Southampton pub sells pints for 10p
Jonathan and Domenika Westmacott, owners of the Hunters Inn in Swanmore, Southampton, decided to wind prices back to 1969 on Friday – the same year Jonathan’s parents David and Krithea Westmacott became landlord and landlady.
Customers were charged 10p for a pint of Fosters, glass of babysham or sherry, 45p for steak and kidney pie, 55p for scampi and 75p for gammon. “It’s a rare occasion to have a pub [in the family] for 45 years so we decided to celebrate,” Domenika said. Customers were asked to make a £2 minimum donation to cancer charity Macmillan and were limited to two 10p drinks.
Jonathan took over the running of the pub from his parents in 1971 aged 21.
