I know it's just a chain pub but just got this email and there's some good deals

I'd like to try the pork tomahawk but also a 16oz bone in ribeye steak for £13.99 is pretty good value.

Wimp!
"Our Trash Can Challenge is so big it can only be served in a bin lid! To be named a champion you’ll need to work your way through a giant rack of ribs, a double cheese and bacon burger, three portions of chips, a beef chilli Sundae, chicken skewer, onion rings, a corn on the cob, Smokey BBQ baked beans and peas."

Are these the places that serve food on a boiling hot skillet thus overcooking everything?

Depends on the dish.

Last time I was at one I asked for a normal plate. For one thing a normal plate can fit the food on. The skillets are far too small, along with your point about overcooking.

Yes, along with serving everything on a bed of onions, making everything taste of onions.

I mean, it's not the worst chain pub food in the world, and pretty good value, but the steaks on onions on a hot skillet annoys me.

Yep, it's a daft concept to base a pub on. It also means if they by chance manage to get your steak cooked right it won't have been rested at all.
