In The Coach House Carvery, Gosport, I was astounded to be refused a glass of tap water and asked to pay £1.00 for a bottle of water. It was only when I asked for the manager and said I needed it to take medication that I was brought half a glass of water. I eat out regularly and never before has providing tap water been a problem. Disposal of water bottles is a growing problem and drinking tap water, quite safe, should be encouraged.
