snowychap Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 The Crown's pretty decent. What happened to the pub in Ombersley? I realized this morning that my recommendation of it might have been a little outdated as I've not been there in a fair old while and it's reopened as part of a (small) chain (Swan at Whittington and a few others).

TH Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Neelams, Bearwood. Make sure you've had a minimum of 8 pints and it's after 3am. You will not regret it. Until the next day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually been there and enjoyed it, now I see why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Coq D'Argent Infamous for people throwing themselves off the rooftop garden, but I've never found the food that bad, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 If anyone's ever in Toronto I recommend Ruth's Chris Steakhouse by the Hilton. Pricey as hell at about $100+ for a dinner, but Jesus H. Christ the steak is out of this world For the cheaper option, there's a Pickle Barrel on Yonge and Eglinton that's ludicrous value for money. You'll get a truckload of great food for about $40 - though I'd advise against any other Pickle Barrel's in Toronto, they're all garbage compared to that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get that a lot when I visit the Mids. My local knowledge is well out of date. My girlfriend takes the piss - "So it was good twenty years ago?" - Often accompanied by a frosty stare. Think I do remember a pub in Ombersley that did good food, remember pictures on the wall made from gears and cogs from clocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime rib the size of a small country .. drool i make it a point to visit one every time i go to the states Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Over a ton for a meal here is insane. Food is super value actually, and way better than back home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 1st time i went i thought nandos was brilliant, 2nd time i thought i know i'll try a different flavour, think it was the 3rd time i went that i started to think it was a bit pointless strange how i'll go to miller and carter and happily have the same steak every time but i feel as if nandos is boring because its chicken or chicken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Posted January 22, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 22, 2014 Rowley's Jermyn Street, London - it's all about the steak baby. And the unlimited chips. And the lovely service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted January 22, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 22, 2014 I wasn't even joking when I said Nandos. I by no means think it's the best restaurant. But it's undoubtedly the one I visit most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) I've never been to a Nando's is my life incomplete ? pretty much its better than the likes of frankie and bennys / chiquitos / pizza express etc but its basically chicken grilled in a choice of around 7 sauces, to me its boring Edited January 22, 2014 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonno_2004 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Rotate with four different ones over here - there's a fifth one i'd love to go to but it means not drinking or paying a shed load for a taxi return. I think there is a lack of top class restaurants for obvious reasons, but then again it wouldn't be a regular occurrence to spunk £150-£200 on a meal for two anyway.
