Whether it’s a steamy cup of coffee or a “full English,” breakfast in the United Kingdom is a delightful respite during your cruise. The country’s pubs and cafés offer hearty, familiar morning staples to prepare you for a day of sightseeing or a visit to the breathtaking Dover White Cliffs.

Eggs and toast aside, the British capital is also known for its multinational cuisine, notably Indian, so you might take the opportunity to enjoy a bacon naan roll with chile tomato jam and cream cheese.

You’re probably familiar with the country’s most traditional breakfast fare, served altogether: bacon, eggs, fried or grilled tomatoes, fried mushrooms, fried bread or buttered toast, and sausages (also called “bangers”). If you’re checking out the restaurant scene for the this platter, arrive hungry. And to challenge your palette at least a bit, ask for black pudding or bubble and squeak.
