Maybe I've lived in the
Shad Thames gastro-bubble for far too long, but £12.75 for a Sunday roast seems positively CHEAP to me. Yes, you CAN cook it yourself for less, but I'd struggle to find a decent restaurant that can serve a good quality roast with fresh ingredients for less than £12.75
Many years ago I made the mistake of having Sunday lunch at the Horniman's by
HMS Belfast. Something like £8 for a plate of food that had been left under a heat-lamp for over an hour. Rubbery, tasteless, mass-produced rubbish (apologies to Horniman's if they've since become a top class foodies' paradise, but I sincerely doubt it).
