Dining For a Penny?

Credit Crunch Initiative from ‘Little Bay' Restaurant in London

Great credit crunch news. Now you can dine out and pay what you like. A London restaurant, called Little Bay, situated in Ferringdon, London, has scrapped its checks. Instead of charging a set price for each dish, they ask their customers to pay what they think their food and service is worth.

I think this is an absolutely brilliant idea and great example which I hope more restaurants will follow suit. The Little Bay restaurants are renowned for their fresh, hearty meals set in an opulent decor. If you are visiting London or happen to live in this neck of the wood visit Little Bay for more details.
