I just can't conceive of how they make a profit at those prices. Even in bulk I would have thought the sum total of the raw ingredients must be edging towards a quid and that's before costs of running the business are taken into account. Amazing!

The problem with gimmicks they only last as long as the money does - if they aint making a profit - why work all the hours?

How big are the portion sizes for a squid i wouldn't image that they could be too big - like SS says even cooking in bulk there will be no profit - unless there are no staff wages and no tax and no overheads etc - very doubtful.

Would be nice to have a mozzie along and have a taste though

I think its pretty obvious at to why they will do this, to gain custom, and as long as the food is nice and even when they raise their prices they will probably retain that custom as long as the food is as nice or better than they are used to

I hope they've raised their hygiene standards since last October!

Yes, but very little money so as you would have been even more likely to contract food poisoning after taking out a second mortgage to eat at the Fat Duck in 2009, I would still think it's worth a punt.
