Hi has anyone been to this and if so can you just pop in weekdays,also is it expensive.. :D cheers Slash


Just found the menu on there site with prices :oops:
 
I've seen worse, but I haven't paid for it. I guess it depends on how that £1 a slice of toast and jam is served, and whether it's real butter (salted for me deffo), and what the bread is like and of course the jam.
Certainly more than I pay - but many will pay more. Like I say, it depends so much on the service, ambiance....and those eggs being cooked just how you like them.
I could make it myself at home.... :lol:
 
I was expecting worse tbh Slash, I reckon you've spent more on bad meat and given it to the dogs.

It's not unreasonable assuming the grub is good and the whole experience of eating there is enjoyable. £3.50 for two eggs seems rather a steep mark-up though! :lol:

Do you guys eat out much? You'll be lucky to get a Cappuccino or a bottle of water for less than that.

Not sure about the price of food where you live antdad, but £4.50 for egg on toast or 10 quid for a burger seems excessive to me
 
Doesn't seem bad pricing to me, the cheapest things will also allow for the fact that when you are in there having egg on toast someone else can't be sat there ordering sirloin steak which as the dearest thing at £16 is no more expensive than most pubs round here.

Yeah it's not too bad, and I assume that it is a pleasant place to dine anyway. You don't just pay for the food, it's the ambulance :? of the place that counts for a lot. :D
 
and it hasn't really got anything to do with where I live but what I expect to pay. Sure, egg on toast or a burger at the local cafe isn't going to be as much but I'm assuming they are offering something else, be it quality of ingredients, setting, service etc.

Those are bistro/gastro pub prices and besides the 10-20% for the River Cottage effect there isn't anything too outrageous that I can see.
 
Well im far from flush but dont mind paying more if its good quality food and good service,went out for a meal friday with better half and it was probably the best food ive ever eaten out,place called the hungry fox inn at beal nr pontefract,expensive but bloody good :hungrig
