Box Office fish and chips
Anyone actually been to see if this is a scam or not?
Lot of people flapping their gums on fartbook about it but no one actually seems to deemed it worthwhile going in to try it?

It's a well-established place, why would it be a scam?New Direction wrote: ↑Wed Mar 01, 2023 3:26 pmAnyone actually been to see if this is a scam or not?

These are UK prices and then some,a pint of Brewdog Punk IPA in Wetherspoon’s is around USD $4!Harry Monk wrote: ↑Tue Jul 05, 2022 12:38 pmI told you all this place was expensive.
$5.50 a pint for beer!
$10 for a breakfast!
$7.50 for Fish and Chips!
I don't know if the owner is a childish twat or not but he's a robbing bastard at those prices.
No wonder I have never seen a single person in there. One has to assume it's a laundry.
No wonder he’s defaulted to the pay what you want/I’m going bust model?

Wetherspoons also benefits from being able to order a billion kegs at a time, and the bargaining power that stems from such ability. I'd hazard a guess that TBO is the sole importer of those $5.50 beers and probably has to pay through the nose just to guarantee delivery. This isn't new - I recall bottles of Duvel going for $5 back in 2006.Phnom Penh Trader wrote: ↑Wed Mar 01, 2023 4:09 pmThese are UK prices and then some,a pint of Brewdog Punk IPA in Wetherspoon’s is around USD $4!Harry Monk wrote: ↑Tue Jul 05, 2022 12:38 pmI told you all this place was expensive.

I don't particularly like the Box Office but I don't see what it has in common with Wetherspoons, which are big dumps full of hooligans. Last time I was in the UK, in August, it was £6 - £7 for a pint. The Box Office has always been busy anytime I've been there and their customers are not the type to chase 50 cent beers.

That beer is not really expensive in terms of buzz for your buck. When I still did that sort of thing, I remember getting a much better buzz on 15 bucks' worth of that stuff than on 15 bucks of canned local piss.

Curious to see if anybody has paid nothing to date.
I wonder what the reaction would be?

One prominent 440-er ate and drank there for years and paid nothing.

Well a friend and I ate there yesterday.
The burger was good,, the fries were a bit undercooked, it was pretty packed inside.
We both paid $5 and the owner didn't spit in our faces.
I went there not for the cheap food or comedy, but with the hope of making a pass at RobW's sister. Alas she didn't turn up.
