£75 is actually good value if it includes the room and some wine too.
As it stands it just seems like you pay £75 for some food. You need to market this bad-boy a little better!

I think eybic means the hire of the room where we eat; not everybody's accomodation.

It does include wine on the tables, a pre-dinner bar and if we're lucky some post dinner drinking as well.

£75 for a (bed)room dinner & booze would be worth that alone.

Jeremy is right, it's the room we eat in not a bedroom, these can be booked with the venue, we're looking into other accommodation options too

Holy Mary......!! £75 for that? Surely a mistake, and a bad one at that. I can recommend Wetherspoons "Fish Friday" for a good meal at £5.09 with inclusive soft drink, or £6.09 with alchoholic drink. O.K. all businesses need to make a profit, but.........
I expect it's a bit of a joke published to get people jumping up and down a bit - let's hope so and look forward to the proper 'advertisement'.

It's a lot of money, but there is the free booze which kind of lessens the blow, but struggling to justify this year.
Menu is not on e to grab you, and the venue is very nice but we kind of fancy somewhere different. In recent years the food has been good though (apart from the liver mix up)

It's kind of worth the £75 not just for the food/booze but to catch up with folks and meet new, but I understand for some that doesn't really equate.

We are still flipping the decision coin here.

You could chat over the fence to your mates in Leyhill - or more likely they'll pop round for a pie and a pint.
