The Cost Of Eating Out Thankful Thursday Moving On
The Cost Of Eating Out
Last night i had to go to a family event where we had a dinner, there were 11 of us all together and i left wondering is eating out in the Uinited Kingdom even worth it now.
The place we went to was a place my daughter is currently working for it is under new management and local in the village called the Cock Inn.
It is a nice little pub and resturant with an out door area as well.
It is a nice place however it is very tight inside i would not have had such a big party personally as i don't think they can handle it.
I didn't take photos inside because as i said it was tight in there and there were other customers and a bit chaotic.
The food was OK but not work what we paid.
The service was not good the waitress we actually personally know,as my son went to her school dropped bread on my daughter and we were chasing service all the time we was there.
It took over an hour to have any food brought out at all even though we pre booked and pre ordered the food.
It was in my opinion not worth the cost and big groups are out of their league but it was alright.
The total cost was £290.45 Great British Pound but because my daughter works there we got a discount costing us £260.45
I was feeling sorry for my daughter Kodie as she was feeling a little embarrased about the quality of food and service.
In my opinion it really is getting bad in United Kingdom with the price of everything rising but the quality of everything going down at the same time it is currently not worth the money eating out.

Thankful Thursday
I am so thankful in my life for my wife, children and grand children as well as the oppotunities in life afforded to me with my life getting richer everyday.
One of these riches, something else i am super thankful for are the friends i have been making in the community.
When you look at the richness and diversity of our community you could not come across a more different group of people.
I love it that with all our differences we can come together and create such a fantastic community.
I appreciate you all
Moving On
You may or not know that for sometime people have been getting downvoted in our community by Usurpers. People that are just on Hive like you but feel like that have some kind of power and right to attack indiviuals through downvotes.
This is abusing the system for their own gains and ego, if you contact them they will spam spam a post at you with their lame double speak justification if they respond at all.
If you downvote them back and make a post about it they will spam your post with the same link to their justification asd they did on my recent post.
I said my part made it perfectly clear my stance i will not be bullied or intimidated or driven away.
Hopefully they move on and mind their own business as i stated to them they are not part of our community.
We will see what they will do they should just really ignore us so we can all get on to actual productivity of building what we wish.
People on this platform need to understand that there is blacklisting and muting that comes before fianancial attacking someone to appease ego's and sensitivities.
Don't like the community mute it, don't attack people, it really is simple as that then we will not have all this bad energy on the platform.

UK eating out is a costly affair. And, it surely hurts when only one person pays the bill 😂
On another note, if the food was good and was spend on family evening, then its surely worth spending.
But you mentioned that service and food was not good so, it wasn't a good experience
On very tiny brighter side, you did save 30 quid :-)

Being head of the family comes with some responsibility but still really.


I do not mind spending the money but it will have to be alot better than it was, still it was nice to be with family our night was still good.

Eating out really has lost its charm when the bill doesn’t match the food or service.
It’s even worse when you’ve got family with you and you want everyone to enjoy themselves, but instead you’re left frustrated.
At least you showed support for your daughter, though I can understand how she felt embarrassed about it. Honestly, with prices climbing and quality dropping,
I agree sometimes home-cooked meals feel like the better celebration.
Still, I like how you balanced it by being thankful for your family and community. That gratitude shines through, no matter the bad experiences.
!BBH
!ALIVE
Yeah exactly, it doesn't seem to be getting any better just more expensive.
Still we supported our daughter and still had a good family time over it.
We learned a lesson here, honestly it is annoying spending that money, especially as i am a trained chef by trade and my wife is an excellent cook anyway.
We could have done much more and better for a lot less to be honest.
At least we didn't have any dishes or clean up to do after. 🤣

It is not in Bedfordshire? I got a pub with that name close to me.
It is in Roade Village in Northamptonshire


It is actually called The Cock Of Roade 🤣
But for some reason people including the owners call it The Cock Inn

That is pretty costly! However, look like they are overcharging for the service they are providing! One good side, thanks to your daughter, you got some discount :)
!BBH
Yeah if the service was much better and the food was better it would have been easier to accept but it is done now and we all still had fun together so till a good evening.


Discounts are always welcome 🤣

That's one of the reasons that I haven't eaten out in ages. I can usually make way better food for much less. I really do wish that the downvote police would just mind their own business indeed. Oh, and I commented on your Blurt post. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Yeah i feel the same in my 20's i was a chef, trained at a college and everything after i got off the streets and the wife is a blinding cook as well.
I do not think we will do that often to be honest for the same reason, we can do better for less much less. 🤣
As for the downvoting police they have prooved it is just vindictive postering on their part with these downvotes. There is no integrety just tools doing someones bidding.
They double speak to justify their motive but it is just ego expression.
Downvoting me just wastes their resources time and reputation.
It won't stop me money i put into Hive along with the prizes i give away is not dependent on the imcome i generate on Hive so it wont stop me all the same.
Also i don't care, abuse is a hill i am willing to die on. I am more annoyed they think they can control people this way through abusing the system, in their fight to be the protectors of Hive they have become the thieves and hijackers instead.

That's very cool, brother. While I never had any formal training, I've always been very good with flavor balance, and basically making super delicious and nutritious food. It's fun for me, but I keep things quick and simple when I'm just making food for myself. Yep, I'm often not impressed by what many restaurants offer, because indeed, I know that it can be dome better and more frugally.
I so appreciate you and your determination and tenacity, my friend, and you'll always have my loyal support and collaboration. Just ignore them and carry on as usual.
Many thanks, Ben, and I'm wishing you a superbly sweet Saturday. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

When you pay high for quality food it's understandable, but not getting value for your money can be frustrating. Good a thing you got some discount, courtesy of your daughter working there, and I understand her embarrassment. The fact is homemade food costs less even with more quality.
Yes it was a little annoying to be honest but we still had a good time

Two of the known risk factors for cancer are obesity and being overweight! That means, the amount of fat in the body has an effect on developing different kinds of cancers (at least 12 obesity-related cancers have been identified already)!
Besides the amount of fat, new research showed that the location of fat also has a role in developing some kinds of cancers. For example, it is seen that abdominal fat (belly fat) increases the risk of endometrial cancer, esophageal cancer, and liver cancer.
