What food places do you consider overpriced?

Five Guys..never been in there but alot of friends said its not worth it.

Those Coffee places... cant understand the appeal of it...I blame the Friends tv show.

Nandos..small expensive grilled chickens..need atleast half a chicken.

Ham salad sandwich for £5.80 from a sandwhich shop and a normal bacon sandwich for £7.95 at a small cafe. Just a rip-off

We rarely eat out other than if on a hols, or attending a wedding and staying at a hotel. Too expesive, wate of money - Big Mac about once every 4/5 months is about it

When we visited Lincoln a couple of months back we ate at a place called The Cosy Club

Lovely venue, no arguing about that

However, we ordered some things from the 'small plates' menu

Bang, bang cauliflower @ £6.00 was 3 cauli florets, some dipping sauce and some marinated pak choi

Charred brocolli @ £6.50 was 1 (yes 1) stem of tenderstem brocolli with a dressing on

I was gobsmacked at them prices

We aren't talking Michelin star quality, we are talking a notch up from pub grub

Doubt the prices will go down

Energy, wages and cost of raw materials going up so they have to pass it onto the consumers. Also vat has gone up.

Sounds sad, but I always fear going ito some ordinary looking place and being charged loads of money for shitty food.

We came close to that in Paris about 10 years ago - sat in an outside cafe near that tall, famous arch and the wide roads - I dont drink alcohol day time but small bottle of was 5 euros as was a bottle of larger so i went for the larger and fries as did the others, sat down for 20/30 mins and f/d off

Torquay

The running costs for restaurants and cafes are out of control, our very good friends run a very busy cafe with 40 covers and their estimated monthly electric and gas costs for the month of May is just under £1500.

Fresh food supplies are also up by almost 26% over the last year.

Thousands of hospitality businesses across the country will fold before the end of the year.

If Five Guys did table service the price would seem more reasonable.

I have started to use an app called to good to go.

I had curry goat and rice with a festival there was enough for 2 meals at the price of 4.50.

I use it when I want a takeaway.

Local take aways.

Most have increased their prices & the portions have got smaller.

KFC is pretty much the cheapest for what you get.

I don’t know anywhere that doesn’t seem overpriced these days. I only eat out as a treat or may use a coffee shop if it’s handy. I’ll more likely grab a sandwich and drink from a supermarket when I’m working.

East Sussex

Overheads are astronomical.

We ate out at the weekend and or meal for two with a glass of wine,a beer and two coffees was approximately double what I've just paid for four coffees and two slices of cake.

I look on it as paying for the experience not just the food
