I think they have always been franchised, the strangly named "Digby Trout Catering Ltd" at one point.
What used to be WingCo Joe's, now The Workshop Restaurant IIRC was doing cooked breakfast for £6 yesterday (£4.80 with member's discount). OK not especially cheap but not bad as these things go and you at least got a proper plate, knife and fork and table service! Not particularly busy either at 10.30.
Maybe I should get up earlier then! sounds very reasonable so apologies but when I went there back in the spring I thought they seemed higher prices than previously maybe they treat the earlier risers to a bargain deal
Their normal lunchtime menu seems pricey for what it is. I have not sampled it since the change of brand but maybe trying to be something it is not and charging what I would assume to be "London" prices. But then I am out of touch. If it is not viable I imagine it will change again before long.
I don't know if the breakfast price was an airshow special? If so it worked as they relieved me of £4.80 to supplement my picnic! Not 5 star but quite respectable.
