I went to their website to look at their menu. Listed was:
Two courses for two people including a glass of house wine £10
Add an extra course for £4.00 per person
Add seasonal vegetables or chips for £2.50
At the current time the exchange rate is about $1.60 to one pound. Thus, two courses for two people were about $16. Not great, not bad. Howver: Extra course $6.40 PER PERSON. Seasonal vegetables or chips were $4.00 (apparently PER PERSON). Now the chips (and probably vegetables) probably cost them $.25, so quite a mark up.
