Reaches some high prices in restaurants and pubs. How much are you willing to pay?

Right now I'm that hungry I wouldn't care about the price.

But I'd probably eat a macdonalds as well.

That would depend on the quality/cut of meat, how well the chef can cook steak, and the restaurant.

I can get sirloin steaks at £5 a pop, restaurants are extortionate.

I’m really fussy about steak so I’ll generally pay more than you would in a supermarket or chain restaurant

Most I’ve paid is £80 in a restaurant for a steak, place was fancy and the steak was decent. Didn’t come with sauce though, one of them places. Couldn’t bring my self to ask haha bit of blue cheese on it would of been spectacular!!!

Someone bought me a Macdonalds once, I don’t think I could ever be hungry enough to want to eat another one.

"I can get sirloin steaks at £5 a pop, restaurants are extortionate. "

But there is a difference between buying your £5 steak at a butchers or supermarket and the one you purchase in a Restaurant, where there are far different types of other costs built in for not only its supply, but it's preparation, service and so on. Be realistic about Restaurant service!

I was in Hospitality for over 40 years and know from my F&B experience, costings and so on, what it can be like.

However, there are some elements (ie, Restaurants and Hotels) who do take the mickey over pricing way over what it actually costs.

Tbf you're quite right on the added costs restaurants have to tack on.

I suppose I'm a tad spoilt because I feel I cook a mean steak.

But how do they justify nearly a fiver for a fancy tiny basket of a side order of chips, with the equivalent of one potato in the mug size basket

Range from £10-£15 for a steak depending on the place.

I’m off to Hawksmoor this week, so I’ll answer after if an expensive steak is worth it. It’s got some way to go to beat the Argentinian steak I had in Amsterdam.

That seems about right. I'd push to £20 if the steak was amazing
