Hugh Grant at The Castle Inn

Hugh Grant went to a pub last week in England and apparently forgot to pay his £5.45 tab. EVERYBODY PANIC! From the Daily Mail:
The Four Weddings and a Funeral star was enjoying a drink of Spitfire ale while buying a round at his favourite pub in Dover and chatting to the locals, but then left without paying. He initially ordered a couple of rounds for himself and his golfing partner but after realising the ale was stronger than he thought and he had to drive, he drained his pint glass, shook the hands of his fans in the pub and left.

The pub landlord assumes the 50-year-old Bridget Jones actor just forgot to pay after being distracted by fellow pub goers wanting autographs. Landlord of The Castle Inn, Paul McMullan, said: 'People normally hand over the money when they get the beer but a couple of guys at the bar asked for his autograph and I assume he got distracted.

'"We only charge £2.80 a pint and you’d have thought with his millions he could afford it but when he started talking about how he’d been unwell I didn’t like to ask, and then he shook my hand and posed for a photo. If he does it all round the country then it’s a great scam to get free drinks but if this was a one off I will put it down to an honest mistake."
I can't believe I'm sticking up for a celebrity, but the owner of this pub is an idiot. A famous movie star doesn't pay the equivalent of an $8 tab and this guy is bitching about it to the press? Outside of this dude hiring a couple of ghetto hookers as bartenders, good luck getting Hugh to ever come back to the pub.

    The Castle is a shithole, has been (as has pretty much all of Dover Town pubs (save for the Lord Nelson b4 the cops raided the place) since the early nineties.

    The landlord is a squalid little opportunistic fuck who kept the Castle shut-down expecting to make a tidy profit from ASDA(Walmart) when they trashed it redeveloped the area. Needless to say the fuckwits in our town council screwed that deal up; Now we all know Grant has dodgy taste, so I guess that makes The Castle the tranny hooker of Dover? Yeah, I can get behind that.

    Furthermore that landlord was previously an odious journo/editor so the whole thing is probably bollocks cooked up on a slow news day.

    Yeah, I'm sure Hugh Grant ran out on a 2 beer tab on purpose. This idiot bar owner just got more publicity from this than he would have ever gotten in years.
