A diner has been blasted online for promoting a “special deal“ where a pie and a pint costs “only £17.”
A photo of the advertising sign was posted online to Reddit by a shocked passerby with the tongue-in-cheek caption “only...”, to the disgust of other patrons.
The sign, which is thought to have been spotted in London, featured spirited drawings of a pie and a pint, and details of the deal, which only lasts two days per week, reports Daily Star.
The pie and pint offer runs only on Monday and Tuesday, which was concerning for some commenters who said they were fearful of “the price from Wednesday on.”
“Pie and pint only £17 Mon-Tue,” the sign reads, reports Mirror Online.
Although a slight increase in price is expected in the city, many Reddit users were stunned at how expensive it really is, with some distraught over the few coins in change from a £20 note.
“I walk past the place regularly and am bemused each time, glad I’m not the only one,” said one commenter, adding that the establishment is in Bank, in the centre of the city, near the financial district.”
A second person added: “The food is good to be fair but that price is depressing.”
“999: Hello, Police? I’ll like to report a crime,” added another.
“Is the pie covered with gold dust?” wrote someone else.
Another person claims that the establishment charges £15.50 for a pie, while pints usually cost in the region of £7-8.
Previously, a guest slammed a London hotel for being the ‘worst they’ve ever stayed in’.
The Lonsdale Hotel in Holborn, London, offers “basic, budget accommodation in a prime location” according to its website.
But those who have stayed there haven’t had the best experience, with many taking to TripAdvisor to share their complaints.
Out of the 632 reviews the hotel has had on TripAdvisor, 466 are classed as ‘terrible’ with a further 75 being rated as ‘poor’.
