Coffee Breakfast

The English breakfast is a constantly recurring theme in British popular culture, but never before has a movie been named after our national dish and we are pleased to bring you news of the very first together with an exclusive interview.

The movie is called 'Full English Breakfast', is written and directed by Manish Patel, with Dave Courtney in the lead role, playing the part of Dave Bishop, one of the most murderous gangsters ever depicted on film.

Dave Courtney is a high profile British celebrity gangster (ex-gangster, now retired from a life of crime), the author of six books, the in sir pia ti on for Vinnie Jones character in the movie 'Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' and famously was the Head of Security at the funeral of the notorious gangster Ronnie Kray.

We got a chance to interview Dave Courtney, writer/director Manish Patel and producer/cinematographer Ralph Stewart, we asked them questions about the movie, the theme and their love of the full English breakfast .

We were also lucky enough to get some exclusive screenshots of the movie that have never been seen before !

Can you tell us how popular the English breakfast is in the British criminal underworld ?

Dave Courtney : One thing about English gangsters is the fact that they love their country and its native cuisine.

I know geezers on the run overseas who pay top dollar for their favourite English breakfast (from their favourite cafe) to be flown out to them. I have personally known a villain who has flown his favourite grill chef overseas to cook his favourite grub! The chef gets a holiday and the villain gets his beloved English breakfast every day for a couple of weeks!

The English breakfast is the number one choice for the British underworld AND the police force. You need a full stomach before a hard days graft and the English breakfast works both sides of the law!
