Breakfast is rightly seen as the climax of the bed and breakfast experience. After a memorable night in a clean room and comfortable bed, expectations for an outstanding breakfast run high. Our wide ranging choice is designed not to disappoint.

The menu is reprinted below but note we will be happy to try to comply with any special needs. We have vegetarian sausages available but it would be useful (although not essential) to know in advance if you would like a vegetarian breakfast.

Locally produced marmalade, honey and strawberry jam will be on your table.

On the dresser you will find:

• orange juice* and grapefruit juice
• fresh fruit (e.g. apple, banana, and oranges)
• cereals (Cornflakes, Coco-Pops, Bite Size Shredded Wheat, Original Alpen)
• a jug of milk*
• more locally produced jam

* Unless there has been a hiccup all our milk and orange juice is organic.

In addition, we provide to order:

• Toast (brown and white)
• Tea or Coffee (cafetière, instant, instant decaf.)
• Grapefruit segments
• Slices of brown and white bread.

Unless there has been another hiccup our brown bread is home-made by Beryl

For the breakfast “main course” we offer two possibilities, but feel free to ask for any combination of ingredients.

First, the fishy alternatives to “the full English”

• Kippers
• Smoked Haddock and Poached Egg
• Smoked Salmon and Scrambled Egg

And then: the traditional, the expected, the great British B&B speciality

       - A full English breakfast

• Egg (Fried or Scrambled)
• Sausage
• Bacon
• Baked Beans
• Grilled Tomato
• Mushrooms (sliced and fried in butter)

Notes on sources of food

Sausages are made by the butcher in the neighbouring village of Rolleston, with meat sourced from the Packington free-range herd near Lichfield.

Bacon is in the form of medallions with most of the fat removed.

Honey comes from Branston, just the other side of Burton, and our preserves are currently made by ladies living in Rolleston and other local villages.

Highfield Happy Hens provides our free range eggs. It is based on a farm at Etwall (about five miles away) and is the basis for charitable work with disadvantaged and troubled young people. This Christian farm is also a visitor centre (leaflet available).
