Fish is sourced from the sea (I think all cod is)

One pound fish, one pound fish, very, very nice.....
(Sorry, I had to) :stuck_out_tongue:

Ye of little faith...

Complimentary? They've never said anything nice about me - didn't even mention how nice my hair looked when I got my fish & chips.

Ended.

Now 2 adult meals, 2 kids meals and 4 unlimited soft drinks for £9.95. Hot drinks still free for family card holders.

Expired now.

its half price meatballs this month, 10 for 1.90 15 for 2.40

This should be marked as expired. No UK ikea store is now offering this despite it still being on the website (presumably an oversight)

Elementary business means design point for a product unit cost based on customer need (= production cost), then apply elementary economics, which is supply and demand curve, then maximise profit, which is what you are saying. This deal is a loss leader, so as to what you get for £1 , then I would be most interested to see people take snap shots of their fish and chips so as to gauge how hot this gets (obviously the more IKEA subsidise this the better the quality). You can be 100% sure that an analytics program would run on the Family Card customers to see the IKEA purchases versus meal costs subsidised.

If you're saying you get what you pay for (I didn't find your comment easy to follow) then I don't agree. Getting what you pay for is a myth. Elementary Economics teaches us that sellers will normally sell for the highest price they can and buyers will want to pay the lowest price. If they can get away with it, cheap food is sold at a high price (e.g. British supermarkets). The quality is rarely linked to the price paid.

There is £1 sourced "sea" and £10 sourced "sea", that's the smart point, you get the "sea" you pay for, namely, in elementary basics of life, caveat emptor.

​Why don't you cycle/walk then... only a few miles... then you could refuel with a bit of carbs and protein and cycle/walk back.

The pencil wont be as filling or tasty as the fish and chips, but probably has less calories and saturated fats.

Glasgow was beside the airport and iirc Liverpool is close. It was just an observation I made, I thought there was a reason behind it.

Ikea have adopted this tried and tested marketing scheme with their One Pound Fish. Other retailers should take note:

Farming salmon uses much less resources than any mammals, especially water, so I can still see the point in that.

The idea that all meat is intensively reared and that all fish happily swim free is a bit binary. By that logic, a pescatarian should prefer stalked venison to farmed salmon.

Depends how you define "close" and "a lot". If you mean "literally next door" and "more than 50%" respectively, none of the ones in England are close to airports. As for the island of Ireland, all of the stores are next door to airports ... all two of them (Belfast and Dublin). Handy if you forgot to pack the kitchen sink just before jetting off.

I've also had this offer twice, portions are small. Don't forget to ask for your lemon wedge and tartare sauce. Hot dog on the way out will fill the rest :smiley:

Notice a lot of Ikea's are close to airports? Coincidence?

Tried this last week portions pretty small, had 2 plates not the best or the worst decent and edible, great value for the money

You might be onto something though, maybe a drag-net for cows?

I've had this a couple of weeks ago I took a pic (sad person that I am) because I couldn't believe how good value for money it was, how do I post the pic? There were loads of mums with kids in tow, a cheap way to fill them all up I guess!

No one is whingeing - I am educating.

Take it with a pinch of salt.

I find the unlimited beverage with a family card highly discriminatory. What are they trying to imply?

I am a strong independent single man who don't need no woman in my life.

Yeah, but.........if you're going to the cinema at Ashton under Lyne, you could pop into Ikea before or after your film.......that makes it worth going. Get creative instead of whinging

Just apply for one in store, there is no requirement to prove your fertility, lol.
I suppose the 'family' part in in reference to the Ikea 'family'.....

​The sea(horse).

Sorry

Well don't go then! Jeez, people just come on here to whinge.....

My wild guess would be the difference between harvesting food from its the natural environment and heavily industrialized mass production of in something packed with medicines that spends entire life in a small cage knee deep in s**t.

It has always puzzled me why there are people who would eat 100 dead creatures in a prawn cocktail, but not 1/100th of a dead creature in a burger. And where does the pescatarian line fall? Are sea snails fish (like mussels) and what's the qualitative difference between a sea snail and a land snail?

my other half have them in the front garden :man:

Complimentary? They've never said anything nice about me - didn't even mention how nice my hair looked when I got my fish & chips.

Yes it can't beat a local chippy :smile: but a local chippy cant beat the price. Im always happy for a free pencil!

do you have to assemble lunch yourself?

Anyone can apply, but I am not sure if there is a minimum age limit. Yes you can use the temporary printout they give you on the day you apply.

I asked an employee at the restaurant a few weeks ago and was told everything except the chips are oven cooked- the chips are the only thing they deep fry.

Well duh. They're losing money on this deal. This is a complimentary offer that is really only meant for people who are going to go there anyway to shop for furniture and stuff.

I grow them in my back garden. My baby cods are just about to blossom at this time of the year.

Ye of little faith...

It was sauced from the ketchup bottle.

I guess some fish can be sourced from rivers and lakes as well.

Love fish on a Friday

The cost of the petrol to the IKEA even if only a few miles away immediately CANCELS OUT any benefit to be had by this meal.

No, it used to taste batter.

Never. Again.

But to be fair, they were offering 15% off.

For a pound I'm not

Something fishy going on?

Been to Ikea Fish Fridays twice this month.
It tastes ok.Local chippy ones are better but doesn't cost £1.Plus free drink,plus free wifi,plus free pencil (if you need one).:smile:

.....the sea.

Had this, it's pretty good for the price! Just to add in warrington hot chocolate is no longer free, you can have tea or basic coffee with the card, if you want a hot chocolate or a latte, they are 40p via a token if you have a family card

:laughing:

Me too. Even before, during and after the horsemeat scandal. I had some in the freezer bought before and still ate them.
I have neiggghghhhh problem with them

Learn something new every day. I didn't know they could farm cod. Thanks!

Fish is a meat product...

1 pound fish. Very very nice, very very good 1 pound fiiiiish!!

Do IKEA fry their fish with their meat products or separately?

Not necessarily, it could have been sourced from a fish farm, if so it would be a bit of a stretch to say the fish came from the sea.

...

all you need to do is find a machine (there everywhere... 2 walking into the cafe) sign up with all your details... print a temporary card whilst they post one out to you in the meantime. free tea and coffee Monday to Friday as well as discounts on certain meals with family card... ohhh actually when I first signed up (I was single at the time and only 21) I got a free gift... nothing amazing but sinse I have received £5 vouchers twice.

Thanks. Ill take the other half for a cheap dinner date :sunglasses:

One pound fish, one pound fish, very, very nice.....
(Sorry, I had to) :stuck_out_tongue:

What's the criteria to qualify for a family card, and can the family card be used on the day you pick it up? BTW I'm single no kids!

I tried this last week and actually thought that this was great. Tasted fine and Im a fussy eater.

I always loved their meatballs!

food from a furniture store can't be rated well. what next? circumcisions at Argos?

Until 29 April

I didn't realise Ikea restaurants closed so early.

So one Friday then :man:

Unlimited ketchup :laughing: what about catsup? :man:

Unlimited tea/coffee is free with a family card not 50p . Meal for two for £2 . You can't complain . Fish tasted fine

Only until 29th April in my nearest Ikea

I would be very concerned where the fish was sourced from.....

Couldn't resist a deal and tried this the other week. Fish was disgusting. I'm sure it used to taste better.

looks like a school dinner...

Fish is sourced from the sea (I think all cod is)

good find op, heat added
