How much is this roast dinner?

[EachandEveryone]

I mean it was lovely but I always come away thinking I can make bigger and better myself. I want to be stuffed full 😀

It actually looks nicely cooked and maybe the gravy is made using meat juices rather than gravy mix. However it is small. I always find pub/restaurant roast dinners disappointing - too much pre cooking and reheating.

Does the brown sauce touch the gravy?
What happens if it gets in with the gravy and mixes???

Oh God.

Are you in forensics by any chance 😁

Apparently a roast dinner at Tom Kitchen's posh pub is £145....

I think it's The Kings Head in Horbury. It's a bit too far for me as I'd want a pint or two with it, and then need taxis each way which would cancel out any savings...

I’m no under eater, but that’s a large portion op. I think it’s unreasonable to want even more. But fair enough if you do, we all eat different amounts, but I think a carvery would be better, as otherwise plated portions will be that size or smaller in general.

Northerner here and I have never heard of such thing - talk about sabotaging a meal

I'd be pretty gutted if I went out for a roast and this was it! It looks very bland and uninspiring. I'd resent paying anything for it tbh but would expect it to be about £15 - more around London probably.

£19 here

It’s a good portion of meat, and a nice Yorkie, but I like a better range of veg than that. I like cooking Sunday roast, though.

It's a large portion of meat, granted. But some of us - myself included - would prefer less meat and a better selection of vegetables, cooked in different ways. And much thicker and more plentiful gravy.

It isn't Sunday lunch without brown sauce, has to be HP though.

Gravy wasn't included for that alone it was a rip off

Gravy looks very thin 😦I would expect it to be included in the price.

And no, brown sauce does not belong on a roast.

I thought she said it was £1.50 for EXTRA gravy so I reckon the gravy on the plate was included. Might be wrong though! However the gravy looks watery as fuck 😂

It looks shite and the gravy is watery

@LeftyLou Cauliflower cheese with a roast dinner 🤮what is the world coming to?

It looks shut, sorry op. The gravy looks watery.

This is why I rarely eat out. I can make a huge and tasty roast dinner for the whole family for probably less than £10.

We rarely go anywhere for a roast because I really resent paying high prices for what's usually a poor version of what we'd have at home. Watery gravy, overcooked peas and stingy portions for £20, no thank you.

The only place I actually don't mind going is Toby Carvery - because whilst it's not exactly spectacular, it's usually a good bit better than your £20 pub version and they have decent, thick gravy. It's also cheap as chips and the kids can keep going back for more so I consider it decent value.

£19? Bit of a rip-off for what you got there.

I don't like going out for Sunday lunch all that much any more (unless it is a help-yourself carvery with a huge variety), because I know what I could create for a heck of a lot less money. It takes all the enjoyment away.

That gravy looks piss poor

Where are the potatoes and the rice? I'd be disappointed.

We had a roast beef last night (I know, who has a roast on a Saturday??!!). It was delicious, there were seconds (and thirds if needed) and the whole thing came in at less than ten pounds for 8 of us - thank you friend who buys meat cheaply through work.

I'm almost always disappointed in Sunday lunch out, unless you spend £££. I'm a decent cook and usually think I can do better.
That looks restaurant rather than pub, I'd say £25 just 6 one course

Rice?

This OP! Geordie's don't do that
