Make sure everyone going has to travel at least an hour before going there.
Make them just drive round the block if they live closer. Call anyone who refuses to do it small minded.

OK, so just so I'm clear.
You're telling me you don't want to go to a nice, family run restaurant that does really good food and imports good, Italian wine and would rather (at some point in the next month) go for a pizza at a chain restaurant because they offered you a free bottle of mass-produced prosecco?

Cos that's cool if you do, I just thought you might like to do something nice, that's all. I don't really understand why it's made you so angry.

I don't think anywhere that you recommend would be worth going to.

Probably not as good as Pizza Express, no.
I don't think I know anywhere THAT good.

One is not a replacement for the other if there is a huge treck involved.
He could get in a 10-15m (whatever) cab and have a nice meal thats alrightly priced, even get cheap cinema tickets out of it, and get a free bottle out of it. It can be done without any prior-thought really, just, sitting around on a dull evening and invite out the misses.

For your one, it probably does do really nice food, even better food probably, but he has to plan it. And personally, if I was going from MK to central london for a posh meal, I probably wouldn't choose a mama'n'papa pizza joint unless mates have already decided to meet there.
