Jane xx The menu's look good, but if you look at the price of that hotel, the comparison with a P&O menu is a bit unfair.🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eglesbrech Posted September 12, 2023 #49834 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Public health announcement. Had my flu vaccine this morning and I’m now feeling really rough. Sore arm, sore head, nauseous and very tired. OH is exactly the same and he never reacts to anything, The nurse did say that this one could cause a few side effects (after it was in my arm 😀) and it is already. My friend had it last week and was laid low for 2 days as well. So if you haven’t had it already time your flu jag for when you don’t have much to do for the day or so after it just in case. Some of course will be absolutely fine with it. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eglesbrech Posted September 12, 2023 #49841 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Did anyone read the article today about dynamic pricing in pubs, Apparently one change is now charging more at busy times, about 20p extra a pint for now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pub visits are few and far between usually just once or twice a year for out of season bowling meetings and then I am usually driving so drinking soft drinks only. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next it will be dynamic cruising ...Oh wait a minute 🙃 Joking apart ,when pubs do happy hours no one complains ,so when the pub has massive crowds . IE big football matches the punters expect service and not staff shortages . When the match ends the pub could be empty in less than an hour . The pub trades have suffered as social /wmc clubs , lots of permanent closures in some cases . So I can see why they are trying dynamic pricing . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrierjohn Posted September 12, 2023 #49846 Share Posted September 12, 2023 We have learned to accept P&Os version of dynamic pricing, which they apply when demand is high, so maybe regular pub goers will also be prepared to pay more at busy times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane xx Yep tears of joy or disappointment who knows but tonight I had a practice in the form of a carvery in the pub by having a good dollop of their mustard . To say it clears your sinuses is an understatement . That brings tears to your eyes but Mrs K was having non of it ... Spoil sport 😉🙃 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won’t be affected as never visit ours just for drink, we may visit a pub with a restaurant, but if this was introduced in any of our local pub restaurants then we would go elsewhere. This for of “Fluid pricing” would be the opposite of “Happy Hour”. What next fluid pricing in supermarkets shop at a busy period and you pay more. Hospitality is struggling at the moment the last thing it needs is a system that could well drive customers away. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly looks very good. Not cheap, but you have to pay for quality these days. Hope you don't mind the questions, but I am looking for a nice hotel for next June and this one is certainly a contender. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
