Quote FickleFingerOfFate="FickleFingerOfFate"Over £3 for a pint in The Elephant compared to considerably less in Wetherspoons, is probably down to what you want to got to the pub to do?
If you want to go and get leathered watching 'freeview' in Wetherspoons, that's fine but if you want to watch the match on Sky at The Elephant, the Sky subscription is obscene in pubs, so that's why the beer is more expensive.'"
I would imagine the Sky subscriptions would be pretty much the same in them both allowing for the square footage.
As for the difference in beer prices that's simply down to buying power which Whetherspoons have, so much so that they can buy beer cheaper than normal because it is coming up to it's sell by date and comfortably sell it while still in date.
