add remove

Once you've decided where you’re going to host your breakfast and invited your guests, you just need to decide what your breakfast menu will be. Whether you're hosting at home or work, you can make breakfast as simple or as elaborate as you wish – from toast and a cup of tea to croissants and pastries from your local bakery, anything goes! Some hosts even work with local cafes to host their Brilliant Breakfast, particularly if there are lots of guests attending.  

For any guests that you invite and are unable to make it on the day, it’s worth sharing your online page with them as they may still want to support you by donating.

Will I receive a pack?
