    Err - perhaps I'm missing something but this doesn't sound right to me...

    On Blue Monday each place setting has a paper menu which shows all of the blue plate dishes that are included in the offer. During this time, the conveyor will ONLY have blue plates (unless your restaurant does premium yellow dishes too as per the OP's above)

    You'll find that the blue plate dishes are normally on coloured plates that usually cost more than £2.40 which is why it's a good deal.

    You can ask the server to bring you any of the dishes that are on the Blue Monday menu and they'll all be charged at £2.40. Sometimes the server will get them made fresh when you specifically request them, sometimes, if there's something you've asked for already on the belt, they may just pick one up and bring it directly to you. So if you prefer hot dishes, best to ask for them "hot" to drop the hint that you want one made fresh. If you stick to this rule, you'll only pay £2.40 per dish.

    However, if you want to order a dish that's NOT included in the blue plate menu (Chicken Teriyaki, for example), you can still ask for it but it'll be made fresh for you and will arrive on the normal colour plate you'd expect it to. For example, if you order a Chicken Teriyaki, it'll arrive on an orange plate and you'll pay £3.50 for it.

    Perhaps I misunderstood the post above but didn't want people to think you could order anything you want from the full menu and only pay £2.40 for it - you won't! :)

    (My bolding) - re the bold bit, sometimes instead of charging you the "normal plate colour" price, they'll give you a smaller portion for the blue plate price (if it's something you normally get 3 of on an orange plate, you may get 2 on a blue plate).
    We may not have it all together, but together we have it all :beer:

    You should not have to read the drinks menu to find out food prices, small print on the bottom of the flyer or on the food menu maybe.

    When I went recently, the infomation about the yellow plates was displayed on a full colour A5ish sign standing up in a holder on the tables. Not just in small print on the drinks menu. I didn't see how visible these signs were if you were seated at the belt though.

    Never heard of that but I'll DEFINITELY be trying that next time I visit on a Monday! :)
