Where has this trend for moretti come from? All of a sudden there's CONSTANT adverts on the radio... it's the Italian equivalent of carling ffs

It seems the fad nowadays pal same for Perroni cheapest drink when I was in Italy or you find Amstel often about it's just another Lager which pubs can overcharge you for when it's no different than Carling.
 
Went to a gig in Manchester a few weeks back, obviously loads of trendy bars we spent the afternoon in 2 what you may call typical working mens pubs, tatty, rough but friendly enough, £11.25 for a carlsberg & a pint of Guinness, I mainly drink at home and go out for a meal with family so don’t notice the prices as it’s just in with the meal bill, I suppose it shows you’re getting old when you expect a couple of beers to be around £7

Went for a pint of Morreti at an unnamed pub in Lytham and got charged 5.50. That's me done.

Presumably you were in the Ship at those prices. A pint of Peroni was well over £5 in there a few years ago according to my lad. He likes Coors and Heineken, but Heineken wasn't much cheaper.

Don't get out much these days, but I've recently visited the Saddle and the Boars Head. Timothy Taylor Landlord bitter (and Hobgoblin Gold on draft) in the Saddle, then Dortmunder in the BH, an excellent pilsner light beer, all well less than £4 per pint. As someone has said, you get much better prices in most Blackpool pubs than rip off Lytham

£4 more like lol!
 
Last time I went to London, 2014 for a gig, asked for a vodka and coke and the guy said ‘house or Smirnoff?’
‘House’ I replied, in my best Northern monkey accent.
He came back with my drink and asked for £7.50!!
I reminded him that I’d asked for house vodka and he said that Smirnoff would have been £9!!
It was £2 at the time in Gillies!!

To be fair the price of a lager has shot up in the 5 or 6 years decade. Throughout the early 2000's until maybe up until 5 or 6 years ago a lot of boozers (round Blackpool) were knocking lagers out between £2 - £2.50.

Looking at the prices of larger in the supermarket ,you’d be ok with paying double in a pub,anything after that is a massive ripoff

I remember when there was National outrage when Watneys Red Barrel hit 2 shillings a pint, at that time, around 1970, bitter was around 1s 4p and mild was 1s 2p.
 
would like to know how much is a pint of stella (in the old name clifton arms)
when i left in 2017 for spain i used to drink there it was around £2.50 a pint (when it became the toby carvery)just curious .
 
The Clifton Arms is the hotel in Lytham......Do you mean the Queens?.....or is this a pub in Blackpool?
In 2016 a pint in The Clifton was about £5.00....🤣.......

I was at an evening 'do' at the Clifton before it got renovated and they had the audacity to charge me £2,50 for a glass of lemonade.....
 
I paid £16 for two cans on craft beer in Hackney Wick on Wednesday, I know they’re expensive but I thought I’d misheard him.

Then went to a sports bar in Stratford to watch the game and it was £7 a pint including a 5% service charge.

Was going to go for a couple last night and ended up getting beers and sitting in the park which was rammed with people doing the same. Pubs for special occasions down here from now on, it seems to have got worse in the last six months.

I was in The Shovels last week. 4 quid for a pint of Landlord. Wetherspoon in St. Annes, 2:10 for quite a few cask ales.

A pint of Wilsons mild was about 1s 1d when I had my first pint. 😉
It was only later that I found out from a friend of mine that had a holiday job working there where the workers used to urinate if they couldn't get to the toilet in time. 😟
