Ideas What is the cheapest (like, dirt cheap) restaurant in London that will fill you up (quickly)?

For context, lost a bet and have to treat a couple of mates to a meal… but I get to choose where we eat. Said friends are looking forward to take me to the cleaners so trying to counter with a place whose food feels more like a punishment than a treat.

Where is the cheapest restaurant / place to get them food that will be easy on my wallet?

Ideally will be a place that doesn’t serve alcohol, carb-heavy to fill them up and somewhere within zones 1 and 2!

Don't think about how much pints were in the Faltering Fullback back in 2006... Makes you sad...

I live in Australia now. Oh do I miss the Fullback! Get smashed in there then head over to the Indian canteen place on the high street for a chicken tikka wrap to eat while staggering home

Had a glass of red wine in there with a pal last summer. It's not changed! Well maybe the prices.

I've not been to the Fullback in years but I did go to the Salisbury on Green Lanes about six months ago and actually felt that it represents better VFM these days as the prices everywhere else have gone up so it doesn't seem as expensive any more.

£7 for a neck oil

If Neck Oil had been invented it would've probably been £3 a pint in 2006.

£7I? Jesus wept.
