A pub landlady told a reviewer complaining about a hike in prices "to sit on the grass with a bag of crisps" if they wanted to save some money.
The customer had given The Boat Restaurant and Bar in Rugby a one-star review on Tripadvisor after paying nearly £16 for two pints of beer, a packet of nuts and a bag of pork scratchings.
This was apparently £4 more expensive than his previous visit, reports Coventry Live.
