How Often

[TWR]

do you either go with your Wife / G.F / Family for a meal out? we go fairly often to a lot of places in and around our area, apart from my wife's favourite Pie & mushy peas we go for various dishes, have you found the Quantity going down with the likes of steaks about the size of a bacon Rasher? the best place we have found for Quality, service, price is a place called ( I hope I'm allowed to say this) Sycamore Farm, nr Burnley, have you found the same?

[Zacs-Master]

2/3 times a month. No. no.

[Baldric]

At least once a week with one or the other. No problems with portion sizes here.

[anneasquith]

" one or the other"" never at the same time ? LOL

[cupid04]

Balders, you have a wife and a girlfriend???

[Sqad]

Wife......never
Family....never
G.F.....once a week, the portions are the same but the quality is deteriorating as is the satisfaction. The service also varies from excellent to "not worth the effort."

[TWR]

has anyone got a tale regards the food in a restaurants / prices?

//the portions are the same but the quality is deteriorating as is the satisfaction//
is that a euphemism re the girlfriend?

[Sqad]

ael.......;-)

[anneasquith]

Sqad. How often does your wife dine with her boyfriend ?

[Sqad]

anne.......whenever she feels the "hunger pains."

I eat out quite frequently. I find too often that portions are oversized, to the point that it is not unusual for me to order two starters, the second being my main course with a side dish.

Steaks are sold by weight so I'd be surprised if you feel they are shrinking.

[Islay]

I eat out at least twice a week, we live within spitting distance of an excellent restaurant and bar, the portions are just right as is the price, quality is never an issue.

Every couple of months with family. I find it a chore. The only places I really like tend to be Thai or Indian.

[Baldric]

I do like a good Indian.

[paddywak]

We eat out most Sundays,usually a carvery in one of the local pubs, there are eight or nine we use in rotation the quality and portions are excellant,as are the prices.

[ummmm]

hardly ever.

Although just had breakfast at the hotel up the road (up the road is about 4 miles away)

Hi TWR, once a week usually, just back from shopping and had a 'Manchester fry up' in the Abel Heywood .. very nice it was too!

[Tilly2]

Generally once a month with Mr T but I do meet friends for lunch at least once a week.

I meet up with my girlfriends every couple of months as we have to save for our lunches in the West End. We have our fave places and costs £40/50 each.
We mostly like the Chinese restaurants in Bayswater.
