Slimming World Restaraunt!!

[dreamslim]

The only times I'd want to eat in a SW-friendly restaurant is when I'm being forced to eat out and have no choice in the matter - and at those times, I wouldn't have a choice in which restaurant we went to either. I can't see my relatives, for example, choosing to go to a SW restaurant rather than TGI Fridays, lol.

If I'm choosing to go out, I want to have a treat and a meal I wouldn't cook at home! So I wouldn't choose a SW restaurant in those circumstances either

I see you point here but I eat out quite often with the OH coz he just likes eating out and doesn't want to eat sw style meals at home. Therefore I gotta be careful where we go and it'd be much less hassle is there was a place where he can eat what he wants and I know what syns I'm eating rather than guesstimating. Lol.

Me and my OH went to a lovely place in
Frodsham for a meal lastnight. Their head chef is a target member and created a slimming world menu.

Not a great deal choice but we ate out, socialised, left stuffed and all for ONE syn!

Quite a few places where I live offer a slimming world menus. One chinese takeaway has a list of about 10 starters and 20 main courses with syn values posted on its wall. Great choice!

Id love to know too as we visit Frodsham sometimes would be nice to have another place to go to

Harvester years ago used to put syn values on their menu, I think it would be great as I cook some great meals, often just adapted from "normal" recipes but without using oil to cook, if restaurants told you they didn't use oil or fats to cook in it would be brilliant x

a slimming world takeaway drive thru would be brilliant!

We have an Indian restaurant and take away that will do a SW curry for you if you ask. They will do syn free if they can and very low syn if they can't do a syn free one.

We have one

I live in a town called Loughborough in Leicestershire and we have a small cafe here called saints and sinners. They serve SW food and tell you the syns value as well as the sinners part being for people who aren't dieting. They are doing really well!

Where about is it? Is it new, I used to live in Loughborough until last August. Pop back occasionally so would be good to know where that is.

Yeah ours is called Skinnimalinx. They do SW syns and WW points on everything, syn free and no points soups and warm meals every day, and low syn cakes and coffees. It's pretty good! They just started doing business lunch deliveries as they're in the business district of town and they're planning to open franchises.

Wow! I went in for the first time the other day and it was amazing! I had a syn free cottage pie and it was one of the best I've ever had! it was completely empty the whole time I was there though so I was a little worried it wasn't doing too well

 

[bexiboo87]

I think it would be a great idea!!

i went there today and was amazed to find it closed, saturday lunch time would be a really busy time for them i would think, maybe it has ceased business, shame as it has taken me ages to locate it, went to red hot world instead in Liverpool 1, dread to think of my syn intake in there!!!. xxx

Red hot is disgusting, diet or not! I tend to get freshly cooked noodles with loads of veg and beef from there but it's just awful compared to Wagamama next door.
Apparently skinnimalinx is gonna start opening on Saturdays again, they just stopped doing for the winter cos they had no business

Seems at first like a good idea but what I think would be better would be if restaurants picked a few dishes off their menu and modified them to fit in with the SW eating plans and synned them. It wouldn't take much to do and would probably just mean a slightly different version of the sauces they use which cut down or cut out the fats and sugars. Most of us tend to modify our own traditional recipes at home to fit with our eating plan don't we! So chefs in restaurants should have no trouble. I make the pizzas with the warburtons thins and make it into garlic bread with grated garlic and frylight and I enjoy that 10 times more than the deep pan super supreme I used to adore at a fraction of the syns.

The thing with that is, unless you go to a more expensive restaurant they tend to use the cheapest ingredients they can get and these are always the fattiest. So with that cheaper restaurants just wouldn't do it and more expensive restaurants would charge even more for their, already over inflated, meals.

I would love a proper SW restaurant ...I don't really enjoy cooking so it would be useful for me A local shop here has a big deli counter and they actually have a couple of SW syn-free meals (and a few with syns too) but I haven't tried any of them yet.

I'd be happy with a bit more information on menus. You go out for a meal and there's a Healthy Alternatives or Lite Bites or something section of the menu so you have a look and think oh chicken salad, that's good, then it arrives covered in dressing, with croutons and you haven't a clue if the chicken's been cooked with oil. My local Indian has a Healthy section where they say they use less fat etc., maybe they'd be interested in a copy of the SW curry cookbook! X
