The price of tea in the Jim Parks Bar


Does anybody agree with me that at £1.40 the price of a cup of tea in the Jim Parks Bar is at least 40% too high? Yesterday I enjoyed a lovely cuppa in the Durham Pavilion for just a pound. Check out the number of people who bring flasks to the cricket at Hove - surely lots of them would be buying tea in the pavilion if it was a decent price.

 

[Guy Fawkes]

sounds a reasonable price to me.

£1 95 in a motorway services, served in a lovely cardboard cup. Robbing bastards.

this is a joke right

you f***ing tight arse!!

 

[Barrel of Fun]

No point grumbling. Did we not lose £600k last year? I would rather we try and prop up the club through profitable catering/merchandise than slashing the wage budget.

The price of a cup of a tea is almost always way out of proportion to the cheapness of the ingredients. Usually, when the cheapest possible tea is used, the cost to the customer is utterly outrageous - the South Stand catering vans being evidence of this theory. But I can rarely pass the opportunity to buy a cup of tea. Even from the South Stand catering vans.

 

[shoreham moonraker]

yes but the cake served in there is well lush.

Cup = 1p
Teabag = 3p
Milk = 5-10p
Sugar = 2p
Water = 0p.

85p a MUG at university. And it's fairtrade so it always goes down well

 

[Horney]

Cup = 1p
Teabag = 3p
Milk = 5-10p
Sugar = 2p
Water = 0p.

Try....Teabag= 1p
Milk=3-4p
Sugar=1.5p
Cup=1p
Total cost of one cuppa = approx 7p
It would be a healthy mark-up at 50p per cup but none of us begrudge paying £1 ( £1.40 is possibly a bit steep but I have paid this before )

Bovril is 1.60 at Withdean.

So according to paxo's ecocomics, where water costs nothing, and no sugar or milk is needed, that's an even healthier margin.

This is the County Cricket Club ... not the cafe at the Open Market.

 

[Storer68]

personally i find Harveys at £2.60 a pint MUCH more appealing !)- if you don't want to pay it then don't buy it! (and a pint of Marstons "Smoth Beer" will cost you £3.60 at Lords

and its not £1.40 a cup - its £1.40 for a MUG of tea (there is a difference quantatively speaking!)

dont know where you get 1p for a cup,and water 0p,dont they pay water rates,and then youve missed the biggest thing,labourr

err 40% of £1.40 is not 40p

so no electric, staff, rent, rates etc...........and free water eh. Hope you never have to quote for anything in your job, cos you would come well under budget then forget to add in your cost!!!

 

[Robbie G]

Think he means that £1.40 is 40% greater than £1, i.e. 140% of £1 is £1.40

I didn't put a price of them though, did I? Meaning I wasn't talking about them, just the Tea itself. Plumchops.
