From a good old fashioned fry-up to Bombay-style brunches, we have scoured through TripAdvisor favourites and multiple award winners to find the best breakfast spots from around the UK.

Six years after being launched by Jo and Stuart Myers, the Greedy Pig Kitchen is thriving, with a well-deserved 4.5-bubble TripAdvisor rating. Previously a sandwich shop, the café, which has just 16 seats, serves a range of breakfast options, from a classic full English to pancakes, merguez sausages with duck eggs and harissa, and pumpkin and feta on sourdough.

While it might be tempting to stick to York city centre (and why wouldn’t you), some things are worth venturing out for. Among those is the Pig & Pastry – a café so popular among locals you’ll be lucky not to find a queue outside. Why such a fuss? For under a tenner, you can feast on the likes of Brindisa chorizo and scrambled eggs, smokehouse kippers and waffles.

Located in Harrogate’s Great Yorkshire Showground, Fodder not only sells an abundance of fresh and local produce, but it also re-invests its profits into the local community. On the menu is anything from organic porridge to the ‘full Yorkshire’, consisting of bacon, sausage, egg, tomato and black pudding.

If you’re after a traditional English breakfast, this New Zealand eatery isn’t the place to go. But it does know a thing or two about serving up a good Kiwi brunch. Supplied by the Depot Bakery, which bakes incredible sourdough and bagels, the café’s speciality is ‘the big Kiwi’. This includes eggs, bubble & squeak, mushroom, spiced corn on the cob, Cumberland sausage, home baked beans, streaky bacon and some of Depot’s finest ciabatta.

Winner of the best breakfast spot in the UK in 2014 and 2015, The Tavern Company is famous for its quality English breakfast, served with bottomless tea. Despite its seemingly British approach to breakfast, the restaurant is also Liverpool’s first Mexican and American BBQ. The winning full English consists of two homemade sausages, lean back bacon, egg, grilled tomato, black pudding, mushrooms, baked beans and doorstop toast.

Well-loved for its Cumberland sausage bap with scrambled eggs, this Liverpool restaurant acts as both a dine-in restaurant and a deli. The menu is full of variety and you can choose to sit in and eat eggs, anyway you like them, or gorge on a full English for under £10 (you can tell we’re up north). TripAdvisor soundbite: “The food is really tasty and excellent cappuccino. The staff are so friendly and polite. 100% recommended.”

If you’re looking for something a little different, Manchester’s trendy brunch spot is well worth a go. The whole city’s food scene is undergoing a re-vamp, and with it has come this little gem, which resides in a historic indoor market building. The modern canteen-style space now serves dishes such as slow-cooked lamb on sourdough and morcilla black pudding with poached eggs, sourdough and smoked chilli ketchup.

Previously named Breakfast Champions of the North West, Tebay Services isn’t like any other service station. Popular for its fantastic views of the Cumbrian countryside, the station serves up a range of fresh breakfasts, with all meat sourced from on-site butchers. TripAdvisor soundbite: “It's surprising that other motorway service stations don't learn from this establishment – great freshly cooked food; friendly staff; well stocked and good quality shop, all with good views.”

Winner of AA Hotel of the Year 2016/17, staying at the Northcote is already a bit of a treat. But a stay here also includes a breakfast far better than your average continental buffet. You can wake up, head downstairs and order the likes of a good old fashioned English breakfast, or Lancaster Smokehouse juniper and Beech smoked salmon with scrambled eggs.

With queues outside almost daily, Norwich’s No 33 is a guaranteed winner. There is no shortage of quality baked goods in the area, yet people will still, come wind or rain, stand outside for a bite of the goods here. Menu highlights include mushrooms on toast with a goat's cheese and red onion chutney, as well as a posh sausage sandwich with smoked Applewood, mushroom and caramelised onion chutney in a toasted ciabatta.

This busy boozer might remind you of late nights and endless pints, but it also transforms into a brilliant breakfast venue, with a menu offering a variety of options to kickstart your day – from smoothies and quinoa porridge to homemade baked beans on sourdough with a poached egg. The venue is rated a 4.5 on TripAdvisor and was granted a Certificate of Excellence.

Away from traditional fry-ups and meat sandwiches is Sardaar – a restaurant that serves up bang for your buck, with extra bang. Entirely vegetarian, this isn’t for the bacon fanatics among you, but it is for those looking for something a little different. The Punjabi menu offers dishes such as lentil cakes for just £1.20 and chili paneer for just £3.99. TripAdvisor soundbite: “The food is delicious and the atmosphere is welcoming and I love to come here for breakfast.”

As the name suggests, Source is renowned for sourcing independent and local produce, which is available in the form of hefty lunch portions. But breakfast is what really brings this venue to life. On the menu, you’ll find the likes of a classic full English and an epic veggie breakfast. TripAdvisor soundbite: “We both had the full English – great poached eggs, cooked properly. White pudding and mushrooms were a real highlight.”

One of the busiest breakfast spots in the city centre, Delilah’s popularity says it all. Menu specials include the avocado and poached eggs on toast and the salt beef hash. TripAdvisor soundbite: “This is a real gem in the heart of Nottingham. Wandering around the deli and sampling odds and ends is always a pleasure, and the café menu is interesting and enticing.”

Situated in the heart of the historic market town, the River Cottage Canteen is rated highly among TripAdvisor users and is well-known for offering a generous breakfast menu, as well as regular live music. Head here for the likes of smoked Chesil kippers with granary toast and drop scones with honey. There are sister canteens in Bristol, Plymouth and Winchester.

