The pub which used to be the Old Isaacs offers half a pint of lager for £1 and a pint for £1.50, in a move to build on the growing success of no-frills retailers such as Poundland. David Sutton, landlord of the PoundPub his establishment is doing no harm as punters are lapping up the drinks with an attitude of, ëthe cheaper, the betterí. The pub has been serving pints of Fosters, Theakstons, Strongbow and John Smiths for just £1.50 ñ with half pints costing £1 after being chosen as a trial spot for the idea of creating a pub completely back to basics. While the PoundPub is keeping customers happy with its cheery offers and 9am opening time, it doesnít offer entertainment or show Sky Sports in an effort to keep costs low and if it is a success it will be rolled out to other pubs.

Yesterday, Thrillist posted a series of mouthwatering photos from a visit to Waffles Cafe, where they toured the restaurant's kitchen and went behind the scenes of the wonut-making process. According to Thrillist, the waffles are deep-fried in vegetable shortening and dipped in sugar, marshmallow, maple, or chocolate glazes. Add toppings like sprinkles, granola, or chocolate shavings, and voila: wonut!  For the consumer who wants to be healthy and eat a wonut too, there's also a whole wheat variety. Other flavors include green tea, red velvet, and Mexican chocolate.
