Throw out your avocado toast. Bin the poached eggs. Tip your Americano down the loo.

A new vegan grocery store has opened in London – and it's targeting meat-lovers

You’re tired of fancy brunches and paying £7 for some posh toast in the morning. You’re ready for something cheaper, and that something cheaper – if you live in Doncaster, anyway – is a classic fry up.

The Number One Gardens Cafe, in Doncaster, is now serving up what the owners claim is the cheapest fry up in Britain.

It’s £1, which, comparatively speaking, is pretty damn cheap for a decent breakfast.


It’s a full fry up, too – if a little small: one sausage, one rasher of bacon, one fried egg, one hash brown, a bit of beans, some tomatoes, and a slice of toast.

The fry up may not look particularly impressive, the eggs are not free-range, and the beans have been bought in bulk, but considering we’re now used to paying £1 for an extra bit of bacon on our breakfasts, we’ll happily take it.



As you’d expect, the £1 fry up is pretty popular.

‘We did the breakfast for £1.99, but changed it to a special £1 deal,’ says cafe owner Heather Smith, 53.

‘It means homeless people can get a meal each day.

‘It doesn’t take long for them to raise enough change to get a pound on the streets so then they can get some food. It has been a hit with builders in a morning too.

‘It means single parents and parents with a lot of kids can eat for next to nothing, while we are still making a profit. People are still suffering, we get loads of people coming in and paying a quid for a breakfast.’

It’s a small thing, but it’s hugely appreciated by hungry people who are struggling to make ends meet.

And, you know, bacon is always a good thing.
