Give me a regular burger and chips combo in the £8-12 range and I'm happy - portion size that is happily unamerican without breaking the bank. If I'm paying c£30 for a meal for two, at the very least we're sitting somewhere nice. The five guys restaurants I see always seem so plasticy on the inside. Nah not at all. Yeah you get extra volume, but quality wise it's so much better. I'd like to know where your going that's decent for £30, you can barely get a harvester for that, even on the cheap menu, when you add drinks!

It was £29 Go to Original Patty Men! Shared starter, burger each, shared fries and a drink each for under £25. And it's an actual restaurant.

Rodders Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I was going for roughly £30, at that price you may as well pay an extra £5-10 but plenty of perfectly decent restaurants - drink each plus main course each = roughly about that. Not talking about your fancy pants dinners, but still an upgrade on a sterile burger joint I'll take your word for it on the quality though, as with those sizea I just would either be guilty at how much I've eaten or just as bad for what was left behind. With smaller portions there's always room for dessert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best burger I’ve eaten is from Bleeker Street (not sure whether they have a branch in Birmingham). If you’re ever in London then definitely try their burgers. **** unreal. Sound intriguing where in London is it? Might need to check this out. For London there is a place called dirty burger its suppose to be awesome. 1 hour ago, Genie said: I went to Nando’s once and failed to see the appeal. It was twice the price of KFC and half as nice. I thought back in the day nandos was good now its pretty shit. Smaller and more expensive and more stingy with the peri dust and sauce The funny thing is people think nandos is healthy option. It really isn't when you actually look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been to Nando's 4 times, each one a different outlet but I had the same shitty food experience in each of them. At least they are consistent !

AVFCDAN Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) It’s chicken with seasoning and a range of sauces, I’m not quite sure how badly it can be done? I know it’s not gourmet food but chicken and chips for a tenner seems fair to me? I must be eating in their top restaurant because I’ve never had grounds to complain before.

VILLAMARV Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Quote KFC has apologised to its customers for running out of chicken - in a pretty cheeky way. The fast-food chain took out a full page ad in the Sun and Metro newspapers which shows an empty bucket of chicken with crumbs spilling out. Instead of having KFC logo on the side, the letters have been switched around to read "FCK". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-43169625 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick search suggests that the nearest one to me is a 45 minute drive away, so I won’t be finding out in a hurry. There is about 3 in Brum city centre at last count. Very nice burger but expensive as others have said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smaller and more expensive and more stingy with the peri dust and sauce Definitely more expensive with smaller portions than it used to be years ago. It is still awesome though. I must have easily eaten in Nandos 100's of times! Possibly 400-500 times at a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
