Full English if you have the time: Cheadle Royal.

9th March 2013
There is not much you can say about Premier Inns. They are exactly what is written on the box. A chain of budget hotels with a predictable standard at a very reasonable price. The Cheadle Premier Inn ticks all the boxes, and sends you for breakfast to the pub next door which is called the Cheadle Royal.
For £8.50 it promises you an all you can eat breakfast, and that is exactly what came. In fact it was again exactly what was printed on the box and I would say it was value for money by hotel standards, where you can pay a lot more for a lot less.
The breakfast consists of a classic buffet section with fruits cereals and breads, but no deli or cheeses. The main show is the cooked breakfast, and I opted for a customised plate:

I had been warned on Tripadvisor that the cooked meals take a while to come, but I was in no particular hurry, and as you can see there are eggs, sausages, mushrooms and hash browns. I could have had a load more of traditional stuff if I wanted. Heatwise, it was a mix, with the mushrooms at 7 and the sausages at 9, but overall it was a first class full English breakfast (FEB), served with good grace and helpfulness. One interesting surprise on the bread section was crumpets. You don't often get them at breakfast. So overall, I rate the Premier Inn at Cheadle as a good experience for the money. It it's luxury you want, you either have to go to the upmarket Airport Hotel or into the center of Manchester, but you can expect to pay double.
