Mr Thomas' Chop House, Manchester

Have been here before due to its pleasant old fashioned decor and proximity to the theatre. Had a vague feeling it was pricey, but it's now moved into actual rip-off territory. At 5pm on Tuesday 13th April I paid �8.30 for a pint of Guinness and small G&T. I'm not sure of the breakdown, but whatever way you look at it that's more than you'd pay in 99% of London pubs, an airport, a corporate hotel and so on. Yes, no-one is forcing you to go - but it's undeniably a blatant rip off for unsuspecting customers entering a plain city centre pub in Manchester with neigbouring pubs charging just over half that. Avoid.‎
