Well, you can either have some slices of beef and chips for £12, or pub (and Costa Del Sol) classic lasagne and chips for £14. The non-veggie lasagne eaters amongst you* also get the rather bizarre addition of some jasmine steamed rice. This is also rather bizarrely titled as a buffet.

Match Special
Salt cured beef, Hand carved slices of salt cured beef served with rustic chips & baby leaves
Beef lasagne served with rustic chips, garlic bread & baby leaves, steamed jasmine rice
Vegetarian mediterranean vegetable lasagne served with rustic chips, garlic bread & baby leaves

* and mug enough to pay £14.

OK, what the f**k are rustic chips ?? I know what a rustic property is, and I'd even consider you could have a rustic person but rustic chips ? I guess they mean chunky chips !

Chips made from potatoes that haven't had money wasted on them by employing a peeler.

Lasagne with chips and rice

Salt beef without rye bread or at least a bagel?

Is there anyone there that knows anything about food?

Doesn't look like it.

Town it is then.

I put rustic chips into Google and the first thing that came up was McCain's oven rustic chips. I think your question is now answered.

Lasagne and rice? Sounds like an all inclusive holiday Buffet where you pile everything on your plate at once, for the novelty.

Valuable feedback? Are you charged for that too?

Would be nice if they responded to the "valuable feedback" on transport. Saying that they prob have in the same way as rustic chips for catering

Outrageously there is an average looking meal for 70 plus VAT per person ( from memory it was 70 plus VAT) it was an outrageously high price for average food anyway.

It's taken you this long to work it out? If you want to be nearer the ground, try the Swan, they do a great combination, quality food, decent beer, sensible prices.

If only they were the quality of something McCain's would make.

Except you can't pile it on your plate, it's a dollop of Lasgange, or a slice of Beef, or chunck Veggie, and only one portion of either chips, rice or pasta.

The Swan is fantastic, the club must never be allowed to buy it up.

Only by decent competition will things slowly change.
