It's not clear whether Robert was dining alone – although the four bowls of chilli would suggest he had at least a little help ploughing through the drinks.
He added in a follow up tweet: "Chilli was decent by the way."
The receipt detailed several Birra Morettis, Baileys, Amstel and Champagne – as well as a few other beers.
One self-described "bitter Tier 3" social media user pointed out Robert had spent £188 on the equivalent of a one litre bottle of Bailey's, to which he replied: "Corr wish you’d never worded it like that!"
There is also a sneaky buttermilk chicken with fries tucked towards the bottom totaling £9.50 – perhaps a second course?
The bill is rounded off with a £23.39 service charge, that Robert tweeted was "optional, thankfully".
In Tier 2 and 3 areas, pub-goers have been told they must order a 'substantial' meal to have a drink – although there's been widespread uncertainty about what actually counts.
And pub-goers have shared hilarious "hacks" as they descended on the UK's pubs, bars and restaurants last week as lockdown was lifted.
Drinkers took to Twitter to share the most genius "meal hacks" they have encountered since the four-week national lockdown was lifted last week.
One Twitter user said: "The pub last night was giving everyone a 99p microwave meal, still in its plastic, with their beers."
Another boozer has shared pictures with The Sun Online of publicans sipping crisp pints of Stella over steaming plastic containers of what looks like macaroni cheese and sweet and sour chicken – with white rice on the side.
And on Saturday, The Sun revealed how one drinker appeared to have splashed almost £500 on booze – and topped it off with a £7.25 scotch egg.
A receipt for a posh restaurant in central London appears to show that a table of nine guests managed to get through 63 pints of Peroni – at £6.50 a glass.
The Refinery, which is under Tier 2 restrictions, also apparently served them twelve glasses of prosecco, for £6.95.
The bill then shows a single chorizo scotch egg was ordered for the whole table – costing £7.25.
However a spokesperson for The Refinery New Street said: "The bill has clearly been cropped and a substantial amount of food was consumed.
"The order also included three charcuterie platters, a number of yakitori plates, three falafel, a beetroot and feta salad and several portion of fries.
"All Tier 2 restrictions in line with Government policy were strictly adhered to. The safety of our team and our guests are our number one priority – our team wear masks, adhere to social distancing, service is at the table, payment contactless and we follow the most stringent of hygiene procedures.”
