Really? The major was the place for a cheap pint and a packet of crisps when I lived in rammy.
Factory prepared "home cooked" pub food - what a con!

I'll have to try it. My parents rate the food at the shoulder of mutton, in Holcombe village.

I got a piece of decking the other day to eat off. I know it was decking as it had the grooves cut in it and exactly matched the stuff out in the beer garden!
A chopping board is good presentation of some dishes. If I've ordered a full ploughman's that comes as proper lumps of bread and cheese for me to combine as I wish, then serving it on a chopping board makes great sense, a firm base to cut the bread and cheese on and enough space to do so.
Better than a slice of decking that's been dipped in arsenic as a form of weather treatment!
Slate isn't that uncommon in the kitchen, I have slate table mats (which I then put a plate on) Same as being served a meal on a chopping board, if it's fitting with the meal, I'm happy. Got fish and chips on a slate in a pub in the lake district a while back, thought 'this is novel' and splurged ketchup on top and got stuck in.

Decking FFS! I would have had to say something... "what the f*ck is this?... There is such a thing as a catering supplier you know... you don't have to raid a skip!"

i thought about this post while i was eating lunch today, thinking you don't have to spend that much more to get proper food...
Harvesters et al, typical pub food, ok for the money IMO would normally cost IRO £25 for two meals and two drinks and you get a salad as well.
Shopping today, busy busy, then across to the crem on the edge of town to put flowers down for my brother...lets get something to eat at The Fitzwilliam pub in a nearby village. Weve been there before but its normally a bit far to do regularly on a whim.
Pork loins, mashed potato with herbs, green bean and broad bean 'medley' and a lovely sauce, kinda mildly horseradishy and a drink each...£31.
£5 extra for a lovely genuine pub atmosphere, absolutely kitchen prepared food, proper mash. all tasty in a way Harvesters et als food isnt.
Yes, there's less on the plate, you're not getting salad, but i'll remember that dinner in a way i never would with pub chain meals.
