    I don't think it was 48 pounds worth..The price is so high because of where you are eating the meal.

    For £50 ? You got too much money Lee. Fillet like that cost £9 in the shop. Two spuds and couple of bits of onion, 80p.

    The decor made me feel a bit sick to be honest, a tad garish. Prices are a bit on the strong side, I could get similar quality in my fave pub, with equally nice surroundings in a small hamlet on the N York Moors much cheaper, much cheaper. Looked good but too pricy. Won't mark it, as long as you enjoyed it that's what it's all about.

    I've also just had a steak dinner fit for a king. It was superb - 10oz sirloin, mushrooms, red peppers, tomatoes and chips. Where? Our house. Chef? My lovely missus! Supplier? Lidl. Cost? 2 x 10oz sirloins for £9.95, on special.
    Your fillet looked excellent too but I think mine would be difficult to beat. And the Chef even gave me a snog! 😀

    Steak looks buggered, fillet steak should be medium rare at the most but rare and blue is the best. There's a reason why steak tartar is only made from fillet steak, never sirloin or rump or any other cut. If you want a medium or well done steak, get a sirloin or rump, don't waste a fillet steak. Other than that the steak looked a good size but £48 for the steak, 2 onion rings, one mushroom, a bit of rabbit food and a kids portion of chips absolutely shocking.
