Had anyone ever had Sunday Roast at the Albert? I can't see it bring a gourmet winner but it does offer UNLIMITED roast potatoes and gravy.
Is this "unlimited" in the same sense that broadband connections are "unlimited"? Are the potatoes subject to a fair usage policy? If too many people are having the roast at the same time do they throttle back the gravy without telling anyone?
 
Those frozen roast potatoes that you can buy are spot on, imo.

Frozen veg is less good.
 
You can heat up frozen spuds/veg at home. Why pay over the odds to get someone else to it in a shitty pub?
Why eat out at all? Why go to the pub when you drink cans at home? Why go to a club when you can turn the music up, take drugs and dance around your own room?

Indeed.
Though I don't mind paying someone else to cook, I think it's bonkers to pay someone to merely heat something up! You pay for the chef's talent, not just for them to pour something on a tray and bang it in the oven

So you never buy a bag of chips when you're out then?

Depends what you eat and where, obviously. There is nothing wrong with paying someone else to "pour something on a tray and bang it in the oven" if that's what you fancy at the time.

Not very often, no. And never in a pub. I tend to avoid standard pub food as I think it's a waste of money. If I can do a better job at home, I'm not interested generally.

Their veggie burgers and chips are nice though.

I am quick taken with the £4.99 sandwich, baguette or wrap deal. Comes with a a drink, chips and a suggestion of salad. Quite nice actually, especially if you price the pint at least £3.00. Harder to get wrong than a Sunday Roast too.

Do you brew your own beer using kit you made yourself in a cave?
 
So you people would rather pay £7 to sit in a pub and eat an Iceland frozen dinner, than sit at home and make your own lovely roast dinner or pay £3 do have what you'd have in the pub? Mentalists!

See post #39.

You know what I think about beer. I'm talking about the absolute insanity of paying probably over twice what you'd pay for a frozen roast dinner just cos it's not in your house. It's so weird.

You can make a roast beef dinner for £3? Fair play to you on that. Some people like a social environment, some even order pizzas to their houses. Me, I buy music even though I should write, record and listen to my own work.

But the roast looks rather too errr grey for my personal tastes :D

They would possibly do better just advertising unlimited roast potatoes and gravy for the same price :D
 
I'd rather spend £12 on a delicious roast dinner in a pub than more than £12 on a mediocre roast dinner cooked by me at home.

You can from Iceland if that pleases you

I'd rather stick screwdrivers in my ears than do that. OU probably thinks everyone should stick scredrivers in their eyes too- no more expensive outlay buying any kind of recorded film or music. No more phone bills. No TV licence. No TV.
