In “prices used to be less in the 1970s because of a thing called inflation” news, a menu from the Windsock pub in Dunstable, round the corner from where I grew up. And a picture of the pub itself, an extraordinary building.

Sherries from the wood, indeed.

Did you ever read the amazing three-part blog post history of it? Also, still quite cheap - that fillet steak would be £12 today, which is a bargain!

Asti-Spumante, with the ‘Specially Recommended’ asterisk. Superb.

Gaelic coffee 😆

Steak chausseur. Extraordinary.

Watneys Red Barrell was always available.

Interesting to see prices like ‘£1.03’ when everything is rounded up these days
