June 8, 20233 yr A nice long walk upon the valley hills and a BBQ later. I love this weather and it’s looking like it’s here for a while longer yet. 😎😎

June 8, 20233 yr If your order is taken at your table by a waiter and you don’t have to go to a counter, it’s a restaurant. anything else is fast food. Nando’s. For example.
June 8, 20233 yr You lot have lost your marbles - being a resturant doesn't not make it 'fast food' hence the term Fast Food Resturant. Its food that when ordered (even sat down) can be prepared (or is pre-perpared and served quickly and is associated with food that is typically less nutritous. No dictionary definition would even mention counters I wouldn't have thought. And I have many pointless dicussions on here but this is right up there 😁

For example. Nando’s is a slight grey area because the food is delivered to your table. Five Guys satisfies neither of those criteria.

June 8, 20233 yr 5 minutes ago, gonzo said: If they're eating inside it can still be fast food thats my point. Ex-bloody-actly. Counter or no. Now Self Service Resturants - fast food (or just a place for scutters?)

The point is a fast food restaurant isn't defined by a counter.

I know, I acknowledged that twice about the counter I just want fast food to be brought to me by a waiter one day, I'd feel like a king, if only for a moment

Always liked their pizza's for the price and the kids love em.

Cheap enough, I'll give you that, but the beer & wine weren't great. As an aside, I don't mind mooching around Waterloo, some decent places to eat/drink and a belting kebab shop if you're that way inclined.

Aye its not bad - the graffitti tunnels, walking through to The Cut - always nice in summer.
