It's a flat fee. From memory it was £92 per person for the food, and optional £65 for matching wines (we didn't take that option)How much is the food?

I can only assume OP doesn't have an anti-corruption policy at work...
Seems strange to lavish expenditure when ultimately it is the "guest" who will be paying for it long term - maybe I'm too old school.
Nice to see some places to consider if I fancy treating Mrs Papak to a nice dinner in the city though so thanks for the contributions.
It's fairly standard to wine and dine a customer - been on both ends - dined and dining and I really don't see the issue. The cost of a meal is hardly bribing someone.I can only assume OP doesn't have an anti-corruption policy at work...

Thanks. Not so bad then for an occasion. I guess they are aiming at Michelin recognition after allIt's a flat fee. From memory it was £92 per person for the food, and optional £65 for matching wines (we didn't take that option)
Then one of us has misinterpreted the OP:It's fairly standard to wine and dine a customer - been on both ends - dined and dining and I really don't see the issue. The cost of a meal is hardly bribing someone.
I want to win his business
Unless it’s public sector then you can’t even give them some cheap merchandising crapIt's fairly standard to wine and dine a customer - been on both ends - dined and dining and I really don't see the issue. The cost of a meal is hardly bribing someone.
It's a sensible way of managing supply and demand. Travel businesses do it.I have noticed prices have shot up recently. Some places I know have made clear announcements on their websites about this as well.
Interestingly, I also know a restaurant which now charges more for the weekend bookings but less for the lesser popular days earlier in the week. If you go Tuesday is a lot cheaper than Friday.
Agree. the owner wrote a long piece on his website about his reasons, and he mentioned that demand at the weekend is insane, but earlier in the week it isn't. I just looked up the prices and it’s 25 euros difference.It's a sensible way of managing supply and demand. Travel businesses do it.
