January 5, 201511 yr Suppose they have very different overheads in each location Some of them are in real nice buildings, some are slightly less salubrious
January 5, 201511 yr Suppose they have very different overheads in each location Some of them are in real nice buildings, some are slightly less salubrious I think Whitt is closer they make themselves as cheap as they need to but no cheaper, if pub next door in Manc is charging £4 a pint why sell it for £1.80 ?
January 5, 201511 yr Author I Suppose they have very different overheads in each location Some of them are in real nice buildings, some are slightly less salubrious I agree, the one in Manchester is always full of pissheads supping ale out of plastic pots, Huddersfield was full of Bolton anyway, and in Barrow is near the station to escape the place.
January 5, 201511 yr Suppose they have very different overheads in each location Some of them are in real nice buildings, some are slightly less salubrious think he (martin) owns most of the buildings or he did when he started off big old rundown places bingo halls old cinemas no one wanted
January 5, 201511 yr Good business model, decent management, another 200 new pubs planned, all in all probably a better punt than an African mining company.
January 6, 201511 yr think he (martin) owns most of the buildings or he did when he started off big old rundown places bingo halls old cinemas no one wanted the one in llandudno is spectacular, its in the what used to be the theatre/music hall.
January 6, 201511 yr Steadiest price you'll ever find in a Spoons is 500ml bottles of Staropramen. Never been less than £2.79, but yet to see it for more than £3.09
January 6, 201511 yr The one in Harrogate is a nice one Yep quite classy that one. Cheapest one I've been in was Chorley. Some beers less than £2 a pint.
January 6, 201511 yr I was in the one in Todmorden last night. Pendle Witch at £1.99 a pint. So that's why its so busy when I drive past from the station mid to late afternoons on a weekday. During that balmy two weeks at the end of Sept/ start of Oct, the beer garden at the back was packed.
January 6, 201511 yr I was in the one in Todmorden last night. Pendle Witch at £1.99 a pint. Same drop is £2.19 in Spoons in Wigan Great drink
January 6, 201511 yr think one of the biggest is that big bastard in cardiff Manchester has the biggest.
January 6, 201511 yr So that's why its so busy when I drive past from the station mid to late afternoons on a weekday. During that balmy two weeks at the end of Sept/ start of Oct, the beer garden at the back was packed. Trouble is the beer garden is three floors from the bar, so you end up sobering up on the walk between pints. Pendle Witch is £1.65 in the George & Dragon (non Spoons) in Leigh btw. JSL.
January 6, 201511 yr Trouble is the beer garden is three floors from the bar, so you end up sobering up on the walk between pints. It isn't. There's a bar on that top level too.
January 6, 201511 yr i was told the pricing was dependent on whether it was classed as a city or town location and then it worked off a radius from the centre of that location outwards with a decreasing price structure with the benchmark price being always less than its competitors in the main city/town centre location. Spoons in edinburgh centre are £2.95 a pint of lager go 3/4 of a mile out of the centre classified as "non city centre" and price drops to £1.99. basic economics supply and demand i guess
January 6, 201511 yr It isn't. There's a bar on that top level too. That'll be the difference to my only visit being at 10am on a Saturday morning
