Dusk till dawn poker room (England)

[trouble]

Was talking to a friend about Dusk till dawn the new poker club opening up soon in Nottingham and he was saying about the rake being 5%. Seems a little high to me even tho most tables have dealers (Most of the card rooms ive played in England have been self dealt and you've paid for you seat by the hour)
Does this seem too high to any one else and what would you prefere a rake, or pay by the hour
thoughts?
