I'd rather as someone said above go for a sizzling pub 2 chicken dinners for £10 meal. Nandos is ridiculously expensive for what it is, an up market KFC. About 10 years ago was the last time I went there, popped in while shopping with the Mrs. £62 later for 2 meals a small pud and drinks. You could go to a decent restaurant for the price. All the footballers love the place don't they. speaks volumes. ££££££ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stood outside one once, looked at the menu and thought most of it was missing. Chicken and choose a sauce. I didn't go in 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I’ve only been to Nando’s once, as others have said, it’s overpriced KFC (and not as tasty). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I mentioned I went to Miller and Carter a couple of months ago, I'd happily never go back. The wedge of lettuce they give you as a salad is almost an insult. Go to a South American steakhouse instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Miller & Carter are ok if you want a decent but overpriced steak. my favourite steakhouse is Meat in Liverpool - never had a bad meal there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to a family-owned Argie one in Hove a few weeks ago and it was outstanding. I'd love to go to South America if covid ever buggers off.

choffer Posted November 21, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 21, 2021 On the rare occasion I want steak, there’s only one destination. Gaucho every time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why m&c are so popular though, there isn't a South American steak house to compete with... Lived in kiddy and worked in Wolverhampton and worcester, frequented the m&c on the Penn Road for years, there's no competition in either direction on the 449 If I was venturing in to brum then obviously the options open up, I still don't think they're competing with say pulpera or gaucho or fiesta del asado though, they're under them competing with beefeater, TGI's etc there's obviously no Hawksmoors round there either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Not to be rude, can't any of you people cook steak? Surely you go out and eat something you couldn't cook in literally 4 minutes yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking of taking the family next year, (cancelled the last 2 years) costs a fortune for decent tickets, but looks a amazing day out. My lad loves planes and I'm partial to seeing the odd fighter jet too. Traffic is an absolute nightmare - but it is a good day out. I enjoy the one they have at Cosford more - also the RAF museum is there which is outstanding Edit. - should read the thread before posting. Sorry for repeating what the others said !

They both say it was practically a religious experience - way beyond the best they'd ever had in Britain. My wife and I were fortunate to take a trip down there in 2016. Buenos Aires and down to El Calafate to hike on the Perito Moreno Glacier. The meats were out of this world. They cook lamb by crucifying it in front of a fire! It's wild. However any other type of food was like stepping back in time, even in the capital. It was the level of food you'd get eating out in the UK in the 80's. The country itself had the feel of a bit of a time warp. Also in San Bariloche they seem very proud of the fact that Hitler was meant to have escaped there Mrs. A at the airport Glacier Meat More meat.

She was thinking "Central America, lots of nice spicy food, fab". What she got (and bear in mind she was staying with a fairly affluent family that actually owned a cattle ranch) was THE most boring diet - bland rice and beans for practically every meal. That's what the family lived on. Except at the weekend, when they had the huge, succulent steak to die for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
