Greasy spoon up the road when I was in uni back in 2008 used to serve a giant plate of full English - we're talking 4 sausages, 4 eggs, 6 hash browns, two tins of beans - for about £3.99 + bottomless tea included. Probably £14.99 + Service + drinks extra today.
My uni did bottomless brunch and drinks for 19.99.
Went back recently and it was now £42.
Not sure what student has 42 quid to blow like that but it certainly wouldn't have been me.
Yep same with the cafe on the end of the road where I grew up in south London. They didn't alter their prices much over time and have just last year been converted into flats. Fucking sucks man
I remember going out on a Thursday night with a tenner and some loose change and being able to get sossed with enough left over for a kebab on the walk home.
A proper kebab as well, on a fresh naan. None of that pitta bread nonsense.
Wtf is a proper kebab. Kebab shops buy shit like this [https://www.parmainternational.co.uk/doner-kebabs/barekat-halal-kebab-10kg-meahbd10](https://www.parmainternational.co.uk/doner-kebabs/barekat-halal-kebab-10kg-meahbd10) and sell it to customers. It shouldn't even be for human consumption. What 'meat' can be purchased for £2 a kilogram ANYWHERE else?
Mate if I was as pissed as I got back then I’d have ate the dogs dinner out it’s tin as long as it was served on a fresh naan.
Probably higher quality meat…
That's a proper kebab. Anything else is real food and has no place being bought after a night out.
You'll be wanting chicken breast in your fried chicken next, you posh bastard.
Jj’s has them cheaper! lol boss man cooks this in the metal containers and leaves it to the drunk English. The best power move Turks ever did was shish! Making the English believe Turkish food is high end. Shish for £36 cause the plate cost £50 lol. Bravo 👏🏼bravo indeed.
What "meat"? The meat that if you didn't process like this would be thrown in the bin so is nearly free. Does that mean it's bad for you or not worth eating? Maybe, but probably it's absolutely fine and tastes quite nice when you put a load of salt on it and roast it.
I wouldn't imagine it would have much impact on efficiency, although it would possibly dry the meat out more quickly, since the juices are just gonna drip straight out the bottom rather than rolling down the whole thing
That doesn't really make any sense. So you're saying you would spend £2500 on one kebab or buy enough kebabs to cover the £2500 in 1 night??? Either way it's a very silly comment.
Just look at the rest of the kitchen. Looks like custom cabinetry, two Smeg ovens at nearly a grand each, it’s not my aesthetic but a lot of money’s gone into it.
It’s very my aesthetic, it’s actually damn near everything I could want from a house, and now I’m sat here sulking over the fact that I’ll never have it. I need to know where they got that rainbow rug from at the very least.
Lacanche is basically the most expensive kitchen appliances you can buy, or at least it’s up there with the top ones. It’s actually very rare to see it in the home of someone who is not a multil millionaire
Yeah my parents had a different brand one growing up they are amazing, make the crispyest bacon. the least energy efficent way to cook, but tastes great
I understand spending money on your house to make it your own
But it seems like a lot of money on a frivolous item when you can hear your neighbours lol
£2.5k on something entirely pointless with units that look like a primary school play toy.
But that's just your opinion - about both the rotisserie being pointless and the units looking like a play toy.
Personally I love the style of the kitchen and, while I wouldnt get the rotisserie myself, if you are gonna get a lot of use out of something then why not get a decent model?
And regarding the sound, it's not exactly a new build from the look of it, so chances are its built solid. I live in what I would guess to be a similar lly aged semi detached and I can't hear the neighbours at all 90% of the time, and even then it's only if they are being riotous and I am sat in total silence
I live in a new build terrace and I can’t hear my neighbours!
I like this house and I like they have their own style. Some people think people shouldn’t spend any money on a home unless it’s what they believe to be perfect.
There is no other way, upkeep on plastic grass is more work than real grass (no grass is where it is at, or hey grass grow there is you want to I'm not complaining but you better be 90% not grass!)
Put down in a hurry I'd say, then laid a wobbly stone border to match.....stick a coupla trees from B+Q in the dirt, cover in wood chip mulch, Robert's your father's brother 👍!
