Guinness pie in a pint branded 'worst thing ever' as pub slammed for bizarre take

A pub restaurant has been lampooned for attempting to serve a Shepherd's pie in a Guinness pint glass.

The 'interesting' take on the classic pub grub has been served with harsh criticism online this week after it went viral.

The New Sydney Hotel, Australia has been mocked for their creative way of sharing food and for attempting to charge patrons $26 (£14) for the pie which is on their mains menu.

The photo was first uploaded to a Reddit page dedicated to recognising restaurants that serve up food on anything by a plate.

And it's since been shared on a Twitter account which highlights terrible Guinness pints poured in London.

People couldn't believe it when they saw the snap, as social media users exclaimed their horror.

Responding to the bizarre meal set-up, one person said: "The only shepherds pie you have to consume using a soil sampler."

While another added: "Jesus, Mary and Joseph the carpenter, I thought the worst thing I'd ever seen was Chilli con carne made with baked beans. How wrong I was.."

A third chimed in: "This has actually upset me."

While others joked they had 'reported' the post for its 'offensive' nature.

Other social media users also pointed out the other 'disturbing' meal in the background.

This appeared to be the pub's Squid and Chorizo dish that is served with tomato braised chickpeas, kale, fennel and gremolata.

It seems that the pinkish squid sitting on the edge of the plate is freaking everyone out.

The pub says on its website that 'we have always done things a little differently...' You can say that again!

Despite this, the pub has been branded 'the best little pub in town' online, with overwhelming good reviews.

After almost 1,000 comments on Google, the pub maintains a 4.6 out of 5 rating.

Meanwhile pubgoers in Britain could be left devastated as boozers are reportedly set to be hit by a beer and crisps shortage.

Booze supplies to pubs are set to drop as 1,000 draymen walk out on strike. The draymen, who are responsible for 40 per cent of beer deliveries to pubs, are set to walk out over pay rows.

The Unite union claim they lost up to £10,000 in a year due to furloughing in lockdown.

The employees - who work for firm GXO Logistics Drinks - have voted to go on strike, with these 24 hour walk outs taking place on August 24 and September 2.

Crisp supplies are dwindling too as the number of HGV delivery drivers plunges after Brexit and the coronavirus pandemic.
