Pub pleads with customers to stop bringing in food and drink from the Co-Op next door

A Cheshire pub is pleading with customers to stop bringing in their own food and drink after spotting a "growing trend" of people sneaking in their own supplies.

The Eight Farmers pub in Leighton, Crewe issued a lengthy statement on their Facebook page saying that people "purchasing drinks from the Co-Op or brought from home" are not helping with their own rising costs.

The pub is popular with families as it boasts a large outdoor play area and bouncy castle in the summer months and is right next to a Co-Op convenience store.

Bosses say it's unfair for people to use the pub facilities, but then bring in their own drinks instead of buying the pub's food and drink offering.
