£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 :eek:

This is Newbury BTW, not Park Lane!

I fail to see why everyone seems to think anything of decent quality has to cost more :confused:

And they wonder why folks are buying cheap beer & drinking at home.

was paying €6 a pint in France last week. Thankfully all on expenses ;)

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 :cuckoo:

Waitrose are doing 8 cans of Abbott Ale for £7.50.

I'll stick to that!

your £5 breaks down into
lining MPW's pocket
paying the bills
keeping out the chavs
