Only Three People Have Ever Defeated This £20 Breakfast Challenge

The Big Breakfast Challenge at Treat's in Weston-Super-Mare includes 42 portions of 11 English brekkie standards

A cafe in south-west England is offering people the chance to try a breakfast so big that only three have ever managed to complete it.

Treat's Café in Weston-Super-Mare's Big Breakfast Challenge is an absolutely gigantic fry-up including 42 portions of 11 English brekkie standards.

The huge full English breakfast consists of four pieces of toast, four fried pieces of bread, six pieces of bacon, six sausages, six fried eggs, six hash browns, four black puddings, two bubble and squeak, mushrooms, beans and two tomatoes.

The whole thing costs about £20, but eat it within an hour and you get it for free.

One intrepid reporter from Somerset Live did recently attempt to take on the Big Breakfast Challenge and, well, he failed miserably.

Cameron Jenkins from the publication said the food arrived with a timer, at which point the staff ask you if you want them to start it.

It is possible to just try and eat the breakfast in your own time of course - perhaps shared with five other people since that's how many people we reckon could get a feed from this.

Jenkins though decided to have a crack and managed to eat for 17 minutes and 46 seconds, although apparently some people can last until the 45 minute mark before the sweats really kick in and they have to stop.

To even get close to finishing the gargantuan breakfast you need to eat tactically.

Starting with the bread - which he did - was a big no-no, as the carbs fill you up the most.

There is one man we reckon could be up for the job though - none other than Libertines and Babyshambles guitarist and vocalist Pete Doherty.

In 2018, Doherty stunned locals in Margate after being sighted working his way through a breakfast challenge in the town's Dalby Cafe.

The Mega Breakfast contains four eggs, four rashers of bacon, four sausages, a quarter pounder burger, chips, hash browns, onion rings, bubble and squeak, beans or tomatoes, mushrooms, two slices of thick bread and a tea or coffee.

That may not be quite as big as the gut-busting option at Treat's, but at Dalby's you only get 20 minutes to eat it - something that Doherty apparently managed.

If that wasn't enough, the musician also appeared to have downed a bottle of Yazoo at the same time, with the snap showing it sat on his table.

Truly heroic stuff.
