Stayed at Le Manoir a few years back. My ex father in law had always wanted to go there, and had a bit of a windfall. £1,500 a night for a suite, with a shower cubicle that was bigger than my house.
food was unbelievable, and met the great Raymond Blanc afterwards. how's that for a freebie

Cost doesn't necessarily mean good food, Hakkasan has always disappointed for example.
Favourite for food is the Blue Bicycle in York.

Had my best meal ever at Petrus.
Terre a terre does indeed do lovely vegetarian grub. Food for friends seems to do healthier stuff, and as such, isn't as tasty.

Of course, but in comparison terms its hard to justify how one meal can equal a months worth of food if you get my point.
