Can't see anyone paying 19 lira for an English breakfast - pointless offering it at that price - hope Stuart didn't order one ?

What is really annoying about the price of an English breakfast is that the most of the bacon/sausages are brought from the UK by customers in suitcases so not a very expensive thing at all. In fact, as someone on here said - with the price of meat as it is in Turkey now, bacon is probably the cheapest meat there is on average.

I used to be a frequent visitor to Zakkum.
This winter has seen me become a much less frequent visitor.
I know that the previous incarnation had its faults but there has been a marked deterioration
The marquee has become a smoky, living room for the family and friends of the management, it seems.
No effort to make the place look welcoming.
Prices rising.
Regular customers drifting away to other bars.

The new owner may have a cunning plan.
If so, then I have to admit that it is deceptively cunning.

Shame that this is going down hill, I also went to their other baby" Fire and Water" which sadly passed away.

Is Perihan Pam still there? Last time I went was under Dons ownership, disastrous!
