We are really looking forward to welcoming our members and guests back, and seeing the club busy again.
Before we open we feel that it’s only fair to advise all our members and guests of the need to increase some prices.
Last year we were notified by Greene King that as from 7th September 2020, the price of all wines and spirits supplied by them was going to increase by 3%. We didn’t increase prices at time as we had already undertaken a stock review in the summer. However, prices have since gone up again with an announcement from the brewery in Mid-April that they, and their third party suppliers, would be increasing prices from the 1st May 2021. We have also seen an increase in other significant costs such as cleaning products, energy costs and the minimum wage.
Due to the combination of all these increases, coupled with the closures over the last year, we unfortunately need to review and increase some of our prices when we reopen. This review has been taken into account across all areas of the business and will see an increase to the room hire fees as well as some drink prices – although memberships will remain static for now, the price of these may need to be reviewed with an amendment proposed at a future AGM.
