Is this expensive?

[simpo two]

A pub, Essex/Suffolk border near the coast. A large glass of Shiraz - four pounds 20 bloody p

Is that right or am I suddenly in Canary Wharf?

Did you get an opinion on the quality of the wine, or were you drinking it?

[matchless]

£3.99 here a Bottle!!
moral is buy a bottle and drink it at home!

Can't say, I was on IPA.

I know! I told the landlord you can get it for £2.99 a bottle in Morrisons but he kept rambling on about 'ambience'.

I can still smell the 'ambience', is fag smoke, on my jumper :-(

Sounds about right for such an up and coming area! Which pub out of interest?

Well I think I'd pay a little more for a small glass of Shiraz!

Probably best not say under the N&P rules. But I just remembered another example...

I bought 2 packets of nuts and it came to £1, ie 50p each.

Later on I ordered a pint of Kronenbourg and 2 packets of nuts. It came to £5.05. So if the nuts are 50p each, that's £4.05 for a pint of Kronenbourg...

Note to self: must keep brain switched on during ordering procedure....

There's a bar in Ipswich, my mate was feeling especially flush so ordered a round for all of us, there were about 10 of us. We all went for Amstel for simplicity, he then found out that it was £5.85 a pint for Amstel It's not the chuffing Ritz!

Doesnt seem bad for a large glass of wine.

Pub in Windsor, just a pub, on the river but still a pub used to be a great pub before it sold out - the swines.

Two large Kurant and cranberries.

£17 please sir.

£7.75 for a Vokda Redbull at my Regular!

£10 a Shot for their Gold Tequila :|

Fun when you're out with like minded alcamafrolics!

I paid £5.20 for a single gin and tonic in a hotel bar in Leeds! I know Hotel bars are traditionally pricey but it's Leeds ffs!

You swanky git (where have you been?).

£4ish for a large glass, i.e. 250ml is not that unreasonable for a half decent place. That's just under 3 glasses to a bottle, so equates to £12.50ish a bottle - no horrific so long as it isn't mega-cheap plonk.

Hotel bar prices are always a con. I paid £6.50 for a Glenmorangie at a hotel in the Cotswolds! Having a laugh.

Buy one - where did I put my hip flask?

We have london commuters living near the airport these days dontcha know.

Which Hotel? (Just so I know to avoid)

[gbbird]

A large glass of decent wine costs around 3.40 to 4 squid in London.

My advice - always get a bottle

Lol! It was the Metropole (I think that's right), near the station. It's had a revamp recently I think. Needless to say we went and drank elsewhere!