This rustic local sure knows how to do sophisticated beachside dining. Choose from the famous farmhouse breakfasts to eggs any way you like them. TripAdvisor soundbite: “I can thoroughly recommend the bacon benedict, the Dorset mushroom benedict and the farmhouse breakfast. I've also had their crab sarnie at lunch time and the cappuccino cake. Delicious!”

For those with a sweet tooth, this is the place to be. With a 5-bubble TripAdvisor rating and hundreds of loving reviews for its “scrumptious cake, custard tarts and pastries”, it’s certainly worth dropping by for a morning sugar fix. Other menu highlights also include the sausage and bacon with fried egg on ciabatta.

Like many Cotswolds haunts, the Lavender Bakehouse has an ethos very much centred around local food supplied by small producers. But what makes this place stand out from the rest is its ability to serve fresh pastries and cakes, a full English and a range of pancakes as though each is the café’s main speciality.

Café Gandolfi also makes it quite clear that all ingredients are sourced locally, from its sausages to its fish and its fruit and veg. TripAdvisor soundbite: “Fantastic brunch menu featuring plenty of Scottish ingredients. The poached eggs had satisfyingly runny yolks and the hollandaise sauce was delicious.”

After a day’s hiking around Rannoch Moor, head to Corrour Station House for a breakfast for champions. Rated 5 bubbles on TripAdvisor, the café is not only set in a beautiful environment, but it also serves up some spectacular morning grub. Re-fuel on a full fry-up or a selection of eggs and you won’t be disappointed. Call in advance to secure a space though, the café closes in November and then only opens intermittently for the rest of the year.

Owned and run by farmers Ian and Alison Niven, this rustic farm shop started from scratch in 2003, and has now become a 100-cover coffee shop, serving up fresh farm produce for breakfast and lunch. Menu highlights are the Gloagburn club bacon roll, eggs benedict and of course the Gloagburn cooked breakfast, consisting of local sausages, Ayreshire bacon, Stornoway black pudding, poached egg, tomato and toast.

Not only does the Harbourmaster have a well-deserved 4.5-bubble rating on TripAdvisor, but it also has the advantage of being set among the Aberaeron quays, just a minute’s walk from the beach. Specialising in Welsh cuisine, menu highlights include eggy bread with maple syrup and Penlan bacon and the Welsh breakfast, which includes the ingredients for a traditional English, plus some laverbread. Yum.

Focusing on plant-based eating, Milgi might not sound like the place to go for a fry-up, but it is a vegetarian delight. The menu highlight is the Milgi breakfast – cheese and onion sausage, fried egg, grilled tomato, Portobello mushroom, Milgi beans, potato wedges and sour dough toast – but the warm breakfast muffin with fruits and honey is perfect for those with a sweet tooth.

Over in Belfast, Established has a similar vibe – concrete, coffee art, unusual veggies – and similarly fantastic food. Consistently rated 5 bubbles for its brunch on TripAdvisor, Established is the place to go for the likes of quinoa fritters with curried apple remoulade, minted greens and chilli fried eggs; super sweet waffles; and leek and cheese scones with salted honey butter.

This two-floor café is sat beside Moira’s 140-year old, multi-award winning butcher’s shop, meaning the café has become a bit of a meat-lover's paradise. While it does have some veggie options on offer, its award-winning sausages are the showstopper. Think it can’t get better? Its 12-item breakfast costs just £7.50.

If you love the sound of all these classic full English breakfasts, but want something a little different, Dishoom is the place. Offering one of the best, and most original breakfasts in London, this Bombay-infused restaurant is so loved you’ll find yourself queuing outside, sipping on a complementary chai tea to get yourself a seat (but it’s totally worth it). Try the naan rolls stuffed with bacon or Shropshire sausage, plus cream cheese and chilli tomato jam.

Alternatively, if a traditional English breakfast is more your cup of tea, Regency Café is a safe bet. First opened in 1946 in Westminster, the café has been voted among the best eateries in London by Yelp and it really doesn’t get much more British than this. The art-deco greasy spoon offers several dishes for a fraction of London prices. A fry-up with tea or coffee will set you back just £5.50, with extras such as hash browns and black pudding priced at just 90p. Bargain.

However, if you’re less into the greasy spoon feel and want a chic, glamorous 24/7 restaurant with incredible views of London, Duck and Waffle is a more obvious choice. The restaurant’s famous duck and waffle breakfast is served any time of the day with a crispy duck leg confit, fried duck egg and mustard maple syrup. This is just one option on the extensive menu put together by chef Dan Doherty, but it’s certainly not to be missed.

A breakfast spot so good that there’s even a book about it. In said book, Breakfast at The Wolseley, AA Gill describes the venue as a cross between the “traditional robustness of the Parisian brasserie and the gloriously grand but cosy comfort of the Viennese café”. On the menu? Anything from muesli and bagels to haggis with fried duck eggs.

Finally, how could we not mention a chain where breakfast is the specialty all day, every day? It’s also one of the only places you enjoy brunch and then walk through a fridge door to reach a cocktail bar. On the menu, you’ll find the likes of the All American – pancakes, eggs, sausage, home-style potatoes, streaky bacon and maple syrup – and chorizo hash with poached egg and a lemon and feta sauce. Yum.
