Travelodge breakfast: £10.95 adults, £8.95 children. Monday–Friday 6:30am–10am. Saturday–Sunday 7am–10am. Hot and cold buffet. More variable than Premier Inn but £2 cheaper. Worth it if you eat a full cooked breakfast. Skip for just coffee and toast.
Travelodge Breakfast Times 2026
Travelodge breakfast times in 2026 are consistent across most UK locations, though some variations exist — always confirm when booking:
| Day | Start | Finish |
|---|---|---|
| Monday – Friday | 6:30am | 10:00am |
| Saturday – Sunday | 7:00am | 10:00am |
| Bank Holidays | 7:00am | 10:00am |
Note that unlike Premier Inn, which extends its weekend breakfast to 10:30am, Travelodge keeps the same 10am cutoff seven days a week. For late weekend risers, Premier Inn is the more accommodating choice.

What's on the Travelodge Breakfast Buffet?
Hot Items
| Item | Quality |
|---|---|
| Pork sausages | Acceptable — standard quality, variable freshness |
| Back bacon | Acceptable — often pre-cooked and kept warm |

Cold Items

- Toast — white and brown bread, toasters at the buffet

BritBreakfast Verdict: 3/5 — Fine, Not Great
At £10.95 Travelodge breakfast offers functional value for budget travellers who need a hot cooked breakfast before an early start. The quality is more variable than Premier Inn — the food depends heavily on how well the specific hotel manages its buffet. At its best, it is a solid budget breakfast. At its worst, the eggs are watery and the bacon is pre-cooked and lukewarm. The £2 saving over Premier Inn buys you a meaningfully less reliable experience. For most stays, we recommend paying the extra £2 for Premier Inn breakfast. If you're purely on a budget, consider whether Greggs from £1.95 or Wetherspoons from £5.99 makes more financial sense nearby.
Travelodge breakfast runs Monday to Friday 6:30am to 10am and Saturday to Sunday 7am to 10am at most UK locations. Unlike Premier Inn, Travelodge does not extend weekend breakfast to 10:30am — the cutoff is 10am every day. Always confirm with your specific hotel when booking.
Travelodge breakfast costs £10.95 for adults (16+) and £8.95 for children under 16 in 2026. Under-3s eat free. It is a fully unlimited hot and cold buffet. Booking breakfast with your room at the time of booking is usually cheaper than paying on arrival.
No — Premier Inn breakfast is consistently better than Travelodge. Premier Inn has more variety in the cold continental section, fresher and more reliably stocked hot items, and a 10:30am weekend finish vs Travelodge's 10am. Premier Inn costs £2 more per adult (£12.99 vs £10.95) but the quality difference is noticeable and worth it for most travellers.
This varies by location and availability. Some Travelodge Bar Cafés are open to the public for breakfast — check with your local Travelodge directly. In most cases, walk-in breakfast is subject to availability and may not always be possible, particularly during busy periods.
