"I reckon takeaway. Dominos nearly £20 for a pizza! "

Yep, takeaway chains like Dominos are a total rip off.

My local takeaway does a bigger pizza for half the price of Dominos, it tastes miles better too.

I'm amazed they stay in business! If you're lucky enough to live around the B'ham area there's one company that you can get 2 9in pizzas and chips for less than a a tenner and you can pick your own toppings! I'm sure there must be others in other towns?

There's restaurants and takeaways from pretty much every country known to man just over the road from me, and I very rarely use them, I prefer to cook ma own stuff, but I recall an Indian meal that I ordered last year when the onion bhajis were a tad on the bland side

I think you can get a bad meal anywhere. We had a takeaway last night which is rare for us. It was about £40 which surprised me and was an hour late . They sent a bottle of beer by way of apology.

It was really nice, we enjoyed it but some of the pleasure was reduced.

I paid £7 for a sliced up tomatoes and a few drops of anchovy dressing at a hotel recently. It feels like some places are trying to claw back their lockdown losses by hiking up their prices. I don't mind a bit of an increase but some are kicking the backside out of it. The things is, that hotel made a lot of money out of me that day but it's the last penny I'll ever spend there so it's a flawed strategy.

Pizza is an expensive way to have a cheese and tomato sandwich.

Back in the late 90's " Nouvelle Cuisine" which had two bits of vegetables artfully displayed, and a shaving of meat, for which you had to take out a mortgage.

I have just looked at their menu and 2 poached eggs on sourdough and 2 coffees is indeed £28 so how could you refuse to pay ?

We found another Yo Sushi. OMG small plastic pot of raw peas £5, bit of manky raw fish £7 , and you wait ages watching people before you grabbing the good stuff, and have to catch what’s left as they wizz past, it’s like hook a duck but the prize for doing really well is they fleece you about £40 pp and you still have to get chips on the way home as you’re hungry still

Is they fleece you

It’s popular with people who like chicken , same as KFC. It’s quite basic for types who cannot cook themselves and are uncomfortable with Restaurant style service.

Been once it’s similar to those gimmicky types of places where the first thing that happens is a spotty 12 year old comes over and says would you like me to explain how everything works and you say no , I know how it works, I look at the menu, tell you what to cook, you make and if it’s decent I’ll eat it and pay. if it’s not take it away and try again. But in this case no one comes over you have to get up and order.... shit really

Customers always right since in the uk we don’t follow laws of Caveat emptor

Plus any type of trade is open to negotiation and as a consumer you should always pay the minimum you can and then choose to tip, give to good causes etc rather than just pay what someone asks

Ridiculous. You get on the bus and the fare is £3.50 and you offer them £2 ? You haggle at the Tesco till over your weekly grocery bill ? Fill up your car with petrol - no need to pay what the pump says ? In a restaurant the only reason you shouldn't pay the full price on the menu is if there is something wrong with the food or if it takes ages to arrive.
