The Cheapest Roast in the UK?

In the News

So this place in Margate charges £1 for a roast, but with the condition you spend at least £3 on drinks - so that’s £4 for a Sunday dinner, which is very cheap

Most of the roasts being served near me exceeds £10 per plate, and that does not include drinks

How much do you pay for the roasts near you?

£1? that's very cheap, and definitely not what a roast normally costs. They must be making loads from the drinks. I find the usual price for a roast is about £10-12, unless you go to a Toby Carvery where it is a standard £7.95

I do love the carvery, but my nearest one is quite far, so I don’t go often. But one day I will try this one in Margate 😊

When I did some bar work I was told that the syrup in the cola and other drinks dispensed from the machine cost about 1p to 5p per shot but sold for £1.20 per small glass. Yes, there is lots of profit on drinks.

Lynibis yes I recall being told that the stuff on tap is nothing like the stuff in cans and bottles, which you can tell by the taste. That’s why the waiting staff look a tad annoyed if you ask for tap water with your meal 😜

all of the restaurants have overpriced drinks, so yeah the main point is to get people in to have food and of course they will drink too.

Go to carvery and pay around 6 quid a plate which i find wholly reasonable

I’ve not paid that price for a carvery for ages. It’s gone up to £7.95 and I don’t get any discount vouchers anymore, but they’ve got their rewards system in place

Yeh I know, one of the reasons why I normally go for beef or lamb, if availabl. I’d think it’ll be wasted to get chicken, as that’s easy to do at home
