Delicious, fish platter, chips and a bottle of Riesling and you're sorted.

Let us know on Sunday how that went.
Think I never get out either, but when you try something different it's not worth the hassle.

Have seen kids in Lemon & Duke, if that's the sort of place you're thinking.

Feck that - that’s tipping the piss 

Plenty of menus nothing takes your fancy on a starter / dessert 

If someone said i would have to eat 3 dishes i would get up and walk out . I recall the times of the Celtic Tiger when places charged for veg , i never went back to those places .

Reminds me of the night of Robbie Bradys goal in Lille and you had to leave the hotel while everyone else was having a great laugh knocking back drinks as yours was the only room that got bed bugs or something.   To this day I still think the strange package the  Scientist brought from Australia and dumped in your room was behind it 😀😀😀😀

OK Baldie they were flying cockroaches huge things and we were had the only room which had 100s of them , i recall Mick had to get a spray to kiil a few of them in his room also , ask him on that one . 

Yeah the clown let a few of them out in his own room before he dumped 100s of them into yours.  😀😀😀

When pranks go wrong.  😀😀😀

Can understand if tapas

Some of them are €3.50/4 though. They walk you through it well, felt it was good value when we went.

Was in The Pig's Ear on Nassau Street the week before last with work. Menu seemed pretty "normal" for a place that was on the Michelin list but the food was good and didn't find it to expensive at 55 euro for 2 courses.

Which one you go to? Did the Spitalfields one and couldn't speak higher of it. 700 gram Chateaubriand to share was probably the best steak I've ever had. The anchovie hollandaise is out of this world. Couple of nice bottles of red and more than a couple hundred quid down but absolutely brilliant.

The one near Piccadilly Circus - had to cut short a holiday for a  for a Project interview so it was on the company - didnt like anything about it TBH and was peeved when i checked and Sophies was open albeit the next time I was in Sophies it was dissapointing and not  patch on what it used to be 

It was a few years ago and during covid so maybe its got better
