agree with you there but long lunches don't come cheap these days (if you intend on sipping/guzzling wine all afternoon), otherwise they could just adjourn to the pub next door.

not necessarily the whole avo - just a few bottles of wine, desert, coffee over a couple/ three hours or so. So a place where it's relaxed about that - e.g. guilleton - if you ever go there they are just trying to get you out asap to get someone else in which sort of impinges on the whole enjoyment of a situation if you know what I mean.
