No one likes red cabbage

yep... he only did it a few times before I pointed out he was killing the toaster.

 

[jimbarkanoodle]

two of the most inexcusable yet so ridiculously easily avoidable faux pas when it comes to roasts in pubs restaurants are- small portions and shit watery gravy.

why would you serve a small roast and/or serve it with shit gravy? it really puts me off eating roasts out of the home, as they are almost always a disappointment, and at a hefty price.

 

[robsean]

profit maximisation?

 

[jimbarkanoodle]

basically, no. it doesn't cost more to make decent gravy. I can understand smaller portions will cost slightly less per serving but what's the point of it puts people off? Toby Carvery's etc are big successful chains for a reason.

I don't even care if the meat is a bit tough or whatever, as long as there is shit loads of it.

There used to be great roasts at a good price at Ivan's Retreat. I forget how much they were but the second one was heavily discounted. I liked that bar.

I think we need to move away from food before Nanker blows a gasket

You can remind people yes. And???

 

[friendofdorothy]

yes, as you said yourself:

Waltham where???! How dare you talk of a North London establishment here.

So far I've learned that (should I ever be able to afford to eat out ever again) that there's no chance of a decent roast dinner in HH.

My place is right here, on the Herne Hill / Brixton borders!

no need to grant it - we've already taken it.

It's closed. Dead. Gone. So it isn't anywhere really.

It's all Brixton innit

 

[friendofdorothy]

Anyone know if any pubs here abouts are showing the Villa - West Brom game today?

 

[brixtonblade]

Realise this is too late but hootenanny usually have games on and effra social have things on in front room now too

I know, as might the Regent. buscador is hobbling on a crutch in an undignified manner, having twisted her ankle last week, so didn't want to hop out just on the off chance. She's watching it at home = less sociable/beer for me.

 

[brixtonblade]

Regent is a bit hit and miss for sport on TV and no commentary
Effra social front room is quite cozy and beer is good and if they're not showing and you don't mind hooters then it's a fairly safe trip to watch it at one of them
