Peer pressure but never again.Joe315 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 12:56 pmMore Fool you for" Dining out" at a Football Match.Loin Cloth Lenny wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 12:49 pmI’m talking about hospitality at Leyton Orient. Had I been in the GR restaurant I’d have backed the meal but was with a large group of pub friends so just accepted it for ‘loyalty to the club’.
I know, I’m easily led and persuaded. I said never again but will get pressurised. I don’t intend going again. I find eating out these days generally very disappointing at the best of times.
Up your £50 a head & visit michelin star infrequently & your experience will explode as will your tastebudsLoin Cloth Lenny wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 2:55 pmI know, I’m easily led and persuaded.

I have been to La Gavroche once for a special occasion, it was very nice and the service impeccable. Also a place in North Norfolk on the coast, equally as good. I know what you mean by fine dining. It was a good experience.Joe315 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 3:06 pmUp your £50 a head & visit michelin star infrequently & your experience will explode as will your tastebudsLoin Cloth Lenny wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 2:55 pmI know, I’m easily led and persuaded.

If you know why are you critiquing a League 1 Foootball club ? A bit different if we sign a Michelin star chef in january transfer window.Loin Cloth Lenny wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 8:45 pmI have been to La Gavroche once for a special occasion, it was very nice and the service impeccable.

Because the offerings there at the Gallery was not up to a lacklustre Toby Carvery. I don’t know what Toby Charge now but it was under a Tenner when I last went. Awful stodgy food too but at least it was piping hot and the plates were warm. I don’t eat out much at all these days as I prefer home cooking.!Joe315 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 8:56 pmIf you know why are you critiquing a League 1 Foootball club ?

More fool those who "dine" at a Football match again.

I’m glad they have dropped the price, my friend got a call from the commercial Dept a week or two trying to get him to buy the 3 for 2 offer, so I guess numbers have dropped since whoever decided to hike prices by such a huge amount.EliotNes wrote: ↑Mon Oct 02, 2023 8:10 am Mrs NES & I are dining "upstairs" before the game tomorrow. Price has been dropped from last time which was the Pompey match. And for those who say, more fool you for paying those prices - if the food is as it was last time, it's good food; we enjoy the company/banter around; Lucy and her waitresses are excellent; we like the pre-match player interview and the after match MOTM award and we are supporting the Os by putting a few more quid in their coffers.

Cold plates cold food, pay your money & leave. Then complain away from e10. Same over prices. If people dont complain in the correct place, how do they expect things to be fixed. I still wouldnt "dine out" at Football though.
Calm down. Unless you can prove your culinary bona-fides, then the statement is valid.
