Breakfast is often touted as the most important meal of the day.

It gets our day started, provides energy for us to go about day-to-day activities and acts as a base for us to build upon in the early hours.

To many, the undisputed ruler of the breakfast world is - without doubt - the full English, or fry-up for short.

From Peterborough to Wisbech, March to Huntingdon, there are many cafés, pubs and restaurants offering a full English breakfast across Cambridgeshire.

To make your choice easier, we've put together a list of the best fry-ups from across the county, with a little help from Tripadvisor...