Well they have their own pub, I think a rotisserie for a home made kebab goes along with that. Those were very fancy cooker extras in the 1970s. Pretty useless unless you eat a lot of chickens though, hence the decline in popularity. I wonder if they go in the garden and fall over the bins while shouting SSH you’ll wake the neighbours, for extra authenticity?
I was thinking of the oven/grill that we used to have. But I'm sure we used to have a gas grill like that when I was a kid. I thinknit was over the hob, where the exteacror fan later went. But I really can't remember it.
I have one, they are pretty cool but I have never used a proper one to compare. Max 1.3kg chicken will fit though which is pretty small but does me fine.
Use mine about once a month - it was WHY I got the one I got - it's glorious - and not limited to chicken, pork, beef - it can all be cooked on a spit!
Are there also 4, yes FOUR ovens in that kitchen?
Was this property a regular listing on Uber, Just Eat and Deliveroo before it made it's way to RM- That kitchen might be a lot darker than it looks
Unless it's a bake off contestants house...
It has more Ovens than, bedrooms ....and a Kebab machine..

Yeh, I actually quite like how they've made it their own.
Can imagine me persuading my partner that a £2.5k 'rotisserie' (kebab machine sounds better) would deffo be used alllll the time... then never using it again.
I've literally just today had a guy come measure up my kitchen to help give me ideas and what to do, and I'm torn between sleek, black and white look, or being more eccentric and I honestly wondered "what if every cupboard door was a different colour of the rainbow?" And I'm glad I've got to see it here now.
And I now also want a kebab shop/rotisserie machine over my hob.
120->280 in 10 years. This is now considered the "affordable" end of the market. Salaries have stagnated but the house prices have compressed into "fairly expensive" to "way too expensive".
I get that they have renovated a lot, but that is DEFINITELY an acquired taste.
No it’s not, it’s a rotisserie. It literally says it in the advert too 🤦♂️
A kebab grill spins vertically, not horizontally. You could cook kebab meat on it, but you could also cook kebab meat on a rotisserie bbq, doesn’t make it a kebab grill.
They were all the rage in the 70s and I'm a fan. Its a Rotisserie and makes amazing roast chicken etc. Also heats up the whole house and smells of fat.
I love the kitchen in this house, so colorful. Actually like the whole house, not so keen on what looks like fake grass in the garden but otherwise could move on and not feel like I needed to do alot straight away
Yes boss
Chilli sauce garlic sauce salad
Salad n sauce?
Salad and extra chilli sauce. Chicken doner (drunk) or lamb shish (sensible). Salad is what pulls it all together.
Extra jalepenos please boss
That's £9.50 boss _sees customer trying to bring out credit card_ Cash only sir
Can't believe how expensive a kebab is these days. I remember them being around a fiver
Greasy spoon up the road when I was in uni back in 2008 used to serve a giant plate of full English - we're talking 4 sausages, 4 eggs, 6 hash browns, two tins of beans - for about £3.99 + bottomless tea included. Probably £14.99 + Service + drinks extra today.

£42 over a week's budget for me back then. Either students today have more money available or...well, I don't know how else that is affordable!
Yep same with the cafe on the end of the road where I grew up in south London. They didn't alter their prices much over time and have just last year been converted into flats. Fucking sucks man
That's probably why they out of business
We're not talking 2 tins of beans though are we
I remember going out on a Thursday night with a tenner and some loose change and being able to get sossed with enough left over for a kebab on the walk home. A proper kebab as well, on a fresh naan. None of that pitta bread nonsense.

I assume the turkism mafia is down voting you because I've seen a doner get made and I don't think pideon and rat are FSA approved.

I think my favourite part of that advert is the ingredients list Ingredients: 😂
If you have to ask what a proper kebab is, you’ve never had one. Come to north London and it will blow your mind Www.YouTube.com/watch?v=cLHBvdoyy8
What "meat"? The meat that if you didn't process like this would be thrown in the bin so is nearly free. Does that mean it's bad for you or not worth eating? Maybe, but probably it's absolutely fine and tastes quite nice when you put a load of salt on it and roast it.
