dhill Posted June 27, 2015 #26 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Can anybody give me a rough idea of what we can expect to pay for an evening meal at a pub near the London Eye? We will be staying at the Premier Inn London County Hall, but my husband would prefer to eat at a pub rather than the hotel restaurant. Nothing fancy, we are not beer or wine drinkers. YOur steaks will cost mre fish and chips will be less it wont be cheap:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowzz Posted June 27, 2015 #27 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Just try Trip Advisor - eat at the Slug and Lettuce (a chain) and £20 each will be ample. If you can afford a cruise the cost of a meal is really incidental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iluvcruising2 Posted June 30, 2015 #29 Share Posted June 30, 2015 If you are sick of pub food and want to try something Japanese/Asian that isn't too expensive, there is a chain called Wagamama which serves decent food at prices that won't make you broke. It is called Wagamama. [YOUTUBE]BNercTQKYFY[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ashevillesailors Posted June 30, 2015 #30 Share Posted June 30, 2015 An actual price will depend on what you want to eat. Steak tens to be expensive fish and chips or bangers and mash not so much so. What is a banger? Sorry it has been awhile since I was in England.

wowzz Posted June 30, 2015 #32 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I feel I should elaborate on the term 'Bangers'. Sausages come in all shapes, sizes and varieties, but are normally pork based. In recent years the sausage market has gone upscale, with exotic meats [venison, wild boar etc] plus added ingredients eg Pork and Bramley Apple, Pork and Leek etc. The generic term 'Banger' is normally only used in 'Ye Olde Worlde' type pubs in the UK and abroad, trying to appear to be authentically British. I do not know anyone who would go into a butchers and ask for 6 bangers. There are also other meanings to the term banger. If a lady is described as having a 'fine pair of bangers', she does not have two excellent sausages, but she does have a well defined chest. If someone has an 'old banger' they do not have an ancient sausage, but rather a old, noisy car. Finally, a banger can also refer to a small firework that goes, well, BANG! Hope that is all clear!

Iluvcruising2 Posted July 1, 2015 #34 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Thanks so much for all of the responses! Now we will have to decide where to eat! I am very grateful for the variety of answers! When in London, we don't eat much for breakfast and find that a place like Greggs really suits us fine. Pastry and latte for 2 pounds. Greggs is a chain store, all over London and UK. [YOUTUBE]CSCFsjbod8Q[/YOUTUBE] Edited July 1, 2015 by Iluvcruising2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
