Odd Lots
What It Takes to Run One of London's Most Popular Pubs

I think that's fair.

Odd Lots
What It Takes to Run One of London's Most Popular Pubs

But I think it's true.

Odd Lots

You can, if you want to, go and find a pint for Β£10.

Odd Lots
What It Takes to Run One of London's Most Popular Pubs

But is that the place you're going to really want to drink?

Odd Lots
What It Takes to Run One of London's Most Popular Pubs

I don't think so.

Odd Lots

So what we try and do, and I think what most of the industry does, is to fix our prices for a long period of time.

Odd Lots
What It Takes to Run One of London's Most Popular Pubs

So we'll know what volume we're going to do.

Odd Lots

We'll speak to a load of suppliers and tender out our purchasing.

Odd Lots
What It Takes to Run One of London's Most Popular Pubs

They'll come back to us with a price.

Odd Lots
What It Takes to Run One of London's Most Popular Pubs

We'll make a decision and then we can do the budget.

Odd Lots
What It Takes to Run One of London's Most Popular Pubs

We try and keep it as simple as that.

Odd Lots
What It Takes to Run One of London's Most Popular Pubs

And, you know, with some of our suppliers, we're fixed more or less now for three years.

Odd Lots
What It Takes to Run One of London's Most Popular Pubs

So I'm pretty happy with that.

Odd Lots

All of the Guinness in the UK now is made in Dublin.

Odd Lots
What It Takes to Run One of London's Most Popular Pubs

It's exactly the same as what you get in Dublin when it arrives in the pub.

Odd Lots

However, there's probably 30 variables that can make a difference as to what it tastes like when it gets to the glass and you taste it.

Odd Lots
What It Takes to Run One of London's Most Popular Pubs

So in order to get those 30 variables spot on is really, really difficult.

Odd Lots
What It Takes to Run One of London's Most Popular Pubs

What are some of the key ones?

Odd Lots
What It Takes to Run One of London's Most Popular Pubs

The key, the temperature of the keg, the temperature of the room it's in, the width of the line it comes through, the mixture of gas that you push it through with, the temperature of the cooler, the speed it comes through the line, the kind of tap you've got, how clean your glass is, lots and lots of things.

Odd Lots

This is what our listeners want.
