I suppose it does sound a bit evangelical (!) but I have been a very happy customer there for years (under the present ownership) and I want to stick up for them!! I like Jarrolds too as it happens and rate both of them way above Dixies which was very disappointing both in ambience and food quality and not somewhere I shall bother with again.

I am off to Tokyo in September in search of the best street food! I think I may have tried one of the "hot sausage company" hot dogs in Cambridge, are they the ones sold on the carts on the street corners? I recently discovered some great local sausages at "Battle of the bangers" my favourite was the Archers sausage http://fryupsgoodornot.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/sergeant-sausage-battle-of-bangers-2013.htmlFry Up Inspectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00897629969087026075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1190068840984601731.post-69727732357623694362014-01-17T10:34:58.408+00:002014-01-17T10:34:58.408+00:00I would just like to say you are a god for setting...I would just like to say you are a god for setting up this website! its a shame it hasnt gone national but luckily for me I live in Cambridge and sometimes visit Norwich and thanks to you I know where to go for a fry up!

The meal was certainly large but served on a black, chipped plate. Bit of an overall taste of stale oil and the sausages are certainly nothing special - just a standard machine made product. An adequate (and generous) offering but I was not wowed by it. The Denmark is head and shoulders above this in my opinionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1190068840984601731.post-78079668436436642102012-04-27T13:11:16.438+01:002012-04-27T13:11:16.438+01:00Glad to be of help Linda and Bruce!Glad to be of help Linda and Bruce!Fry Up Inspectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00897629969087026075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1190068840984601731.post-89066169333949329652012-04-27T12:27:48.077+01:002012-04-27T12:27:48.077+01:00Thanks for telling us about Dixies...only a couple...Thanks for telling us about Dixies...only a couple of streets from home and we hadnt thought of trying it so your review sent us there a few weeks ago and we relly enjoyed a huge breakfast mid week!

It took me back to my childhood days on a saturday morning of going down the local cafe. Alas there was no jukebox or pinball machines in Dixies, however apart from that, the feel was the same. Friendly staff, mums and dads bringing in their children for a Saturday morning treat, I,m sure those little ones will grow up to have some of the same fond memories that I remember. It would seem though that it is a bit of a kept secret as we only stumbled on "Dixies" whilst driving around the ring road on the way to a recent autumn vacation on the broads. The food was great. The atmosphere was friendly with everyone seeming to know each other and one big happy family. My only reccomendation would be to improve the signage from the road so more people could share the experience 'Dixies'. <br /><br />L L - DaventryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1190068840984601731.post-76841325678139681782011-09-05T18:10:46.755+01:002011-09-05T18:10:46.755+01:00Your welcome, glad to have helped!Your welcome, glad to have helped!Fry Up Inspectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00897629969087026075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1190068840984601731.post-90113792737186039242011-09-05T13:54:54.192+01:002011-09-05T13:54:54.192+01:00Just wanted to write a thank you for your website....Just wanted to write a thank you for your website. My husband and I were on a day out with friends the other weekend and usually like to line our tums, but this time decided after dropping our son off at my parents would be good to not cook it myself.
