Wellies or dealer boots at LAMMA tomorrow?

[Tarw Coch]

Use to be free i thought?

I can remember it being 4 quid before 7.30, 6 quid after at Newark and a proper good feed.
Not sure that they do a early bird special offer any more.
Last year they included imported milk/butter in the breakfast, good to know they're supporting British farmers eh.
Doesn't sound good for this year either, dissapointing as its organised by the owners of farmers guardian, a publication which relys on farmers.

Im going tomorrow, trouble is, where else can you get a half decent breakfast before sun up in the area?
Suggestions welcome.

I’ve eaten a full English in the Cambridge services before and it was king compared to today’s lamma effort, it’s just down the road, last year the early bird wasn’t that bad at lamma but wasn’t impressed today.

Don't know if there's one close but Premier Inns do a good breakfast, £9 and you help yourself to as much as you want cereals, toast, drinks, juice, and fried stuff. Start pretty early, 6.30 if I remember right.

Yes I'd agree that the breakfast was ok last year, just expressing a dissapointment that a show for farmers wasn't fully backing British farmers in the breakfast department.

We're heading from the west so don't pass Cambridge services.

Shame, years ago I eat breakfast at one of the vans before I knew about the early bird, wasn’t bad as bacon rolls go but I remember thinking it should have had half a pig in it for the price

You're dead right. Go to the Paris Show and there's a whole marquee full of fresh local produce for meals. No doubt the site has some deal with a catering company, but it was a shame there were no festival type caterers, just crappy vans selling mainly sliced pork rolls from what I could see.

Food is often an issue at shows and with it being an early start it's nice to get a good breakfast in you.
We do have an option of stopping at Dinkys Diner outside Shrewsbury but would prefer to get the miles done before traffic builds.

Son wants to know if the early bird breakfast is free?
Anyone know?

Yours was when you went as the driver always eats free when I am a passenger

 

[Father ted]

£7.95 rather than £9.95
As said pretty poor quality, only one egg and one sausage which was rubber. Better to visit Wetherspoons in the town if you want a cheap breakfast.

Wetherspoons on site next year happy days

That's unlikely to happen. Too many things would need putting in place.
