without asking the price. We ordered tea one afternoon only to be
shocked to pay three pounds sterling ($6 USD) for two cups of tea. A
Watergardens pub was charging less than half that. When asked if we
wanted garlic bread with our meal, another restaurant charged us two pounds
sterling each ($8 USD) for four pieces of garlic bread. |
