Everything. As It Happens.
Oh look it’s our weekly ‘look I ate in an expensive restaurant or a restaurant in an expensive hotel and I am shocked, shocked I tells ya…just how much this expensive establishment charged me for [Insert items here]’.
For the love of Jesus, Allah, Buddah and the Flying Spaghetti Monster please stop posting these posts…
The only difference here is that ‘Bobby Beamer’ failed to mention ‘we’re back, baby’.
Not going to the trouble this time of explaining restaurant mark-ups. A fool is easily parted with his money.
Don’t be nasty. He found it in the street.
FFS…Read the menu first…then leave and go to the Kylemore up the road.No symphaty.
Should have ordered the Cold Toast.
That’s a ridiculous price. It’s only the fupping Gresham located in a kip of a street.
rip off ireland is alive and kicking – great little country to rip off people in, thanks blushirts
This isn’t a Travelodge, it’s a luxury hotel you imbecile – Luxury costs money, it’s not entrapment and there’s a Kylemore a few metres away.
Imbecile, luxury…… You are from somewhere else
Of course, it’s the blueshirts fault that Bobby doesn’t make good purchasing choices, oh my sainted aunt…
The Gresham is no longer luxurious however
Hard to be I suppose, when you’re building is on Junkie Boulevard.
*YOUR
I should copy and paste my comment on this thing from last week (same restaurant and everything) but effort….. spar up the street, stop being shocked that luxury hotels are expensive etc etc
There y’go: https://www.broadsheet.ie/2016/01/07/how-much-120/
A full 6 days ago….
in other news, we now have the WiFi password… so free wifi..
Afternoon tea in the Savoy or the Ritz is £60-70.
Tea, cakes and sandwiches don’t actually cost that much to provide – you’re paying for the pleasure of having afternoon tea in the Savoy or the Ritz.
If you want a basic mug of scald and toast at a low price, maybe give the five star hotels a swerve.
Was someone watching Channel 4 last night…..
I totally was! ^_^
Those scones looked AMAZING. Baked only hours ago? WORTH IT!
The Merrion do a very similar set up, called Tea Art. All the cakes are inspired by paintings dotted around the hotel. But I didn’t take a picture of the receipt because I’m not a moron.
That’s a bit too much frippery for my liking, I hate feeling guilty about destroying the look of something I’m eating!
I’m sure you were scandalised and traumatised by having to pay more than a tenner for an auld pot of tae and a few auld cakes though weren’t ya?
I’d wager someone most definitely was.
We had a voucher, didn’t come down in the last shower! ;)
what’s this hot toast stuff ? that wasn’t around when I left.
is it just toast ? I need to know.
It’s the best thing since sliced bread….but you will pay for such a pioneering foodstuff.
My ring is sore.
Who can I blame?
For heaven’s sake Bobby, knowing that Broadsheet posts this crap, would you not have a look at previous Broadsheet about how the Gresham is expensive like the one from 5 days ago?
Is BS just on a loop now?
Tempted to go look at the loathsome Joe.ie for something less predictable and dull.
Don’t like the price? Then stay out of places you don’t belong you pleb.
elitist blushirt response
€4.50 for a slice of toast!! Burn in Hell Gresham Hotel.
Is this a reflection on the Irish education system?
Moron’s inability to read prices on a menu?
How much did they expect it to cost?
They could have gone elsewhere if they wanted a cheap breakfast, they’re paying for the nice surroundings.
Riff Raff like this shouldn’t be allowed in the Gresham.
In the new and improved Broadsheet, this picture will be accompanied by a 500 word screed on why luxury goods and services should not exist in the New Ireland and we’ll yearn for the brevity of this post.
Suckers!
hotels are expensive.$$$
