Large portions of food

Visited a lovely pub restaurant recently but the portion on my plate was one of the largest I have ever seen. I like to see what is on the plate with the meat/fish surrounded by the vegetables. This was piled so high it was impossible to see what was what! Yes it is difficult for restaurants to please everyone but I just found it so off putting. On this occasion it even beat Mr J and that is saying something! Lovely as the pub was I just can't face visiting again. Would you find large portions like this not right for you?

There was an article on TV recently where a landlord who has a carvery, is going to issue fines to people who pile their plates so high, then leave half of it. I think he said people were welcome to go back for more vegetables, but he is sick of the wasted good food he has to throw away.

I agree, it’s shameful

We usually share a meal when we go out. Maybe have a starter between us and if room after the shared main course, depending on what is on the menu, we might have dessert too.

It's to do with the sort of people that go to the wedding. I'd wonder why the bride and groom have rude friends.
I would suspect any holiday resort hotel especially if part of a cheap package tour. I suppose you get what you pay for.
