CheeseAndBiscuits

It's a bit more now I'm afraid Bob - ?40 for a 3-course dinner. http://www.chezbruce.co.uk/data/recent_menu.pdf I agree with your point though - many gastropubs seem to be stuck in a kind of no-mans land between attempting to charge "proper" restaurant prices but not being able to provide the associated service. And at the risk of being accused of plugging my blog (first paragraph): http://cheesenbiscuits.blogspot.com/2007/07/top-5-gastropubs-in-london-that-ive.html

Yes quite - because we discussed your response on Twitter the Palmerston is magically transformed into a stunningly value for money temple of gastronomy, and anyone saying otherwise needs to check with you first.

Two points, Will: 1. If she's paid for the food, why the bloody hell should she have to ask your permission to take pictures of it? She's not selling the damn things in an art gallery. 2. The issue isn't that she didn't know how much her dinner was going to cost, it was that the portions were too small. It seems like this cozy relationship with the traditional media has worked very well for you in the past. What can I say -welcome to the 21st century.
