Since there are many Britons here...
I'm thinking about taking a 1 week vacation in London sometime in January. I was wondering if anyone knows the approximate price of the following:
A fastfood meal for two (McDonalds or something similar)
Indian or Chinese takeout for two
Fish & Chips for two
A beer in a pub
A meal in a pub
A meal at an average "sit down" restaurant
A meal at a nice restaurant

Re: Cost of food in London
Assuming an Exchange rate of £1 = $1.61 or $1 = £0.61881:
A fastfood meal for two (McDonalds or something similar) - about £8 / $13
Indian or Chinese takeout for two - about £15/£20 / $25/$32
Fish & Chips for two - about £10 / $16
A beer in a pub - really depends on which chain of pubs but on average in London about £3.50 / $5.50
A meal in a pub - for 1 person? Anywhere between £5 to £15 / $8 to $25
A meal at an average "sit down" restaurant - for one person? Subjective and can range from £20 to £30 / $32/$48
A meal at a nice restaurant - You talking a high profile west end restaurant? £100+ / $160+
PM me for anything further
I work in London and know it quite well.

Re: Cost of food in London
I appreciate the info Harry, I heard that food in the UK is quite a bit more expensive than in the U.S, but these prices (while higher than what I find where I live) are pretty comparable to NYC, for example.
