I'm not criticising their food or saying the price isn't worth paying, but it does make it crystal clear what kind of pub it is.

To put in perspective you can easily pay £12 for a posh burger and chips nowadays.Stonchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07001578598975666535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-75497924429194460802015-09-11T21:55:14.082+01:002015-09-11T21:55:14.082+01:00Brunning and Price are rather upmarket, but they d...Brunning and Price are rather upmarket, but they do an excellent job on the pubs they take on. I expect the Dinorben Arms will be no exception.

I wouldn’t pay those sorts of prices normally though, but the White Hart, our local B&P pub, is on the edge of affluent Sevenoaks.<br />Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.com
