Could this belly-busting 8,000 calorie fry-up be Britain’s biggest breakfast?

That’s the claim of Congleton’s Bear Grills Cafe, which is offering £100 to any customer who manages to finish the monster meal.

Not one of the 20 daring diners who have risen to the challenge so far have managed to finish the feast, which consists of eight sausages, eight rashers of bacon, four hash browns, four fried eggs, a four egg cheese omelette, four waffles, four pieces of toast, four pieces of fried bread, four chunks of black pudding, two ladles of beans, two ladles of tomatoes, mushrooms and a portion of large chips - with two pints of milkshake to wash it all down.

Mark Winder, boss of the all-day breakfast cafe, said: “I reckon with these ingredients you could feed a family for a week. The breakfast alone is around 6,000 calories and the 2,000 calorie milkshake just tops it off.

“We weighed all the cooked food and it came to a whopping 7lbs. That’s the weight of a baby. It’s called the Hibernator because if anyone completes it they’ll have so sleep for a year.”

Customers must sign a legal disclaimer before they attempt the Man vs Food style challenge to confirm they are over 18 and have no underlying health conditions because of the shockingly high calorie and fat content.

It clocks in at four times a woman’s recommended daily intake of 2,000 calories and more than three times the guideline limit of 2,500 for a man.

Mark, 39, said: “It is all men who have tried the challenge, and they look at the ingredients up on the board and say ‘I am going to smash that.’

“But then they see it come out on the big platter all heaped high and start to cry on the phone to their friends. They give up after about twenty minutes.”

The feast is brought out on a 4ft turkey platter, because Mark could not find any plates big enough, and challengers have an hour to devour it all.

Anyone who manages to finish the £19.95 meal gets £100 as well as having their name added to a wall of fame, a breakfast named after them and the chance to add another ingredient to the challenge.

Mark said he cooked up the idea to lure in a younger clientele, but added: “It is great fun to watch and my customers in their 60s and 70s come in especially to watch.

“They love it. It’s a great spectator sport.”
