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...

I'm going to go and get one immediately.
I'm curious as I love a fish finger sandwich, but not sure I want a cold one from Greggs with salad in

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.

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
