Right……….
Apparently, pubs are “too expensive.” 😬🥵💰
We hear it every single day.
Usually from someone holding a £6 artisan oat-milk-something, scrolling TikTok on a £1,200 phone… explaining how £6 for a pint is daylight robbery. 💎
But yes. The pub is clearly the problem. 👌
Let me slow this down.
You’re not paying £6 for “beer.” 🍺
You’re paying for:
🔥 The heating on before you walk in.
💡 The lights on after you leave.
🧼 The loos scrubbed (you’re welcome).
🍷 The glasses washed.
👩🍳 Staff paid properly.
📜 Licences, insurance, rates, tax.
💳 That cheerful little slice the card machine takes every tap.
🌊 And when the cellar floods at 11pm on a Tuesday? That’s me in wellies.
You’re not buying a drink.
You’re renting a place to exist in public without being moved on.
A place to:
❤️ Be known.
😂 Have banter.
🤝 Make friends.
🫶 Feel like you belong.
Go sit in the middle of ASDA debating VAR for three hours and see how that goes. Try getting sympathy from a self-checkout. 😅
We’re not competing with supermarket booze. 🛒
We’re competing with the idea that community should be free.
And here’s the irony…
The same people who mourn “the death of the British pub” treat us like overpriced off-licences. 🍾
We don’t sell beer.
We sell:
👉 First dates that turned into marriages.
👉 Wakes where the real stories came out.
👉 “Just one” that became the best night of the year.
👉 A safe harbour when the world’s had enough of you — and you’ve had enough of it.
We sell a place not to be alone. 🫂
If you want cheap? Stay on your sofa with a four-pack of lukewarm cans. 🛋️🥵🍻
But don’t confuse low cost with value.
Anyway… we will just be here ..
Overcharging for heating, chairs, and human connection. 🔥🪑🤗
Tag the mate who always “forgets” it’s their round. You know exactly who we mean. 😂👇
