Xt500 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Trying to tap into the local real ale scene isn't a crime. The price they charge is. No one forces you to drink it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elphi 24 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I disagree - some of the Michelin starred restaurants don't charge extortionate fees. Alternageek: If you want to go to Hand and Flowers get a booking, we had to wait around a year. That said he's just extended the premises. I think the plan was to increase the number of covers as it is a tiny place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanSumption Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I'm not aware of any Michelin-starred restaurants that charge extortionate fees. Certainly, they charge more than non Michelin-starred restaurants, but in every case that I know of that's because they spend more on the quality of the ingredients, the staff, the premises, everything. The other thing about extortion is that it is very hard if not impossible to avoid paying it. Whereas it is so easy to avoid paying for a Michelin-starred meal, that very few people I know have actually done so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolstano Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Been twice to the milestone and won't be going back. Hour and a half for my steak to arrive and there was only my party (20 people) in the place. Over cooked and pathetic sides. Last time was worse - I was given sprouts for heavens sake. Booked at the hand & flowers next June - it's only 8 months wait at the moment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
