    It was an Indian restaurant

    To be honest we didn't really take note of its name either. It was absolutely peeing it down, saw a special theatre offer sign and bustled our way in :eek: All I can remember is, it was about 10 mins walk from Shaftesbury Avenue

    Buying in a restaurant in London would guarantee paying over the odds!

    Well, we thought we were onto a good thing. It was a special theatre offer of three courses for &pound;10.95. Bargain! Until they slapped &pound;14 service charge on us. The wine was lovely, but cost &pound;18 a bottle. I note you can buy it on the net for a fiver.
