The Voice of Reason Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 1 hour ago, jackwhite said: The function room upstairs is being used so certainly could avoid the latter situation you mention. Could be just me, but I think some of the things on that menu are overpriced. I think it’s a pretty good menu, reasonably priced in this day and age and if it is served upstairs in the Embassy ( or whatever it’s called) will be booking shortly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Surprising that there isn't a Steak ( or two) on the menu, an easy and popular way to increase turnover? Maybe that and only that, is down to Richards ego??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that and only that, is down to Richards ego??? Clearly restaurants these days need to serve more carrots. The menu is clearly aimed at what you might call the Athol Street work crowd - posh snack lunches and post-work. Hence the early evening hours and no Saturday night or Sunday service. Hence also the higher-end pricing for what it is (presumably compensated by quality). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much is fish, chips and peas in the chippy? Bet you don't get much change from £12 - £15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that does sound good. Have a feeling the fish alone is about 7 - 8 here, I stopped going as the price was eye watering and the quality debatable!

If you are isle of man resident then its cheaper to get the Manx national heritage membership for £40 per year https://www.friendsofmnh.org/join/ Additional adult at same address is £30 per year It has a reciprocal arrangement with national trust etc and even some overseas schemes.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
