For me either a seafood risotto or a good quality steak with chips and mushrooms.

A chef with a very good memory.

AnyFucker · 03/03/2021 19:00

An excellent steak.

Evenstar · 03/03/2021 19:01

Steak and chips with a lettuce wedge salad from Miller and Carter

Nancylovesthecock · 03/03/2021 19:02

Someone else to do the fucking washing up!

Paul72 · 03/03/2021 19:03

Just being served nice food and wine. We're vegetarian so choose where we go but we just enjoy having food cooked for us and served to us and no washing up.

A well mixed cocktail.

GnomeOrMistAndIceGuy · 03/03/2021 19:04

Place near me does THE most amazing pan fried garlic prawn starter, so that, followed by the lamb rump main with black pudding mash and gorgeous buttery greens, then strawberry and granola panna cotta, washed down with a bottle of dark red wine.
I. Cannot. Fucking. Wait.

Decent service and good food which should be easy, but I fear neither will have improved.

ineedaholidayandwine · 03/03/2021 19:05

Chicken hanging kebab from The Botanist with chilli chips

champagneplanet · 03/03/2021 19:05

@Nancylovesthecock my thoughts exactly!!

24butfeeling80 · 03/03/2021 19:05

A calamari starter, with either a really good steak and salad - or a lamb shank on a bed of mash with a red wine jus.

Goddddd mmmm

GnomeOrMistAndIceGuy · 03/03/2021 19:06

Ohhhh wait, I forgot the other starter that's so good there. It's a beetroot cured salmon thing with picket beetroot ribbons and goats cheese mousse. I have missed this place so so much.

I can see you’ve given zero thought into this 😂 Love it!

To be honest, we all will wish to be first on the waiting list. I expect some people will multi book tables over several nights to fill their boots.

This!

A day of not having to think about and cook food.

There’s a lovely vegetarian bistro near us that hasn’t been open since first lockdown as the layout meant social distancing was totally unfeasible. Gutted as good restaurants are in short supply round here.

MozzchopsThirty · 03/03/2021 19:08

WAGAMAMA 😋😋😋

Chilli squid
Ebi katsu
Pad Thai
White chocolate and ginger cheesecake or banana katsu

Washed down with several pints of Asahi

I'm looking forward to going to a Vietnamese place in dalston, they do the best salt and pepper tofu.

Also love the food at this Turkish place near work, they give you this smoky bread and this roasted onion sauce and it's amazing.

Lol! A big part of it is that my DP is a VERY picky eater with several medical issues related to digestion - he is very apologetic of this and always appreciative when I cook for him. But when we go to this place he devours EVERYTHING and it's really good to see him so full and happy! :D

StanfordPines · 03/03/2021 19:10

Anything that I haven’t had to think about, buy and cook.

chocoholic2021 · 03/03/2021 19:11

@GnomeOrMistAndIceGuy really hoping you both get to enjoy a wonderful meal together sooner rather than later.

It's Tsiknopempti tomorrow - I'm craving the souvla!

missbridgerton · 03/03/2021 19:11

I can't wait to not have to look inside the fridge and think WTF can I make tonight. The fact that someone else will cook it, clear it away and wash it up - BLISS!!!

Donotfeedthebears · 03/03/2021 19:25

I’m getting this from Pizza Express this weekend via collection....
