It's the easiest thing to cook when there's a number of you; can't find the effort when there's just the 2 of us.

Traditional Sunday lunch every week (practically) but ..............not at lunchtime - about 5.30 or 6. The more the merrier - my grand son was here today watching the football, so i invited his friend to stay (taking the number up to 9) - my son and his partner tut tutted

 

I want my grand sons and their friends to feel welcome and treat the place like home. We always had an army of kids round when mine were young and I miss it.

 

Nothing better than a big family dinner IMO.

If we do go out I prefer Italian/Indian menu and I only drink water(fizzy)

During the week I do dinner  three days out of the five and the time varies.

Yep, if there's just the 2 of us I often shoot down to the fishmonger's and get a bit of fish on Sunday.  If not, then steak always gets a favourable reaction here

People say I look mighty fine in 'em.

Gawd, Joe!  Corduroy AND sandals..?  You're not painting the best of images, y'know 

 

What's the average they charge for a 3 course at the carvery?

Round here it ranges from a ridiculous 6 quid upwards.

I have no idea .....................they'd told H beforehand that his friend would have to go when we eat Maybe they thought that it looked like taking liberties (said in my best Nan voice aka Catherine Tate) - they know I'm not like that at all though so I was a bit

But that's the thing about roasts - there's always enough to stretch for a few more if there's extra people around.  I've never catered for the exact number cos you never know who the kids will turn up with in tow.

Never tried it never cooked it,wouldn't know how. Lamb scares me .

Really?  It's quite simple really.  Have a google for an easy peasy method and give it a go 

Eating it scares me .

I watched a film years ago about a plane crash (true story) and the survivors has to eat  human flesh and they said it tasted like lamb !!

Fayre and Square are more than lovely and very reasonably priced!!

Are they a local chain or nationwide?

And what is considered reasonable?  As I said up there ^ some places charge a mere ÂĢ6 but the reports - surprise, surprise! - aren't favourable at all.

Whereas, I love eating (and drinking) 

 

They probably psyched themselves in to believing it tasted like lamb so as to make it digestible

Aww Erin, lamb is deelish... mm mm mmm. Try some chops to start?

 

The only bad thing is you have to disassociate it, from those fluffy cute bleating little things jumping round fields.

Reminds me of the time I found out the blind man in the Great Escape wasn't really blind.I also thought Andy Pandy was a girl

About fwarty poond for the three of us without a starter. It really is top quality stuff though. Beef, lamb, pork (and Turkey, or salmon steak, or smoked salmon and prawns for people who can stomach that sort of thing mit salads) Yorkshire puddings, cabbage, peas, sprouts, mash, swede, roast potatoes,  (and parsnips and cauliflower and broccoli in some sort of cheese sauce for people who can stomach that sort of thing also)
