Best value for money restaurants

RaiderHammer

I find Harvester and Nandos the best value for money:

Harvester - Free unlimited salad and early bird menu before 6.30 PM 7 days a week gives you a third off the standard prices for main course.

Nandos - Love the way you can pick your spice on the chicken, go hot and take advantage of free soft drink despensor re-fills.

Any other great value for money places out there?

Is it me or does anyone else get a bit concerned about these all you can eat salad bars at Harvesters and the like? I always think of all the people using their hands and coiughing and spluttering all over them! Especially with all this swine flu about!!

Cosmo's £6.50 buffet lunch is hard to argue with. Not the greatest, but good value. I'd hope the (more expensive) evening sitting would offer more choice, though. Restaurants around the UK: http://www.cosmo-restaurant.com

Toby Carveries - Mon - Sat from lunchtime until 7.00 pm a carvery meal with choice of ham, beef and turkey (or all three) with a Yorkshire Pud and as many veg as you can eat for £5. Excellent value.

I really second that we've been there twice since we realised this value and have been impressed by the food and the amount you get... add £1 to the meal and you have a choice of ice cream or tea/coffee... Cheap and healthy! V. recommended!

Shame to say it but I have never been to a Toby Cavery. Might pay them a visit tomorow judging by the coments.

I agree with Toby Carvery , I work out and about and love to find a Toby for a bargain lunch. There was a few vouchers kicking about online for a free ice cream or tea & coffee, although I tihnk they are now finished.

I do like Nandos altohugh I do find it a bit pricey for a lunch ( workday) and more of a treat, it has recently gone up. However, we do have a loyalty card & next time we go we get the free whole chicken :j

Crown Carveries. Identical to Toby but only £3.50 Mon-Sat.

Harvester is great value, I second (or third) that, I went on saturday, £4.99 for spit-roatst chicken and as much salad as you can eat. The salad is really good too, fresh bread rolls and I just adore their 'red devil' sauce. I had a coupon for free sundae ice creams as well, they are often found in the newspapers.
It has to be noted though that these places make a lot on drinks; £2 for a J2O for my son, and you can't not have a drink....

Tesco clubcard deals on Bella Italia, Cafe Rouge, Pizza Express etc. Cannot be beaten. I always say it's a shame they are not accepted at local indian restaurants as they're by far my favourite. :rolleyes:

Another vote for Harvester
£24.96 for family of 4 (3 courses with soft drink each)
drinks 1.25
free salad bar for starter (rolls are lovely)
early bird 4.99 (we don't bother with kids meals, much smaller and only £1 less)
free icecream sundae (http://www.c-f-1.com/HTMLEmail.aspx?emailid=UE=Qjxf9IPW0mrNpm9lYt0N9O)
Lovely
