quite often i'll have had the veggie option and been driving
so mine is a bit cheaper, but i would always just say split it. it's going to be about £2 difference, between friends, and doubtless if you added up every single meal and drink you'd ever had together, it would come out at 50/50. it's so annoying.

"well, my lasagne was £15.50 and your stew was £14.85, but then you had a side dish of carrots at £1.75"... urrrgh

The only time it's really worth it is if someone just had a main
while everyone else had starters and desserts too.

That said, I once went for a birthday meal and the food was shit, the service was shit, I hardly drank anything and some other people must have been getting shots and loads of beers and I ended up paying about £50 for a really awful meal. But I still paid, I just complained to the mrs about it on the way home.

I think in that situation you're justified in saying fuck off.
