Even doners from the market and previously inexpensive restaurants have gone annoyingly up in the last two years or so.Yeah, we happened to be in town over lunchtime and popped into a cafe for a light lunch - Mrs had a starter as a main with a cocktail while I had a simple main and a drink. £65 before tip. That's not value to me ... other than not having to cook. If I was on my own, it would have been a Doner from the market for a fiver but Mrs isn't a scruff
....same here which makes price increases less palatable.They've also gone down quality-wise.
If you're short on time most of the time, perhaps slow cookers or sous vide might help.I used to eat out or have delivery most of the time, I had a long commute and didn't have much time before I was due to go to bed. I had 160 takeaways and restaurants to choose from. Now I have moved, I have around 20. Only 2 have a reasonable delivery fee. I am now cooking at home, although I am on my second pack of steak burgers lol. Coincidentally the village pub charges 16.00 for a steak burger and chips, at home it's 3.00...
I have a lot of time now. Previously I would get up at 5.45am and arrive home around 6.30 to 7pm. And want to be in bed by 9.30/10pm.If you're short on time most of the time, perhaps slow cookers or sous vide might help.
I have just enough time that I don't need them usually (and kitchen space is somewhat contended), but I do often cook one pot meals (generally meat, rice or barley flakes and veggies) because I both like them and they save time.
With some bars charging £8 a pint now, I'm certainly drinking a lot less.
Did the main arrive before the starter?I'm not adding anything new here, but was in York last week to see Frank Skinner with me mate. Went into waggamammas for something to eat first, appetiser, main and a pint... £30.
Oddly enough, around the same timeDid the main arrive before the starter?
