Another reason I like to buy a take-away when getting one. Must save a fortune on that ludicrous pot pourri shit having your house smelling of deliciousness all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As said above, its a mix - changed into a sit-in restaurant a few years back. Genuinely one of the best curries I've had, and reasonably priced too - meal for 2 cost us £60, but we over ordered as we werent sure on portion sizes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try The Covered Wagon in Moseley or Ginger Blue in Shirley (down the road from Sears Retail Park) A big thumbs up from me as well for Covered Wagon. Their large/special mixed grill is a thing of beauty, and all their curries are very good as well. Id say I’ve been there over 50 times since it opened in 2019.

Seat68 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 I hate bar b q’s. I hate that whole eating al fresco, cooking meat outdoors. But I have seemingly agreed to have one for my grandson’s birthday tomorrow. Praying for rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mottaloo Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Been to the covered wagon twice.....but as I live in north brum (practically the shires) I had to drive through town to get to it. Doubt I'd get away with it a third time. Mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I've heard that they can be great and you can have a really relaxing time before your flight, other times, a nightmare where you barely get served anything and for the cost, you may as well have been queueing up at the Wetherspoons for a beer and something to eat. I'm someone who likes to browse the shops and things before I go too. Last year, friends and I decided to walk over to the departure gate early over at the other side. We were there just before the gate and low and behold there was a bar that was absolutely dead (the little All Bar One maybe). Lovely comfy seats, a few bar nibbles (we just went with crisps ) and it was really relaxed. Compared to the big queues elsewhere, it was lovely. they're hit and miss. you do get what you pay for. go for the cheapest option? yes it's unlimited food and drink but the food will be below wetherspoons standard and almost certianly the lounge will be oversold and you'll be walking around looking for a seat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eating outside massively over-rated. 2 things I could quite happily avoid for the rest of my life. Although realistically unfortunately I know that probably won't happen. EDIT : Of the 2, if I had to rank them amongst themselves, the shittest is eating outside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 I don’t mind eating fish and chips by the seaside. I am not a fan of eating in my own back garden when there’s a perfectly good dining table about 10ft away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted June 25 VT Supporter Share Posted June 25 I kind of agree with the eating outside stuff. It's overrated. However that's why a BBQ is great because the food is suited to it. You can easily eat a burger outside without any hassle. I've switched to a gas bbq and it's improved things immensely. Far less faffing around 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far less faffing around Lava Rocks will improve that again if you don't have them. I miss not having a gas BBQ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
