How much would you expect this meal to cost?

I'm not sure if I'm a bit unrealistic with my expectation here so I thought I'd see what wise Mumsnetters think!

We had a meal out at popular chain Italian restaurant. We ordered:

4 x main meals (3 x pizzas and 1 x pasta dish)
1 x meal from child menu (pasta dish)
4 x soft drinks (3 x Coca Cola, 1 x Sprite)

No starters, no desserts, no alcoholic drinks.

What would you roughly expect the total of the bill to be? (Not London if that makes a difference?!)

Over £100, for sure, but depends on the chain - they do vary in quality/price.

Beeday · 05/05/2022 22:57

If no discounts/vouchers etc (chain place prices seem to be inflated to make room for all the discounts they offer) I'd expect to pay about £60-£70 for that.

LubaLuca · 05/05/2022 22:58

I think about £70-£80.
