Someone gifted me a bag, it was tasty with some yogurt, but at £6 a bag for stuff she's thrown together from Tesco's it was a bit of a liberty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s basically her model. Vastly overpriced food in a paper bag. I’m not surprised she’s closing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree the only reason I can see is that the price of her product was literally ridiculous for a small bag of granola. I assume now there is a squeeze on income not many people are wanting to pay nearly a tenner for a handful of produce. Best blame global markets though!

Boris Johnson Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Too many crabs trying to get into the paper bags of really nice food? Is there any wonder we have nothing but third class shit for sale on the island, generally - long live Amazon - and the same shit food served in most food outlets* *You may find a good food outlet on the island but i would bet a couple of grand that if you go again more than two or three times you will have a crap meal, there is no consistency, which to me says no proper cheffing, if that is a word ..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your only as good as your last meal. What you say is spot on, especially with many local eateries. They alternate between fantastic and rubbish. If you have a poor meal or terrible service you end up trying to find somewhere else. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
