    Every time I hear the word burger it reminds me of a friend , we went out and had a burger meal for £6.80 just lovely until a month later she had her bank statement and saw her £6.80 contactless payment was actually £68.00 . No receipt , no refund . Check the machine before you tap and always get a receipt .

    What I don't understand is why you didn't complain about the grease/oil and allow them to correct the mistake. If nothing else you could have got a price reduction for the poor standard of food. As a former chef, and in my opinion, that food was totally unacceptable for the price. Scribbles should be ashamed of themselves.

      You may want to LOOK AGAIN (at about the 4.30 mark). He lifts OFF the top half (with burger, cheese and bacon... The tomato is on the bottom 'half', sitting on the lettuce and base bun. You can see 'juices or oils' dripping down (from what I suspect is the cheese and burger, but NOT the tomato!).
      EDIT: I'm in London and you can get some fantastic, homemade burgers (with chips) for lunch at half the price - Yes, I know I'm maybe comparing 'apples and oranges', because of staff wages and 'sit down' diner overheads, but £20 + for that burger, chips and drink is not cheap! They would be comparable to some London prices that many complain about.

    Just checked with a local diner that we havent been to in a while. I love their beef liver and onions. Comes with soup, salad, potato, and bread. Oh and a slice of spinach pie. All that used to cost $10.95 US. As of yesterday it now costs $19.99 US. So that cancelled that idea. Then i looked up my favorite Italian place to see if they've gone up too. Price for spaghetti and meatballs used to be $10.95, the meatballs are huge and you get 3. Comes with salad and garlic rolls. Now its $20.00. doubled in price. Sodas are $4.00 and thats just ridiculous. Its gotten so ridiculously overpriced that we cant afford to eat out unless the restaurant is having a special. We only do special occasions now. Its a shame.

    Great to see you all out having a meal, what a shocker though when you think of the quality and value of the Ragged Apron.
    Since the Pandemic so many places have got sloppy and are over expensive.
    So many places here on the Isle of Wight charge £15+ for a Burger meal
    £16+ for a Roast and many places charge over £3 for a coffee.

    😢19 quid for burger and chips?!!! Scandalous!
    I think these places should be ashamed of themselves, charging high end prices for very average food.
    We're natural tight wads: 2 lunches for £10.99 at a local Brewers Fayre or a Carvery does us during the week! Somewhere like the Apron would be right up our street!
    I'm not one to complain usually (but did recently at Miller & Carter, well just said something wasn't very nice when asked "How is your food?" = refunded us, which we said wasn't necessary (nice one M&C!)), but I'd have sent back those chips.

Humble Burger and the Beach Hut At Lossimouth. Both of these places were a lot more tastier and cheaper. Our review was how it happened on the day. Others have also said the same thing so there might me something that needs looking into. The pizza was very good as was the service but no one mention's that. It wasn't a matter of complaining, we were there for a review of the food and it wasn't up to scratch on that occasion.

      It was a review, We always finish the food unless it is inedible. The point of finishing it is to see if it fills you up. No we don't complain, the point is to review without them knowing so you don't get special service and to see what the food is like. On this occasion, the burger and fries were not worthy of the price in my opinion. Others have said the same.

    I am sorryi love you guys but as someone who has worked in the catering industry for 30 years it makes me sad to see you eat 95% of your meals without complaining of poor food to the staff.

      It's an unbiased review on our experience. No different than TripAdvisor. Why shouldn't we express our findings, it may help them to improve rather than just give a refund. I bet if the management sees this video, they will act on it immediately instead of the issue just being reported to a member of staff who would probably just give a discount and move on without their issue being rectified.

    £17 for a burger and fries what a rip off. I make my own burgers with 5% fat mince, a bit of onion, a few breadcrumbs and an egg to bind it together. Each burger costs less than a pound if I buy the mince at the full price, which is very rare as most of the time I use mince that's reduced by 30% or 60% meaning that each burger can cost as little as 50p. In Jan 2023 I got 4Kg of 5% mince for 90p per 400g pack, the mince was use by that day,2/1/23 but each burger that I made cost about 23p each. I also made 20 mince and onion pies with two packs of the mince with each pie costing about 15p per pie as the 2Kg of flour, I bought from a site that sells food that is excess or just out of the best before date was 5p per Kg and the Marg was 99p. If possible I never pay full price for anything.

    As someone that lives in Elgin... yeah for what you got that was overpriced.
    100% they have to pay their staff min wage and they can't always be busy but even so the actual amount just isn't worth is, no salad or anything just the burger/cheese/bun(sure little garnish) and chips that put it to nearly £17
    That's pretty bad... two onion rings / Coslaw / Salad would have at least made the plate fuller rather than £13 (cause no way you can say that amount of chips are worth more than £3) for just a burger.
    I like scribbles haven't been in a while but em yeah it's went from a place to go before the cinema or for a nice lunch to somewhere doing big city prices
    Although saying that knowing how the council is run I can quite imagine the council are taxing and charging them big city prices to be there.
