Athena 01 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I'd love to support my local pub! The problem with my local is that it's awful. Bad beer, scruffy carpets, smelly toilets, rude bar staff etc. I'm sure that there is more than one! The more people that support them the more they will have to improve the standards. With the losses that most are making the can hardly afford to keep open never mind redecorate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me you are not paying a subsidy on the beer for either location or ambience.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hazard a guess he is not even making a profit on those prices if he is tied into a brewery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a profit on that, assuming that is a Punch or Enterprise Pubco...if its a diff pub co the wholesale price of beer may well be much lower, so they will actually be making a substantial profit at that retail price... if we sold Stella (which we dont) it would retail at £2.80 a pint at the Dove I think, dont have the price lists to hand....

That s quite possibly true, I've not been in the game now for a while but I know when I was we do not make much of a profit on Stella because we would have had to charge around £3.00 a pint. We knew the customers would not pay. When you add all of it in with the price of utilities ect it blows everything out of the water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblueowl Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Our local in my opinion is quite exspensive with carling being 2.92 per pint and stella at 3.15. with most of the beers being around the 2.60/ 2.80 price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats fairly expensive but there are a lot worse. Beer above £2.60 is not good, and Carling should really be around £2.80.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
