Best meal of the day !?

Victorian England was built on Breakfasts - well, so I was told at school.

Breakfast is all kinds of things to all manner of folk, and everyone seems to have a different idea of what makes a really god breakfast. 

Even if you’re not someone who normally eats a cooked breakfast, many of us enjoy sitting down to bacon and eggs with the trimmings before heading off for a day in the hills, or some strenuous relaxing on our Heritage Coast
(We’ll share the secret of our local ‘hidden’ beach with our guests - it’s just a couple of fields away - but don’t tell everyone)  

The Number One Breakfast

Our breakfast menu continually changes with the seasons and the availability of fresh produce, so please take this as a guide. 

To start

Sausages!

Can there be anything that causes more interest than the humble sausage?
We like sausages, we’ve always liked sausages. My grandfather and HIS father made sausages. 
We think that sausages should have some character, some texture, and a flavour that conveys something more than bland and breadcrumb. 
Here in Northumberland, we take our sausage seriously, and at Number One we are fortunate to have some skilled craftsmen making them. in Alnwick we have R Turnbull & Sons, who have been working on their recipes for over a hundred years. A little further away is the award winning Rothbury Family Butchers where Morris Adamson has an amazing range of sausage, and we may venture to Blagdon,where the Farm shop purveys more excellent, and local, produce.

Which we have at any day will depend on which supplier it was, so please give us your opinion - and any tasting notes!.

For something a little different

It often seems to be guests who stay for a few nights who enjoy having something a little more different at breakfast,

Vegetarians - Welcome! -

 Kippers are available locally of course, for they were invented at Seahouses, and still made at Craster. We’ll obtain them if you ask us in advance, or we put them on the menu as ‘specials’ when we have them in.
 Porridge is another almost local treat. There is lots to say about porridge. We aim to make a light,creamy elixir unlike the stolid stuff of comic films.

Bacon

Just as with sausage - our bacon comes from different suppliers, and varies slightly in character, but always to a consistently high standard, and we’re always interested in our guests opinions and tasting notes !
