HeHasRisen Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I am confused here. How much do you THINK all the above should be? Its Xmas Day ffs. People have been paying inflated prices for eating out on this day for as long as I remember. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest makapaka Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I never understand why people get all wound up about this - you’re under zero obligation to pay it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best thing about that price is that you dont have to wash up or load the dishwasher And you cant have relatives overstaying their welcome because you can say your goodbyes in the car park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest makapaka Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Plus Christmas “lunch” (eurgh) has got to be the most overrated experience ever. dread it every year but can’t talk my family out of changing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norbert Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 If a family of 4 or more want to pay me £60 each I will come to their house and cook Xmas dinner for them, wear a Santa hat, whistle festive tunes and get wasted on their sherry. Strictly mushroom wellington , haggis en croute, or nut roast though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this 😁 Woman reveals she's received a £100 BILL from her 'ridiculous' sister-in-law for Christmas dinner - even though her family brought their own booze https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-7848867/Woman-branded-sister-law-ridiculous-charging-100-family-Christmas-dinner.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or for substantially less than The Broadfield, you can have Xmas lunch at the 4 star, Mercure Hotel in the city centre. https://www.christmasvenues.com/party/8086/festive-lunches-at-mercure-sheffield-st-pauls-hotel-and-spa Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with The Broadfield for a drink, (above average range of drink choices for a suburb pub), & the usual foods in line with most pubs prices but anyone who's prepared to fork out £80 for grub in an average pub, good luck to them but I'd say they need to give their head a wobble before putting a deposit down. I'd definitely want to see an example of what I'd be getting. There's no photo of the Xmas lunch on the promotional material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing about Xmas Day. Christmas day is actually £88. So 10% more than the Broadfield 😂 https://www.christmasvenues.com/party/8092/christmas-day-lunch-at-mercure-sheffield-st-pauls-hotel-and-spa You didnt really think the Mercure was churning out a 3 course meal on Xmas Day for £25 did you? As a comparison, the Broadfield's pre-Xmas Day 3 course menu is £28.95, and for an extra £2.55 you can whack a drink on. £5 off those prices for eating between M-F 12-4. Details on their FB page, the menu looks better than the Mercure one tbh and you likely dont have to sit in a soulless basement function room there either.

Guest makapaka Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 One thing I would say about the wages justification. I’d love to know what they’re paying to some student that warrants charging £80 for a Sunday dinner.😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
