I don't mind paying if its worth it but Oxo defo was not worth the £.

    Eaten at the Oxo tower twice in last 6-7 years and have to agree its been by far the most disapointing place I've ever eaten at what you factor everything in list, cost location etc. First time I went I came out hungry ended up in WH Smiths to get a packet of crisps / chcos for the way home, second time didn't leave hungry but felt well and truely ripped off, only went the 2nd time as it was other halfs birthday and she had never been / wanted to go.

    Also done a few Gorden Ramsey places all were sh*t and expensive, did xmas dinner as well at Jamies Italian in the city ... that was sh*t as well but at least price ok.

    Fav place to eat is my local curry house, two can eat loads and get p*ssed all for £35.
