Their slogan is "best breakfast in Bournemouth". It's really good, but the claim might be pushing the boundaries of reality a bit. We ordered 2 X number 3 breakfasts and a "Magnificent 7". I would say the glass of orange juice which comes with the meal is very stingy. Not a much bigger than a shot glass. However, it's still a nice touch. Shame some of the breakfasts don't come with a cuppa though. Hot drinks are not included on every option. I also noticed when I got my "Magnificent 7" does not come with toast! This is in my opinion an essential part of English breakfast. I also like just buttered bread to wipe up with. This should be addressed.
There is also a claim that the breakfast is guaranteed to be the best in town. I don't think it is, although it's very good. I would be interested to see how far that claim goes, and what the guarantee covers. In my opinion, the breakfast at Conto Lounge is better, but also more expensive.
There does not seem to be any efforts made by the management to make the business "Covid19 safe" no screens and tables are closer than guidelines would recommend currently.
The plus sides are that everything we got was well cooked well. The fies eggs were perfect.
I would like the owners to reply to this message, giving me a clear outline and details regarding their guarantee they...
Read moreWe always appreciate finding local places as genuine as Binnies - No frills, no high expectations, just a small but busy old english cafe, full of life thanks to the local community, and where the best marketing is word of mouth and basic, simple, traditional food, cooked to order and always served with a smile. Of course, their specialty is breakfast, and today we have been able to enjoy it for the first time - and won't be the last, especially considering that we ended up paying around £13 for the biggest breakfast on the menu (HUGE, toasts, orange juice and coffee included), an extra portion of mushrooms and 2 extra slices of toast with butter (and unlimited ketchup and brown sauce too!). All the food tasted fresh and was cooked to order, so definitely worth the wait. The menu also includes lunch and snack options like jacket potatoes, hot and cold sandwiches/rolls/baguettes, burgers, shakes and so on! Prices are very, very reasonable so we will definitely come back to try other delicious...
Read moreMe and my partner went in for breakfast. I had beans and mushrooms on toast and my partner had Tinned Tomatoes and mushrooms on toast with a hash brown. Mine was a little on the small side with about 2 small mushrooms and a spoonful of beans but his we thought was a complete joke! 1 slice of toast, a tinned tomato with not one bit of juice and a hash brown. Now ... he is 50 not 5 so this was to us a bit of a shock to us! When he mentioned to the waitress she just looked a bit blankly at us! No one came over ... so we paid and left with the pact that we certainly wouldn’t go back in there again ... we promptly went over to Tesco Express and bought a flapjack each to ease the hunger 😂
Moral of the story .... if you order tomatoes ... tell them that the ‘s’ on the end does mean more than one! Or perhaps just go...
