What people say, in short
Pleasant House Pub's full English breakfast attracts repeated recommendations, including one diner who calls it a favorite and another who enjoyed a first visit. One commenter instead prefers French toast with chips. A dissenter finds the breakfast underwhelming and expensive. Praise for the relaxed, plant-filled room is one visitor's observation rather than a guarantee of a quiet meal.
