£5 a pint - Marco Pierre White in Newbury!
I like a decent pint of real ale, but MPW is taking the Mickey charging at £5 a pint:
The Times
This is Newbury BTW, not Park Lane!
I fail to see why everyone seems to think anything of decent quality has to cost more
And they wonder why folks are buying cheap beer & drinking at home.

Copenhagen a few weeks ago, was paying about £8 a pint - it was expensive enough before the exchange rate went against us.

I went quite a few years ago thinking it was a pub. It was obviously a restaurant when we got there, but we still asked for a beer for some reason. Bit awkward.

Not many complain when buying a bottle of poncy lager for £3.50 a bottle. That's usually a
1/2 pint bottle , so £7 a pint
