BYOF - BRING YOUR OWN FOOD
Ever want to show off your home cookery skills but didn’t have a big enough space to invite all of your friends?
Ever feel like eating your favourite Take Away food but didn’t feel like having to take it home to eat & clean up?
Have a group of friends or family where some are vegetarian, others want fish, others prefer Chinese?
Have young children who enjoy fast food while you'd just like a good wine out?
Want a perfect bottle of local or natural wine but want a fuller meal than an (albeit delicious) cheese board?
We want all of those things too and so we’d like to welcome you to BYOF – Bring Your Own Food to artisan&vine.
Bring Your Own Food to artisan&vine for a small “plateage” (instead of “corkage”) charge of £2.50 per person. Aside from renting you a nice little space at artisan&vine, plateage buys you use of a plate, cutlery and clean up during your time at artisan&vine. BYOF is available when you buy a bottle of wine at artisan&vine (which we’re happy to re-cork for you to take home if you don’t finish it). artisan & vine keep a range of menus and phone numbers from recommended local take away restaurants, so you can call to order food to be delivered to your table without ever leaving the bar.
It's a recession friendly solution for a special night out. See below for terms and conditions.
How BYOF works:
1. You bring your own food from home, a shop or take away; or you phone a local take away restaurant and place an order.
2. We give you a plate and cutlery.
3. You enjoy your chosen food!
The plateage of £2.50/person is added to your bill... bargain!