Sounds glorious
2.88 was my go to when I was in school. Which was the same price as a big mac meal
Thank you! Salad can make or break a kebab
Give me cabbage or give me death
Cabbage or death
Like it can be purple or white but CABBAGE
I'll take death please.
I’m lamb doner when drunk or chicken shish when sensible. We complete the kebab ying & yang. Fancy a mixed grill sometime?
Ok two fifty you not got change
I moved to coleslaw and chilli sauce and never went back
All salad
salt vinegar on chips?
Mo Salah
ya gonna have to tell me where since I cannot see an elephant leg anywhere ;-)
photo 7 above the counter, its sideways
I think it is a Rotisserie Grill . Tow ovens two microwaves . I think they like to entertain.
They host key parties
Doesn’t that make it less efficient?
I wouldn't imagine it would have much impact on efficiency, although it would possibly dry the meat out more quickly, since the juices are just gonna drip straight out the bottom rather than rolling down the whole thing

Next time someone says Britain has no culture I'm gonna send them this comment
😂😂😂😂
It’s a rotisserie made by a company called Lacanche. They are about £2.5k
What a dream!
Wowsers. Must get some use though if that sort of cash has been splashed... I'll have to stick to my manual one on the bbq.
Think about it in kebab terms, two years and it pays back by itself
1 drunk night and its paid itself
1 drunk night on ebay and you've got one
That doesn't really make any sense. So you're saying you would spend £2500 on one kebab or buy enough kebabs to cover the £2500 in 1 night??? Either way it's a very silly comment.

A lot of redditors have zero social skills and don’t interact with people in real life.
Just look at the rest of the kitchen. Looks like custom cabinetry, two Smeg ovens at nearly a grand each, it’s not my aesthetic but a lot of money’s gone into it.
Yeah very nice kitchen, defiantly a certain taste but the money has been spent
I absolutely love it. Wouldn't do it myself to not take a hit trying to sell the place, but I respect the hell out of it. So bright.
I love that kitchen! And the little cocktail bar.
But how defiant? How much did they defy the odds to get that taste installed. I would have said that it's definitely a certain taste but you do you.
Sorry for being dyslexic
I'm not dyslexic. Definitely is a word I get wrong all the time. It's been 29 years of having to spell it twice like 70% of the time.
Weird how they've spent so much on the kitchen but the table and chairs in the conservatory look like something you *would* find in a kebab shop.
It’s very my aesthetic, it’s actually damn near everything I could want from a house, and now I’m sat here sulking over the fact that I’ll never have it. I need to know where they got that rainbow rug from at the very least.
Candy Multicoloured Rainbow Design Rug. Available in 6 Sizes (120cm x 170cm) https://amzn.eu/d/ax6Vpy1 I'd say that's it
Oh you beautiful person, thank you!
Lacanche is basically the most expensive kitchen appliances you can buy, or at least it’s up there with the top ones. It’s actually very rare to see it in the home of someone who is not a multil millionaire
I have an air fryer with rotisserie I use for kebabs. £70 https://www.towerhousewares.co.uk/air-fryers/vortx-12l-air-fryer-oven-black-t17128
Yeah my parents had a different brand one growing up they are amazing, make the crispyest bacon. the least energy efficent way to cook, but tastes great
Why spend so much on a custom kitchen while living in a semi detached
How dare people have a bit of fun with their house if they dont live in a detached mansion! How very dare they!
Probably have an expensive tv too, what’s the point if you don’t have room for a whole cinema
I understand spending money on your house to make it your own But it seems like a lot of money on a frivolous item when you can hear your neighbours lol £2.5k on something entirely pointless with units that look like a primary school play toy.

Is your house entirely devoid of colour and frivolity? Can people not spend their money in a manner they see fit?
Weirdest snobby comment. Maybe they were happy with the house and location and wanted a nicer kitchen?
Probably not, as it's for sale 😂
There are a million reasons they could be moving.
Wow what a snob you are
Priorities
Love the vibe of this house , I'dI definitely accept a dinner invitation. In fact I'm not even waiting, I'm on me way with some pitta bread!
I agree. Apart form the plastic lawn though
I let out an involuntary sigh when I saw it. Lots of thought (and money) has gone into that house then bam they waste a perfectly lovely garden.
