We went to the Japanese Fusion restaurant at lunctime , it was marvellous !
The portions they give are pretty big , but if you can"T eat it all not allowed to take away as one does in the States.
Probably someone will say it is to do with Elf & safety but that seems a bit daft to me .
You have paid for the food why should you not be allowed to take it away ?

Most good restaurants will willingly serve small portions if you ask!

MY younger DGC think a Harvester is a great treat.

Shows where my mind is - when I saw the notice 'doggy bags' I assumed they were dog poo bags.grin

Reminds me of eating out with daughter and grand-kids a couple of years ago at an Italian chain. The youngest left quite a bit of pasta but since he likes it cold we asked for a doggy bag. It was brought rather reluctantly with a long form that mum had to fill in absolving them of any blame if he got food poisoning from their left overs!

Nonu - I love that you called Birmingham sophisticated tchsmile I'm not sure some would agree but I do. The Harvester which I went to last was in West Bromwich ! They have a lovely new little shopping centre there are are doing their best (and succeeding) to improve the badly neglected town. In a couple of years they may qualify for 'sophisticated' too. tchgrin

dorsetpennt I thought this thread would be about poo bags too. Just popped in to complain about people leaving them lying around, pool preserved for posterity.

Okay, I'll complain about doggy bags instead. My mother was always terrible in smart restaurants wanting to pockets left over scraps, literally for her dog.
No worries about taking nice food home though.
