I did wonder as I ventured down the stairs at the Drayton Court Hotel what I would have for breakfast. As I had an early start in the centre of London, it was early as I gave my room number and sat down to look over the breakfast menu.
Should I have the poached eggs on smashed avocado I had on a previous visit? What about Eggs Benedict? However as it was early I wasn’t really in the mood for hollandaise sauce or avocado, so I went with the full English, poached eggs and no beans.
Virtually all the of the time at Drayton Court the breakfast is excellent, and this time was no exception, once more it was delicious. I have written about the excellent breakfast experience at the Fuller’s hotel, Drayton Court. I have had similar experiences at other Fuller’s hotels, such as the Queen’s Head in Kingston and the Fox and Goose on Hangar Lane. The one time I had a poor experience (from the same hotel chain) was at the Hand & Flower in Hammersmith. Though it certainly looked like the breakfast at the Drayton Court, it wasn’t the same. Essentially it tasted like yesterday’s breakfast heated up. The bacon was certainly not freshly cooked and the sausage was still cold in the middle.
Let now that experience colour the Drayton Court breakfast which was, as many times before, an outstanding eating experience.
