Maybe, but he hardly featured after that, and there he is bouncing about, forced his way to front  in between the actual Leicester players like a nob

 

I find Ben Chilwell very central in the picture more offensive than Dyer. At least he played and scored for us during the 38-game season

I think Grove farm has been closed down for environmental health reasons. 

 

Not a big fan of Roast dinners but if I was going to have one the places I would go would be. 

 

The Forge 

The Shires (Peatling Parva)

1573 or whatever it is near the highcross.

 

 

I can vouch for this.

Grove Farm has been back open for a while. Went the other day.

 

It was no better or worse than any Toby Carvery or similar.

 

Generic chain.

 

Grove Farm is a chain right? This is to be expected.

 

I prefer toby if I'm honest, better roast.

I went a few Sunday's ago, I could barely move after eating the giant Roast, the amount of meat given was ridiculous even for a man of my carriage.

That's what I figured, but you guys have got a month to have it happen or I'm coming for you all and I'm going to...

 

...well, rant about it on here again, I suppose. :D

I need to move money from the UK frequently and used to use my US bank which was a big mistake. On top of the posted rate they take a chunk for themselves. I have been using Transferwise.com for months and they have saved me hundreds of pounds.

 

It's owned by one of the guys who started Skype and backed by Richard Branson.

 

I have moved thousands of pounds this year and have found it takes 2-3 business days.

Sounds like you were in a right pickle...

A place gets closed down and reopened, especially a national chain, I'd expect it to be working ****ing hard to make sure it doesn't happen again.

What's it like there? I only live a 5 minute drive from it and have never tried it.

 

Like every other carvery / chain pub. 

 

Matt is right, the portions are very generous. You won't come away thinking you've had the best pub grub ever, I definitely prefer the Observatory in the same area and price range (although obviously you can't get a carvery there.)

 

But it's okay. 7/10?

Wymsey stating children should be chained down going completely unnoticed 

Yeah not happy with this. When I go out for a meal with the kids, I encourage them to sit at someone else's table so I can eat in peace. It's good for their social skills :ph34r:

I like the observatory, not been for a while but I remember they used to give you unlimited chips.

...the wife washes all the towels - but doesn't replace them. So I step out of the shower dripping wet and no towel on the rail. So I have to trapse across the landing soaking the carpet, to get to the airing cupboard and find a fresh towel. You had one job love. One job...
