The Old English Gentleman, Waltham Abbey

Visited this pub on Sunday 25 Oct 05 attracted by the sign outside advertising real ales. However, felt extremely unhappy when charged �3 for two halves. When I quereied this with the lady behind the bar she told me it was �2.40 for a pint but he (the landlord I assume) had a strange policy with halves! I'd call it more than strange. I understand that this pub is being closed shortly, I wonder if the local CAMRA group is aware of this pricing policy. To me it seems grossly unfair to penalise people because they want to drink a half, after all it amounts to a 25% premium on the price of a pint.
