You usually have them occasionally. Often if you've had a big night out and have a hangover as they're pretty good for that. The ones shown here are either for Instagram hits or sharing. You wouldn't eat this amount, even if you went for a full one from what's known as a builder's or workman's caff which are the OG home for them.

You can also make them yourself so some people do that maybe once a week, often on a Sunday as it's a type of 'treat' meal. The best places for them, as mentioned, however, are caffs. If you come to London and get a black cab from the airport, always mention to the cabbie you want a good fryup and can he recommend somewhere. There are a load of them out further east London that open early in the morning to cater to the cabbie and builder's trade so if you want the absolute top tier of them, you'll have to make the journey out. Often, some will have a fixed 'full' but usually you order a basic outline and then add in what you want. Or it's offered to you. So, you can actually make them as big as you like and add in whatever you want. Related is Beppe's. This is around Smithfield's market so it's famous but it caters primarily for all the meat traders coming in early in the morning. I compiled a composite of pics for it. So, top left is the usual menu situation. It will set out various options then you take or add on what you want. Then all the photos are the variations you can get. These are pretty modest, really. They're big but you could add on tons of stuff to them still. But this is about the usual way they're eaten if you're, say, a builder coming in. The one bottom right is absolutely spot on. Needs tomato, but that fried bread is tip top. Black pudding is unusual in London caffs, though. They'll supply it but it's not typical. Chips are very common and you see this in most of them up north too. But again, it's a preference thing so you can add or remove what you like, or get extra sausages or an extra egg or what have you.
