You'll find that mostly it's the chains that do this as a cost saving mechanism - be it pubs or restaurant groups.
Sorry Cheffie but I have to disagree with you there. Here its everyone, bar the odd one or two. All the hotels ( even the reputable ones), pubs, clubs, schools, hospitals, hotels, B&B's. Yes its a cost thing but what has happened to pride.
The chains rarely deal with us as they have their own supplier.
When I was back home fro xmas the food was great. You can taste the difference. Cooked well, presented well and tasted devine. Plus a steak that was cooked to the way I liked it.
The EU are busy 'cooking' up some new regs for us all to follow. Oh and beware - packaging waste tax will be filtering it's way down to hotels,pubs and others soon. Nightmare in the most sense.
