Breakfast Buffets galore – Where’s best for a cheap all you can eat brekkie?
There’s nothing better after waking up in the morning than stuffing your face with as much food as you can – and that’s why all you can eat breakfast buffets are a personal favourite of mine.
Some of them can be very good value for the amount of food you’re getting too. If I’m at home, I either have a bowl of cereal or slice of toast. At all you can eat breakfast buffets however – I have cereal and toast as my starter… followed by as many bacon and hash browns I can fit on my tiny plate!
This love of breakfasts inspired me to round up all of the cheap breakfast buffets you can find at restaurants around the country – and there are some great options here. Be warned… this may make your tummy rumble:

There are over 250 Frankie & Benny’s restaurants nationwide and do suprisingly good breakfast. A voucher valid every week on it’s ‘offers’ section of the site will get you a free plate refill on any breakfast item. The plate must be clean or close to it, in order to get a second however.
If you want a midweek breakfast, using Meerkat Meals Sunday to Thursday will get you 2for1 on breakfast so you can cut your costs that way.
Ikea £1.50 breakfast
Adults: £1.50 (for six item breakfast)
Kids: £1.15 (for three item breakfast)
Tea/filtered coffee: Free
Served from 9.30am-11am
If you are signed up to Ikea Family Club, you can grab a six item breakfast for £1.50 and a free filter coffee every weekday before 11am. Although it isn’t unlimited, you could go up and get another plate for £1.50 if you were that hungry. You can only claim a free tea/coffee once a day however, so will have to pay 40p for another if you were extra thirsty. So although this isn’t unlimited, you can eat plenty of food for a very cheap price.
There are plenty of other places to pick up a buffet breakfast, such as hotels and hotel bars, however the ones featured above offer the best price and have the most locations around the country.
