🍺 A little update on our b**r prices

We just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that, unfortunately, we’ll be having to put our b**r prices up slightly.

We know nobody likes a price increase, and as a small community pub, we completely understand that every penny matters. We’ve tried our best to keep our prices as reasonable as possible for as long as we can, but with the rising costs of stock, energy, wages and everything else involved in keeping the pub running, we’ve reached the point where a small increase is unavoidable.

We really do appreciate everyone who continues to support us. Whether you pop in for one after work, join us for a meal, come along for an event or simply have a natter at the bar — you’re helping keep our little local going. ❤️

We’ll always do our best to offer good value while keeping the pub a friendly, welcoming place for everyone.

Please be kind to our bar staff. They don’t set the prices -they’re the ones pouring your pint! 🍻

Thank you for your continued support ❤️

Right.
Apparently, pubs are “too expensive.” 😬🥵💰

I hear it every day. 🤯

Usually from someone clutching a £6 artisan coffee, scrolling TikTok on a £1,200 phone, while explaining how £6 for a pint is daylight robbery. 💎

But sure. The pub is the problem. 👌

Let me explain this slowly…

You’re not paying £6 for “b**r”! 🍺

You’re paying for an experience, for a community, for…

💸 The heating being on before you arrive.
💸 The lights staying on after you leave.
💸 The loos being scrubbed (you’re welcome).
💸 The glasses being washed.
💸 The staff being paid.
💸 The licences. The insurance. The rates. The tax.
💸 The little bite the card machine takes every single time you tap.
💸 And the fact that when the cellar floods at 11pm on a Tuesday… it’s me in wellies.

You’re not just buying a drink. 🍷

You’re renting a space to exist in public without being moved on. To socialise. To make friends. To feel welcome. To belong. ❤️

Go and sit in the middle of ASDA for three hours debating VAR and see how long that lasts. Try getting banter from a self-checkout. 😅

Pubs aren’t competing with supermarket booze. 🛒

We’re competing with the idea that community should be free. 🏘️❤️

And here’s the bit I find fascinating…

The same people who mourn “the death of the British pub” are the ones who treat us like overpriced off-licences. 🍾

We don’t sell b**r. 🍺

We sell:
👉 First dates that turned into marriages.
👉 Wakes where the real stories came out.
👉 “Ok, just one” that became the best night of the year.
👉 Somewhere to decompress when the world’s had enough of you and you’ve had enough of the world.

We sell a place to not be alone. 🫂

If you want cheap: stay on your sofa with a four-pack of lukewarm cans 🛋️🥵🍻

But PLEASE don’t confuse low cost with value! 🤷‍♂️

Anyway, I’ll be over here - overcharging for heating, chairs, and human interaction. 🔥🪑🤗

Tag a mate who needs to stop being a tight-arse and buy a round! You know the one. 😂👇

Dont forget tonight folks, lymers best steaks!
