Blueys Steakhouse Breakfast, Alfreton
Published On Tuesday 29 Apr 2014 by Sticky Beak
“Breakfast at Blueys “, now that’s the title of a film if ever I heard one....... As always there was a cheery smile and “g’day” as we walked through the doors, and we plonked ourselves at the nearest table to peruse the breakfast menu (breakfast is only served on Saturdays between 9am and noon by the way). The man and I both decided on the Bushman’s Breakfast; he had fried egg whilst I had scrambled, I chose chopped tomatoes and he wanted beans, and I had fried bread to his toast. We also ordered two mugs of tea. So Jess took our order through and made us our cuppas. I was pleased to see what I call a proper brew placed in front of me - a fried brekkie needs a fulsome cuppa to go with it, not a wishy-washy “ teabag wafted at the cup” affair that you sometimes get. It wasn’t long before our breakfasts arrived, lovely big plates of yumminess that were just what us hungry birds needed. The sausages were proper meaty affairs, not piddly thin things that are gone in one beakful and the bacon was lovely and thick, the real McCoy rather than that horrible stuff that’s pumped full of water and disappears before your eyes when you grill it. The scrambled eggs are a bit different to what you normally get because they’re done on the griddle, so they’re a bit finer in texture to what most places offer. Still super-tasty though, as was my fried bread when i put my chopped tomatoes on top - which I know it sounds weird, but this bird swoops to the flapping of her own wings as well you know. And the breakfasts were both lovely and hot too, nothing worse than a lukewarm fry-up in my opinion. So another “hot wings” mark for Blueys, we’d certainly go back for Breakfast. Next time I might dress up and be Audrey Hep”bird”!! There’s 3 different size options for the breakfasts too, so something for every appetite and you can add extras bit and bobs too if you want to. Or if a full breakfast is too much for your crops, try one of their breakfast cobs instead. (And remember Blueys will do you a breakfast anytime the reastaurant is open so if you pop in for lunch but still fancy breakfast - No Worries!)
Well what to do when your little chick abandons the nest to go party with a friends flock? Go out for breakfast of course, and that’s exactly what the Boy Wonder and I did. Having been out the night before for an impromptu meal a deux, we couldn’t really be bothered to be early birds catching worms so what better idea than to let our friends at Blueys do it for us.
