Drive thru perfect when you have kids and on a long journey. 5 minutes stop instead of 30 minutes and 10 minutes of peace.

Brilliant - makes sense now (although Google came up with both!) I follow in my father's footsteps of inserting incorrect words into songs!

We have to take food with us everywhere (my youngest is coeliac too). The options in and around the stadium are shite.

Further afield Playwrights is brilliant (we go there sometimes) and Golden Cross in town is really good.

First time I tried it a few years ago I liked it a lot, but we visited the one in Cathedral Lanes the other week and it was rubbish. Place itself felt bare and shabby as well, just a pickup point for Deliveroo now. Not bothering again

Less riff raff in the car than in the restaurant for us sociopaths who’d rather eat it in the car.

I hate drive through restaurants, a ridiculous import from America. Why the fuck do people use a drive through and then sit in their car in the car park eating it. There are tables and chairs inside you know.

It doesn't matter whether you eat the food inside the restaurant or in you car in the car park - the food is shit!

They certainly have. They have them all over Europe. The quality of the food is much better than in the UK. But that's the same for most places. Cheaper in the UK for a reason. Quantity and price over quality. Same as the USA.

Yes and now starting to appear in French motorway services- places where you could get really nice fresh meals for a decent price - and a beer or wine with it! . Soon will be all gone once the US fast food places take over.

I wouldn’t say the cost of food in the UK is cheap. I’d say it’s more expensive.

At Tesco this morning, if you’re one to consider using this car park on match days I’d strongly consider alternatives.

Because who the f*ck actually wants to sit in fast food place? Sticky tables, screaming kids and the manbag wearing, scooter riding dregs.

I want to sit in a nice pub/restaurant, fast food places are for when I'm lazy or hungover. Pick it up, drive home.

Not sure really why anyone would want to use these unhealthy obesity inducing American shitholes. Just get a bit of toast or a bacon sarnie at home.

The cost of eating irradiated shit is colon, stomach and associated cancers virtually unheard of in non-industrialised societies.

Regularly seems to be units sat empty for long periods of time. Makes it seem slightly odd to be building additional units. Not sure opening a Five Guys next to a Burger King and a Popeyes Chicken next to a Bucks Chicken is the best planning tbh.

If they couldn't make the one in town work when it was surrounded by student accommodation not sure they'll make a go of one on the retail park. Isn't there a new gym opening at the ground as well?

Five Guys is actually pretty cheap if you just get a normal burger, instead of the double burger. For some reason the standard burger is called a "Little Burger" making it sound like it's for kids. I think it's about £6. As poster said above though, quality not great.

That's just about the going rate for one off the outside kiosks isn't it.

I dunno. I want to eat the food whilst it's hot. I don't want to plate anything up. And there's earphones to mute the screaming kids.

Not closing the road off, just someone who can't draw properly.

Tbf I always wondered why they felt like 2 would work in what is a notoriously small city centre. It can't be more than 10 minute walk from Bishop Street to the Sky Dome, even students can manage that!
