The " Honey I'm home and I'm bloody starving , what's for dinner " Thread.

It's a dreadful attempt at stuffing I think (not that stuffing has any place on a beef roast, white meat only surely).

It's not a restaurant :D It's a rubbish pub in town. I'm amazed they even do food beyond cheese cobs.
 
Stuffing is fine with lamb, especially if you make a nice rosemary heavy one. Definitely should be nowhere near a beef dish though.

That plate of food has exactly zero redeeming features.
 
I don’t understand why people would actively go out and pay for a roast dinner (I wouldn’t pay for that shit above at all, I wouldn’t eat that if it was free), I mean you could do just as good at home. Boil some veg, roast some meat and spuds and parsnips and make some gravy. All exactly how you like it. For loads cheaper. A roast dinner really shouldn’t be that difficult. If I eat out I want to eat something I won’t/don’t/can’t do at home. But if I had to go anywhere and pay for a roast it would be the Oakley Arms, such a good place.
We went there a few weeks ago on a Sunday and the kids all had roast dinners and they looked good. I can vouch for the meat being bang on because Sydney is a weirdo and didn’t eat it so I ate it and it was some top notch beef.
 
I'll pop to a local pub for a decent Sunday Lunch. Where they put the effort in and avoid defrosting the veg.

More than happy to pay if they are prepared to cook it properly and then do the dishes because sometimes you can't be arsed to do it yourself.

Been a while since I went but if you are passing MD, try the Four Alls. Just outside the town but well worth it.
The slow roasted beef is spot on.
 
I do get the benefits of eating out and not having the hassle of cooking and washing up, but to go somewhere properly decent with five kids in tow a Sunday lunch is costing me north of £150 with a few drinks. Fuck that.

Use my method...get someone else to pay...
 
This is a household of two and one doesn't eat meat. So no traditional Sunday lunch is being cooked as what would be the point. If we go out on a Sunday and there's a good roast beef or lamb I'm having that as I simply won't have it at home.

However I wouldn't eat in a terrible pub, have an obviously awful meal, then write a weird sneery review about how at least it wasn't a woke roast or something.
 
We do have a Sunday lunch from time to time if we are all at home, but we have 2 vegans, one who only eats chicken and one who hates chicken so a palaver cooking 3 different meals

Some excellent places to eat up our way. Hand and Trumpet in Wrinehill, Swan with 2 necks, Fitzherbert arms. All do a fantastic roast on a Sunday.

Will try the Four All's.

Like I said, I’ve no problem buying something I won’t eat at home. That would be the perfect excuse to eat a roast out.

Hand and Trumpet had a rough spell but have returned to their former glories on the food front.
 
I always try and have a home cooked Sunday lunch when I'm at home. Difficult when I'm away so have to rely on eating out.

Yeah, I'm with you.

Like there's no way I'm ordering spag bol in an Italian, I can do that (well I can now that Quorn mince no longer tastes like gravel as it did 15-20 years ago, these days it's arguably superior to basic supermarket beef mince as you avoid the gallons of fat that need draining).

I have the luxury of being able to buy 5% mince as I don’t have to cater for a vegetarian. The standard basic mince beef is rank.
