You've been saving all week, you have a hangover and your partner's mum has flown for 26 hours to be in the country.
In these circumstances, only a roast will do... and a good one at that.
After a day of walking (to save on TfL spending) around London's sights and relative modesty (after spending £35 last night on alcohol), a trip to the Holly Bush was well earned.
An amazing pub, selling a full range of Fullers excellent ales (including the lovely Discovery and the rarer Seafarers) and what I can only describe as the best Sunday Roast in north London (sorry Oxford, you've just lost your crown).
The price of this roast? £14. Not good considering the same thing at a Wetherspoons is about half the price.
Can I bring myself to pledge only to east Wetherspoons roasts? Well no... but given that the bread and olives arrived with the main course (why?!) and I sent them back, I did save an additional £4.50.
I can happily pledge not to buy bread and olives anymore when eating out (a 24% saving) and not spend more than a tenner on a roast dinner - meaning a total saving of 45%.
And people wonder why you can't trust people who work in PR when they come up with 'official' figures...
Your roast was more expensive than Windermere's? And I bet you were only there for an hour or so. Where's the value in that!!!!
