The owner instructed me and I make an egg in a ring; a Cumberland sausage or rashers of bacon, and toast. And also on every plate a halved tomato which was cooked right on the stove cooktop alongside the egg. I had never had this combination and also such wonderful sausage or bacon. The warm tomato went so well with everything.<br />But no black pudding.
