Eagle-eyed soap fans spot HUGE difference between cost of breakfast in Coronation Street and EastEnders’ iconic cafes
CORONATION Street characters are weathering the cost-of-living crisis better than EastEnders.
Viewers can see café prices on chalkboards in both soaps.
They show Corrie’s Roy’s Rolls, run by Roy Cropper, offers an English breakfast and cuppa for £6.50.
Kathy Beale’s café in Walford charges £8.40.
Kathy, played by Gillian Taylforth, has two deals — cake and coffee for £4, and a bacon or sausage sandwich plus coffee for £6.
But for the latter price, Corrie stalwarts such as Steve McDonald can get two £2.75 portions of curry and rice — and still have 50p change.

A TV source said: “Roy looks after his customers better in these hard times.”
Kathy’s Cafe does offer some value on sandwiches.
A ham salad roll is £2.75, 45p cheaper than Roy’s, and tuna mayo is 70p less.
Kathy is also greener — her customers get 5p off hot drinks in reusable cups.
