Yes. I have a decent disposable income yet still I’m like nah, I’m not rewarding greed. I do still eat out but not just on a whim like I used to. I also travelled to the Balkans a lot in recent years which makes our prices seem even more outlandish In comparison.
Some of the yummy mummy contributions the article are hilarious. Eating out every week! My heart bleeds.
Price is certainly a blocker for some.
But I think that for most people, it’s the perceived lack of *value* that’s a bigger problem. It’s not that they *can’t afford* to eat out, and more that it doesn’t feel *worth* eating out any more.
Higher prices plus a higher service charge. No thanks
This is what I’ve found with restaurants. Why would you go for a chicken burger at £18 when you could go for a pork pluma for £24?
The staffing and rates increases seem to have absolutely hammered the casual end of the market, meaning there’s now not that much difference between your pub fish and chips or chicken burger place and the funky place that’s doing seasonal small plates and skin contact wines.
To be honest the quick meals I used to get, fast food and the like, are way too expensive for me to justify it now. Mid range meals are better, but a lot require sitting down and the like and I probably don’t always have time or effort to do that just for mid range, and the high end is always going to be special occasions and rare treats anyway.
So basically for every price point I’ve basically made a calculation „yeah it’s better to just cook at home“, especially with all these meals delivery services that give you good recipes
120 quid for two now is the average when we go out.
You can eat cheaper yes, and there are some places afar we eat where the food is nice and and wine is good and it’s not as expensive.
Valentine was hitting about 160 so we decided to go out next week, as it’s milking season it seems.
Lots of places also asking for card details upfront.
I can see why families don’t venture out anymore.
Town was empty according to people who work in restaurants we know so it seems a safe even valentine’s is hitting the rocks.
Yes.
If we need to eat out it’s normally Wetherspoons.
Local pub charging £22 for fish and chips, it isn’t going to happen. Especially when the portion is so big I can’t eat it all. Such a waste as well.
We have the world’s highest energy prices and the high cost of hiring staff, especially on lower wages in the hospitality and restaurant industry, all push up prices at the same time that ordinary families are struggling to make ends meet.
You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to see what the outcome would be.
The last lot weren’t great but at least they had some bright ideas like the Eat out the Help out campaign – and that was during a pandemic.
If you consider the price of food shopping now, I actually think eating out has become slightly cheaper relative to that.
I have no data to support it, but that’s the way it feels to me.
Yes. I don’t go out to eat anymore because I’m paying half a weeks shopping for one meal. It’s not worth it, most of the time it’s better when I make it at home anyway since I worked as a chef and baker for a while.
