O'Brien's Pub

Has O'Brien's closed down or is it just going through a refurbishment?  Cracking music venue and pub.  Hope it's not gone.

Ah - right, I'm with you now :)I think what pulled me in was the fact that it's at least £3 cheaper than any other Sunday roast I've seen locally.

My contribution was sparked by the £6.95 price tag. Just wondering (in general) whether the psychology of, for example, £299.99 works. Does it really pull people in more than a £300.00 price tag would? Anyway, sorry to hijack the thread about O'Brien's.

I have a problem following your train of thought there Anne..perhaps you could make it clearer..

Sorry Anne - I don't quite follow you.  I was just commenting on a cheap roast dinner...???

£6.95?Blimey ..that's 1668 old pennies... a years pocket money!

£6.95 may be a good price but is anybody really taken in by the £399.99, £27.95 or, for a house, £499,950.00 nonsense?

That sounds excellent value and will give it a try

My wife and I went in for Sunday lunch yesterday. I saw the sign outside advertising the roast for £6.95. For that price I thought it would be either tiny or awful - or both. I was pleasantly surprised with what tasted like a nice home cooked roast dinner.  Terrific value.

It's under refurbishment and will reopen back as the original name The Northumberland Arms.
