just got home from a very pleasant couple of hours in the garden at the "ringers", nice people around including visiting boaters, nice beer and snacks, pleasant staff, a great atmosphere and a lovely sunset to watch over stockport, coupled with a couple of pints of Veltin lager........very nice!

Blimey!  You'd have to pay me 6 quid to consume a pint of Carlsberg   ;D

Meanwhile, here's an update on my survey of rural beer prices at pubs around Marple (my dog knows the way to them all...)  In each case, the price is for a pint of bitter, with the percentage increase since April last year, rounded to the nearest whole % (see post of 6 April 2009).

Fox (Brookbottom)           £2.45     7%
Devonshire (Mellor)          £2.50     4%
Sportsman (Strines)         £2.60     4%
Romper (Marple Ridge)      £3.00     11%

In the case of the smaller increases, much (if not all) of these percentages will have been because of the restoration of VAT to 17.5%, coupled with increases in duty.  But the Romper's 11% looks a bit greedy..... :o!

Dropped by at the Romper yesterday evening, and had a nice pint of Black Sheep out on the deck.  But it was £3.   :o   

Is this the most expensive real ale in marple?

Now the clocks have gone forward and the weather has improved, it's been nice to walk the dog on a sunny evening, and as ever one's footsteps seem to wend their way to some of the rural pubs we have on the fringes of Marple.   :P

So here is an update on this all-important matter.  In each case, the price is for a pint of decent bitter:

Fox (Brookbottom)           £2.30
Devonshire (Mellor)          £2.40
Sportsman (Strines)         £2.50
Romper (Marple Ridge)      £2.70

Quite a wide price variance there, with the two Robbies pubs the cheapest.

Belly is referring to Marple Cricket Club.

He is - i thought my avatar might give it away.

Anyway I was wrong - the guest bitter is £2.15! I'ver not noticed the pint for a single pint due to all those rounds I have to keep getting in!
Words are trains for passing through what really has no name...

Frederic Robinson Ltd ......are also encouraging their tenants and their customers to log onto the "Axe the beer Tax- Save the Pub" Website;www.axethe beertax.com to make clear to Goverment that pubs need a break from the endless tax increases(including the2% above inflation duty escalator).

Thanks for the link, jet.  I have signed up on axethebeertax.com and it would be great if others who use and value our local pubs could do the same.   36 pubs are closing every week.  We've already lost many of our local shops and post offices - if we lose the pubs as well it would be a real blow to local communities.  Sign up now while we've still got them!

The site also automatically sends an email to your MP (i.e. Andrew Stunnell in our case) to urge him to support the Early Day Motion which has been put forward at Westminster, to persuade the governement to halt the annual above-inflation rises in beer duty. 

To answer the question, Robbies Unicorn Bitter is usually £2.30 a pint.  Other breweries' bitters (if you can find any!) tend to be between £2.40 and £2.60.
