    It does seem steep, but at the same time I think we're all used to paying knack all for food.

    Extra ayrton senna for that. Chips and veg are extra - £4 for each, one type of veg only. Forgot to mention that.

    If a cottage pie really is 28 quid, then they are taking the pish.

    There’s two other localish pubs that have taken the local custom with good and sensibly priced food, i guess freezing out locals and families in the summer well time will tell how much custom they’ll get back in the winter. There’s a michelin star place 100 yards away and he’s probably cheaper .

    No, that’s £18 but £4 for a side of one veg, so £22. Steak is £29, just a steak no chips or veg. £28 fish of the day.

    the advert doesn’t say. Same menu but slightly less. I’ll be trying to get a gander when i’m there next week.

    I hear yer. And if there's not much passing trade then they may well be at risk of freezing out the locals. An unwise move and one they're likely to regret.

    On the other hand, if I was out on the sea freezing my bits off and being generally 'at risk' while catching fish for someone's tea, I'd want to be remunerated handsomely, and my prices would reflect it.

    A good chef'll want paying well, too. Etc etc.

    I'd be interested to know how much out of that 18 quid is profit.

    As ever, Rayner says it better than I:

    definitely, i know one of the lads that runs a creel boat from Stein, certainly hard graft. the fish is from farmed sources, same supplier as previous owner from the mainland. The local shellfish boat wasn’t supplying him when the mrs worked there, too expensive apparently, all from the mainland. Previous owner got shellfish locally from there or Dunvegan.

    hopefully they’ll get the balance right, and wish them success despite how it might come across. There’s alternatives if it remains too pricey in summer etc.

    It does sound like they're pushing their luck somewhat. Michelin-starred gaff in Harome does a 'locals menu' at 25 quid for 3 courses.

    Including a cottage pie.

    We potentially missed out on a money spinning trip to Ashton Gate, I see.

    @Interested Bystander@Interested Bystander - according to a photo on the SR fbook page, Adrien Hunou just won the Ballon d’or :brig: just pipped James Vaughan.
