making you wait for a table, even if booked- quelle surprise, the bar always has space..!

'specials' may be near out of date food..

etc!

interested to see any views from catering staff / owners, on this!

Personally, I don't see how any of this is ground breaking news. Of course frugal chefs are going to use up AND 'big up' whatever's near its end date, and drinks have always been overpriced.

Broken card machine - cash only.
Draft beers off only expensive bottles.

So long as the food is not actually out of date, what is the problem?

Yahoo is a load of !!!!! anyway. Always regurgitating old news and views. Their finance news is the worst of the lot and some of it is quite frankly wrong and outdated, pretty much like what you posted above.

Their news is just as bad, always show the stories on the main frame of their website 24 hours after an event has happened. Hardly groundbreaking

Its hardly new is it, driniks have been over priced for years, certain foods are alway6s bigged up by the waiters/waitresses recommending it etc,
