If they can afford to do this, it really does show the mark up...

We actually found Brewers Fayre to be more expensive under the eat in scheme. My friend and I go for lunch at £8.99 for the 2 of us. Under the offer it was 50% off the regular menu which worked out more !
I noticed the 2 meals for £8.99 is back today ! All the chains have offers for daytime early in the week. I can’t imagine there is much mark up when all costs are taken in to account.
