I'm sure everyone has noticed how early places close around here. Even some of the restaurants will stop serving food by dinnertime and turn into bars. This makes eating late very difficult. Plus, everything here is so expensive. If you have my problem, you automatically double the price to think of it in US dollars. (Which I know isn't a good idea but I can't seem to make myself stop.)
Tonight, though, we went to a really awesome place to eat. It is called the Red Lion and I recommend it to anyone looking for a tasty meal without spending a fortune. Most of us ordered roast, a jacket (baked potato), salad, and a drink for less than 4 pounds! That is pretty amazing considering that everything here, with the exception of Morton's, is so expensive.
If you want to try it out, take a right out of Trinity and walk down Broad Street, crossing over Cornmarket. Broad Street will turn into George Street and keep walking down until you get to Jamie's and Old Orleans (both on the right). Take a right between those two restaurants and the Red Lion will be right in front of you.
It is perfect for those of us on a budget!

The red lion was probably one of the most satisfying meals I have had in England. I think the combination of not having anxiety about the price while eating and good food makes it a dinning experience.
The food at the Red Lion is really good! Awesome suggestion!
I've been wondering about that restaurant. Lately I have stopped converting the pounds to dollars, but then when I check my bank account, the reality of the weak dollar hits me in the face! Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to check it out!
Great suggestion! I had dinner at the Red Lion last week and it was great. A really satisfying meal for a really cheap price- can't be beat!
A side-note: The Red Lion turns into an upscale club full of people who stare at under-dressed tourists right about 9:00.
