No kitchen for 10 days, Sainsburys Cafe review

 From  my previous posts, while our kitchen extension has been happening, we have now reached 10 days without a kitchen/cooker/cupboards etc.
I was initially quite happy about not cooking, but as the first few days passed and we all tired of ready meals and takeaways, am now changing my views.

Anyway, we went to Sainsbury's Cafe yesterday evening. H works late, so his curry/rice was at home (courtesy our lovely friends).
Our regular haunt is Morrisons Cafe, the Rubery one is lovely, fantastic staff, but the main thing is good
food at incredible prices.
More on that in another post.
This was the new Longbridge Sainsbury's, built on the old MG Rover site. First pic is a huge wall with timelines including Rover.
Cafe deserted at 5:45pm. Until we left.
This pic is a kids meal of sausages and mash. All hot kids meals and lunch bags are £3. Half a jacket is £1.70. Adult meals are around the £5ish mark.
Drinks - Tea for a pound, coffee a couple of pounds something. Slice of  fudge cake £1.50.
Kids meals come with a piece of fruit and a drink.
Our kids were ravenous, so wolfed this down, then remarked that the Morrisons sausages were much larger. Fact.
Overall ok. I cannot help comparing it to Morrisons where there is a larger variety of children's meals, kids eat free with an adult meal, get a bag of cut fruit, chocolate, activity pack and a drink for £2.50.
We are regular weekly shoppers at Sainsbury's, probably go to the cafe once a year. Regular monthly eaters (at least the children are) at Morrisons Rubery, as a result tend to do lots of shopping when we go there.........more on our eating for this week in another post.
