| Comment | A large part of it might be folk like me who until fairly recently used to go out to nice restaurants pretty regularly (like 2-3 times a month for my wife and I, proper poncy foody types), but just can't justify that cost any more - we can still afford to go out, but now stick to cheaper places like cafes and 'casual' dining where the money goes further. And even then we only eat out these days if we're going to a gig or something, which we don't do much either because ticket prices have pretty much doubled in a couple of years.
So I wonder if the increased business of cafes and pizza joints etc is matched by a drop in custom for proper restaurants |
