No.8 Tottenham — Restaurant in London

£13.50 for a Guinness!? Worst pub on the planet?

TLDR: Never go to this pub.

I recently visited Spurs for a game, and visited this pub prior the game. I ordered a pint and paid without looking at the price. When I got the payment notification through on my phone I was shocked and astounded. £13.50 for a single pint. I originally thought that I had been charged for two pints (or perhaps accidentally bought a share in the brewery), so I went back to the bar, but alas the polite lady behind the bar explained to me that this was in fact the price for a single pint. Never in all of my years on this planet have I been charged so far above the fair market values for a beer. This price is genuinely double what you might expect to pay in some parts of the city. I am upset and outraged at this extreme predatory pricing. Obviously, this is a pub outside a football stadium so you might expect it to be on the expensive side, but this is far beyond the pale. To top all of this off, the pint wasn't even served in a Guinness glass, it came in a sad, flimsy plastic cup, like something you’d drink out of at a house party. For £13.50, I was half-expecting at least a harpist to serenade me while I drank it. As far as I can work out, here is the breakdown of the cost:

Guinness (standard issue): £6.50

Football proximity tax: £2.00

Plastic cup fee (luxury upgrade): £1.50

Emotional damage surcharge: £3.00

Total: £13.50

Obviously I write this review with a twist of humour, but this is clearly daylight robbery and someone should shout it out. If I could give negative stars, I most...

£50 for Two Guinness and Two Ciders. Comedy Pricing at Its Finest.

I’ve been here before for a pre-rugby pint and thought it was great. So naturally, I told the group, “Let’s go there before the NFL game — it’s a solid spot!”

Yeah. About that. Turns out I accidentally booked us in for a financial mugging with foam on top.

£50. For two Guinness and two ciders. Fifty. Actual. Quid. I honestly thought the bartender was running some kind of social experiment to see how far they could push human disbelief.

And, of course, there are no prices anywhere — probably because if they actually listed them, people would burst out laughing and leave. You only find out when you go to pay and suddenly understand what “daylight robbery” really means.

I get it — event days, higher prices, sure. But this wasn’t a “premium,” this was a heist with better lighting. It’s cheaper inside the stadium, which is basically the pub version of hitting rock bottom.

So yeah — if you enjoy being financially traumatised before kickoff, this is your spot. Otherwise, avoid like your bank balance...

The place has very good value for money. The kitchen is big, rooms are also spacious bright and clean. Despite the high road is not noisy. From the kitchen an outside smoking area with a couple of table can be accessed. In day time it is possible to access a wide back garden where it is possible to lock bikes and a game room with pool table and ping pong. It has a pub at the ground floor that closes at 11.30 but it can be accessed 24 h as it is the entrance to the hostel. The reception close and open with the pub and the che k in time start at 12.00. Fast internet connections (2). Friendly nice staff. Rough area but the hostel is safe Locker inside rooms: you need to have a lock or buy one from them. The showers are not the best and in a small place in the same room with toielt. A contactless budge is issued to access the place in autonomy 24h when reception close. A 20 pound deposit is asked and given back when you leave and five...
