Nowadays, I can cope with eating at restaurants that have communal tables, though I still struggle to understand why people would want to rub elbows at the dinner table with Tom, Dick and Harry. I mean, in any other situation you'd want strangers seated as far away from you as possible... anyone who's travelled on public transport could empathise on that point. Therefore, if I'm paying for a meal, I want a table to myself, thank you!
As a uni student (or indeed a salaried slave), you can eat like a king at Thresherman's. Servings are large and the prices are cheap; even better, the quality is pretty good, too. I was curious to see if things had changed since I last visited there 12 odd years ago.
Happily, very little, if any, has changed. I was very glad that two items that we ate on a regular basis were still available, still tasted good and still at a good price. I got both as a takeaway to share with the Lawyer as a nostalgic foodie trip. The slice of lasagna is now around $10 - it's still meaty, cheesy and filling. Good times!
And we couldn't eat the lasagna without having a piece of the chocolate mud cake as dessert. Equally, this hasn't changed - it's still big, fudgey and moist. So good!
Verdict
Overall
It's good to know that some things never change. My only regret is that I don't live, work or study near Thresherman's anymore. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and you're not up for over-priced Italian food in nearby Lygon Street.Find it at
