Getting expensive?

[saoirse]

I recently noticed in 2 different Uzumlu restaurants meal prices which I consider pretty expensive

One is charging £6.50 for a fry and another £9 for steak and kidney pie.

These prices I feel are quite excessive and certainly more than I would pay for similar fare at home. Any thoughts?

[Scunner]

Don't forget that meat is at it's highest price since meat began, but yes £9 for a pie does sound ridiculous. My feeling always has been that prices are set by sneaking them up and up while people are still ordering and setting the price when people start commenting on it. That is the rule for a lot more than just restaurant food.

So make your feeling known earlier

well to be honest I particulary thought the fry was a rip off as I got an excellent one for 10tl in Calis-where virtually all the places were selling a fry up at around the 10tl price

One I opted for was called Dennis The Menace-I know little about Calis so I await the "you should never have wnet there!" brigade ripping the arse out of my choice!

[Scunner]

The problem I have with expensive fry ups is the same as expensive imported spirits. The profit margin is enormous as most of the component parts are brought over from the UK by friends - and if that isn't cheap enough, often they do it as a gift.

Oh, and if you wanted a good fry up you should have gone to...

Three weeks ago Alya Park fry up was 7.5 lira (approx £3.25) which I consider reasonable, 2 sausages, 2 bacon, mushrooms, beans, 2 eggs, toast, tomato. Didn't include tea or coffee but it was yummy especially as nursing a hangover!! Hope the price hasn't increased?

Still the same from what we've been told Denise.

All that talk about fry ups so had to have one today - was excellent and still 7.5ytl so I won't be paying 15ytl for a breakfast as did Saoirse! wherever that was in Uzumlu? Now I don't have to cook today!
