Claret   10 #39 Posted July 14, 2013 So I'm going out with 7 friends tomorrow night on Ecclesall Road, and they want to go to a *preferably* cheap and Italian restaurant (doesn't have to be Italian) where they can bring their own bottle of wine. I was just wondering if anybody had any suggestions?  You're probably better off going to London road as a few of the restaurants are byob. Zeugmas springs to mind... it's not Italian though.   Posted from Sheffieldforum.co.uk App for Android Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Clown Shoes   10 #40 Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) Stay in & put one in the oven!  Ive never understood people going out for a meal that you can quite easily cook yourself!  And doing it on the cheap where you can bring your own alcohol! Have you tried a homeless shelter?  Thought meals out were meant to be a treat! Edited July 14, 2013 by Clown Shoes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Random Shout   10 #42 Posted July 15, 2013 Buy a bottle from the restaurant, that's like bringing your own cans of pop to a cafe. I wouldn't allow it if I was a restaurant owner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I wouldn't allow it if I was a restaurant owner.  I think they mean a place that does BYO, often wont have a license to sell. its a good option as you can take along a bottle you know is nice and save a bit of money.  I take it you agree with wine pricing in restaurants? £5 in tescos, £17.50 in a restaurant seems pretty standard.  ---------- Post added 16-07-2013 at 11:51 ----------  Stay in & put one in the oven! Ive never understood people going out for a meal that you can quite easily cook yourself!  And doing it on the cheap where you can bring your own alcohol!

gravity426   10 #48 Posted July 17, 2013  if it was my restaurant would charge for tap water!! why do people think tap water is free?? it isnt!  you sound delightful. The restaurant business is missing a trick. £1 for a toilet break would also bump up the coffers, except you would have no customers.
