Agreed. It’s gone up a fair bit since you put me onto it during lockdown, but Balti Express is still one of the cheapest and best Indian takeaways in Brighton & Hove.
WorkED. She workED. If hasn’t workED in foodservice in last few months then that experience is so far out of date now it’s without credit. Food inflation is reaching Weimar Republic status, with 20years in Foodservice and hospitality including procurement, IMO people are ridiculously out of touch with reality and always have been re: understanding of where their food comes from, how made etc. For something people put in their mouths 3 times a day and drives their very existence, I’m constantly amazed how ignorant the general public are about food. As highlighted by endless stream of food programmes trying to educate those that eg haven’t worked out own brand supermarket comes from the same factories as branded often with the same ingredients and recipe. You don’t need to work on inside like me to know this though. Just keep eyes and ears open in general. Greg Wallace will get you at some point…
You need to increase the beer consumption the night before then. Keep trying and at some point you’ll reach the hangover sweet spot where you open the fridge door and think you’ve arrived in heaven when you see last night’s left overs.
I rarely get that drunk these days, and I don't generally eat in the mornings. If I tried to chow down the remains of a cold curry first thing in the morning with a side-order of hangover though, then I would be greeting that curry all over again, and quite rapidly.
Did you go the Evil Eye after for Johnny Depp's favourite tequila-infused beer?We have a PJ's round the corner which is an emergency go to (it's shit pizza but I can pick it up in 15 mins). You can order online or off the app outside the store. Never paid more than £20 for a family of four
As for the OP you need to move oop north. Curry for two hungry blokes in York on Tuesday was £25 each - Chicken Chilli Masala, Paneer Jalfreezi, garlic naan, dhaal, mushroom rice and two beers each
That's the way to do it. A curry and a rice per person is madness when you have sides as well. Also, charging the best part of a fiver for rice, as many places do nowadays, is daylight robbery.
Heads-up here for the open kitchen at Red Chillies in Preston Drove. Watch the food be cooked in front of you or go and have a swift pint across the road in the Park View while it's prepared. No matter how little food you think you've ordered, you'll be gobsmacked at both the quality of that food and the quantity of extras included at no extra charge. It's gotta be one of the best in Brighton shirley
Well sitting in restaurant it said £8.95 for them unless it was a typo but I reckon they don’t sell many whilst sitting inside . The poppadoms were £1 each then they fleece everyone another £1 each for the chutney tray ?? 3 of us went and my daughter who just had a coke and a portion of rice . The part I didn’t like was on the menu it says minimum spend of £20 per head . Cheeky feckers . Won’t return there anyway and go up the K2 instead
Indian Cottage in Shoreham is well decent food and also excelente value (having first paid obligatory visit to that daft-but-sweet F1-themed pub practically next door). My main gripe with the Indian Cottage is always the collateral damage next morning. Invariably involves a jarred knee/twisted ankle on account of sunken steps and/or sore head on account of that f*cking low doorway that catches me out every damn time. Still, no pain, no gain eh?
It’s my arse that normally hurts next morning when I go there…. It’s alright though.
The increased energy costs have not quite kicked in yet, been a mild autumn so far so we have been lucky. Expect food inflation to continue plus the energy bills will be going up, people will then cut down on their eating out. Additionally, I think there is still a little bit of drinking in the Last Chance Saloon, we know its coming but lets have a last bit of fun before it arrives.
I have had plenty of York pub recommendations, if you want any.
Yeah, I cook my own at least a couple of times a week and like you say everything other than the meat is really cheap - I have to rely on my trips back to Derby to get the rarer ingredients but doing that shop is a bit of a treat!
Yes please.
Just had a quick look at their menu, what you’d ordered is about £46, the rest would be drinks I assume.
