  Thanks for the Deliveroo heads-up Rob, would have taken me months to notice the credits for the subscription had stopped!

• Robert says:

  Cancelled. Thanks for the warning!

  Why would the atmosphere be different? Anyone can become a Bonvoy member – it’s hardly an elite club.

  • Rob says:

    Because you’re not sitting with 14 random people with random interests who are spending real money. You’re sitting with 14 people who are there for a freebie group event and who have a shared interest.

      It’s not free though is it.
      Those points are a hotel stay or miles.

      And even at the minimum of 50k points doesn’t strike me as great value.

      Good at least that moments this side of the Atlantic starting to come back to life.

        exactly 50 points are worth minimum £250 and I’d rather spend them on a night @ Langley/St Pancreas/Edition etc

        Will pay Darjeeling Express 1 day as I have heard its worth it

  I know it’s getting dark earlier, but Marriott are pushing things to call 1pm to 4pm an evening event.

  You can get Deliveroo+ for free with with Amazon Prime

  • Andrew says:

    Which is exactly what Rob says in the article above!

  Not sure any Indian restaurant can justify those prices normally tbh.

  Maybe not for atmosphere’ but the best Indian restaurants in London are not the pricey ones.

  • Ken says:

    You just associate Indian restaurants with cheap.

    But then Oysters were once the food of the poor & clydeside shipbuilding apprentices once went on strike in protest at being continually being served salmon.

    Atul Kochaar justifies every penny of his ridiculously expensive restaurants.

      Met Atol Kuchar at the Tom Kerridge food festival in St Albans, sat down and spoke for 20 minutes, ate all three of the generous sample dishes at £6 a pop and got a selfie. That’s the way to enjoy it!

    I find most Indian restaurants in uk serve a western or tourist version of Indian food.
    I once asked for more spice and they added a spoonful of chilli powder in the curry!

    • Qrfan says:

      Because asking for “more spice” is an incredibly western thing to do when eating an Indian meal?? What you got was an eye roll in culinary form.

    • Anuj says:

      Unfortunately even the high end indian restaurants like the one in this article are likely to be inauthentic. I’ve only once had food in an indian restaurant in the UK that was anywhere close to authentic and that was in a small restaurant on brick lane.

      • TGLoyalty says:

        14 Oct14 October 15:16

        You go out for Authentic Indian food?

        I make it at home therefore I’m not really looking for “authentic”

        • Anuj says:

          14 Oct14 October 16:27

          Not really because I’m Indian, but sometimes when I go for a meal with friends they pick Indian so I’m not going to be awkward and say no.

        • TGLoyalty says:

          14 Oct14 October 22:32

          I guess my point is Indian restaurants are very rarely authentic, they do exist though, but that’s OK because I’m not looking for something I can make extremely well at home.

    • The Savage Squirrel says:

      Much like visiting an Italian restaurant in the USA, it’s effectively its own separate culinary form now; and I suppose we should prepare your expectations for exactly that.

  • Dave says:

    Just get them to manually add it on chat, that’s what I did

  Rob, small typo: “the credit don’t roll over from month to month if unused”

    You can’t take Rotherham out of the boy even if he lives in Kensington

    • Rob says:

      14 Oct14 October 22:05

      I was in two minds as to write ‘won’t’ or ‘doesn’t’ and ended with ‘don’t’ 🙂