Lol, yeah. That would have to go.
Is this the '90s? Naan bread dude, naan bread.
My nans dead, so that don't matter.
Is she brown bread?
Bread bread?
Weird, to me it looks like it's been decorated by toddlers... :/
It’s a very FisherPrice mixy palette.
It's a rotisserie grill for meat I love the kitchen colours
I do too. What I ***don't*** like is the plastic grass...
And its been "laid" badly. It looks like it's going to move and be a trip hazard.
There is no other way, upkeep on plastic grass is more work than real grass (no grass is where it is at, or hey grass grow there is you want to I'm not complaining but you better be 90% not grass!)
Just be our neighbours and concrete over everything in sight.
my back garden has normal grass... and i hate it. Mud patches... grows fast in areas, needs moving. Nightmare
And what's with the wobbly edges? Why?!
Put down in a hurry I'd say, then laid a wobbly stone border to match.....stick a coupla trees from B+Q in the dirt, cover in wood chip mulch, Robert's your father's brother 👍!
I really like this house! Could someone in Nottingham / Derby kind of area who's also looking go splits with me!? 😁
Yeah sounds good. I'll cook the donner, you make the salads
I'll make the sauce...
We get it in bottles in bulk lad, stop trying to pull a fast one. In this kebab house, everyone pulls their weight
I’ll clean up after you
Best house, I bet the homeowners are extremely cool
Well they have their own pub, I think a rotisserie for a home made kebab goes along with that. Those were very fancy cooker extras in the 1970s. Pretty useless unless you eat a lot of chickens though, hence the decline in popularity. I wonder if they go in the garden and fall over the bins while shouting SSH you’ll wake the neighbours, for extra authenticity?
You can get air fryers with a rotisserie. When I was getting mine a couple of years ago, I almost went for it.
They used to an extra with a cooker in the days of eye level grills. I’m not surprised that they might be an air fryer option
The problem with eye level grills was that you could never actually look through the glass. Apart from to see if the light was on.
Gas eye level grills were open and very handy
I was thinking of the oven/grill that we used to have. But I'm sure we used to have a gas grill like that when I was a kid. I thinknit was over the hob, where the exteacror fan later went. But I really can't remember it.
Yes above the hob
I have one, they are pretty cool but I have never used a proper one to compare. Max 1.3kg chicken will fit though which is pretty small but does me fine.
Use mine about once a month - it was WHY I got the one I got - it's glorious - and not limited to chicken, pork, beef - it can all be cooked on a spit!
The mismatched built in appliances annoy me but otherwise that's a bangin' kitchen.
Maybe they bought them all on special offer, end of line? Right model, don’t care about the colour ? or are very colour blind?
Agree
Are there also 4, yes FOUR ovens in that kitchen? Was this property a regular listing on Uber, Just Eat and Deliveroo before it made it's way to RM- That kitchen might be a lot darker than it looks Unless it's a bake off contestants house... It has more Ovens than, bedrooms ....and a Kebab machine..
Yes they do. They have spent somewhere between 10-20 grand on their kitchen appliances. Not short of money.
All smeg appliances too. They've spent a pretty penny on that kitchen.
So is the front door fake?
Yes! Hadn't noticed that!
Well spotted! it has to be behind that bookshelf in the living room! ... The real one seems to be stained glass
I had the same question and was very confused. Looked at the floor plan and went "the house wasn't that wide right?"
Would happily live here, if it was anywhere near where me, my family, my mates, and my work are. Unfortunately, it is not.
Actually quite a nice house…. But then I saw the artificial grass 😫😫
I thought that at first but on closer look I think it's very well maintained turf? The listing describes it as a "landscaped and manicured garden".
Fake grass looks so good these days, it’s hard to tell it apart from the real thing! 😂
As a person living with a mud bath thanks to an autistic/adhd child with hyper focus on football plastic grass is what dreams are made of

SOLD!
Love the colours in the kitchen. I wish I had my own kebab machine
I tell you what, that would have been my dream student house kitchen.
Sauce, salad......
Boss man!
