How much?

[AtleastitsnotMonday]

Ok just had lunch in a little village cafe/ coffee shop. How much would you expect to pay for a jacket potato with coleslaw and salad garnish and a grilled chicken salad, 1 Diet Coke, 1 bottle of water? It was fine, perfectly nice but not amazing. The bill came to £37 which I felt was a bit steep but I didn’t dont eat out at lunch time that often, so is this pretty standard or expensive?

That's a pisstake but surely you saw the prices beforehand..

Really desperate to know which county your in

£10.95 for a jacket potato??

Eleven quid for a spud???
They cost about 4p!!!! What a rip off!

Wow! Why did you order at all?

£11 for a jacket potato! £16 for a salad!

I’d have reckoned on £17-20 from your OP.

OP, do you live in the Mysterious Cities of Gold?

Would Harrods even charge that much?

What was so special about the potato!?

I’d want mine to be talking 3 languages and performing an American Smooth before forking out that much!

I live in London and I think that’s mad.

Brunch with DS the other day - one crispy chicken wrap, one hot dog, one side of fries, one side of sweet potato fries, one coke, one fresh orange juice = £41.

I can only assume you are near me!

I would have to return & asked them to justify the charges. Bloody ridiculous!!!

Harrods salad £13.50

Fortnum & Mason Gallery restaurant: chicken Caesar salad £17.50

Where the hell a you Harry?!

Ha ha you’re in Zurich aren’t you? 😂 please tell me you are 😮

How can a sandwich, fries & a soft drink = £20pp?

£16 for a fucking salad? Was the chicken hand grilled by mermaids or something?

The Wolseley, Piccadilly: chicken & tarragon salad (large) £16.50, (small) £11.

The only thing that jumps out at me as being particularly steep is the Diet Coke. It wouldn't surprise me if it was a pint of normal Coca Cola, but if it was just a bottle or even a can of diet that is pretty atrocious. Everything else seems normal for a more upmarket cafe eatery type establishment imho.

Best baked potatoes in London, nothing over £8: thepotatoproject.com/phone/index.html

Why the hell did you pay those prices? 😵

Being generous I’d say:

Jacket potato: £5
Salad: £8
Coke x2: £2
Water: £1

So £16 altogether

Doesn't surprise me. If it's seasonal trade you're paying for something to survive on a 3 month season

Can we see the bill, or have you framed it.?

How big was the potato for £10 ide want it to be the size of my head.

Diet coke you can't even say it was coz of the sugar tax.
I hope you got to eat off diamond plates.

Why on earth did you eat there

I wouldn't pay more than £20 for that, so you paid nearly double the maximum anyone on here would have expected!
