I was in The Red Lion in Westminster yesterday and paid £15 for two drinks. Then I saw a framed letter on the wall from Fullers Brewery congratulating the pub for taking £90+k in a week. Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?
I paid £44 for two large glasses of Savignon Blanc in Mayfair a few weeks back (The Audley).
Yeah but that's all relative, a large glass should be a 250ml measure, so a third of a bottle of wine. So an entire bottle of wine bought by the glass (the most expensive way) is £66, in a place in Mayfair, is actually very good going, as it suggests the whole bottle is only about £60

Revenue and margin are two very different things...
Took a client out a few weeks back and we went to 'The Globe at Borough market. He went for Madri at £6.80. I clocked they had DEYA on and went for that, 'Steady Rolling Man 5.2%, £9.20 ffs!
A pint of 'Hop Skip and Juice by Vocation is £6.70 in my local in West Yorkshire. Lovely drop though 5.7%. Currently on clubcard price £7 for 4 x 440mml.

True to an extent - and you can't have margin without revenue - but from a punters perspective they are both exactly the same thing when it comes to bleeding customers to generate them.

Yes, am not sure everybody will see it as a stat that they're proud of achieving.
As a student in Southampton in the Mid 90's, the famous Clowns and Jesters did 50p pints every Monday.
I'm gladdened to hear that 30 years later its still £1 a pint.
Clowns was the "wine bar" upstairs and Jesters was the night club downstairs (although quite how the stairs passed any fire regulations I'll never know).
Even during the height of summer, when it hadn't rained for months, you would somehow stagger out of Jesters with trousers covered in mud.
As a student, I worked in Spiders nightclub Hull. Bells was 60p a shot, I just had a quick nose expecting it to have surpassed the quid barrier, no, it's 80p a shot. They do these weird homemade cocktails that are ridiculously cheap.

Turnover can go up massively whilst cash margin remains the same if selling prices rise in line with cost inflation, so higher revenue may be about survival rather than "bleeding". I think we would all agree that based on the number of pubs closing they aren't really ripping anyone off. They are just very expensive.
I agree that its strange to be promoting a revenue turnover. I'm sure that certificate was for staff rather than customer eyes...
Having down a pub crawl in London tonight, I genuinely think depending on area most pubs in London can charge whatever the f*ck they like. If they’ve got a thing going on where they’re popular with people standing out on the street when the weather is nice like tonight, fill your boots.
I covered about 20,000 steps tonight and everywhere was rammed.

That may well be so, as it certainly felt crass seeing such eyewatering numbers up on the wall. I bet their £10pph bar staff were delighted with it too.
