I went to Frankie and Bennies the other week. The food was decent, but the portions were small - especially for an American themed restaurant. Spent a tenner and wasnt nearly full.
On a side note, loads of nice birds in there.

The Grove will also let you park your car there for the game if you go in before the game - that gives them bonus points in my opinion.

Yeah, the waitresses were nice. But there were groups of birds just having dinner with their friends and that. Was good.
Any of you lot tried Toby Carvery? I dont know if Swindon has one to be honest, but I used to go to one in Reading and it was georgeous.

F&B's waitresses are all fit, it's clearly the criteria for hiring people there. Sexual discrimination eh?
I went to Chiquitos once and a pint of Red Stripe cost me £5.50 :?

The amount of choice in food is quality. Only been for a Sunday Lunch so not sure if it's always the same but the quality was so good |

Whereabouts in Brum are you Mr Roundabout? should get yourself down to sundarbon in selly oak, better than the local franki and bennies. One of the chinese places in the chinese quarter is excellent, as are some of the places in the mailbox, and los igunanas (small portions too) in arcadian. I never made it to ladypool road though!!! Also some smashing Italian places in Mosely and Harbourne.
