Question: Why is beer in most UK pubs so exensive?
When the likes of Wetherspoons can manage to sell it so cheaply?

Answers:

The vast majority of UK pubs are owned by the breweries so they are in a position to dictate their own price.

While Wetherspoons do sell food, so do many pubs, Wetherspoons became famous with a clever idea of buying beer direct from the breweries that had limited shelf life on it for a lower than normal price and making sure of a fast turn over.



all drinks in pubs are expensive thats how they make their money... in the food industry there is an unoffical rule that you make everything up by 1/3 of what ur labor and food cost is... so thats y beers are like 5.50 a bottle



Weatherspoons rely on selling food to make money - the beer is almost a loss leader, whereas most true pubs rely on selling beer for their profits.



Because the other big chains are greedy