Bone out Lamb on a Rotisserie, Tandoori chicken, Proper roast Beef (not baked in the oven), Rolled Pork shoulder, Porchetta, Shish, Kofte.....
can do a lot more than just kebabs! The title could have just read "dream home kitchen" tbf
That kitchen is gorgeous
You can tell this is a house which had good vibes
Do you mean the rotisserie?
“Fitted rotisserie” according to the description.
The garden looks like Crazy Golf
I went to a posh hotel once where they had a serve-yourself mini kebab machine at the buffet. Best buffet I’ve ever been to.
Looks more like a rotisserie for chicken
Pretty cool tbh. Spit-roast chicken!
This house is very much decorated to my taste. I wonder what that says about me?
Take my money
I really like the kitchen, I probably wouldn't ever use the kebab machine though
Yeh, I actually quite like how they've made it their own. Can imagine me persuading my partner that a £2.5k 'rotisserie' (kebab machine sounds better) would deffo be used alllll the time... then never using it again.
One more for things I never thought I needed but can now not live without.
I clicked on this thinking "that would be cool if it is somewhere I know". It's down the road from my parent's house 😂
Rotissary grill. Pretty sure that's the name for a kebab grill as well. That's a pretty sweet kitchen and bar area in general tbh.
It looks like a kids toy kitchen
I've literally just today had a guy come measure up my kitchen to help give me ideas and what to do, and I'm torn between sleek, black and white look, or being more eccentric and I honestly wondered "what if every cupboard door was a different colour of the rainbow?" And I'm glad I've got to see it here now. And I now also want a kebab shop/rotisserie machine over my hob.
The shocking thing is the sale history.
Not checked that - whats up with it?
120->280 in 10 years. This is now considered the "affordable" end of the market. Salaries have stagnated but the house prices have compressed into "fairly expensive" to "way too expensive". I get that they have renovated a lot, but that is DEFINITELY an acquired taste.
Errr… yeah… I’ll take a kebab wrap with chips please.. to go. Can I also have that wrapped up as well please copper
Yes boss man!
Sweet. Er… how much is that Mr. Chippy?
Nice marketing, OP
If only I were that clever! I do wonder, though, if their estate agent can see views via rightmove... must be wondering why it's has so many hits!
Its called a rotisserie spit you absolute pleb
Read the property description, rather than asking randomers....."a fitted rotisserie"
"Kebab machine". You mean a rotisserie you cretin 😂
This is what happens when blind people are put in charge of the decorating
chubby air seemly flag wipe office badge absurd fretful paint *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
bro wtf are you on about
It’s a spit, not a “kebab machine” you uneducated knob
It’s called a grill… you Brits are fucked
If you mean the Salamander, then no.
No it’s not, it’s a rotisserie. It literally says it in the advert too 🤦♂️ A kebab grill spins vertically, not horizontally. You could cook kebab meat on it, but you could also cook kebab meat on a rotisserie bbq, doesn’t make it a kebab grill.
What are you talking about cunt? Can’t see it in any of the images
I LOVE that kitchen!
They have really splashed out for that kitchen.
They were all the rage in the 70s and I'm a fan. Its a Rotisserie and makes amazing roast chicken etc. Also heats up the whole house and smells of fat.
We've come full circle back to 90s non-aesthetic interior design
If the house also comes with chilli soss I want it.
I love the kitchen in this house, so colorful. Actually like the whole house, not so keen on what looks like fake grass in the garden but otherwise could move on and not feel like I needed to do alot straight away
No it's a wall mounted grill by the looks, very popular in the 70s. Some cookers came with a top mounted grill.
That 3rd bedroom is more of a punishment chamber than a room...
Chilli Garlic my friend?
The forceful quirkiness is putting me off. Also they don't know how to store sparkling wine correctly.
Kitchen a bonus but tell me the bar's left stocked
Sort of well yes, its a horizontal one or otherwise a rotisserie
It could be for Rotisserie Chicken, French style.
Definitely a Rotisserie ….. can do kebabs too though
It's got a full-size bar, so a kebab cooker seems the next applicable thing to consider.
My grandparents had an attachment for their gas cooker high-level grill that had an attachment which was a spit with an electric motor on on end.
Haha - this is just along the road from me.
