American restaurant chain unveils first breakfast menu in UK with dishes from £5
Since then, they've opened dozens more and today they have 49 locations nationwide.
The company went into administration in October 2024 which saw a number of sites shutter, but it has since been purchased by Breal Capital and Calveton (Evolv Collection), with a major relaunch of the brand planned for July 4.
As part of this, the menu is being overhauled both here and across the pond, with TGI Fridays launching its first-ever breakfast offering in the UK, as part of what Simon Wilkinson, board director and operating partner at Evolv and TGI Fridays, described as 'the comeback of all comebacks'.
The new 'Rise and Dine' menu is available now at more than 20 of the chain's restaurants and prices start from £5.
Dishes available include a bacon ciabatta (£5), a Breakfast Melt featuring pulled beef, pulled pork or crushed avocado (from £6.50) and a literal tray of food known as the All-American Slam (£10.95). This beast of a breakfast features pork sausages, bacon, fried eggs, sautéed mushrooms, baked beans, grilled tomato, hash brown bites and toasted ciabatta bread.
Still hungry? Another new dish boasts an 8oz steak, mushrooms, grilled tomato, a fried egg and hash brown bites for £14.95.
And for those who prefer something a little sweeter, there's also a triple stack of pancakes topped with Oreo crumble and vanilla ice cream (£8) or the Big New Yorker (£9) which sees pancakes topped with maple glazed bacon, crispy chicken strips, a fried egg and maple syrup.
Vegetarian options will be available too, incluidng The Garden State Slam (£10.95) made with plant-based chicken, smashed avocado, Cajun-spiced corn chips, fried eggs, hash brown bites and toasted ciabatta. More Trending
And there's a Hash Brown Stack (£7) where the bites are loaded up with melted cheese, pink pickled onions and a fried egg before being drizzled in a maple siracha dressing. Those who fancy it can also add BBQ pulled pork or maple glazed bacon too.
No menu change would be complete without a few new drinks, which TGI Fridays are calling 'Sunrise sips'. These beverages are available in the morning for £5.73 each and include the Gold Medalist (banana, strawberry, pineapple and grenadine), Fresh as Cucumber (cucumber, lemon, elderflower, cranberry and soda water) and Minty Apple Soda (apple, vanilla, mint and soda water).
A selection of fresh apple, cranberry, orange or pineapple juice is also available for £4 each.

The US President teed off his five-day visit with a round at his Turnberry resort, accompanied by a massive security team.

Angry campaigners waved creative signs in Aberdeen and Edinburgh as the American leader enjoyed a round of golf at his luxury Ayrshire resort. But this didn't get the leader of the free world down as he breezed past them while listening to Billy Ocean's 1983 hit Uptown Girl. Also on President Trump's playlist was Memory from the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Cats, All Out of Love by Air Supply, Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers and Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel. Today, the US leader will meet the president of the European Commission as work gets underway on a five-day visit to Scotland. The US President flew into the country on Friday night and was then seen playing golf at his Trump Turnberry resort the following day. However, on Sunday, he will meet European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen for talks on the trading relationship between Europe and the US. The talks come ahead of discussions with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer on Monday, which are also expected to focus on trade issues. The UK and the US struck a trade deal recently, with discussions between the two men expected to focus on this, with reports suggesting Sir Keir will be looking for the US to cut the tariffs for British steel. The start of discussions show the US President getting down to business on what is a private, five-day visit to Scotland. Donald Trump touches down in Scotland On Saturday, he was spotted playing a round at the Turnberry course, which he purchased in 2014. A massive security operation was in place as the President played golf. He drove his own buggy, but a heavy security presence saw Mr Trump flanked by a fleet of similar vehicles. Even before he took to the course, police officers and military personnel could be seen searching the area around the resort, which has had a metal fence erected around it as part of heightened security measures. 5 President Trump blasted out Billy Joel's much-loved hit Uptown Girl Credit: Getty 5 The US President donned a black top with a white USA cap Credit: AFP No protesters were seen while he was playing on Saturday, but hundreds of people gathered in both Edinburgh and Aberdeen for demonstrations against his visit, organised by the Stop Trump Coalition. Police Scotland said that no arrests were made but a 50-year-old woman was given a recorded police warning in Edinburgh. After spending some time at his South Ayrshire resort, the President will head to Aberdeenshire, where he is expected to open a second course at his Trump International golf resort in Balmedie. During his time in the north east, Mr Trump is also due to meet Scottish First Minister John Swinney. Speaking ahead of the talks, Mr Swinney said it was his responsibility to "raise global and humanitarian issues of significant importance, including the unimaginable suffering we are witnessing in Gaza" with the President. Saying he wanted to "ensure Scotland's voice is heard at the highest levels of government across the world" Mr Swinney added: "That is exactly what I will do when I meet with President Trump during his time in Scotland." Mr Swinney announced that he met Ms von der Leyen on Saturday evening in Glasgow and discussed the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. Mr Swinney said: "I was pleased to welcome the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, to Scotland. "During our meeting, I outlined Scotland's continued support for the European Union's leadership in demanding free and safe humanitarian aid in Gaza, alongside efforts to bring an end to the unbearable suffering unfolding. "I also took the opportunity to reiterate Scotland's steadfast commitment to Ukraine and the country's commitment to work with European partners on key issues, including energy."

