[QUOTE="Scimama, post: 1097347, member: 110645"] I often go to cheap and cheerful chain 'restaurants', typically family friendly places, most have salads that are about the same as the main courses, but many will change things for you if you ask, as a veggie there is typically less choice but I often request different combinations of items such as changing the sides around or making a starter into a main course portion. Places such as Frankie and Bennys, Prezzo, Pizza Express, Giraffe etc all do salads that are or can be adapted (e.g.no/swap dressing) and all for same price or less as the high carb main courses. Many places especially pubs do mixed grill, just ask if you can swap the chips for a bit of salad or veg, carvers can be a good option too just skip the high carb options and fill up on the lower carb veg. Even fish and chip shops can be adapted, have the fish and take it out of the batter and skip the chips. A regular haunt is Harvester (they do vary immensely - some are excellent, most good, some horrendous!) but they have on their menu an option to swap the carbs, I always swap for green beans. They have roast chicken, lamb, etc as options. Salad bar is included so I find it easy to find a low carb option all for under £10 :) Giraffe has a special no bun section where the fries are swapped for salad or edame [/QUOTE]
