Pubs can only open if serving food with the drinks so he started giving out free food but the council said he wasn't allowed so now he's charging a penny. :joker:

I don't think he originally served food but wanted to stay open and this is a.way he could. People can only get a drink if they buy a "substantial" meal and so by doing this people can drink in there legally without having to fork out for a meal they don't want :shrug: I think anyway.
