 JW> Elephant and Castle Pub chain

 DD> I am assuming that Castle Pub has table service as well as brewskis.

Yep. I was there close to closing on a quiet week night so there was
just one bartender on duty who also served the food. So I picked up
my own menu at the bar and shouted my order across the room to make
it easy for him but normally there would be a bartender, a bar back
and a waiter or two present.

 DD> Long John's is cafeteria style and no alcohol at all (AFAIK -
 DD> but, I've not been to all of them).

Michael was amused enough by Yellowknife's Pizza Hut being licensed
that he actually went there.

 DD>  A Fish & More w/3 pieces of battered "cod",

 DD> So, C$11 for your Castle Pub is not out of line

I got two pieces of fish and no hush puppies, but it was enough to
satisfy. The fish was good quality and perfectly fried. And 15 oz
schooners were $4.50 for most of the beers ($4.00 for Coor's Light
and $5 or $6 for some of the European imports). I felt I got my
money's worth.
