Rhys Strougler decided to try IKEA’s £1 full English breakfast, which can be snapped up in stores until December 20, 2025, and he made one major point about the grub
When you think of IKEA, the delicious meatballs certainly springs to mind. The Swedish retailer is certainly famous for its affordable furniture, as well as its yummy food. Now people are going wild after hearing IKEA is selling a full English breakfast for £1.
Food blooger Rhys Strougler decided to venture to his local store in Croydon where he tucked into the morning meal at the restaurant inside the IKEA store. On arrival, he went straight to the touchscreen ordering system where he saw a “small cooked breakfast” could be purchased for just a quid!
He told his TikTok followers: “Oh my God it is true,” before adding: “Everyone else must have the same idea,” having spotted the length of the queues at the restaurant.
Rhys continued: “A lady was just saying she had to wait 35 minutes in the queue, so hopefully we’re not going to be waiting for that long!”
After patiently waiting in the queue, he made his wait to the dining area where he showcased his plate containing bacon, a sausage, beans, a hash brown, a tomato and an omelette.
Beginning with the hash brown, Rhys revealed: “Not bad, it tastes like the ones you cook at home in the oven.” Meanwhile the sausage provided a similar verdict, as he continued: “That’s not bad at all, I’m pleasantly surprised… that’s a good sausage guys.”
As for the bacon, Rhys admitted: “It’s a little bit dry, it’s probably been sat there for a little while because they cook it in batches. But you know, this is a quid.”
Moving onto the omelette, which he claimed was in need of one little thing, he said: “Nothing to shout home about… it’s maybe lacking a little bit of sauce.”
As for the overall verdict: “It’s similar to the sort of breakfast you would cook at home, but obviously this is a lot cheaper,” Rhys summarised. “One pound for a full English breakfast in this climate… I’ll freaking take it!”
Writing in response, one TikTok user expressed surprise: “Didn’t think anything cost £1 in the UK anymore.”
A second person quipped: “Great business technique, go for the £1 breakfast end up paying loads for a wardrobe.”
While a third shared: “Great value. No one should complain about it in this economy.”
Then a fourth TikTok user said: “You cant even get anything in the pound shop for £1 again in South London, so it’s definitely a good deal!”
Cleverly marketed as the “Full Swedish”, IKEA said on the official website: “Get a £1 small cooked breakfast every Saturday from 13 September to 20 December 2025. Vegetarian option available. Served until 11am at the Swedish Restaurant (or Swedish Deli at IKEA Brighton and Hammersmith.”
