Was the chicken salad good?

So sorry you had to dine with Jeremy Hunt.

Still AND sparkling water?!!
Amazing what people can afford these days with a little help from the Conservatives' benefits handouts.

The still water was used to poach the salmon

Re: Eat Out to Help Out
Considering that my total income for the last four months is a big fat zero, I’m looking forward to going out again. I’ll do it when I have some work lined up, whenever that is.
Re: Eat Out to Help Out
Is that what it claims? It's not all that. Chris Evans used to own it, turned it into a very very expensive pub. Went back to cheap after he sold out. There are better pub lunches around at similar prices.
Pretty part of the country, Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, but less outstanding than other parts of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

My parents have been there (not recently). They reckoned it was OK, but nowt special. Better pubs with better food and beer the other side of the A3.lpm wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 8:47 amIs that what it claims? It not all that.

Re: Eat Out to Help Out
Agreed.
It's vital the government continues to subsidise Surrey residents and their continuing quest for a really good pub lunch. In this era of poor national nutrition, finding good organic pak choi needs to be a cabinet level priority. We can't have people in rural Britain going hungry by being forced to drive to the next village to find a decent trout dish.

I'm not sure you can call Surrey 'rural Britain'; I mean, it's got greenery, but it's hardly rural.lpm wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 9:11 amAgreed.

Mind you, Surrey is true-blue Tory and often elderly, so keeping them alive would be a cabinet level priority

Re: Eat Out to Help Out
Surrey? The most densely wooded county in England... with only narrow country lanes between many villages... with 25% of its area designated AONB? Not rural?
Taxpayers money needs to be used to stop Surreyians getting peckish.

Re: Eat Out to Help Out
Yeah, they carved off the most urban bit of Surrey into Greater London about 130 years ago. It is quite a rural county - the fact that it's full of c.nts is by the by.

I think Sussex pips you for woodland cover lpm, even the cheap bit where I live.
Well, it's got expensive lettuce, that's for sure.

Re: Eat Out to Help Out
I'm curious to see some of the better jokes about eating out to help out. Possibly the ones by women rather than the ones by men, but who knows.

Re: Eat Out to Help Out
So a pub that started a takeaway service during the pandemic and now has opened its restaurant service can get the eat out to help out for the eating in but not the same meal as a takeaway?
It seems a bit of a perverse incentive from a public health viewpoint.

I believe the rationale is that you don't need waiters etc for a takeaway.jimbob wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 2:35 pmSo a pub that started a takeaway service during the pandemic and now has opened its restaurant service can get the eat out to help out for the eating in but not the same meal as a takeaway?

Re: Eat Out to Help Out
OK - what if you take a seat to eat in - order everything from a waiter. Then when it arrives at the table you tip it off the plates and into tupperware and head off home? Tipping the waiter of course.discovolante wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 2:46 pmI believe the rationale is that you don't need waiters etc for a takeaway.jimbob wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 2:35 pmSo a pub that started a takeaway service during the pandemic and now has opened its restaurant service can get the eat out to help out for the eating in but not the same meal as a takeaway?

Does that qualify for EOTHO?

McDonald’s are doing EOTHO, but only for dine-in customers.

Re: Eat Out to Help Out
I was due to pick some specs up today. I switched it to tomorrow so I'd have an excuse to go into town, and eat at my favourite (newly opened) Tonkatsu ramen noodle place. I would have gone anyway, but as they're signed up to EOTHO, I switched it tomorrow. That way I can afford takoyaki as well as tonkatsu ramen (I may even push the boat out and have some sake as well. I know that's not included in the price).
