I doubt anyone can afford their stupidly high prices

I am of the opinion, that in Newbury, there is a certain clientle that like to be seen to be able to afford the LSB. A 'yes I know this 4 drink round is costing £16.85, but I can afford it......' choke, loser,,,,

£16.85?????????????????
Holy.....

they actually deserve to go out of business, the food is a joke as well.

That is quite amusing.

The LSB is insanely overpriced though - I swear it was about £4.20 a pint last time I visited.

No, the joke is you went there to order 'food'

Yes, but it survives, & does quite well because of these prices.

It is if your are daft enough to buy a 'posh' drink like Peroni, or whatever.

That is absolutely correct. It is just a shame the prices don't reflect the efficiency of the bar service.

Keeps out the riff raff.....

a bit like Park Way - the proles can sod off to the Kennet Centre......

I never go in there, had a burger in there once and it was £10. Its not a restaurant, it's a pub and a pretty average one IMO.

I think that the staff there are a LOT more friendly than most of the primary pubs in Newbury.

The cost of the food reflects the fact that it is ACTUALLY all homemade, even the veggie burgers are put together by the chefs.

I am a fan of them on facebook and they were nice enough to publish a 20% off food voucher, so if any of you have always wondered but never done:

20% off food at the LSB

I don't actually know the costs (rent, council fees, blah, blah...) or anything, but to have a pub right in the centre of town on the nice part of the canal, well...compartatively speaking...who uses their outside space really quite well. I'd expect to pay more than I do at the Hogs Head!

Is it just me who appreciates having a nice pub to sit in? I think it is the nicest in Newbs for sure!

but that does'nt disguise the fact that it is overpriced, 20% off too much is still too much. It's pub grub at the end of the day.

Fullers think so too. You can buy a pint of London Pride in the 'spoons for over a quid less than in the LSB & yet the LSB is owned by the brewers of London Pride......!

thanks for the voucher btw

Thats a bit like comparing a Mercedes do a Lada. They are both cars at the end of the day.

That's alright

But I doubt 'Spoons look after their ales as much as Fullers do? I used to have a prtner who was a bit of an Anal Ale-er (That word might be **'d out, if so then he was an Ale Snob) and he would not drink ale from 'Spoons because they jsut don't know how to store it or pour it!!

I would like someone to have a pint of it in Spoons then a pint of it in the LSB and see if there is a difference.

If I want restaurant prices I goto a restaurant where I can sit down and have waitress service.

When it isn't heaving with people I have been offered table service, and just for drinks!

My family went there last year for my mothers birthday, we booked a table and were very well looked after, never needing to get up to go to the bar even though they were relatively busy.
