The English Breakfast Society

The English Breakfast Society (EBS) is a learned society of fellows, dedicated to the tradition and heritage of the full English breakfast. We are a non-profit organisation, staffed by volunteers and independent of the retail & farming industries. We research the heritage, tradition and story of the English breakfast and document our work on this website. We provide information, advice and guidance to members of the public and journalists, on all matters relating to that icon of Englishness, the fry up. Our founders cared about a centuries old tradition, one that was falling into decline and suffering from poor standards in preparation and ingredients. They felt that the tradition deserved more and worked to restore an icon of Englishness back to its former glory.
