£9 for a glass of wine - someone please show me a darkened room where I can get over the shock. Just as well someone else was paying but yikes unless it was a very, very nice wine that a hell of a mark up. £27 a bottle even allowing for 60% generous mark up did it taste like a wine you'd pay £12 for a bottle of?:mad:

Not bad but I wouldn't have paid 16 quid...on the other other hand you pay for the service, the decor, the Hilton name so i guess its not too bad ...its by no means the most expensive hotel to eat in just seemed a lot probably after my thrifty month

I actually don't mind paying restaurant prices if the food, service and setting are all good. My elder son used to be a chef and used to bring the menu pricing home to work on. All very complicated but well seeing he's now a Statistician (just a slight career change LOL)

While £16 for a meal seems a lot, it does have the "Hilton" sign hanging outside, so you can begrudgingly shrug and accept it when you walk in.

What's increasingly pee'd me off in recent years is that every pub/cafe etc are also happy to stick £16 as a price on their menus and shove out unexciting food, without the benefit of any such "Hilton" sign outside.

For lunch today I had 2 crumpets and 1 cheese triangle spread on them.

For tea I went mad ... two bits of toast, with half a tin of beans and two large eggs scrambled... splash of the old brown stuff.

Afters has been 8 giant chocolate buttons and 6 chocolate fingers.

Now if I had had a cheese triangle in the fridge earlier I definitely would have had that on my crumpets I am fond of the occaisional cheese triangle
