According to the BBPA, the average £4.80 pint is now pouring at a 9p loss. To keep the usual 12p profit, prices would need to rise to £5.01.
We’ve been working closely with our hospitality clients, and the response isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some have raised prices by 50p to protect their margins. Others, less affected by duty changes and more by general inflation, have only gone up 10p.

Your real costs, your product mix, your local market.
What works down the road might not work for you.
Trade-specific insight matters. It’s best to speak to your accountant or stock-taker first.
