Tell me about it - where I work in London (by Marylebone station) the local pub charges £2.50 a pint - at least that's cheaper than most of Horsham!! And the cost of beer in the city is ridiculous!Deb GP wrote:Well - the City is stupidly overpriced. I'm always shocked at the prices whenever I go over for a drink after work with my husband at Moorgate.

Don't know what you were drinking, but that's steep, even for the Black Jug. You should be able to buy a bottle there for one or two pounds more.

i know and we thought maybe a bottle would be better but they wanted £17 for a bottle! The problem is the black jug wants to keep out the noisy young people who frequent the weatherspoons or green dragon and do so by putting their prices very high indeed!!!
so i think that going for a drink in the city will prob be cheaper! who would have thought it

Actually, I had a couple of pints in the Black Jug with John Hopgood last Saturday - the beer's pretty good and not TOO overpriced (although it's not at the lower end of the scale).
Perhaps you should try Piries next time - my Mrs. always seems to enjoy the wine there. It's not that easy to find decent wine in a Horsham pub........
