Christmas at The Ritz - *How* much?!

[swee'pea99]

Just stumbled across this in The Guardian (where else?) - Christmas din-dins at your favourite posherie:

It does all sound orfly nice. But then I



came


to


the


price.



Go on, take a guess.....ok, ready?....

So that's why the turkey doesn't have a head!

Some will pay that and be happy about it.

Some will pay that and be happy about it.

Agreed.
If I had a bit of spare dosh I would take the MIL to that as a pressie.
She so enjoy's afternoon tea at the Ritz so would be in no doubt that she would love that too.

And can Imagine that the food would be truly scrumptious.

Seriously!

 

[Noodley]

That does not seem too bad, given how much places charge for crap mass-produced food. Although I might be looking for a bed for the night as well at £400...

Sounds like a bargain to me. Lunch in one of the top hotels in central London and all the razamataz of the ritz that goes with it. If you want cheap try the travel lodge.

For some people £400 is a days pay, for others £30 is, for others £400 is an hour or less, for some it's £30 It's all relative.

I would want to take the candlestick home for £390.

...and right next door in the Guardian was Christmas lunch (unpriced) at Crisis.

Google Mikkeller, first result:
Mikkeller Milk Stout can cause excessive gas in stomach.

I'm always wary of things that have no price shown, they are usually very very expensive

Trouble is, 'all the razamataz' would simply make me feel uncomfortable. Having to dress up nicely etc.

I'd love to know the cost per head of the ingredients. I don't care how fancy a turkey is, it's still turkey. I'm afraid I just look at that price and think "a month's rent!? On a turkey dinner?!"

NT just said, he got plenty of razamataz having dinner with my family

A £40.96 donation bought two meals, shower, clean clothes and a medical an dental check upfor two people.

Crisis know how to stretch the money.
