A couple of days ago, I read something online about a London pub which was my local in the 1970s. It appeared from what I read that it is now a 'gastropub'. Back in the day, it was a fine pub but the only food you may have found would be a bag of salted peanuts. So, I look them up and their rather basic website had a link to a sample menu.

 

I clicked and was told the link was invalid. But I could see that it wasn't really to a normal sample menu but to an old Christmas dinner menu.

 

Further intrigued, I did something I rarely do. I emailed them to ask if they were aware of their broken link. They replied thanking me for pointing it out and explained

We are currently slightly changing our menu on daily basis – that is the reason why.

 

They also asked me if I would like them to send me a sample message by email. It arrived yesterday evening.

 

First item on said menu is 

 

Quote

Sourdough, ampersand butter

 

I have emailed them to ask how to make ampersand butter. 

 

I have attached the menu they sent. There are other errors. I have redacted the name of the establishment to not shame them, too much.

 

They still haven't corrected the link.
