Favourite Chain Restaurant

[Tank Girl]

Yeah, like in Wimpy

or starburger

 

[El Jefe]

Define fast food, then. They're Pizza shops!

my definition of fast food DOESN'T include table service, a wine service, 3 courses, coffee, wine lists etc etc etc.

pizza express
la tasca
gourmet burger kitchen
nando's

What she said.

And I love the last poll option

 

[harpo]

Strada is ACE. They do the best deserts. Hot chocolate pudding with gooey melted chocolate inside, served with lovely vanilla icecream. Yum yum YUMMMM
They also do great fish dishes.

They certainly do. I am salivating now at the thought of their seafood tagilatelle with chilli tomato sauce. Wine list is decent too.

 

[Griff]

Only really like Pizza Express as far as the chains go.

Went into an Ask once and it was shite. We don't have many chains where we are, apart from an Ask and the experience of going in one of those a few years back has put me trying the one in town.

 

[cliche guevara]

Wagamama from that list, although it's often really noisy. Central are good, from my limited experience (one place).

 

[rutabowa]

I've heard of the top two only, but they are fast food, surely?

i bet you've heard of such a thing as a "pub/restaurant".

Bella Pasta? Are you sure?

It's Pizza Hut.

 

[kabbes]

Wagamama
Pizza Express
Cafe Rouge

All good.

Nandos is alright but also a bit shit, to be honest.

 

[cliche guevara]

Nando's is okay, but I wish they'd 'man up' and make some real hot sauce.

 

[quimcunx]

Strada.

The seafood risotto at the Wimbledon branch is especially lovely. Even more so when Stefano is there and gives 20% discount in exchange for a little light champissage.

Ask is bloody awful.

at tirannau option.

 

[El Jefe]

Bella Pasta? Are you sure?

It's Pizza Hut.

Ok, long time since I've been to Bella Pasta, but certainly Pizza Express is NOT fast food

 

[danny la rouge]

i bet you've heard of such a thing as a "pub/restaurant".

Yes, I have.

 

[cliche guevara]

Nandos is alright but also a bit shit, to be honest.

What do you mean by this? I quite like the food, but the restaurants are tacky and the service is often shit.

 

[danny la rouge]

Pizza Express is NOT fast food

Well, it's a long time since I've been in one, but it was fast food.

 

[quimcunx]

I spit on everyone who voted Pizza Express.


Over-rated rubbish.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I've heard of the top two only, but they are fast food, surely?

Fast food for me is MaccyD's, Burger King type 'restaurants' rather than ones where you sit down and order food. Though I would agree that the quality of the food and, to a certain extent service, i.e. Pasta previously known as Pizza Hut , can shove things into the fast food territory.

Nando's, for me, would be fast food but Pizza Express and Bella Pasta not

 

[El Jefe]

Well, it's a long time since I've been in one, but it was fast food.

Was there no table service, wine list, 3 courses etc?

 

[Relahni]

Giraffe are also good.

You think so?

I think they are very overpriced. We only go because kids can shout and scream there.

 

[rutabowa]

Yes, I have.

ahha then i caught you out because you see you said you had only heard of the top 2 options.

 

[danny la rouge]

Was there no table service, wine list, 3 courses etc?

There's table service and courses in Pizza Hut.

 

[Kanda]

I think Nando's is fucking fowl!!

 

[El Jefe]

Christ, I haven't heard of half of these.

Maybe I'm more like Tarannau than I care to admit

 

[El Jefe]

There's table service and courses in Pizza Hut.

oh come on, you're being fucking obtuse.

 

[danny la rouge]

ahha then i caught you out because you see you said you had only heard of the top 2 options.

I've heard of pubs that sell food, but I'm not familiar with the chain mentioned.

 

[danny la rouge]

oh come on, you're being fucking obtuse.

I'm saing that I can't tell the difference between Pizza Express and Pizza Hut. If you can explain it, I'll be delighted.

 

[quimcunx]

oh come on, you're being fucking obtuse.

I prefer Pizza Hut to Pizza Fucking Express.

 

[cesare]

Wagamama
Pizza Express
Cafe Rouge

All good.

Nandos is alright but also a bit shit, to be honest.

Thank goodness. Someone else apart from me likes Café Rouge.

 

[Pip]

In the Covent Garden Nandos they do cocktails, and there's a really cute waiter who looks about 12 who always gives us these underground booths and free frozen yoghurt

 

[Kanda]

I'm saing that I can't tell the difference between Pizza Express and Pizza Hut. If you can explain it, I'll be delighted.

It's called Pasta Hut!!!
