Caesar Salad

The Ship, Mirfield (a hungry horse!)

Good honest value. Steaks well under a tenner, wine under £6 for a reasonable red. Asked if the chicken Caesar salad could be turned into an ordinary caesar salad and reduced from £5-99 to a lower figure and was told no.

Nachos with beef chilli starter for one person actually fed 4 people.

Steaks were fine, one rare, one medium. I turned my vegetables into a side salad when ordering as caesar wasn't available but the side salad was a mass of shredded lettuce topped by an onion ring, a quarter tomato and single slice of cucumber. Asked for dressing or oil for the salad and was told we don't have oil (!). Plates were huge and filled with food. Far too much for a normal person. Lots left. Nice place, pleasant staff and reasonable food but the emphasis on quantity and little flexibility. Fed 4 people for £50 and some other places I've visited can't do 2 for that price.
