If you’re working withing striking distance of Selfridges then how does a Caviar, smoked salmon and crayfish salad for £8.50 sound?
Yes it sounds a bit pricey. But hang on, this is very much a luxury lunch and we should know because we ate one. Those fancy ingredients don’t come cheap and the salad maker is generous. There was plenty of all the expensive things, well balanced with tenderly cooked salad potatoes, a crisp and spicy salad and even a couple of lime wedges to squeeze over the top. Try getting all that in a High Street chain, the one whose name we know as ‘Cold n Wet’ in rhyming slang.
