[Ashberto]

Are you suggesting that food****ery is over-rated?

[Snin]

normally his other half or some media mug pays imo

[Ashberto]

I saw it as basically a restaurant the sold beer.

In terms of it being a pub, can you stop in for an absolute rake of pints, no food?

[Snin]

pints and stay in the bar / waiting area at H&F and dont order food or anything and they happy to serve them..very nice crackling too.. id say esp in 4 or 6 months when ype dies down you will be able to just have a beer ..bar area is not tables , its bar stools and no food..and some small tvc screens for sport so id say ..yes..but see how it goes :-)

[Monty91]

"Yep, that was money well spent relative to what I could have bought elsewhere for cheaper"

So if by food****ery you mean expensive restaurants, then yes of course they're overrated.

[Monty91]

"Yep, that was value for money"

So if by food****ery you mean expensive restaurants then yes of course they're overrated.

[Snin]

:hehe: :-) MAARRIIOOOOO

[Snin]

on chicken or summat then no..and i dont like it poncified..im no fan of food c**tery tbh

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

There are other things in life apart from money. You sound like some sort of grasping miser.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

You tight c**t.

[Berni]

[Snin]

size and still 40 squid then no id not have been as happy..balance Sir C..you need the ying with the yang..you eat with your mind as well as your mouth

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I'm sorry, but I find it offensive.

You won't be happy until there is nothing of quality available. You'll be inhabiting an ugly world of cheap nastiness, but I guess you'll be happy because you've got 3 quid extra in the bank.

The trouble is that the rest of us have to put up with your hideous world as well.

f**k this, I'm off to the woods with snin.

[Monty91]

how much it costs in relation to the pleasure it gives you?

[Maz]

[Berni]

with a tiddler, wouldn't you? Stands to reason. Same with steaks.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Presumably you were in some way aware of the price bracket you were entering.

[Monty91]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

happens to please one or not, if we do not encourage the pursuit of perfection we'll all be living in a world of Ryanair and Travelodges.

Quick explanatory note for you; there are currently nicer airlines and more comfortable hotels available. You might get your girlfriend to pay for you to experience one.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

more for a tiddler if it were brandished with some expertise.

[Monty91]

[Berni]

one is obviously better. Unless it's too big, in which case you'll never finish it and it'll just leave you feeling uncomfortably full...

[Classic Jorge]

[Monty91]

Once you're into the 40 quid for a main course territory, you are no longer paying for the food, but an intangible experienced sold to you as a fantasy by clever people behind the scenes in the food industry.

I understand certain delicacies like white truffle and caviar have to be priced differently, of course.

But a slab of duck breast and some triple cooked chips? f**k off fat man (Kerridge, not you)

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I had dinner at L'Astrance at the weekend. It was a 10 course tasting menu with wine pairings at 500 euros a head. (Not really my thing, of course, but those with educated palates tell me it's the tits.)

Anyway, it was certainly a memorable meal, but to describe it as 'value for money' would be absurd.

[Snin]

once he starts allowing non locals in :-)

or he needs some website help ?

[Monty91]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

The fat c**t's out of his f**king mind! Being on the TV must have gone to his head.

[Snin]

:-)

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Monty91]

which you do all the time.

By talking about value for money I am doing nothing different to what you do everytime you eat out: comparing it against previous experiences.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

in financial terms. I was merely poiting out that the financial element of such comparisons is possibly the least important, and certainly the most vulgar.

[Snin]

down road it will cost you under 20..I thihnk his plan is gonig to send one or both of these to the wall tbh..hes playing with fire

[Snin]

[Monty91]

then it is a primary consideration.

I will happily do so again, but I intend to be more discerning in future and not fall for the hype surrounding glorified boozers like Kerridge's.

If you learned there was another restaurant down the road from the 500 euro place you want to that charged half the price for the same quality food, would you not have felt a little put-out, however much you enjoyed it?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Was it all those years of wandering in the desert?

I'm joking; I'm not calling you jewish, I'm calling you mean.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

However if you can afford it then good luck and indeed bon appetit.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

but there was a special reason to go.

Anyway I enjoyed it very much, thank you. There was a great deal of theatricality and some truly amazing booze.

I was arseholed after 4 courses.

[Snin]

its truly the last days of the roman empire..fat f**kers gorging and vomiting and ****ting on the poor..up agaisnt the wall fat lad this bullets got your name on it :-) also its truly laughable amount to spend on a tasting menu...many very rich people i know would not spend that as they would feel like a mug and a c**t imo

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

My wife and I have often dined at various places where the seal of quality can be identified by awards from that French tyre company.

Now, it will be no shock to you to hear these places are not my norm, nor the people who tend to frequent them my type of people.

However in general I have found them to be damned expensive but utterly superb.

I know the prices in advance so don't see the point in quibbling.
