["Are You Being Served?"]

I had better come clean, as John told me that he was putting my comments on the site, so I registered as 'Lord of the Pies'.

Zagat quotes us at £24, but with our prices it doesn't take a genius to work out that we would be delighted if all our customers spent that sort of money, especially as we also offer a two course and coffee menu at £10, at lunchtime and after 10 o'clock at night, and have a printable discount voucher on the website.

However, three courses and coffee, a la carte, would still come to under £17, so I honestly don't know how they come up with a figure of £24.

Perhaps people look at menu prices in London restaurants with such distrust that they then work out the cost per head on the basis that a meal will be about three times the price of a main course; not true in our case.

Admirable thoughts on the subject, I couldn't have put it better myself.
