Corkage

[Mrspoppins]

Can an unlicensed restaurant charge corkage on a bottle of wine with a screw-top?

Ooooh Zac, I think I might pay for THAT!!! :-D

Sorry Mrs P,
A recent survey showed that about 80% of Restaurant waiters were gay.SO it might be Zac who would be getting the screwage!(if he's male?)
Come to think of it,why did he think of that? LOL

The answer is YES

Corkage is simply a way of the restaurant to make money, it covers the cost of the use of the glasses etc. If you disagree with the charge, tell them beforehand or simply eat elsewhere. When you think a bottle of 4 quid wine will cost you at least 13 in a restaurant, as long as the corkage charge isn't too excessive, you will save money. I hope this helps.

Thank you everyone. We are going to a place that charges �4.00 for corkage (the wine we would have been bringing doesn't cost much more than that!) I think we'll stay TT for the evening, or at least until we get home!!!
