We live in central london and enjoy eating out periodically. Mostly lunchtimes so we can take the children. Nothing fancy - just local places. But money is tight and I feel guitly when we do eat out.
I realised the other day at the Gourmet Burger place (is that the name?), that we could have managed with one less portion of chips between us, and that I could have managed to have water and not a coke. The burgers themselves were good value, but the extras were pricey.
So, what are your top tips for keeping the bill down but still managing to eat out (no fast food places please!)
