When at our place in the Cotswolds this is one of our locals.......take a look at the Menus for food and drink and you'll get a good idea of the crazy prices now in U.K. I always feel like I've been "raped and pillaged" after a visit :crazy:

On they "Outdoor Dining Menu" they have the following. The price always makes me chuckle

Sharing Aged British Beef Tomahawk Steak (gf) 115.95
Bone Marrow & Canadian Maple Butter

Nice people in this area...Or as the locals would say muy buena gente..
A lot in Marbella gave a drink on the house when you settle the bill and some give tapas. But most are expensive restaurants.

Just asking, does anywhere in Spain sell Expresso martini? it's a cocktail Grandson and friends just got back from Mojacar Almeria and they said no one sells it.

I forgot, we also get a free drink at the end of our menu del dia too ..... to get back on subject, we always usually use contactless to pay but last time their internet was down and so we had to pay cash ..... luckily we did have some, but I'm sure they would have trusted us to go to the ATM and return to pay the bill.
