Valentine's pub Dinner for meat eaters

Hello foodies of the Hive

How time flies, I can't believe it has been two weeks since it was Valentine's Day.

We went out to eat and as it turned out had a Valentine's Day lunch!

The Robert Nairn

This is our local Wetherspoons pub restaurant and I had to go eat a meal there and check out the quality etc.

The date was Valentine's Day!

Actually talking of days, the day was a cracker, it might have been winter but there was a blue sky!

I had no idea about this offer which greeted us as soon as we walked in door.

It sounded like a bargain! I had to order some food and two particular drinks.

This then sounded like the thing to do.

The two required drinks were ordered and duly arrived almost instanteously to our table...

Can you guess what they are?

Hands up if you said a pint of Corona and a pint of Leffe.

If you know you know...

Of course when you put in this combination of drinks, the staff know why you are there, and you get the best service going!

So not long after the waitress brought out our drinks, another waitress brought out our main courses.

I fancied a steak, I tend not to order an expensive steak at a restaurant as I have been disappointed.

I love a blue steak which is basically ultra extra rare.

But unless the steak has been left to heat upto room temperature you won't get it blue. Now with all these hygiene laws they keep steaks in the fridge, so at best you will get a rare one.

Baked potato or a jacket potato instead of chips and peppercorn sauce!

The drone shot

Well of course it is just an aerial view not from a drone but me.

You can see the full ingredients
Steak, onion rings, tomato half, mushroom, peas, baked potato and some peppercorn sauce.

Chicken with BBQ sauce and a Mediterranean salad.

With some kind of dressing..

The dressing came in a wee bowl on top of some stuff in the bigger bowl of the mediterranean salad.

We took an educated guess that the stuff on top of the leaves was quinoa. The waitress confirmed it.

The BBQ sauce apparently was really nice as was the butterfly chicken with a slice of bacon on top!

My rare steak

For the price it was really good.

Normally that would be us. One main course and a drink...

But the deal included dessert as well!

So I adopted the thinking pose and chose what I wanted!

Of course I knew what I wanted

Chocolate cake on a river of chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream

It did not disappoint!

I can always find room for chocolate cake and ice cream!

Apple crumble and custard

Mrs T loves apple pie so settles for apple crumble when she can find it.

Verdict

The food was piping hot and the service was extremely fast, perhaps because they knew why I was there.

For £25 pounds it was a bargain, I totalled bill up and without the special dealit would have been £44.

So we saved £19 and got well fed, with a cheeky wee drink thrown in...

Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful March
