If I opened up an English takeaway in Old Town offering a limited menu of
Beef stew (cooked in ale) / Sausages and gravy / Slow cooked lamb shanks / Ham and eggs
with side options of
Chips / Mash
Would you all turn up?
I'd be there if you could eat in!

I had some nice sausages this morning, pork, leek and mustard. Don't even know if they were English but they were very nice indeed.

Well I was thinking the empty Pizza Box premises on Devises road. so a few seats but takeaway boxes to eat on your way being the key business.

Tempted to ditch ham and eggs for a Chilli. Don't have to train staff to slice or fry then.
Add "a big fuck off home made slab of bread" to the side options.

Wahaaay, a Man v Food style challenge on our own doorstep(ish) www.hoggitandhoof.co.uk/hoof/Challenge.htmlFEELING REALLY HUNGRY?
See if you have the appetite for a 72 oz Rump Steak (cooked to your preference),House Salad and Chips
If you finish it in under an hour then the steak is free however fail and it will cost you £49.95 (see rules opposite)
The Rules
1. Entire meal must be completed in one hour. If any of the meal is not consumed (swallowed)...YOU LOSE!
2. Before the time starts, you will be allowed to cut into the steak, and take one bite. If the steak tastes good and is cooked to your satisfaction, we will start the time upon your acceptable approval. The time will not stop, and the contest is on, so make SURE before you say “yes.”
3. Once you have started you are not allowed to stand up, leave your table, or have anyone else TOUCH the meal.
4. You will be disqualified if anyone assists you in cutting, preparing or eating of your meal. This is YOUR contest.
5. You don’t have to eat the fat, but we will judge this.
6. Should you become ill, the contest is over... YOU LOSE! (Please use the container provided as necessary.)
7. All spectators are diners and must order from the menu
8. You must sit at a table that we assign.
9. If you do not win the steak challenge, you are welcome to take the leftovers with you.
10.No consumption or sharing of the leftovers is allowed in the restaurant once the contest is over.

Had a 24oz T- bone a few years ago in Polperro, I didn't even touch the side salad and fries that came with it ! Don't even know if you can get T-bone steaks now, not on the bone anyway.

Oh the memories.
A 'phat boy' from Jakes would always suffice.

I find Jakes way overpriced.

Is that the one near Roundy? Really narrow inside. That opened while I was in Plym. A friend who still lives there told me University Wines was gone and it's now a Chris Shorey (shudder) building.
