Radical · Last Call for the Local: Are Old Pubs the Solution to Modern Crises? (Oisín Rogers) · 25 Jun 2026 podcast

We're talking a lot at the moment about the price of oil because of what's going on in the Strait of Hormuz. matched

How is the price of just beer that you have to pay, let alone punters have to pay, how has that changed in recent years and what affects it? matched

But you need large numbers of people doing it for it to be economical because your margins are there. matched

People think, oh, £29 for three courses might seem a lot, especially outside of London. matched

It's really not within London. matched

But you're not making a huge amount of money on that, are you? matched

Is that almost a way of getting people in? matched

You didn't do this because you wanted to be a billionaire. matched

What's the formula? matched

What have you done? matched

What have you cracked that others haven't? matched

Why do you say that the commercial value of, say, a beautiful, I don't know, grade two listed place in a beautiful town in the middle of the Midlands, what are you saying about its commercial value? matched

That it would have greater commercial value if it wasn't a pub and therefore you've got a lot of pressure on the publicans to sell up? matched

Right, right, right. matched

That's so interesting. matched

What could you do about that? matched
