Ouch. It really pains me to do this, but after a recent sting at Peter's Yard I don't think I can keep coming here as often.\n\nI mean I could. But then I might have to stop buying new clothes. And other food. Pretty much just live off one main meal a day at Peter's, and maybe also only afford make-up and shampoo and soap every second month.\n\nOk that's a tad extreme. But when my most recent lunch here -one open salmon, and one pot of tea - came to \u00a310, I was shocked and hurt. Peter, we've had a good run. I've been coming here regularly for 2 years, since I moved to Edinburgh. I eat lunch here at least once a week, and if not that then a cake-date with a friend. I've lauded the wonders of your sourdough pizza to everyone I know, I've bought take-away cake as cheer-up presents for friends countless times, I *even* bought your soup until I discovered it was \u00a36.50. But despite that, I came back.\n\nAnd this time, the soup was down to \u00a35.50. But the sandwiches were up to \u00a37.50. Yes, dear reader. \u00a37.50 for an open smoked salmon sandwich. And \u00a32.50 for a pot of tea. So there was no change from my \u00a310 note.\n\nNow, is it just me being a scrooge, or is this a step too far? I mean...really. I tend to only reserve that much for lunch when it's something like sushi. Yes, the salmon is delicious. And the bread freshly baked. But it's just too much.\n\nSo the food is still delicious, the caf\u00e9 still light and airy. It still has all those qualities that wooed me originally. But I physically cannot afford to eat here as often as I did. Bad, sad times.
