Premier inn breakfast or toby breakfast ?

in june we are of to the good food show at the NEC and have booked the premier inn for £29 per night it has a toby carvery next door

now the toby carvery breakfast is £3.99 and the premier inn-one is £8.50

can any one explain why if your eating in the same place you would pay premier inn the dearer amount to get breakfast or am i missing somthing here ?

    because with one adult premier inn breakfast you get kids free? I paid £8.50 last month for Premier Inn breakfast and that covered me (adult) and 3 kids.

    we stayed in the premier inn Washington easter weekend and they have a toby carvery next to them

    we had the Premier inn all you can eat breakfast and we ate in the premier inn not in the toby carvery

    £8.75 for premier inn all you can eat includes cereal, fruit juice, and unlimited tea and coffee plus all the hot options toast and pastries

    at the toby carvery you get the hot options for £3.99 you can add mushrooms for 99p then it is £1.99 for unlimited tea and coffee and if you want ceareal it is another £1.29, if you want juice it is extra again

    so at the end of the day if you go into the toby carvery and have the hot options for £3.99 with no drinks and no extras then it is better value but if you have all the options it works out about the same

    In my experience, the quality and variety of the Premier Inn breakfast is far superior to the Toby Carvery Breakfast offering. Plus when you add the price of tea/coffee to the price of the Toby breakfast, the price gap is much smaller.
  • Both are pretty much as cheap as you can get!

    surely if you are going to the good food show, you wont have a great time at Toby Carvery or premier inn??!!

    I thought it was only up to two under 16s could get a free breakfast with a paying adult. I think you got an extra good deal there:money:.

    Having eaten the premier inn breakfast a few times at a few different places, I have to say they are good quality and worth the money.

    my youngest is 5, and she didn't want anything hot for breakfast, so I think thats why the waiter didn't charge anything for her :).

    I think the Premier Inn breakfast is pretty good value for money.

    at the airport premier inns and the busier locations breakfast is served on a buffet and it is help yourself even for the hot options

    at the quieter locations it is served on a plate but it is still all you can eat, if you want three sausage three bacon and two eggs just ask, even if you have a smaller breakfast and fancy more just ask

    when i have a premier inn breakfast i fill up for the day so a drink and a snack is all i need at lunch and then that will see me to dinner
  • Premier Inn breakfasts are lovely. A bit pricey but we have 2 children so they eat for free.
    Well worth it!

    If were going out for the day we head to the local premier inn for breakfast.

    2 adults and 2 kids fully stuffed for 16 quid is pretty good!
