I'm just suggesting its cafe should be recognised for similar qualities to the museum - expense not being one of them.
My ire was fuelled having spent ?7 on a bottle of a (never-heard-of-it-brand) mineral water, a tuna (soggy) baguette and a (processed) ham and (rubber) cheese (stale) sandwich.
I'm sorry, but using the term "fine" to describe the food suggests to me that even you concede the food is little more than acceptable. There are precedents for superior food at equivalent prices in countless park and high street cafes within a 2 mile radius of the Horniman - one within a five minute walk.
