A rise of a quid a Pint and you're complaining?  Tight much?!

Well seeing as I refuse on principle to pay more than £12 for a round (of about 4 to 5 people) I'd definitely be avoiding the Abbey

Ha! Good spot.

Yep old Humphrey Smith raised the cost of a pint by a quid when his pubs  opened last year,  a pound a pint is a big increase, you can understand people thinking they are taking the mick.

 

Hes a bit mad with no phones, ect.

Except when he wants to use a mobile.

He's definitely an eccentric. 

 

Anyone know if the Old Mother Red Cap at Bradway is open?   I know it closed well before the pandemic hit due to not having a manager.

Redcap still closed and still has the job advert in the window.

 

No one is daft enough to work for Sam Smiths I suspect.

Shame.  Liked the pub.  Cheers for the info.

I understand why anyone would be a bit miffed if the cost of a pint went up from £2.20 to £3 .20, but either of those prices would still be a luxury for me.  I live in London, where the price of a pint is usually about £6,00 -6.50  in most local pubs and often over £7.00 if you opt for one of the craft beers.  Even the Wetherspoon's pubs charge a fiver or more for a pint of their (usually rubbish) beer.

And don't even get me started on what pubs charge for a glass of bog standard wine! I went to a pub in Clapham last summer when the lockdown was relaxed and they wanted £7.20 for a pint of beer and £9 for a medium sized glass of dry white wine. Nine quid- for a glass of Chardonnay!!  Now that really is daylight robbery!  My mate and I left the pub in shock, bought a couple of beers and a bottle of wine in a nearby Tesco's and sat drinking it in the park, like a pair of  old winos.

About 5 years ago I was in The Place in Broomhill for work's Christmas do, that's a student pub and it was £4 a Pint! I was like, Pardon?!  

 

Also, I was in that American Bar next to the City Hall Tram stop on West St last year, cost me 2 and half quid for a HALF! Eh?!

 

And they wonder why Town's usually dead on a Friday and Saturday night?

Oh that was funny.  As long as you enjoyed it that’s the main thing.

They were open last Friday night when I passed. Also, a few people on the front drinking.
