Thanks Rob I’ve never been to the States so I couldn’t say, however Simon has and he said the States were better. 😋😋

[@robbflynn4325]

​@Stockybloke, my favorite place to eat over here is the Outback. Similar sort of menu to this one. It's part of a chain, and the food is always good and reasonably priced. Their 16 oz slow roasted prime rib is to die for, and it melts in the mouth. They serve it with an amazing jus sauce. I always order mine medium rare with fries and Caesar salad, which is huge in itself. The best $30 you can spend. 😋

[@Stockybloke]

@@robbflynn4325 that sounds absolutely delicious Rob love to review that, maybe one day 🤞🤞

Hi John You’re alright mate. It is a bit pricey, however I think you get what you pay for and this place is worth a little bit extra, because the food was outstanding. As was the service.👍👍

About time they paid for there own Stocky! That’s how it should be every time unless special occasions 😊

It’s my hobby and I really enjoy their company when they join me. Sometimes they wouldn’t be able to join me if I didn’t pay. However, to me it’s well worth it just to have either or both of them together on my channel.👍👍

Free water is now a thing ! Is water at the table not normally free ? Was it not just tap water in a fancy bottle ? I think that place was originally the Farmers Arms pub ? Were you a regular in the Church House in Bollington ?

@@Stockybloke The guy that owns the Snap Tin used to run the Boars Head in Higher Poynton. The Boars Head always had really good food but the landlord (Gordon) was pushed out by the brewery who wanted to turn the pub into somewhere more "trendy".
