When we arrived at Everything on a Stick, we had a sneaking suspicion it used to be the ill-fated Minibar: a drinking venue whose concept involved serving yourself drinks out of a fridge, but then paying bar prices for the privilege. I never got why anyone would want to do it: I mean, I can sit on my own sofa with my own music playing and my own friends round for the evening, and everyone can help themselves to drinks from the fridge for a fraction of the price – or am I missing something?
So what, we wondered, is it with this venue and ill-conceived concepts? Everything on a Stick serves (as you might expect) all its food on a stick. Except the fried rice, which doesn’t come on a stick obviously, because that would just be stupid. But then again, why serve it at all?
Anyway, it’s also an all-you-can-eat restaurant, although there are various conditions attached to this claim: you only have two hours in which to stuff your face; you can only order in rounds of three dishes at the time; and one of those dishes has to be a ‘side dish’, meaning carbs or veggies, presumably to keep the costs down.
