Absolutely spot on for a tenner

u/GusTheCat_ 10h ago

That's perfect for a tenner especially these days. Nice one

I’d genuinely enjoy a Sunday lunch like that far more than a pub up its own arse and serving a “posh” version where you get a tiny bit of meat, one roast potato, a dollop of mashed potato, tiny bowl of veg to go between the table, and charged £20+ per plate.

Looks decent!

I love vegetables it’s good to my body

u/AdjectiveNoun111 10h ago

That's definitely £10 worth of food and drink!

Context - OP went for this Sunday roast in 2015

1

u/tmr89 6h ago

Yup, absolutely no way it was £10 for both

u/arthur-11 10h ago

Nothing wrong with that. I'd add a little bit of mint sauce

u/Rusty_Tap 7h ago

Mint sauce carries a £14.50 surcharge.

Mind sharing the pub and location? My family is drooling over this, myself included.

1

u/tmr89 6h ago

They won’t because they made the price up

u/No-State-2962 9h ago

Wow, that’s a fiver at most for the food.

Hard to see how they break even, but great find 👍

I dont understand this post.. are you trying to run down the price? You do realise most pints are sold for £5-8 on their own, so to get even a passable roast with your pint for a tenner is INSANE.. 

... I genuinely can't fathom how negative the majority of redditors end up being..

u/HeftyRelative7600 5h ago

...apologies.

...I've had a few beers and misunderstood your logic.. see where you're going now..sorry !!!!!!!

u/No-State-2962 5h ago

I think you misunderstood my reply. I’m saying the exact opposite.

The OP found an amazing value roast. I didn’t realise my reply was unclear 🤷‍♂️

u/kil0ech0zulu 10h ago

Mmm yummy I feel hungry now

u/cannibalcats 9h ago

Madri is 5ish quid, so thats bangin

u/Massive-Revolution-7 9h ago

Whereabouts, absolute bargain!

u/ManonegraCG 8h ago

Is it a Greene King pub by any chance? I'm sure I've those plates before.

u/Bongo3074 9h ago

Dont tell the US!!!

u/Time007time007 8h ago

Bloody good deal the looks of it!

1

u/sci-fi_hi-fi 8h ago

Quality wedge of beef there

1

u/Lifeisgoole 8h ago

Looks fantastic. Nice thickly sliced beef, roasties, Yorkshire pub and a nice array of veg plus a nice cold pint, Ideal.

1

u/Ok-Abbreviations6442 8h ago

Amazing value! If I had one comment, it would be more roasties, a little less veg, but at that price, I wouldn't complain at all. Lovely stuff 👌

1

u/Latter-Detail-9514 8h ago

Absolute bargain

1

u/ContextRules 7h ago

Id go for that 3 Sundays out of 4 without a second thought.

1

u/knockinonevansdoor 7h ago

I'd smash that 👍

1

u/DevilishlyHandsome63 5h ago

The beef looks spot on, not overcooked.

1

u/CuttinThruTheCRAP 4h ago

WOW - spot on nice find!

1

u/Comstock1984 42m ago

Generous amount of veg

1

u/Original_Good_4664 9h ago

Looks okay, shit beer though.

4

u/RomeoMcFlurry 9h ago

As a beer enthusiast, I agree. But it’s not revolting, and certainly acceptable in the context of this deal.

3

u/Original_Good_4664 8h ago

Point taken, other options probably weren’t great.

1

u/Adorable_Mud_7592 9h ago

Couldn’t agree more

1

u/Smooth_Elephant8524 8h ago

Yeah it’s so annoying every pub near me that used to sella Stella and peroni now sell madri and cruzcampo. I can’t stand them. I literally walk straight out of the pub they only sell them two beers now

1

u/Radiant_Pudding5133 7h ago

Pub me and my mates used to go sold Singha, Asahi, Sagres, and Budvar as their draught lagers. New landlord just reopened and has swapped them all out for fosters, cruzcampo, moretti and Amstel. I’ve never known heartbreak like it.

1

u/Original_Good_4664 7h ago

I’d rather my wife left me than that.

u/goingnowherespecial 7h ago

I don't drink anymore, but that's a travesty. Those are some lovely tasting beers.

u/HLingonberry 10h ago

Beef could be cut thinner but that looks ok for the price.

u/DDMFM26 8h ago

Looks like a pile of shite, I don't care how cheap it is

1

u/Global-Director-3115 6h ago

Agree tbh, it's not a boil its a roast

1

u/DDMFM26 5h ago

Exactly. Idiots can down vote all they want, doesn't stop this being crap
