How many 'starters' how many 'main' etc

[Harryburgundy]

It really does depend on the type of cuisine.

I see no real problem with a larger restaurant providing as much choice as their kitchen can sustain, but the way they arrange the menu is key.

For a small place, I do tend to agree a small variety is sufficient.

Concentrate on the quality, not the choice, in my opinion.

However when it comes to wine, it totally pisses me of when you get a choice of only half a dozen. It is easy enough to keep a reasonable stock of wine.

Yup
That's the cookie cookie...in a City you may well be able to do that, and do it well...but even in London i would say its a big ask....in Cardiff? Hardly gastro city.
Keep it small and keep it fresh I would have thought. Wines lists?...my biggest bug-bear...most restuarateurs buy on price and nothing more

I was in a restaurant in Vegas where they had around 100 wines. When you ordered them, girls in mission impossible harnesses zipped up and down a tower to the right bin to retrieve your bottle.

If you have enough wines to do that that sounds about right.
