| £20 is one of the cheapest, if not the cheapest Sunday roast (chicken) on the High Road right now - the Hound’s cheapest roast is an eye-watering £34 (!!) and in my experience is rather disappointing, small and nowhere near justifying that ultra-premium price, even with their “bone marrow gravy”, which seemed basically to be watery gravy with bits of rather unpleasant floating fat! Most other pubs I’d consider for Roasts (George IV, Sussex, The Roebuck, The Lamb) are £20-25 for chicken and more for beef, lamb or pork. I also doubt many places on and around the high road do Guinness for much under £7 these days either Adding a device charge to the bill is also fairly normal practice, and 12.5% isn’t wildly out of line either. And it is discretionary, you can dial it down if you wish. FWIW my vote would go to the Sussex on recent sampling - good quality and decent portions. But you will still be paying similar or higher prices wherever you go these days |
