But Whetherspoon have 900+ and Greene King have around 3000?Volume
The club I go to needs to borrow them.Club prices are still competitive with JDs. My club is thriving at the moment but it's being run by a younger crowd so not all bingo, raffles and crap singers with backing tapes.
That's because the remaining pubs have to compete with WetherspoonsThe club I go to needs to borrow them.
For cheap beer Guisborough has to be the place, we went the other week the average price was about £2.35 a pint.
It works, every pub we went in was very busy, but it was a Saturday.That's because the remaining pubs have to compete with Wetherspoons
It works if you want traditional pubs priced out of the market and soulless “fast food for pubs” chains to dominate. If you care about your social spaces, small businesses or the traditional British public it really doesn’t workIt works, every pub we went in was very busy, but it was a Saturday.
either way it works!!!!!! good on themHuge company that buys in bulk and distributes itself, which reduces cost significantly, no real TV costs or licensing fees from music, and crucially they have such a high footfall, along with their cheap, quick and easy to make food that they can afford to sell it cheaper.
people go out for a pint after work and they will go to the cheaper places,thats a fact,if others cant compete,then they fall by the wayside,thats life im afraidIt works if you want traditional pubs priced out of the market and soulless “fast food for pubs” chains to dominate.

Sad isn’t it? People will sacrifice a lovely night out, let a great British tradition die, stifle small businesses and fund a company with a terrible record in treating it’s staff. Just for a cheap pint. Such a sad country we live inpeople go out for a pint after work and they will go to the cheaper places,thats a fact,if others cant compete,then they fall by the wayside,thats life im afraid
If people are only going out for one and that's all they can afford then you can't blame them.Sad isn’t it?

You can. That's even worse. If you're having a heavy night you'll save a fortune in a McSpoons.If people are only going out for one and that's all they can afford then you can't blame them.
While I'd agree if they can afford those extra pennies I don't feel that it's my place to manage other people's finances or criticise their prudence or otherwise given the current situation.You can. That's even worse. If you're having a heavy night you'll save a fortune in a McSpoons.
But if you're just having an after work one surely the extra pennies are better spent in a comfortable environment? Preserving a traditional British way of life, supporting a local businessperson who more than likely doesn't treat their staff like crap?
It’s not about that. If you must go to the pub you shouldn’t go to a place that ruins the pub.While I'd agree if they can afford those extra pennies I don't feel that it's my place to manage other people's finances or criticise their prudence or otherwise given the current situation.
Totally agree. Anyone who can't afford £5+ per pint should be instantly detained and locked up until breakfast time.It’s not about that. If you must go to the pub you shouldn’t go to a place that ruins the pub.
Yeah, let's be facetious as small businesses and a British way of life is being eradicated by a pile em high, sell em cheap firm with a terrible employment satisfaction record. Well done youTotally agree. Anyone who can't afford £5+ per pint should be instantly detained and locked up until breakfast time.
Agree, a spoons opening is basically the death of every other pub in a small town. Profit that the local area never benefits from and a legacy of ***** zero hour contract jobs that benefit no one but the ownersIt’s not about that. If you must go to the pub you shouldn’t go to a place that ruins the pub.
