Brewhouse & Kitchen, Meadows, Nottingham

Located next to the River Trent with ample riverside seating, Brewhouse is a long and thin L-shaped pub with open plan seating at the front and down the left opposite the long bar counter. Premium and craft keg were available alongside three hand pumps that were drawing their own brews plus a guest. After ordering half of their 5% Golden Ale I was very surprised to be charged £4.95. I challenged the barmaid, but she insisted that the price was correct. I enquired about the price of a pint, she informed me that it was around £6. So I politely asked why a pint was £6 and a half almost £5. “I don’t set the prices” was the retort. Just then a group came in, so I advised them to steer clear of ordering half pints of the homebrew. This riled the barmaid as she warned me to “please stop discouraging our customers”. The commotion drew a second barmaid into the conversation, who quickly confirmed that a half was in fact £2.95, which is still very expensive. I was refunded the full amount as way of an apology, but no apology from the mardy maid who stormed off out the back. Not a great experience.
