Yes, I had an extremely tough steak at a Harvester. Even with 20% off it's not great,

So you still ate it ????

Struggling ! Is that you ?????

From today's update "We continue to make good progress with our plans to build a more balanced estate, in particular premiumising our offers where possible"

By "premiumising" their offer I suppose they mean more of the Miller and Carter brand. They certainly charge a premium price for their steaks but the T-bone I had in one of their outlets over the holidays was rubbish. They could make a start by premiumising the quality of their meat.

This co. a conundrum, Lewis, Magnier, Smith and Co. most likely to want to take this private on the cheap! However it is not Wetherspoons, known for low overheads, good value, MAB has many out of town eateries, more a diner chain with the emphasis on carveries in the Harvester style although with premium houses. Wetherspoon's has lot's of choice in ales and on the menu, but the value in MAB is the estate rather than the top line, NAV suggests the shares undervalued, but are pubs on the edge of the M1 at Redbourn worth their salt, if so they are a raging buy with a decent dividend.

CEO, appointed last year, is showing impact in blowing away cob webs in the C suite and driving some of the existing best sites in the UK.

And so we see the trading update today. At last some good news and all because I decided to use one of my shareholders 20% discount vouchers just before Christmas! Those of you holding through nominees, of course, probably don't get them. Another swindle perpetrated by the platforms.
