Pub turns rabbits into pints

Drinkers are queuing up at their village pub to swap home-grown fruit and veg – and even rabbits and fish – for pints.

The barter scheme means the pub now boasts the most home-grown menu in the country.

Cloe Wasey, manager of The Pigs in Edgefield, near Holt, Norfolk, said customers had been offering apples and marrows, mackerel and pheasants.

'If someone thinks it should be on our menu – and can produce it – we will do a deal,' she said.

'We will consider anything edible – someone even brought in a deer which our chefs butchered for venison dishes.'

A CASTEL pub has agreed to help those who are struggling with the credit crunch – by swapping fruit and vegetables for beer. Rockmount bar manager Jonathan Jackson said he would be happy to help those who want a drink but can’t afford it.

‘But I don’t want anyone taking the mick by bringing in two apples and asking for a pint of cider,’ said Mr Jackson, known by friends as Jacko. ‘The credit crunch is affecting a lot of people and we would be able to help those who are severely affected by offering good-quality beer for good-quality produce.’

The Rockmount has been serving food and beer since the premises changed from a school to a pub shortly after the Second World War.

With the idea of exchanging quality produce for a drop or two of the golden beverage, Guernsey could see an increase in vegetable patches. (from thisisguernsey)
