The Copper Kettle is an industrial estate cafe in Ellistown, near Coalville, and its 666 Devil's Breakfast is one of the toughest fry ups in the Midlands. It's around 3.5kg of breakfast across two huge plates, and you've got an hour. It went unbeaten through more than sixty attempts before it was finally cracked, and the cafe still posts new challengers having a go in 2026.
What you'll be eating
Two huge plates of breakfast, around 3.5kg in all: sausages, bacon, fried eggs, beans, mushrooms, hash browns, black pudding, buttered bread and fried bread.
What you win
Finish within the hour and the £25 breakfast is free.
Strategy tips
The cafe opens early (from 6am on Fridays and Saturdays), so you can take this on with an empty stomach. Work through one plate before touching the second.
