I hate that every half decent restaurant has silly dress codes with most of them falling under the smart casual code. Look im paying you 100 pounds for dinner if i want to wear jeans and trainers then who cares? As long as you dont look like a meth addled tramp then whats the problem? I wonder if its a classist thing, since its britain? Ok you are too poor to own a suit so you dont belong.... i do own a suit and shirt and even a tie but i want to be comfortable when im out and not conform to some silly code of what you think i should be wearing as long as im clean and tidy who cares? I just find it silly and annoying. What do you all think? |

Registered 16 years agoIt's about the experience and making the surroundings nice for other people. If everybody looks
smart and nice, it makes it a nicer experience all round.
You filthy tramp. -

Registered 14 years agoConversely I hate being out to dinner at a half-decent restaurant in trousers, shirt & maybe a tie and being sat near some scruffy git in their jeans and t-shirt. I think it's a class thing. -

It's easier to say "wear a suit" than try to have subjective dress codes. What constitutes a meth addled tramp to one person is just a scruffy person to the next. So one day I get turned away because I am not smart enough, the next day my friend, dressed exactly the same gets in as it's a different waiter who has interpreted the rules differently. So I get shitty and tell the restaurant to fuck off and it all gets messy.
Much easier to just say "wear a suit." -

You just have to press with enough force. -
The Ivy has no dress code.
In fact, the scruffier you dress, the more famous people will assume you are. -

Or just cut suitable holes. -

Registered 13 years agoI second the what restaurants are these? I work in a casual, dot.com style office, so we go to posh restaurants in Jeans and t-shirts all the time, it's bill-gates chic.
I think it's an attitude thing, or possibly a BO thing, there's a world of difference from casual jeans to smelly tramp jeans. -

This is the thing a £5 pair of jeans look like a £5 pair of jeans.
I've been let in places before where I havent adhered to the dress code but because I'm so dapper, I can get away with it. -

I'm not usually a supporter of Tesco but I back them completely on this policy...

Preferably, if not, then add giant squirting flower on lapel. -

Claridges and the other Gordon Ramsey restaurants have dress codes, but I think it's just "no jeans or trainers", nothing beyond that. Buddha Bar is also no trainers.
The only restaurant I know of that has a true dress code (i.e. jacket required) is The Ritz, and you know...it's The Ritz. It's kinda what you go there for (not that I go there).
Ironically many many more nightclubs (and strip clubs) have codes than restaurants. The vast majority of restaurants have none, even the most expensive ones. And frankly if you're going to an expensive restaurant dressed like a tramp then you're either George Michael or a dick. -
If I was to go to an expensive restaurant and there was no dress code I'd still want to suit up.
I was in a posh'ish place last night just for a drink and everyone that was walking through the door was dressed nice and smart then there is me sat there in a hoodie, jeans and trainers and I felt rather scruffy and out of place.
My step brother got my family into The Fat Duck on Tuesday and I can't imagine anyone getting to up the drive way without a suit.
I didn't go because I'm poor

What the? I've been to loads of nice and fairly expensive restaurants wearing jeans and a tshirt. No one batted an eyelid, they just wanted my money is all. -
This is my favourite bit:

Edit: shit, I was actually looking to see about maybe treating my wife for a meal there. £160pp for the tasting menu is a bit out of my range though. Plus service charge that's £360 before you even think of drinks.
Anyone recomend anywhere good that I'd get away for under £200?
