WHO doesn't love a full English?

Bacon, sausage, eggs, hash browns, beans and toast.

Do you add tomatoes? Or mushrooms? Or fried bread?

Today is English Breakfast Day - a day dedicated to showcasing the country's long-standing tradition of starting your morning with a hearty meal.

The celebratory day takes place on December 2 every year and is a chance to support local farmers, butchers and chefs selling and serving local produce as well as introduce new fans to the English breakfast.

Earlier this year, as part of our search to find the best that Warrington has to offer in 23 different categories, we wanted to see where in the town serves the best breakfast.

Café Blu on Grafton Street took top spot but 11 other venues also made the shortlist.
