Vintage Inns now do "Beer of the Day Battered Fish and Chips" and there's a blackboard to announce what the beer of the day in the batter is. I can only imagine that this must make a difference to someone somewhere and I suppose it does gull people into thinking that they reconstitute the batter mix on the premises.

The Vintage Inn I was in yesterday (yes I know, but it was the first pub we went past with a navigable car park) proudly announced that the beer of the day batter was made from London Pride. But they didn't sell London Pride.....
