Frankie & Bennys

I've never been before to this place, but, yesterday, as it was next to the Cinema, and it was the good lady's birthday, we popped in to have a meal. Had Mac & Cheese for her, and a burger & fries for moi. Both were excellent. We then had apple pie with custard and vanilla ice cream to follow, which was delicious. As I had a Groupon voucher, it was just £19.99 for us both. Certainly was a good deal, and worth trying out.

Re: Frankie & Bennys

Same here too. There's one next to the cinema I go to but I've never been in. We choose McDonald's next door because it's cheaper.
I always buy a bag of Revels for the film though

Aren't they expensive though, John? You pay about a fiver for half a dozen jelly babies! It's got to be a good film to warrant that.

Oops, I'm digressing. Back to Frankie & Benny's before the finger-wagging ladies tell me off...

I'm often tempted to buy their ice-cream tub when doing the weekly Tesco Shop, but then gulp at the price of it and how much less in the tub there is compared to my usual ice-cream and never buy it. I've been told it does taste really delicious though.

Re: Frankie & Bennys

Frankie & Bennys is good for a meal out after or before the cinema. We used to go in there quite a bit even if it was just for a coffee or a desert.

Frankie & Bennys is British and gets excellent reviews, McDonalds is American and doesn't.

You get what you pay for …..
