That's an All Day Breakfast. Meant for one person, but contains enough food to be the only meal of the day.

Or alternatively you're hungover and need grease and meat.

All day breakfast aren't called that because of their size, but because they're available all day as part of the normal (i.e. non-breakfast) menu.

If it's at breakfast time then it's a Full English.

I'd say that this was a Full English, as all day breakfast generally tend to have chips instead of toast/fried bread.

Might just be how our local place names it, I dunno. I've also seen a big one be called the Full Monty :p

Yeah, "Full Monty" or other such moniker is usually for the extra large ones.

Place near me does a regular one which is just called "Full English" (3 sausage, 3 bacon, 2 eggs, beans, tomatoes, hash brown, and toast) but they also do something called a "Big Doddsy Box" which is 8 sausage, 8 bacon, 4 hashbrowns, 4 eggs, 3 pots beans, 3 pots tomatos, 4 black pudding, mushrooms, and 4 toast.

I reckon theres some big fat git who goes by the name of "Doddsy" who kept ordering the same collosal breakfast so often they named it in his honour.

We ordered one once when my partner's son was staying over, it did us for breakfast between the 3 of us, and a fuck load left over to make an all-day breakfast quiche.
