good value - name and celebrate

[Springal]

Cote in London is ace, I always take customers to the Covent Garden one, decent good, I think its like 2 courses for £12, sorted!

Re: Interwok, Worthing, is it actually any good? Most of these buffet things are so oily and full of GSM, horrible. Much like Days in Brighton

 

[CHAPPERS]

in amungst the fighting, I will nominate here. 2 courses for £9.95

Cote Restaurant, Brighton - French food menu

Is that in the old Library?

 

[Notters]

Taj Grocers' garlic, spices, fruit and vegetables.

Not the meat and dairy stuff, mind.

The fruit and veg there really is shite. I must have gone back there 5 times thinking it must've been a one off, but the peppers, mushrroms, chillis etc are always dried out and the onions and and shalotts tend to be rotten in the middle. I've yet to find anywhere worse for fruit and veg. Their meaet is fantastic though, with a chicken breast at £1.50 and three times as big as one from the supermarket and the butcher is very helpful. One did you find wrong with their meat?

I'm talking about the one in Old Steine. They don't have a meat counter there, so I can't comment on that, but the packaged stuff in their fridges is inferior to supermarket (Morrison's half a dozen doors up) or butchers' meat.

It looks like we're at the polar opposites here, because I have NEVER had any gammy fruit or veg from there, and their fruit especially is better and cheaper than supermarket fruit.

Take a trip back to the 70's at Poundland - Vesta Beef Curry - £1

yes, on Church Street. Brilliant place opened two weeks ago. Great garden and food is pretty good too. I went for Moules Frites!

I would agree. Never had any bad fruit or veg brought from there. Cant comment on the meat.

What is the headroom like? I will need to give my smugmobile back when I leave at the end of September and am looking for a cheap new car with a decent warranty and this was one on my list. However, at 6ft 1in and 16 stone, I need a car I can fit in as well.

Hmm.Don't think you'd be comfy in this little town car,but try a test drive.Got mine from drivethedeal.Don't get the two door.Only mistake I made really,but then I am one of the "one in a car" people usually.

To be pedantic, it's in the old music library. The old library is now the bar for the Dome.


Looks a good place though.

That is VERY pedantic.

 

[Dover]

Rounder Records. I always find something excellent in their vast bargain section.

I'd also like to nominate Resident, in Kensington Gardens for the same reason. i love both shops.


My other nomination is the Brighton & Hove calendar from Snoopers.

[Mr Banana]

Withdean Sportsman - £3.59 for a daytime carvery meal (£3.25 for kids), ok its not Michelin 5 star food but I took the wife and 2 kids there the other day, had a quick peek at the pitch to see how it was and then we all had a very large plate of hot fresh food and a drink all for under £19 which I didn't think was that bad.

Aye aye, bet that's well good now, about time, I always thought it was the worst local I could possibly have had when I lived next door. My mate is head chef there now, and he's bloody brilliant, didn't even realise til I dragged him along to Withdean t'other Satdi. Top bombing.

Taj is good value, they even chuck maggots into their fruit free of charge.

Pompoko's - best Jap food in Brighton, £4.20 for most mains and you can take your own pop for a quid.

Dirty Harry's and Immediate on Sydney Street - splendid t-shirts for a tenner.

Goose hairdressers - best snippers in town, only £12 and you'll probably hear an album you'll want to listen to forever while yer in there.

For anyone heading to Orlando, spend a day at Crystal River on a snorkel trip with the manatees. Its an hour and a half drive, but a fantastic day out and much cheaper than the Disney parks.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Ask restaurant in Ship Street.

They sometimes forget to give you the bill before you slowly get up to go. Happened twice now.

You have left the restaurant twice without paying ?

Blimey.

Blimey.

Technically thats theft but its also bloody stupid of the restaurant

True.

First time (my first date with my partner) I asked for the bill three times. Second time I went (about five years later), I asked four times.

Both times they didn't seemed bothered about giving me the bill, so we left. Bargain.
