The complimentary MiWadi is good; the fruit-related puns are just great.
Relations between the Bloomfield Hotel in Mullingar and their patrons were far from cordial last night.
One of their customers, Enda Boland, revealed to us the price he paid for a pint of MiWadi at the weekend and we brought it to the attention of the wider world.
Like a pint with an imperfect water to orange concentrate ratio, it did not go down well.
The fact that Enda had to pay €2.40 for a pint of MiWadi, which many pub-goers would expect to get for free, caused plenty of discussion after the story went up on the site last night and it wasn’t exactly the coverage that the hotel would have wanted from a public relations point of view.
All credit to the Bloomfield Hotel, however, because not only have they promised a reduction in the price of MiWadi from now on and made it free at their carvery, they also made up a gift package for Enda and presented it with a dash of fruit puns while they were at it.
