Hotel Invents Plate Which Keeps Beans & Other Foods Separate

Dec 6 2023

Premier Inn, a hotel chain, has introduced a unique concept, the “bean barrier,” as the ultimate solution to prevent food items from touching on an English breakfast plate.

Research indicated that 20% of diners dislike runny components of the dish touching others. The concept plate features a crescent-shaped “bean barrier” to keep elements separate.

The study of 2,076 adults revealed that preferences for maintaining separation include egg yolk (63%), baked beans (60%), and tomatoes (39%).

Some individuals even use sausages as a physical barrier or avoid “wet” food components altogether. Ollie Bloomfield, in charge of breakfast at Premier Inn’s largest UK hotel, emphasised the importance of breakfast and the need to respect individual preferences.

The survey also found that 33% plan to have a full English breakfast on English Breakfast Day, with 79% expressing fondness for the traditional morning meal, featuring eggs, sausages, and bacon.

Premier Inn believes the concept plate, while currently just an idea, could enhance guests’ breakfast experiences, offering a solution to achieve perfect flavour combinations.
