    That's because it was.

    Correct,it's a Greene King pub, the beers crap so it appears is the food.

    They do seven quid roast dinners. Catering trade rule of thumb is to charge about triple the raw material cost, aiming for 60-70% GP. That's why a good bit of steak is around £15 in a decent restaurant. Given that Brake Bros or whoever have been involved before the pub microwaves it we're talking a couple of quid for the meat, veg and gravy at the most. That's hospital/school/prison quality food. Her turkey meal was really just a granded-up roast dinner involving even cheaper meat of doubtful provenance.

    £1.99 from Iceland is a fair assessment.

    Random is the word.
    I vaguely planned to go to Sheffield 03-04Jan and booked cheapy-cheaps on megatrain. I have now changed to a Friday day-trip only.
    If anyone wants to use up to 4 London-Sheffield tickets Thurs 03Jan (1x 08:55 arr 11:02, and/or 3x 09:25 arr 11:52), drop me a line and I can let you have the trainrefs or .pdf. Return options that day (19:27) currently available from megatrain at £10/£25/£40 for 1/2/or 3 pax.
