I mean if pints go to £20 then they’ll be closing anyway as no sane person would pay over an hours pay (or 2 hours pay at minimum wage) for a pint.
We’re finished, aren’t we?
12 years of the Tories and the pint is going to be 20 quid or the pub is going to close.
Londoners wondering how a price reduction will help combat pub closures
Unless this crisis is sorted, they’re closing either way then….
Unless price of pint soars to £20 **and demand miraculously remains the same as current**
Or in other words, there is no solution on the sales end.
How do spoons manage to sell pints for £2?
Looks like they will be closing then…
All part of the plan. Pubs have historically been gathering points for the working classes, best to shut them down and separate the rabble.
The restaurant I manage, we just put up our prices. Beers at a 65% GP, averaging around £6.50. For beer on tap. I don’t know how other places do it cheaper, literally isn’t viable if we sell it for under £6. Personally, I would never buy a pint of beer over £5 let alone 6.50.
I know pubs have a higher demand for beer so they can offer it slightly cheaper, but the hospitality industry is slowly dying. Heineken have just increased prices today across the board by 6% as well.
Basically, everything is going to shit.
The article seems to mainly focus on energy prices driving up cost of keeping a pub open on top of business rates and cost of living but the energy crisis is also going to affect on CO2 production which in turn is going to majorly hit beer like it did in the past resulting in shortages and/or further price increases. Can’t see many places surviving the next year unless there’s major changes.
The last pint I bought was £6.80 and I haven’t been back to the pub since, just been going to the beach/ park/ peoples houses instead
I could go to my local pay £4.10 for a dark fruit, OR I could pay £3.30 for a cheap bottle of cider and add in Robinsons Blackcurrant…. and that £3.30 and Black Currant would likely make 5 Pints, THROW in some lagers… looking at 6/7 pints

The only thing I’ll lose is the company of my friends smashing a glass or two.

At this rate it would be cheaper to hire out a venue and have a “Bring your own booze” we’ll soon be pissed.
Why are these stories always about pubs and restaurants?
What about all the thousands of other businesses that are going to be snuffed out by the Cost-Of-Energy Crisis?
What about hundreds of thousands of people on basic Universal Credit that have already been struggling for years, just to pay bills and buy food?
Just today a local pub that has been here since before I was born (1988) announced today that it is closing it’s doors as they can’t pay the bills.
Nuts! Speaking of which what is a packet of peanuts gonn be?!
If I had to pay that much, I would brew my own.
Thing is, they’ll go out of business anyway.
Who the hell is going to be able to afford £20 a pint?
Well alot of people will probably start brewing there own, good old moonshine..
The Tories happily let community centres close during austerity, now they are just seeing another type of community hub close under their negligence. Tory MPs will only care because it means none of them will be able to have their photo taken of them pouring a pint anymore, they do not care if pubs succeed or not. If they did, they would have tackled the extortionate rents landlords charge owners or the beer ties they are forced onto. It’s not a deliberate attempt to close them but don’t be surprised when the Tories do nothing to help.
There’s a lot of mention of pub closures but not hearing much about restaurants, those poor buastards will be taking a hammering with gas supplies.
Bollocks, no one is paying 20 quid for 1 single pint, to even suggest that is a solution is ridiculous.
That’s most of a shift’s wages for me. I rather buy two to three crates for that price. The problem that pubs face is, it’s cheaper, friendly and less awkward to get pissed at home, along with reducing the risk of waking up in the street and wondering how the fuck you got a traffic cone on your head and who’s underwear is over your trousers.
When I come to power I would triple or even quadruple “off sales” tax and reduce “on sales” tax. Supermarkets have had it to easy.
The daily star is not a credible source of news for anything. Literally if they say the sky is blue go and double check. Jfc people….
We’re winning against Russia though /s
There will be intervention so stop worrying
Chippies, now pubs. It’ll be schools and offices next, although they’ve had plenty of practice for the last couple of years.
There shouldn’t be this large a debate about something written in the Star. The headline is not what he says in the article. It’s just a warning that power prices have been hitting pubs hard, the same as all other businesses.
Say £20 then £10 will not seem so bad . Either way it would sound the death knell of a large number of pubs.
Homebrew kits and fermenters serving locally in pub sheds across the land. Seriously, there are a multitude of communities for home and craft brewing and doing up sheds and spaces in average peoples homes.
Its slightly ironic that the origin of the pub is going full circle, as it literally used to be someones living space turned over to the sale of ale and food. Maybe well go back to very local family gathering spaces where everbody can have a pint of homebrew of reasonable quality for a few quid instead of 7, 8 or even 10 quid in a decent pub.
