    DOOM: Foodies

    "Prices at UK’s top restaurants ‘have doubled since Brexit’

    Editor of Harden restaurant guides says prices of more than £200 a head at top eateries are ‘becoming the norm’

    The price of a meal at the UK’s best restaurants has more than doubled since Brexit from £100 a head to more than £200, according to two new guide books.

    Peter Harden, the editor of his eponymous restaurant guides, said: “We’ve gone very quickly from a time five years ago when charging over £100 a head was the outlier, to now, when for the very top restaurants £200 pounds a head is becoming the norm.”

    For the first time Harden’s London Restaurant Guide has raised its top price threshold to £130 a head to reflect record menu price rises. The 2023 edition includes 15 restaurants in the capital with a guide price of more than £200 a head, compared with six in that bracket this year."

    And that does not include premium wine parings!

    So those top restaurants that push local food were affected by Brexit?

      Yes as they need to pay their staff more.

        As Jacob Rees-Mogg said (quoting Patrick Minford), everything will cheaper in the UK post brexit, especially food, so imagine how much the prices would have gone up if we hadn't left !!

          It is cheaper - for those who earn in hard foreign currencies...

            Doesn't seem to be happening in the market. Just lots of whining they can't find staff for minimum wage.

            Friends left hospitality because they got a better paying jobs in other industries, you earn more working in ALDi without late nights, abuse and hot kitchens.

            Friend of ours told her racist boss in a respectable hotel to get stuffed when the boss started having a go at her traveller colleague in front of her basically b;laming her origins for apparently not being good enough. We forget working for big companies that HR doesn't notice hospitality workers.
