Was at the Jolly on Wed evening. Pretty much rammed between 6 and 8. Decent fare, big portions and a steal at just about every main under 15 including my 14incher, of which I gave two-thirds awy to my son as I really dont doo food and beer.
Think it was almost 40yrs since I was last in. Need to do it again.

Fair play for staying and eating some of it, you sound a bit like my grandad, but he would just leave and go to the pub.

Don't think it's changed much in 40 years and that's part of the charm.
They do a really cheap lunch menu and were years ahead of the game with log fired pizza as well.
Aye, missus said something about the log-fired oven, oldest in the city/Scotland maybe, dunno as I wasn't particualrly paying attention. Tell you one ting though, I bet they've got the A&E on speed dial for those steps down to the toilet!

I actually can't be arsed with owners/managers or whatever floating about being over familiar in a restraunt, feel like that's an Italian thing.
There's this wee old guy at the Italian near me and he'll pull a chair up and start waffling shite and you feel you have to humour him when really I want to tell him to fuck off and pester someone else
Was in my online bank account transferring a hunner to my mate for the 3 semi tix and noticed I was only charged 40 for the meal, like eh! When he presented teh bill it was all done in long hand more or less. We had agreed to split it two ways, so hes standind there with his wee machine and I'm saying out loud we'll bump it up to 160 with the tip and split it 80each. Now wondering it he picked me up wrong and only changed us half price, lol. Or, perhaps my mate got the full whack, and I paid him another extra 40. Need to check.
