Worst meal I’ve had in years at the one @ Cheadle Royal the other month. F&B the same, Chiquito slightly better but still garbage. Wagamama and Nando’s are very good at what they do, same with KFC. not had a better katzu than the waga one and their vegan range is brilliant. No point comparing KFC and Nando’s cos they’re different types of chicken restaurant... F&B is dirt. Only been to TGIs twice..it’s a gloried McDonald’s but both times was fine for me. I do like Wagmamas and agree their katsu is ace. Not a big fast food fan but I’d choose KFC over most other stuff to be honest. I like a bit of Southern fried chicken. Quote
ErnestTurnip Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 Ran out of ale at tea time yesterday, second time that's happened since being in isolation and so they've had a vote at our house and decided I'm no longer fit to be head of the house - early exit polls suggest the youngest daughter is favourite to get the nod.

We go in pre match for drinks but it’s proper expensive, like Traf says. Used to go in F & B for the pre match pint but Waga’s don’t do draught. If FV got the beer offering sorted, they’d get lots of love. 😃 Quote

C2C always has somewhere available, but beer is dearer than liquid gold. Quote

Boby Brno Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 Can’t comment on their prematch service but the only place I’ve been to in the last 5 years on Middlebrook is Lucianos. Great food and service. Quote

To discussing shit eateries of middlebrook? Perhaps in amongst the shitness of all the food outlets (none seem to get a great appraisal), there will luck an antidote to this evil virus. Can it survive on a heavily "garliced" surface? Quote

Spider Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 Boredom is more likely to make society crumble than anything else. I've just made a spreadsheet detailing all the food we have so I can decide on recipes for the week ahead. Quote

I'd prefer to put money into the club, but the hotel can't cater for the numbers adequately. Downside of C2C is that the beer is even more expensive than the hotel. C2C sell Blue moon (I know I know) on draft it’s lovely Quote
Not in Crawley Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 Just ordered tea from here - 50% off with Uber Eats - looks proper dirty but ace https://www.germandonerkebab.com Apparently loads of these round the country now. Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 Just had home made pizza; used some semolina powder in the mix and on the surface just before cooking. Tremendous! At least people might have a bit more time to prepare stuff. Quote

But when they charge a quid more than it should be, it just doesn’t taste the same as it slips down my throat. 🍺 Quote
