Experience Second Breakfast at Hobbiton Movie Set
To quote a hungry young Hobbit, “What about Second Breakfast?!” Well, there is finally an answer to that age-old question, as Hobbiton Movie Set introduces a new tour experience that is sure to satisfy even the hungriest Hobbits. A long time in the making, the Second Breakfast tour is available from December 20 on select weekends.
Overview of the Second Breakfast Tour
The new three-hour experience begins with a guided tour of the 12-acre filming location on the Alexander family farm in rural Hinuera, near Matamata, on New Zealand’s North Island. This informative tour features anecdotes and stories of how a piece of rural New Zealand was transformed into one of the largest movie sets ever constructed for a major film. Guests will see iconic sites from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies, including:
- Bag End
- Sam’s house
- The double-arch stone bridge
- The Green Dragon Inn
At The Green Dragon Inn, guests can sample specially brewed ale or ginger beer. After the tour, guests are shown to the newly opened Millhouse, a converted mill just across the water, which features a crackling open fire and wooden beam ceilings.
A Scrumptious Hobbit-Style Breakfast
There, guests will indulge in a breakfast spread fit for a Hobbit, set across an open table. This delightful meal consists of:
- Fresh seasonal fruits
- Pastries
- House-made breads
- Cold meats and preserves
A plated hot breakfast, including lamb sausages, scrambled eggs, grilled mushrooms, potatoes, and streaky bacon, will then be served. A special vegetarian breakfast is also available upon request.
“At Hobbiton, we strive to introduce something new every year and continuously improve the experiences we share. The new Second Breakfast Tour is a natural fit for our offerings here at Hobbiton, and it gives our guests a chance to dine in the newly opened Millhouse too. I’ve always believed the movie set is beautiful in the mornings, especially since it was originally designed to capture the morning light during filming,” said Russell Alexander, CEO and Co-Founder of Hobbiton Movie Set.
Moreover, Hobbiton Movie Set has expressed their excitement regarding the overwhelming response to the experience, as the first few Second Breakfast tours have already reached full capacity.
