Bar pricing...

[EARLROY]

Hi guys,

I am very much a forum browser rather than poster but with a week to go can't help but get involved..

I was just wondering if anyone had heard about the 'booze' pricing at this yesar festival?

I have stocked up with various drinks offers that you guys have suggested but there's nothing like a cold one from one of the bars around site.

So... anyone got any insider information?

See you all in a week!

Also interested to hear prices, I've been from 2005-2009 but couldn't go last year. Someone I know went and claimed it was £4.50 for a pint of cider while I remember it being £3-£3.50 a pint. Has it gone up that much?

[Douzeper]

I think Tuborg was £3.70 last year IIRC

[Yesiamaduck]

When I went in 2009 it was around 3.70 for Tuborg

Brothers was around the same though they had a buy 3 for 10 pounds deal

The Cider Bus was around 3.50/pint if I recall... the prices tend to be below Central London Average

[robith]

And pretty sure Gaymers was either £3.90 or £4

It's a shame Tuborg stinks. One of the worst festival beers Iv had. It will be Gaymers pear for me if I decided to treat myself.

i worked on the bar at Friends of Mine festival in manchester a couple of weeks back and prices were:

£3.50 pint fosters

£4.00 pint bulmers

£4.00 spirit and mixer (smirnoff, JD, gordons gin etc.)

£6.00 vodka and red bull (yes really, people bought it!)

think wine was £4.00 glass, £12.00 bottle. but it was very good quality.

figure will be standard festival prices for this year.

yep, my memory is of between £3 and £4 per pint, depending on the brew.

Much like what I pay in most pubs round here (north surrey/edge of Greater London) but not as much as a club would charge.

Are there any cheaper places hidden away? I know there is food-wise, but not sure about alcohol-wise.

Seems reasonable. Will keep an eye out. Ta

Cubana looks like really top value.

£3 for a 500ml bottle of lager (so not quite a pint, but still)

£3.50 - £5 cocktails

[davidd]

they also did flyers for a cocktail and something to eat for around £7-8 last year. i printed loads off for our crew and left them on the dining table.

From memory, I think most of the 'main' bars were charged £3.50 for a pint of lager/bitter/cider

Only pay for it when the cans run out (except the traditional purchase of the Brother pear cider of course) - we stuff as many crates as we can in the car, and pop back to the car if we need to. Put 8 in the manbag and it lasts you for a few housrt!

LED festival at the weekend, wait an hour ish at the bar, pay £4.10 to be presented with a can of Tuborg. Or £3.70 for a 375ml bottle of Koppaberg. We should all be thankful. At least it comes in cups at the G.
