Thats a very slow pint they are pouring if the labour cost is £1.17
Where’s that pub with 5£ pint?
What was wrong with saying 36p in pub overheads?
£1.17 per pint for the staff? I must have been working in the wrong bars….
They’re charging us twice for pub overheads, as well as paying the staff 50 quid an hour.
I haven’t seen a £5 pint that isn’t a Foster’s in a long time.
£1.17 in wages, which includes the taxes the employee pays (I note the employer taxes are listed below)
so some of that is also tax & NI, not to mention how much of what its spent on is also tax etc
even then its £2.09 in taxes and duties directly at the pub, circa 20% in direct taxation
must have missed the taxman being there to help clear up etc
I’m doing my part!!
I might be misunderstanding but what is “duty paid to the brewer” and why is it a separate thing to the cost of the beer?
Any pub making 12p a pjntdeserves to be shut down. Where are all these free market tossers talking about adam smith when a business is failing.
Even doc “Tim Brexit” brown with his 1.2 (jigawatts) hairstyle has margins higher than this.
And spoons are basically “easy/ryanair” pubs
Now do it for £8 pints.
Yes. But why overheads twice? And how do staff costs scale with my alcoholism and/or large rounds for a group of people with a similar propensity to over indulge?
My point is I agree pubs aren’t making a huge profit t off my drink – just the maths here is quite crude.

Also, there isn’t 83p VAT on a £1.31 pint. The other things don’t contribute to VAT only VALUE. It’s 26p. On a £1.31 pint.
Isn’t that 13p the pub’s profit? Are they not supposed to make money now?
Though it’ll take a while for them to get rich on 13p a throw.
And why is “pub overheads’ on there twice? Double rip off?
Duty to the brewer? What’s that?
Where can I pay £5
Nothing on that list makes a lick of sense.
What in the Chat GPT is this?!?
You guys are getting 5 pound pints?
Quite impressive that so many miss the point of this tweet which is that they are barely making any money.
Mate I’ve been stung with £8 a pint near Tottenham Court Road recently.
What a treat after offering my pal a drink 🫠😆. London ay
And this is why I don’t drink anymore.
5 pound pints, this aint the 90s
If 56p is paid in duty to the brewer then isn’t the beer £1.87 per pint?
I’m just not going to buy a pint of beer for ~£6 when I can get 4 pints from the Supermarket at the same price and can drink it in peace and quite without a bunch of loud piss heads everywhere. Fuck the pubs.
So who is my local £1.99 a pint then?
Where these cheap pints?
Majority of this depends on volume.
Some pubs could definitely be lowering prices quite considerably.
If £5a pint becomes normal. I quitting drinking! £4.99 is my limit.
£1:17 to pull a pint? Thats a nice hourly wage lol
Self serve, like in a fast food joint
1.17 saved
Want to defend ripping people off, just pull some numbers out your ass that make no sense
Where tha fuck is you buying cheap beer?! Southampton it’s from 6.50..its why I stay at home.
Ripped off from The Sunday Times
“£1.17 in staff wages” So each barman is pulling 12 pints an hour?
My local sells about 200 pints a night in the week and twice as much at the weekend. So that’s 2400 a week. Which would be wages of £2,808.00 and employer’s contributions of £696.00, a total of £3,504.00 a week, or five full time staff on £585.00 a week. Or six at £468.00. Or salaries of £29,020.00 and £24,336.00 respectively.
Really?
I’m not the sharpest tool but : isn’t 20% of 5 equal to one?
How old is this post ? Was Vat still 17.5?
Tell me more about these £5 pints. Where can one find such a thing?
If it wasnt 5 quid I’d be buying more than 1
Pubs charge for the social environment. Go drink screwdrivers in the gutter if you want a low budget drunken lullaby.
Cut tax on alcohol in pubs/clubs/venues and pass it onto the cost of drink in off licences and supermarkets
I wish pints where £5
There is 0 chance it costs that much to produce. 80% of that is simply excise tax.
Two overheads, you say?
/Professor Farnsworth
Numbers just pulled out of his arse.
Only a severe alcoholic is bothered by this.
Is the actual cost is £1.31. then what is the 56p in dute TO(?) brewery? are we counting just the cost of a pub buying beer from the brewery as a single line item. Then why seperate duty? Is it a tax? Does the brewery pay it? Then why not just say £1.81 actual cost of beer?
£1.17 in staff wages. I’m surprised it isn’t more.
29p in employment tax rates. why isn’t that included in staff wages? If you aren’t including it then why aren’t you also including insurance for the staff to be on-site? Why are overheads included twice?
In all fairness I know fuck all about economics or accounting …and it seems chat gpt doesn’t either.
lol at the £1.17 in staff wages
bar staff are pulling a lot more than 12 pints an hour
My best friend owns a couple pubs and German beer hall brand. After all costs his margen is 30% on everything food and drink. They are making money.
Which pub havevthry worked this average from? I can assure you my very busy local charging £7 per pint and £9 for double gins + £4 mixer isn’t eorkinv by these costs
