Cheap eats under £12, mapped across the UK

Yumma is a map of meals for £12 or less in 9 UK cities. Most prices on it were read from the venue's own published menu and link back to the page they came from, so you can check one before you go; the rest come from people who ate there and said what they paid. Every meal says which it is. Where a place has no cheap meal listed, it says so rather than inventing one.

16,081 places on the map, 2,963 meals under £12 with a price and a source.
