What did everyone else have?AFKABartram said:
Drinking in local Spoons last night a 5 drink round was £15.
Got 3 pizzas, two chicken dishes and a bowl of loaded chips for £20.
How anyone can knock that chain I’ll never understand.

£10 soon according to this expert.0 -
Pretty regularly. Even in a Sam Smiths in the City that I use (previously a good spot for decent beer at a decent price) a pint is now £7.10.ElfsborgAddick said:This thread should now read £7, has anybody hit this magic figure yet?0 -

Dont get it, if you dont want to spend that much or more than £5 on a pint just dont go to the pub or go to a spoons instead. Not that i would advise anyone goes to a spoons.1

Out of interest, why not? Was in the Dartford spoons last week, Pint of Guinness and Pint of Lager came to £5.56 (£3.21 and £2.35). That’s with prompt, no additional charge table service.talalsrightfoot said:Dont get it, if you dont want to spend that much or more than £5 on a pint just dont go to the pub or go to a spoons instead.

Unless the venue is a complete hole, surely it’s your company that’s the most important thing when you go out?

Pope St, New Eltham, £6.75 for a pint.... that's West End prices in a zone 4 pub.

Around 18 months ago I was in The Shortlands Tavern and bought a Punk IPA, it was £6.30 a mile down the road in the Bromley South spoons it was £3.30 a bloody big difference.As an aside, in the past year there have been about 3 price increases and the pint went up by a pound.0

Prices in Perth have been like that for a while. The average price across Perth and the Metro area is $10-$12 a pint!.

Was at that one yesterday. Paid £4.50 for a pint of Guinness and a half of cider. Daylight Inn across the tracks it's nearly £8 for the same round. Definitely some characters in there!ElfsborgAddick said:talalsrightfoot said:

I always roll my eyes at people who knock Wetherspoons. They're either snobs, can't remove Brexit from their entire thought process like a teenage boy and tits, or both.2 -

Orrington does not have much choice, unlike Bromley.1 -
And funnily enough long standing legal restrictions meant The Daylight Inn in Petts Wood was the only pub within a mile until The Sovereign of The Seas was opened.ElfsborgAddick said:

I absolutely love Petts Wood, regularly walk there from the New Eltham end of Chislehurst in the nice weather (get to see a lot of high speed trains, lovely). Some of the best restaurants around (Troy and Indian Essence both get special mentions).1 -
Is that "like for like" though? My son worked in a bar in Adelaide on a working holiday visa and as someone with no experience whatsoever was being paid $30 an hour i.e. between two and a half to three times the cost of the pint you mention. He's never worked in a bar here but, from what I can see, the pay is about £9 an hour so that's probably about one and a half times the cost of a pint in a lot of pubs.SidewaysInOz said:Prices in Perth have been like that for a while.

Is that actually for a pint? I was paying $12 a beer in Sydney a couple of years ago and it turned out to be that schooner nonsense rather than an actual pint!SidewaysInOz said:Prices in Perth have been like that for a while. The average price across Perth and the Metro area is $10-$12 a pint!.0 -
