Steak bake, sausage roll and a Greg's coffee are a delight on a chilly morning.

As for a fry up, have what you want.
Except:

Anyone allowing baked bean sauce to mix with the yolk of a runny egg deserves nothing but agony and misery. Appalling to witness and should be fucking outlawed.

I only had one out of curiosity. The fish fingers were 'allright' but nothing special and the salad addition, less said the better...

Not picking a fight. But ketchup shouldn't be anywhere near a sausage. At least for anyone postpubescent upwards. Brown sauce is what you need my friend. 
Sausage roll. Not a roll with a sausage in it.
But when I eat sausages 8n bread, I like tomato sauce and English mustard.
Brown sauce is for pork chops.
In France and Belgium it's a Pain su Saucisse and they are horrible. It's not pork minced meat as such but a horrible sausage wrapped in pastry.  Gregg's sausage rolls are a legend. One of the ex's like the veggie one and even those aren't too bad.

So here goes and it is aimed at this Board’s Bon viveurs. What wine should I choose to accompany a traditional full English breakfast?
If you absolutely MUST have something alcoholic alongside a pre-noon full English then I'd suggest a dry German Wiessbier and not wine.

If you feel that following that advice will give you designs on invading Poland, then something fairly acidic to balance all the fat & grease; Greene King IPA, maybe? Worthington White Shield would be my preference here, where available, but I'm not a pikey and breakfast is long done & dusted before 9 am.

Post-noon Brunch, however, fill yer boots.
Rubbish from Oxbore as usual. With all that grease you need a medium dry wine like a Liebfraumilch or any Riesling grape wine.

if the meat is pork then it should probably be a white, or a lighter bodied red like a pinot noir.

I am with Manuel 50% on this one. Hash browns are an abomination. However, with regard to beans vs tomatoes on a fry-up, tomatoes are not sweet enough to properly balance the salt overload of bacon, black pudding and sausages. Baked beans are the ticket.
  Yea but youre a bird..( at a stretch)...so it proves my point .
You should stick to ryvita
NO BEANS
