The Hog, a popular local pub, has voiced its frustration over recent government policy changes that have led to a significant increase in operating costs. As a result, the pub has raised the price of a pint by 20p, a move that manager and landlord say was unavoidable.
“We’re feeling the squeeze from rising taxes and regulatory fees,” explained the landlord. “We understand that price hikes are never welcome, but we hope our customers can appreciate the challenges we face.”
Despite the price increase, The Hog remains committed to providing a welcoming atmosphere and quality service to its patrons. The landlord also reassured customers that the decision was made reluctantly and only after careful consideration.
