[Vamps]

We had arranged to meet this evening for our swmbo / fathers day meal out as other things got in the way on Sunday. Swmbo and Miss Vamps and I met after work to go to a Chinese eat what you can buffet type of place, somewhere we have been many times before, Miss Vamps likes the seaweed...

It was closed....

So Plan B, a pub near to where we live, next village, lovely food but bill was near on £45.00  for 3 of us including 3 soft drinks:o

[the alarming man]

seems about right for around here..

You are in the South and I would expect that,  we just wanted ordinary food and chose the wrong pub, in Ripon, North Yorkshire, we can to go Wetherspoons and get fed, with bigger and better including similar drinks for half that, though we could also pay more.....

How many people can afford to eat out at that price on a regular basis? not us..

Went to a pub near us (The Quays, next door to Billing Aquadrome where the Vx fest is held) for Fathers' Day (well, actually ate on the Saturday but that was his present!  ) and for 4 of us it came to £28 exc. drinks. I was pleasantly surprised.

I like liver, but as SWMBO doesn't, we don't get it at home. It has to be cooked right though ....... very easily ruined too.

Steak night at the Cross Keys near us is two for twelve quid. Drinks extra It's very nice too

The nearest two places to me. One is carvery and is 3.99 head except Sunday when I think it 4.99. Second place is restaurant and it cost us £89.00 for 5 of us inc drinks 2 pints stronbow one pint fosters one pint cola one orange juice and one tap water.  Doubt I be going back for awhile.

And no I can't afford that on a regular basis thats for sure.

[cleggy]

I think £15 per plate for good food in an independent pub is about right, or £25 in a good restaurant plus drinks. Mind you it is classed as a treat for us, say once a month
Personally I wouldn't entertain eating in a chain owned place like Harvester, Weatherspoons ,Toby Carvery etc.    

[freecall666]

the place we go to is £12 per person and can eat as meany meals as you want and drink tea coffee soft drink all with meals.

it certainly is a lot more expensive down here seeing all your replies...but cleggy why not weatherspoons etc never ate in any you mention although this time last year i spent most if my time in premier inn(due too work) and due to that was forced to eat 90 % of the time at a table table...which did seem good value...
