"There's an estimate that it won't be long before a pint in London will have cost £14 to cover the cost of providing that pint.
Fancy a pint?
Very kind of you. When? "
I think it will have to be soon. Before the pubs close.

Out of luck. Just out the shower, two glasses of wine while finishing off the Sunday papers. I’m not going anywhere! |

Many of the pubs i use after work are between £5 - £7, depending on if i'm drinking Guinness or Lager.
It may well end up at £14 a pint but please, if there is a god, it wont be for a good few years. I jsed to run pubs years ago and it was approx £2 a pint then. So with that in mind, in another 20 years a pint will cost £8 - £10.  |

There is no energy price cap for businesses. The whole supply chain is passing on the costs. |

Denmark is just as bad price wise.
It will definitely kill the pubs and in years to come we'll be tell tails of how we all used to meet up with friends at a place that served drinks |

"It won't go down well up 'ere in't north 
Rent and salaries are lower, so you should see a slower increase."
Rent in Manchester city centre for flats is actually fairly comparable with London, increasingly. You're looking at £1000 pcm or more for the 1 bed new builds in what is really Salford (but claims to be Manchester.....) Even more if you actually have a flat in Manchester city centre, rather than Salford. M1 rather than M5.
Salaries are definitely lower though |

That's very good £ 2.50 for a pint, the local I normally go to In the borough Is £4 a pint so I buy half's now, for £2.50p I can buy a bottled pint of gold hobgoblin from the local super market and other ales with a discount on 4 bottles, I just hope our local pubs can hold on it would not be the same without them. |

I'd hate to think what it will be in a few months.

Have a micro pub near us all local beers and £3 a pint would never pay £14 a pint used to make 40 pints for less than that. So many pubs closed already if it reaches them price will be no pubs left as you can get good bottle beers for under £1:50 in many supermarkets |

Doesn’t Wetherspoons still have pints under £1.50? Some good beers too last time I checked. |

Cineworld is expensive. The ticket I can live with paying for, but the cost of the food and drinks are too much. |

And they wonder why the younger generations are drinking less and less...
It's funny how so many people have shifted to alcohol free and vegetarian out of cost, rather than environmental concerns.
We've re-branded skipping meals as OMAD and intermittent fasting, how screwed up do things really have to get before it all goes completely, tits up.
I mean it already has, maybe four times over, but more tits uppery. |

Cost me £17 for 2 pints of.Coors and two bottles of strawberry and lime cider last Friday down our local.
Where are a long long way from London so I can belive it.
Zero reason to go to the pub anymore. If it's not a social meet, we just won't drink or have a couple at home. Kind of ridiculous I can buy 20 tins of Coors for £18 at the local supermarket in comparison.
It's all a really bad joke now. |

Of course not.
No one has when I've bought them a pint. The ones I have bought dinner have told me they're 'not feeling it' and even paying for their hotel room hasn't resulted in any may putting out for me.  |

Thank you.
I drove the long way through Bridport last month, just to see if it had changed much and show it off to my friend. You are in a lovely location.

"I saw a thread on TwitTwat about pubs across the country saying they can't afford the energy costs unless they charge much more. Estimating 80%+ increases just to stay open.
"
There is also an inadvertent consequence of the gas crisis in that one of the biggest producers of the gas that’s basically goes into pumping the beer has gone under because of the increased cost… so beer may be in shorter supply |

Im sure some of the people who live near pubs and have to put up with the vandalism and violence from the piss heads late at night would be quietly preying for this, not to mention the police and nhs etc.

Another factor that will drive up costs.

I was talking with the landlady of my local yesterday lunchtime about this very subject. She is divorced and has owned her pub for the last 20 years. She got through lockdown by selling beer at the door, selling takeaway meals at the door, even doing that only just paid her bills. The rising cost of power is not something that she or any other pub owner can get around. She already has LED lighting everywhere and a pub has to have lighting, she can't just turn it off. At this moment in time, even after all that she has gone through..................these energy hikes could and probably will kill most of even the most business savvy landlords pubs.
I think as we all know by now, once you loose your local pub it never re-opens............a builder will be in there like a rat up a drainpipe and put as many cheaply built houses selling them for as much as possible. |

I have seen a few campaigns to save particular pubs, turning them into social enterprise community hubs that also sell alcohol and food. But, there is no social tariff for energy. The costs don't stack up to get to break even, let alone profit.

Pints are already £5-£6 in certain parts, most expensive I’ve seen is £9. £14 isn’t quite the stretch and it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if it happened in London.
Ironic considering Fullers have a brewery in Hammersmith. |

Lets face it, by January we're all going to be sat in the dark wearing three layers of thermals and two overcoats, no heating, drinking nail polish remover to try to get through the nights. Still, at least Liz Truss will be warm in her bed and satisfied that she's stopped any hope of providing extra power through wind or solar farms that might spoil her view of the countryside. |

Young's used to have a brewery in Wandsworth but sold out years ago to concentrate on their pub business. |

Paid £12 for 2 pints ?? and getting silly and the amount of tax the government rakes in and that's how they con us go on and on and on and on and on about "Tax Cuts" that in the whole mainly benefit the already well off and then put up the indirect taxation ?? feel for most pub/bar/restaurants owners as they are just being run out of business and don't really feel sorry for the Londoners though as they have been robbing us who don't live there for decades  |

Is that in every bar?
Going to Tromso end of January, looks like beer and food will be off the menu. "
Six years ago coffee and cake for 6 in Iceland was about the same as going out for dinner in London. We didn't eat out much in Iceland. |

What power? A £15 drink as standard will kill the local. They're pretty much dead as it is nowadays. Witherspoons business model will go out of the window as well |

A couple of years ago I started buying shares in companies. I have sold everything linked to the hospitality industry in this country. Breweries, Hotels or even Cinema, luckily sold my Cineworld shares at a small loss before they totally tanked.
I dread to think what high streets will look like in the next decade. But I do think more markets will appear (as in stalls selling clothes, food) as all you need is the stock, table with canopy and a till. No heating costs but with very few shops open, a market surely will thrive ? Admittedly winter would be difficult. |

I dont drink so I'm all good .
The cost of everything is going up and will continue to go up. Unfortunately it's not looking like a short term glitch either.
The UK financial crisis will impact people's lives for years to come Unfortunately  .
Poverty will increase as will the closure of businesses and unemployment will increase too.
I think the conservatives need a slogan better than "Building back better and Levelling UP". Think it's going to be the opposite way around  |

Good idea but flawed. In the digital age we don’t need 650 MPs so I’ve no doubt there will soon be a slimmed down parliament. Expect huge job losses for politicians soon. |
