Price if a pint where you live
Price if a pint where you live
I very rarely go to the pub anymore. Mainly due to having a family and trying to stay fit, however the cost of a pint also puts me off.
My work Xmas do is one of those god awful dinner dance things at a hotel, and alongside not really wanting to socialise with work people outside of work, the price also puts me off. In a hotel it’s going to be over 5 quid a pint, so you’re talking over 40 quid just for beer if I give it a good innings. On top of that there’s the price of the ticket for poor food and likely poorer entertainment, plus taxis etc. it’s not worth the hangover
My local in Leeds used to charge between 3.50 and 4 quid a pint. Now the cheapest beer is 4:75 a pint.
Also cask ale used to be a cheap option and it suited me as I prefer beer that tastes of something rather than a generic Italian larger, but even cask ale costs close to and over a fiver.
There is a Wetherspoons near me but it’s bloody grim in there.

Cheap place - Stella about a 4.80
Normal place - Peroni £5.35
Expensive place - Peroni £6.20 + 10% if you're stupid enough to order your kid some food at the same time then everything has a 10% "tip" on it

Re: Price if a pint where you live
I drink most of my beer at the local golf club here in Chester and it's 3.24 a pint for "Cheshire Cat," which is a locally brewed ale (Weetwood Brewery) and very good.
If I go into the city I'm paying nearer 5.00 a pint for a similar drink. No wonder a lot of pubs are closing because they are effectively pricing themselves out of existence.

Re: Price if a pint where you live
I too have the same dilemma with my work's xmas do. £30 for food i wouldn't order if going to a restaurant and entertainment i have to buy a ticket for that i wouldn't normally.
Call me a miserable get but I'd do what i am doing and just drive to and from the venue. As soon as the meal is over, i'll be going home to enjoy some supermarket beers!

Re: Price if a pint where you live
Burnley so not to bad. Don't blame landlords, the government tax alcohol to a ridiculous level,high energy costs to brew, transport and for the pub it all adds up.

I was in Aberdovey a few weeks ago and in a bog-standard pub I was charged £8.90 for a glass of pinot grigio for Mrs A and £6.10 for a pint of frankly awful bitter = £15. Needless to say, we (a) didn't have a second round and (b) didn't revisit the place.

Re: Price if a pint where you live
I wont drink cheap lager like Fosters, Coors, Carling etc I just don't like them so a pint in my local of half decent lager is £4.80, same for Guinness.
My local Cricket club is great value though at under £4 for a decent pint.
My dad moans about beer prices and will drink in a **** hole to save a few quid out of principal, I'll probably end up like that one day but at the moment I'd sooner sit in a half decent pub and pay that little bit more.

Nephew's 40th week before last at Crowood Peroni £7.20. Palace pre match in 110, Pendleside £2.80.
Re: Price if a pint where you live
Inchy. Why not ask the venue to supply free jugs of iced water and just stick to that, especially as it’s a one off and you’ll feel better in yourself the next morning. Sounds like you’ve little choice regarding the overall cost, taxi etc apart from not going.

Re: Price if a pint where you live
I know the price of everything goes up due to inflation etc. But I'd like to see the comparative prices from say, the 80's. I know football has risen well above its historic pricing, when a paper boy could get on the match with his wages. How much has alcohol risen in the same time?

Do you have to pay for your work Xmas party?
Wow, I'm going to have a word with the board here, and see if we can add a bit of our staff entertainment budget back into P&L. I might get some skiing in.

Re: Price if a pint where you live
Crown in Colne is just under a fiver for a Guinness or a Morretti. Can get a Heineken for about 4.30 which I think is reasonable these days. I'd guess Fosters will be between 3.80 and 4 quid. Pubs in the centre of town will be cheaper.

Re: Price if a pint where you live
Here in Benslmadena some bars are still serving pints of Mahou/San Miguel/Victoria etc at €1.50 a pint (£1) whilst the norm is around €2.0 a pint (£1.33). I quite often drink bottles of Mahou which is about €1.5 a bottle (£1.0). A pint of John Smiths or Guinnesd varies from €3-4..
The prices here vary massively from the area and location of the bar. English owned bsrs tend to be much cheaper than other natiinalities.

Re: Price if a pint where you live
Decent Spoons in the town centre under £3 a pint for cask. Varies every time I go on there but make sure I avoid the omnipresent Doom Bar, Ruddles, and the worst ale I have had the misfortune to drink, Greene King IPA. Blackbirds has cask around £3 a pint and has had TT's Landlord, Adnams Ghost Ship and London Pride so not a bad selection.
Other pubs around the town, cask or half decent keg stuff varies but usually £5 is the minimum starting point.

Re: Price if a pint where you live
You've brought back some fond memories of my sailing days. Tiger and Anchor were the go to beers when we were storing in Singapore either alongside or doing an OPL call. I had the luck to visit many times back in the 70s & 80s when it was really lively on Boogie Street. I've been back in the 2000s and it was no where near as much fun. Boat Quay was OK but the atmosphere had gone.SingaporeClarets wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2023 11:42 amA pint of Guinness here will easily set you back a tenner ...
