Disagree, although I have paid more for a guest beer in Fruit and I only bought one and haven't rushed back. At a £5 a pint it gives the impression that everything at the Food Fest is overpriced which will deter people from attending. For example I bumped into an old mate in town when walking to the Fest and he said he was going elsewhere to eat because '£10 for a burger, **** that'. It's not £10 for a burger but he assumed it would be because someone said the food was expensive ( it's not, it's virtually for nowt) We needs these festivals to be well attended and for that to happen the public don't need to be ripped off simply because it is a festival. Anyhow at a fiver a pint across the board the beer tent wasn't as well attended as it was at the first food fest which speaks for itself. Atom is a lovely pint by the way but £3.50 tops and more people might be tempted to enjoy it.
I didn't give it much thought to be honest I bought mine at the gin bar £5 is a bit expensive admittedly...but it saves ****ing about carrying change so it's not all bad
does it though? i mean i literally can't remember the last time i went to a place for a pint less than £4.. so £5 not much extra is it but what is this bar? is it the new concert hall they built? they got that finished quick

He's right though ain't he. Look at the drunks you see when it's £2 a pint. There's drunken yobs all over
Who said it had to be £2 a pint ? I've you just spent a very enjoyable afternoon in The Whalebone, with a huge choice of hand pulled real ales served in a glass in a proper pub, not a tent and in a plastic container, and none of the ales were more than £3.80 a pint. Not a drunk in sight either.
