Great ‘best value restaurant food’ Hunt

Chris_Powell

Had a lunchtime meal here over New Year. It was amazing value but mainly because the food was superb. The set menu was about 8 pounds, cant remember if it was for 2 or 3 courses, and you really would have struggled to produce such excellent food for the price never mind the time it would take.

I suppose what made it better was that I had never been to Shrewsbury before and stumbled across the restaurant. This wasnt cheap food but was great value for money.

Another restaurant I can highly recommend which i find good value is Oddfellows in the Boat between Walsall and Lichfield. Not cheap but I think it is good value for what you get served. I had crab thermidor last week for £9 - no way I would even try making that at home. They also do a lower priced lunch menu which I am told is good.

Not really restaurant but I really hate paying a lot for a sandwich when I'm out so if in need I go to a baker's and get a Belgian bun -nomally 60 -70p and just as filling.

If you are prepared to be seated by 6.30 p.m., Brewers Fayre Restaurants offer 2 meals for £9 from a limited number of main menu items, and the quality and service at our local BF (Epsom) is excellent for the money.

I also graduated a few yrs ago from Durham and I agree with TrickyDicky - NumJai is the best Thai restaurant I've ever been to, and the lunchtime offer makes it great value.

Gafffe - thanks for this, will be in that area and wanted something a bit different to eat lunchtime during our weekend and this looks likely - a change from burgers etc. !!Greta - thanks again.

Crown Carverys gets my vote too! (We go to the Old Quay in Parkgate, Wirral)

5 of us normally go, and for a meal plus a drink each (which varies from a pint to a J20) it costs just under £26 which is a bargain!

Now I'm starving, I could just murder a plate of their roasties with gravy all over them, YUM YUM!

Crown Carveries. All you can eat carvery for £3.50 Monday to Saturday. It would cost me more to cook it at home.

This applies only to veg. etc. NOT to your meat choice.

The Flaming Dragon chinese buffet restuarants (e.g. Castleford, Nottingham, and Sheffield) are excellent value. They do an all you can eat buffet (including a good range of starters and desserts), for just £5.90 (adult) or £2.50 (child). Drinks are charged extra, but are normal pub/restuarant type prices so are not excessive. www.flaming-dragon.co.uk

They also have some other restuarants in the chain (e.g. Birmingham, Worcester, Gloucester) but prices vary so check their website for details.

Hate to give away a secret but I often go to Umami in Manchester for their lunch express offer, a starter and main for £4.99, plus a green tea is about a £1 but unlimited! Food is very nice, service is great and the food comes out quick too.
