At £4.50 a pint, bar staff often outnumber customers. Food and drinks remain overpriced at CCS and I wonder if Compass will try and remain in contract but for a far lower deal after 10yrs is up.
Meanwhile, best pies....Charlton. Best chips.....Middlesborough. Winner of the "any excuse to close bars at half time" joint first place, Wolves and Bolton.