Trump to hold trade talks with European Commission president as his Scotland visit continues
Donald Trump will meet the president of the European Commission on Sunday for trade talks as work gets under way on his five-day visit to Scotland. The US President arrived on Friday night and was then seen playing golf at his Trump Turnberry resort the following day. On Sunday he will meet European Commission Ursula von der Leyen for talks on the trading relationship between Europe and the US. It comes as both sides seek an agreement on tariff rates now that the White House's deadline to impose stiff tariff rates is looming. Leaving the White House on Friday, Trump said 'we have a 50-50 chance, maybe less than that, but a 50-50 chance of making a deal with the EU.' He said the deal would have to 'buy down' the currently scheduled tariff rate of 30% on the bloc of 27 member states. Later, von der Leyen posted on X that, 'Following a good call' with Trump, the pair had 'agreed to meet in Scotland on Sunday to discuss transatlantic trade relations, and how we can keep them strong.' The US and EU seemed close to reaching a deal earlier this month, but Trump instead threatened a 30% tariff rate on the bloc of nations. However, Trump's original deadline for beginning such tariffs has already passed, and is now delayed until at least Friday. Without an EU deal, the bloc said it was prepared to retaliate with tariffs on hundreds of American products, ranging from beef and auto parts to beer and Boeing airplanes. The talks come ahead of discussions with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer on Monday, which are also expected to focus on the issue of trade. The UK and the US struck a trade deal recently, with discussions between the two men expected to focus on this – with reports suggesting Starmer will be looking for the US to cut the tariffs for British steel. Trump is also due to meet Scottish First Minister John Swinney. Speaking ahead of the talks, Swinney said it was his responsibility to 'raise global and humanitarian issues of significant importance, including the unimaginable suffering we are witnessing in Gaza' with the President. Saying he wanted to 'ensure Scotland's voice is heard at the highest levels of government across the world', Swinney added: 'That is exactly what I will do when I meet with President Trump during his time in Scotland.' On Tuesday, he'll be in Aberdeen, in northeast Scotland, where his family has another golf course and is opening a third next month. Trump and his son Eric are planning to help cut the ribbon on the new course, where public tee times starting in August are already on offer. On Saturday he was spotted playing a round at the famous Turnberry course, which he purchased back in 2014. A massive security operation was in place as the president played golf on the course. He drove his own golf buggy, but a heavy security presence saw Trump flanked by a fleet of similar vehicles. Even before he took to the course, police officers and military personnel could be seen searching the area around the Trump Turnberry resort – which has had a metal fence erected around it as part of heightened security measures. No protesters were seen while he was golfing on Saturday – but hundreds of people gathered in both Edinburgh and Aberdeen for demonstrations against his visit organised by the Stop Trump Coalition.
