Price of a Pint

[Milltown Row2]

Hope he wasn't whinging about it. I've just had a look at their menu and he has bought the dearest burger, drink and if he's buying Diet Coke and Haribo at that price then fcuk him.

if you really want to eat a bag of haribo in the cinema just buy it in a local shop at a 1/4 of the price before you head in!

Haribo are £1.25 a bag now... and a smaller bag at that!!

This. Think shrinkflation annoys me more than prices going up. If the can size reduces by 10% or a Multipacks move from 6 to 5 units I'm less inclined to notice than a simple price hike.

Only a matter of time before pubs start moving to 500ml beers on draught for an easy 10% margin improvement.  (I think there might be some legal red tape around this so maybe its not that straightforward).

I don't mind the shrinking, its less crap going in, we eat way too much anyways

Just had a wagon wheel there with mug of tea. It's probably more than half the size of them in the 1970s when I was growing up.

Had one about a year ago and I could hardly bear the sweetness of them. As I've got older I've definitely turned off sweet stuff. Had a Tunnocks Snowball last week for the first time in 20+ years and it was like eating a tablespoon of sugar.

Some delightful conversations on this forum on a Wednesday afternoon, wagon wheels and tea

Noticed the multi-pack shrinkage when I was home in May...my quid now only gets me 5 bags as opposed to 6...well ye can stick them!

I like Stix and Stones, its a stone throw away & they charge £5.50 for a pint of Heverlee - and I'm sure they are making a right profit at that. £7.50 is an absolute piss take.

It's the first time I was nearly tempted to not order a pint - it near killed me to pay it.

Charge you less for a pint, cause they get it back with you cooking your own food.. Another fraud

Don't think its a fraud. Hot stone is a novelty and the main feature of the restaurant and a selling point for most I imagine.

It's not a fraud, merely a pointless gimmick.

£5.20 for a stout in Kelly's Cellars

What bar?

Was more of a restaurant, Cafe Persian right at the city hall.

Food was great, and not overly pricey - around £20 for most main courses. But I couldn't believe a Guinness was £7.20 & the only other option on draft was a Heverlee for £7.50.

Owned by Galgorm Resort outfit, charging Galgorm Resort prices. They also own pizza place opposite Europa, wonder is it similar prices?

$13 for a Guinness in one of the downtown Toronto Irish pubs at the weekend - before tax and tip
