I agree re micro bars. Reason is that there is imo a bow wave of unemployment coming down the track, I suspect this time next year things will be very dire. JDW should be the go to place for some value re food and drink. Happened to be at the Trawl Boat Inn (very busy at a normal quiet period) earlier in the week.... selling Doom Bar at sub £1.30 a pint. I do wish they would raise their prices as I might get served a lot quicker..... no I do not use the app (yet)...

Well when we have visited many towns recently, they have all had quite a few small micro bars opening .My own town has 5 new ones .Traditional pubs are definitely closing .They are usually far more expensive and most just do bar snacks .It suits some, but it's not where I get my round in ?

The extra costs on hospitality looks like it's going to wipe out a lot small players in my home town an independent bar closed down just last week. I think Wetherspoons could come out the winner here they have the room to manoeuvre, and hike prices, but still beat their rivals (or what's left if them) on value. I just think it's a shame Labour are going to put many hundreds of small player out of business, and leave the High Streets being serviced mainly by the big players the JDW.

Wetherspoon, one of the country’s biggest landlords with more than 800 pubs, has reassured customers that it had a “full supply of Guinness”.
“The gods of fashion have smiled upon Guinness, previously consumed by blokes my age, but now widely adopted by younger generations,” said Tim Martin, Wetherspoon’s 69-year-old founder.

The amount of Guinness pubs can buy in the build up to Christmas has been limited by its maker Diageo after "exceptional demand" over the past three weeks.
It is understood the firm is working at 100% production capacity, but has still placed limits on orders in Great Britain.

Liverpool Street's newly refurbed Hamilton Hall looking the part and all ready to take the madding crowds over the Christmas period - just popped in this morning after a brisk walk to work from Waterloo Station and broke the habits of a lifetime by ordering my first ever filter coffee in a Wetherspoon's pub, as it was a tad early for a beer! A typically voluminous venue, which even at £3.50 a pint of bitter, is likely to pull in plenty of punters around the clock/year and is still extremely good value, especially when you can get a meal and a beer for slightly over £10. Another winner, in my view, so well done, Tim!

The two nearest me were absolutely rammed last Night. No other Pubs nearby had anywhere near as many customers. Hard to get a seat let alone a Table these days.

Since the budget I've decided to stop going to pubs and drink at home instead. I made an exception last night and went to Spoons in Windsor where it was £4.99 a pint, as opposed to £7 in all the other pubs. Spoons was packed out. I also sold my MAB shares yesterday, but decided to keep JDW, as if any pub will do well now it will be Spoons.

I'll be attending a function at my local Greene King pub in Teddington tomorrow. They will offer five real ales, all so poor that I will opt for one G&T, and then leave. Shambles.

[portside1] 20/11/2024 10:32

We will now see 550

[tim 3] 19/11/2024 20:05

[isis] 16/11/2024 18:48

"Last week analysts at equity research firm Alpha Value upgraded the shares to a 'buy' with a target price of 810p. Goodbody has set a target of 900p."

If someone did that at an interview and you found out they wouldn't get the Job. If you did bluff your way through it would soon be apparent that you know FA about what your job is as has happened here!

I wonder if Labour voters really think this is acceptable??

[bountyhunter] 16/11/2024 12:40

Yes she's turned out to be a bit of a lettuce leaf so far unfortunately 🥬

TM and many others were duped by this Government into believing they wanted growth and were in a safe pair of Hands. I'll they're feeling a bit stupid now and angry as we all are:-
