Lesson one: never order a carafe of wine.
, she points out. “One of my husband and mine’s greatest luxuries is to go to an amazing BYO Punjabi restaurant in Tooting Bec, and have a nice bottle of wine and some kebabs,” she says. “It’s a date night for us – and the bill is £30.”; you just need a book and a tenner. A glass of wine and a bar snack on your way home from work provides much of the feeling of having been “out” at a fraction of the cost. Like getting your nails done, says Sabrina, it’s “an independent act of self-love”.
If wine is your poison of choice, then look for places with corkage, which is different to BYO. “You bring your own nice bottle of wine, then pay a small fee to cover the loss the restaurant makes from you not drinking theirs,” he says. Another good tip: avoid carafes. “I’ve never ordered a carafe and not ended up ordering one more glass, by which point you might as well have ordered a bottle.”
Do consider choosing one blindingly great glass of wine over several good ones, too. “If you’re a wine lover, having one nice glass is a good way of cutting down spending,” says Rosie Birkett, the food writer and author behind the popularnewsletter. And if you simply must order a bottle? Go New World rather than Old World, advises Dan O’Regan of BANK in Bristol – or opt for the house wine, says Gavin Rankin, whose restaurant Bellamy’s has been showing how hospitality is done for almost 20 years.
