GRIDL #breakfastofchampions

Looking for a proper breakfast in Cornwall? GRIDL #breakfastofchampions cooks Cornish breakfasts fresh to order in Bodmin, the county town in the middle of Cornwall, right on the A30. Eat in, take it away, or have it delivered anywhere in Bodmin town.

We set out to make the best Cornish breakfast we can: good Cornish produce, cooked on the griddle and steam baked, with no fryers and no microwaves. Here is what goes on the plate, and why it is worth the stop.

What goes into a proper Cornish breakfast

A Cornish breakfast is a full cooked breakfast with a few things you will not find on a standard full English. These are the parts that make ours Cornish:

  • Cornish hog's puddingA traditional Cornwall and Devon sausage of pork, cereal and spices, with no blood in it. Ours comes from a local Bodmin butcher, and you can choose it instead of black pudding on the GRIDL Breakfast (the SuperGRIDL has both).
  • Cornish potato cakeA golden, griddled potato cake that does the job hash browns do elsewhere, only better.
  • Eggs your waySpinach-scrambled, scrambled or fried. Our omelettes and Breakfast Muffin are made with St Ewe free-range eggs.
  • Thick-cut smoked bacon and sausageThe backbone of the plate. Our sausages are steam-baked in the oven, not grilled or griddled.
  • Garlic cherry plum tomatoes, mushrooms and stewed beansThe supporting cast, done with care rather than out of a tin and a fryer.
  • One slice of griddled tiger loafCrisp on the outside, soft inside, and ideal for the last of the beans.
