The Drawbridge (Flaming Grill), Shirley, 24/04/15


The Flaming Grill pubs are very standard, cheap pubs but the food is great value for money and they usually have so many offers making it a very reasonably priced meal - perfect for those week nights when you can't be bothered to cook! They have a varied menu with so much choice and have so many good offers throughout the week, on a Monday-Thursday 12-4pm they do two courses for only £4.99, on Mondays you can upgrade to any King Size dish for free, on a Tuesday you can buy any Grill or Steak and add any drink for just £1, Wednesdays you can buy a burger and add a drink for £1, Thursdays kids eat for £1, Fridays a pudding is £2 when bought with a main course and on a Sunday they do a roast dinner. Therefore, they have something for everyone and the offers make the meal fantastic value. They also do Challenge meals where if you manage to eat it in the time limit you get the meal free!


Tom and I went on a Friday evening and therefore it was pretty busy, there was a lot of drinkers and eaters, it was actually quite hard to find a table. The restaurant/pub is very clean and tidy and has a family-friendly atmosphere to it. We found a table, noted the table number and looked at the menu, they have so many different options, Burgers, Steaks, Grills, Salads, Sandwiches etc. I've been eating healthy recently and didn't want to ruin that, even though it would be very easy to at his sort of pub, there is a lot of temptation!

I eventually decided, which takes a while as the menu is huge! You have to order all your food and drinks at the bar, it may of been very busy but they managed to serve us quickly which was impressive.

8oz Rump Steak - Medium Rare, Jacket Potato, Side Salad 
£10.95

























This was such good value! I didn't expect the best steak in the world for £10 but it was very good and cooked to my preference, Medium Rare - which is good. They offer so many different choices with the steaks, you choose what you want it served with: Fries, Jacket Potato, Chips, Mash etc and then you choose a side: Salad, Coleslaw, Peas or Beans, you can then pick a sauce with it from Diane, Chilli, Garlic, Cuban, Peppercorn or Hot Chilli Sauce and lastly you can add extras to it including, Ribs, Mushrooms etc. Such good value for £10! You couldn't get that in many places.

It was very tasty, the steak was actually cooked very well, I liked the presentation with the steak and onions on a sizzling plate and the jacket potato and side salad on the other half, the cold side. I liked this and it kept my steak nice and hot. The jacket potato was cooked very well too, the side salad was a generous portion and tasted fresh, the whole meal was very good and we had a 20% off voucher, making the whole meal £14 for both of us! Which is such a bargain - I have no complaints!

A very good meal, very simple and cheap but if you want an easy week night place to - The Flaming Grill Pubs are perfect for this, don't expect amazing food but you will leave satisfied and full!
