decent steak (in stevenage)
 
why is stevenage such a gastronomic black hole ? huh? anyone know? all i want to do is go out for lunch and have a decent steak, but i fear wherever i go it will be some horrible cooked from frozen abomination. are there *any* chain type restaurants where they serve even half decent meat?

Try the Billet pub by Pin Green. Its a Hungry Horse pub which normally puts people off, but they do some really nice food, for a decent price and the drinks are pretty cheap too.

But if your looking for the ultimate in steak meals......try Cody's steak house. Its just round the back of the Leisure Park and does the best steak in Stevenage. Not sure if their open lunch times, but if you want a dinner, then i would definetely recommend there!!

One other i forgot about was Frankie and Bennys in the Leisure park. They do a great garlic steak, and the nicest cocktails too!! I can never go in there without having at least 5 cosmopolitans!!

tried f&b's the other day - was a bit unimpressed with the portions; but then i'm a greedy b*stard.

Dont like to agree, but the size of the steak and the amount of chips they give you there i felt was massive!!! Maybe next time you should order two!! lol

Frankie and Benny's chips are superb ;)

ProperCharlie 16 March 2004 06:54 PM

i really didn't rate f&b's. been there twice and wasn't very impressed either time. seemed like one step above wetherspoons food.

today ended up having quite a reasonable steak in the marquis of granby.

There's a pub out of town I've eaten at, called The Chimneys or The Crowns or something, on the road out of town towards stanstead/Colchester.

I first glimpsed this thread yesterday and I swore it said decent "teak" in Stevenage and then I see 14 replies, Feck me they know their woodin Stevenage LOL :D

Lol, I never actually read the thread as previously titled, but at the time I thought I might post a misunderstanding-type message along the lines of steak. :D
