Well I don’t understand why there needs to be a separate menu for people over 55. Maybe when I’m over 55 I’ll understand but for now I don’t. What is the difference between someone who is 40 and 55?

Do people eat different things when they are over 55? I still think it’s being ageist.

I'm there... I eat less - we are supposed to eat less as we get older. Also less salt and saturated fat due to health problems.

Much nicer to have a senior menu rather than having to negotiate price on half portions or put up with smiley faced child menu items.

But isn’t that the same for all ages. The majority of people in the UK consume more sugar/salt/fat than they are aware of as a lot of it is hidden in processed foods. This is regardless of age. Is 55 considered senior? If so, why do I have to work until I’m 68? 🤔😬

My father in law is over 60 and would eat (and drink I might add) significantly more than I would and I’m 39. Which is why I suggested in my earlier post that maybe it could have been worded differently.

Anyway... regardless.. if there was one near me I wouldn’t be boycotting it based on the fact I don’t like the wording of its menu.. those pancakes full of fat, sugar and salt look delicious! 😂

You will still be able to order off the over 55 I reckon. My local Eating Inn do this, call it silver years or something now. Its a way of attracting in 'seniors', who are often more frugal, and attempting to put non seniors off ordering the cheaper meals.

I don't understand the problem with the +55 menu, no-one if forcing you to eat from it if you object, and yes l am one of those who has a smaller appetite and is over 55.
