I’ve popped into the pub by mistake. 15:33 - Feb 19 with 3731 views

Had a few beers and thought I would have a couple of large G&Ts before going back to work.

I love a gin and tonic but haven’t bought one for ages unless in a group situation.

£9.60 in a real ale type pub not in city centre. Wouldn’t you say this is excessive or am I behind the times? I was thinking £6

I’m in bloody Norwich.

Kings Arms. It’s my local when I’m working up here.

It’s a really good pub but I think the prices are off the scale.

for a large, by which you mean a double right ?

and which gin? theres more than just Beefeater.

a single Bombay gin and tonic would cost you about 6quid in spoons, so maybe base your price estimates in other pubs on that.

£6 will get you a single, assuming that you went for a double?

The world has gone mad.

If these prices are dictated by bigpub.co then they will all go skint.

I'm guessing you can buy a bottle of gin for around £25 - £30????? - and they charge you £9 for 50ml?

At least with ale they have to do some fecking work to keep it in trim.

What a load of sh1te.

I'm stuck with an 18 can multi-pack of 440ml Boddingtons I bought for £11.
That's 14 pints for £11 and I don't have to suffer that guy who's so drunk he thinks I called his pint a p***.

£6.80 for a double Gordons and Tonic on our pub. That's pretty cheap though.

Yes!!!!!!!!

They gave me one of those glasses without a stem, a sort of miniature fish bowl.

I hate the feckers. Although - it did me a favour. I was forced to moan at the landlord about the glass and we then got into one of our childish arguments and because of this I remembered that he owed me a drink as we had a bet over the Chelsea game........

Was in the needham market swan the other night. £6.50 a pint… in needham market!

Could buy a pack of 4 cans for that price. It’s no wonder pubs are going out of business (massive shame, and it was nice to be in a pub and not home with Netflix on) but still…

That's the reason why so many pubs have shut in the last 30 or 40 yrs brewery's hold them to ransom .
Had a bite to eat last night at a greene king pub food great £16.50 for two courses. As I was driving 2 soft drinks nearly 9 quid.
When you start paying 8 or 9 pounds for a glass of wine you understand why people drink at home.

Last 30 to 40years is a bit of a stretch to say that's a reason why pubs shut. There's plenty of headwinds other than the pub tie, like energy prices,business rates, national insurance, minimum wage, even CO2 shortages, so distributers double the prices, caused by wars in other countries, that impacts sort drink dispense btw.

And that's before the smoking ban, changing habits of people, interest rates, inflation, government regulation on speech.

But don't worry I'm sure when there's an election you'll see a politician in a pub photocall, gurning whilst uncomfortably holding a beer

I like the taste of Boddingtons - and it reminds me of my time living up North.
We've had discussions about non-alcohol beers on here and some have approved so questioning the alcohol content is daft.
I don't want to drink myself into a drunken stupor and I question anyones life choices if 'having a drink' is always to get legless.

Had a meal in my local Italian restaurant on Monday and asked for a glass of Merlot. Shocked to discover I'd been charged £8.65, which is slightly more than the whole bottle costs.

Remember going to a restaurant in Woodbridge about 15 years ago. Ordered a gin and tonic and the waitress asked if I fancied a double. Already well oiled after a bottle of wine I said yes. Got the bill, £16 for the G&T. Livid, I couldn't believe it. .

Still haven't forgiven or forgotten all these years later.
