VAT 2.5% less, so you will save 10p
Lowering the Vat rate, is not going to save you very much I’m afraid.
From Monday we will be reducing the VAT amount we charge you from 17.5% to 15%.
There is always some confusion about this, in fact some people think that takeaways are not vatable. But I’m afraid they.
Hot food takeaways include VAT, cold foods are not. For instance food bought from the supermarket, or sandwiches from the local garage do not have VAT included in the price. But fish and chips, pizza, chinese, indian etc. If they are served to you hot, will be liable for VAT.
So how will that effect you, From Monday 1st December a main course that now costs £5.90 will from Monday cost £5.80. A meal that costs £7.90 will cost from Monday £7.70.
I have decided not to go to the expense of printing new menus, with the new prices, but will put a sticker on the menu saying that you will be charged the appropriate at the point of sale. We will leave it up to the computer to work things out to the nearest 10p.
Will it make any difference, well it wont make us all dash out and buy more takeaways that’s for sure.
Of course if you spend £1000 you will save you £21.30 approximately, again it wont make me rush out and buy something of that value. Will you..Be interested in you comments
No commentsChristmas In Farnborough is a coming up waaay too early
Yep Christmas in Farnborough is coming way to early, not just Farnborough but everywhere else as well..
Hi there,
Is it me or is Christmas coming too early this year!
Last year’s Christmas parties that were held at Popadoms are still vivid and yes I remember them well, some were rowdy others were very laid back events. But we love em all!
We have our staff Christmas party in January because December is too crazy at times. Of course our Nepalese staff do not celebrate Christmas like us christians, as they are in fact Hindus, but they make a jolly good fist of it.
One thing I have noticed over the years of running a restaurant is the number of small parties that seem to come to us.
In these days of bosses not coughing up the funds, more and more groups of people who work within a department or company are taking things into their own hands and having a night out.
It doesn’t have to be an expensive one, although there are plenty of restaurants charging quite high prices and there is a company offering a night out in the farnborough area with entertainment at nearly £70, but you do get to be squashed up with 100’s of other people for 5 hours if you wish.
Having looked around, most seem priced up at £17.95-£22.95.
Our £12.95 early bird menu seems popular, but there have been quite a few enquiries for the £15.95, which I think offers really reat value.
Wont be long now…gonna have to get those Xmas decorations up and I wonder when and where we will hear our first christmas song…I wonder if they are already playing them in certain shops.

No commentsChristmas at Popadoms
Are you having a Christmas Party in Fanborough this year.
I’ve just put up our Christmas party menu on the website, you can view the page here.
In these credit crunch time, we have decided to have two menus. A cheaper two course one at £12.95 and a three course menu at £15.95, which is £2.00 less than last year.
I guess a lot of companies may not be holding a Christmas do this year, or maybe they might think twice about having to pay for it.
I know there are a lot of restaurants similar to us that are charging £20-25 per person, but in these current times, I think they are really “chancing their arm”.
Now what If some of your crowd don’t want Indian, well we’ve got some great English alternatives as well. Take a look athe the menu here.
If you are thinking of booking a restaurant for your Christmas “Do” then, I hope you will consider us as I guarantee you will be well taken care of.
