What comes with the Eggs Benedict
- 01
Poached eggs
Two poached eggs bring a delicate texture and runny yolks that mingle with the hollandaise and muffin.
- 02
Wiltshire cured ham
Thick slices of Wiltshire cured ham add a savoury bite alongside the soft eggs and rich sauce.
- 03
English muffin
The lightly toasted English muffin provides a soft, chewy base beneath the ham, eggs and hollandaise.
- 04
Hollandaise sauce
Rich, buttery hollandaise covers the assembled dish, adding a tangy finish to the eggs and savoury ham.
What the Eggs Benedict is like
Eggs Benedict is a rich, savoury breakfast, with tangy hollandaise balancing the buttery sauce and cured ham. The poached eggs are described with runny yolks, so the centre of the dish is soft rather than firm. Thick slices of ham give each mouthful a more substantial bite, while the muffin adds chewiness beneath the delicate eggs.
The English muffin is lightly toasted but remains soft, rather than providing a hard, crisp base. Ham and eggs sit on top, with hollandaise draped over the assembled dish. Expect the sauce and yolks to mingle as you cut through it. Choose this if that combination appeals more than a breakfast built around separate components.
Served 8am to 12 noon daily
Is the Eggs Benedict good value?
Eggs Benedict is worth considering if you want the poached egg, ham and hollandaise combination rather than choosing on price alone. Its typical price is £5.49, and it is the fifth lowest priced of the 10 items we track in this section among the items we track in the breakfast menu. Each pub sets its own prices, so check locally before ordering.
Compare it with Traditional Breakfast or Breakfast Wrap if you are still deciding on the format of your breakfast. Mushroom Benedict is the named vegetarian alternative in the same section. The useful comparison is what you want on the plate, not an assumed saving or drink deal.
Eggs Benedict calories and nutrition
As listed, before any extra sides, sauces or drinks.
Eggs Benedict contains 612 kcal, equivalent to about 31% of the 2,000 kcal daily reference intake. It is the third lowest calorie of the 8 items we track in this section among the items we track in the breakfast menu. That gives you a starting point for comparing breakfasts, rather than a judgement about which one you should choose.
The listed dish includes hollandaise, so consider the sauce part of the breakfast rather than a separate extra. Additional sides, extra sauce or a drink can change the total for your order. Check the relevant menu information for anything you add, rather than treating the dish figure as the total for your whole meal.

Recipes and suppliers change, and kitchens handle all 14 major allergens. Always tell staff about an allergy and check the official allergen information before ordering. No dish can be guaranteed allergen free.
Eggs Benedict is not suitable for vegetarian or vegan diners as described, because it contains ham and eggs. Our data lists eggs as an allergen and does not provide any dietary tags for this dish. That allergen entry should not be treated as a complete assessment of every component.
Anyone with an allergy should check the pub's current allergen information before ordering, including the muffin and hollandaise. Ask staff about any proposed substitution: swaps can change the allergens in the meal. Mushroom Benedict is listed as vegetarian, but still needs its own allergen check.
When to order the Eggs Benedict
Late morning brunch
Choose this for a savoury brunch before breakfast service ends at noon. The poached eggs, ham and hollandaise suit someone wanting a composed dish on a muffin.
Runny yolk fans
This suits diners who enjoy soft eggs and runny yolks mingling with sauce. The chewy muffin and thick ham provide contrast without changing that soft centre.
Hollandaise lovers
Order it when buttery, tangy hollandaise is the main attraction. The sauce covers the eggs and ham, making it central to the flavour rather than a minor accompaniment.

Tips for ordering the Eggs Benedict
Plan to order between eight am and noon, the listed daily serving window, and check with your chosen pub if timing is tight.
Check the price at your chosen pub before ordering. The listed £5.49 is typical, not a fixed price across every location.
Ask about the current allergen information for the whole dish, not just the eggs, particularly if you need to check the muffin or hollandaise.
Compare Mushroom Benedict if you want a vegetarian breakfast in the same section, rather than assuming a ham substitution is available.
Order at the bar or through the Wetherspoon app at your table. Check any drink separately rather than assuming the breakfast includes one.
