Yeah, it seems like they are. Its a shame though, spoons needs competition. I don’t know the price per pint for a pub supplier but supermarkets provide a wide variety for under £1/pint. So even if you don’t get the same bulk deals as spoons, surely being within £1 or so shouldn’t be too difficult? I mean that is +50% still but that is more reasonable than +300%

If it was a just bit more I could believe that a lot more. Also we have a local independent Chinese restaurant that sells drinks for vastly less than any other pub except spoons. They absolutely don’t have bulk supplier options. Honestly wouldn’t even surprise me if they are just buying it from Tesco.

Have they tried charging a reasonable amount for drinks? Spoons can charge under £2 a drink, what expenses do you have that they don’t to justify charging several times more?

The real scam was capitalism?

They can work just fine if you have a fairly wide area, a parallel path would probably be fine in places that doesn’t work though. Ideally you would want to keep the distance someone walks from when they have to get off their bike pretty short or realistically you are going to get a lot of people just cycling anyway.

I hope they keep/make decent bike lanes at least nearby
