Was just thinking the same. Where are the bloody mains?

£850 for a steak!
For that price, I'd have wanted to buy the calf, rear it and fuck it first..

They ordered a bottle of wine worth £20k and complained about the bill

Who TF eats steak with mash?

Even worse who then adds a 10k bottle of wine to steak and mash?

The Standard’s reviewer wasn’t impressed either:

“ £50 cappuccinos, limp sushi and the capital’s worst burger … This vibeless business lounge is categorically a bad restaurant“

20 puddings, you missed the 4 baklavas covered in gold leaf.

I’m guessing there were 5 people dining, and they had 4 baklavas each, while also polishing off 5 bottles of wine.

The mark ups on the wine are stratospheric. Plus 15% service. Still, I'm sure the twats who paid through the nose for that lot were happy
Petrus 1996 £2100 retail
Petrus 2003 £2400 retail
Dom Perignon 2006 £131 retail

Sorry, poor choice of words. My point was that they saw on the wine list how much it was and ordered it anyway, then complained about it on instagram

I expect they ordered the most expensive wines on the menu with the express intention of racking up a huge bill which they could then stick up on instagram and pretend to be outraged about.

Something is going massively wrong in this world

Yeah

It's capitalism

Got a horrendous bill from a Verbier skiing trip.

Many bottles of Louis Roderer Cristal plus Beluga caviar.

I had to creep home and hide the evidence from the former Management.

Rayner has ‘reviewed’ by refusing to go there, and instead sit outside with a kebab.

https://www.theguardian.com/food/2021/o ... steakhouse

He describes Salt Bae’s signature move with the salt as being like Rod Hull’s Emu, bare naked and disgracing himself by vomiting down his own neck

Who the fuck is this Salt Bae?...

I knew nothing about him until I saw this thread. On first appearances he would seem like the typical wanker who resides in the world of influencers and social media posers, but having read that he put his money into a new school in his home town I think good luck to him. Plus there's something enviable in getting very rich people to part with ridiculous amounts of money because "it's a bit of fun".

It reminds me of an Irish (I think) photographer who got famous for selling a photo of a potato for 1 million bucks/Euros/whatever. He's sought out by the ludicrously wealthy Silicon Valley elite to take their corporate headshots at $250k a piece, and openly states it only takes him about 5 minutes to get the job done.
