£100 for a casual lunch out for 4 is too much

[GrealishGoddess]

Deeply middle class problem but. Anyone else noticed that you can no longer get out of the likes of Bill’s, Wagamama, Pizza Express, etc , with two teens, for less than £100. Is this just inflation, NI effects, price gouging, what? AIBU to stay home?

Yeah see my parents wouldn’t have liked a pizza restaurant. Had an occasional cake in BHS if out shopping with DM

I have endo so I permanently look like a balloon anyway! No issues with food though
I just have meat, veg and all the Yorkshires and no potatoes

Why should our child hood have any bearing on how we choose to live our adult lives

Not saying it would just how things have changed and how eating out has become regular and not a treat anymore.

Pizza Exoress has been expensive and mediocre for years! We used Tesco vouchers when we went as a family.

Went last year to PE and it was poor. It was so cold in there and when I asked if air con could go off the waitress said I could keep my coat on if I liked….

It shouldn’t but the point is eating out is still a luxury. It’s not a necessity is it?

I disagree, especially if it’s a romana pizza.

Well I don’t know what to tell you, that’s what we get and we leave full 😂

No wonder there’s an obesity crisis in this county, the pizza with the whole in the middle filled with rocket is plenty for a family of four. Plus the leftovers are enough for lunch the next day.

Yes that middle bit of salad stuff is massive!

Yes, those rocket leaves are soo filling!!!

I can easily eat a whole pizza when I go out for a meal and am hungry (and my bmi is about 19)

We get one order of dough balls between the four of us; does us for the week.

It still doesn't answer my question re who decided that eating out "should" be once a year event :)

The leggera pizza with the hole in the middle with some rocket in it, you’re suggesting that feed family of 4 and generate left overs for next day lol

its a @500calorie Pizza with a hole in the middle, essential pizza crust with leaves, it’s intended as diet pizza for 1 person not a hearty meal for 4 with left over next day too

Classic mn competitive under eating

Yes I like the hole as my leftovers.

I feel full up just thinking about that.

😆😆😆😆

Those who would rather save their money!

Only a week
You absolute gluttons. No wonder there is an obesity crisis in this country
my man is a 6feet 6inch hurling player and he couldn’t manage shared dough ball

Classic MN not understanding the joke....

I can’t believe you think it’s for one person, , it’s massive and the salad is even more massive than a classic mumsnet massive salad.

oh apologies if I got it wrong, in my defence, there’s a slew of under eating boasts. 4 Adults sharing pizza, adults eating kids menu and feeling full. It’s a fairly usual mn under eating comment

@Florally personally I’m with you on this and am 13stone 6 and not usually a small water ( although been on 1200 cals a day for last 5 months) - between 2 of us ( 13 stone husband) I would get a Romano , a full size salad and maybe some dough balls and that would be plenty

is this a funny gag,or serious?
I have lost the Ability to differentiate. There’s a slew of under eating boasts on the thread including adult eating the huuuge kid menu.
I am so accustomed to mn under eating brags
