Porthmadog · Penamser Industrial Estate

A breakfast of heroic proportions.

In 2013 Breaktimes launched the Hercules breakfast and challenged its rivals, reckoning it was the biggest fried breakfast in North Wales.

“We’ve done our research, and believe this is the biggest fried breakfast in North Wales.”

Put the kettle on. Take a break.

The name says what it’s for. Pull up a pine table at Breaktimes, order a fry-up or a roll, and let somebody else do the cooking for once.
