This is a truly astonishing place and the full English breakfast is outstanding. 3 own make chipolata sausages. 3 rashers of own make bacon. 2 eggs from their own hens, 2 slices of their award winning black pudding and a slice of toast and butter.
A pot of tea is a reasonable £2.45.
My only, very personal gripe, is that the breakfast doesn't come with baked beans, tomato or mushrooms. I get the fact that Uptons wants everything in the breakfast, to be home produced and adding any of the 3 ingredients mentioned above, takes away that uniqueness. But I would happily pay an extra £1.00 for a portion of beans, added to the cost of £11.00, just to top off this great breakfast.
This small, family run shop, has a butchers, cafe, deli and is an outstanding asset to the area. Super friendly owner, brilliant staff members who are all superb ambassadors for the company. Look out for their evening specials...like the upcoming Burns Night on the 25th January. Not cheap at £40.00, but you will be guaranteed the finest meal.
Highly recommended.
Point of interest, if you have a disability blue badge, you can park on the forecourt outside the building, but don't block access.
UPDATE: My thanks to Steve, Katerina and the whole Upton of Bassett team, for the very nice reply to my comment. I would just like to add that I fully understand and respect your decisions on adding extras. I just wish I lived closer to your wonderful premises. Good luck to you all.
I have always wanted to come into Uptons for breakfast, and I was super surprised. This was the best I have tasted for many years. The meal was reasonably priced and was complemented by a great pot of tea. There is a good vibe in the shop, and I can see why it is so popular. The cafe section is small - eight tables, I think - but don't let this put you off. The staff are helpful and very friendly, and it was a pleasure coming in. Best wishes to all in Uptons of Bassett.
