Roughly what would this cost at your local ? (two soft drinks)

[alltoomuchrightnow]

Passing through Northamptonshire today, DP and I stopped off at a country pub , asked for 2 pints of orange juice and lemonade (ie mixed together)..
Bill came to £9.10. (please don't say, if you were not happy , why didn't you go somewhere else..we didn't check the prices beforehand as never have done with soft drinks, and we were ok to pay it - we were gasping...) It was only after when walking back to car, we thought , hang on, that was pretty extortionate! (even if they were pints).
Or was it?
But then I lived in London until 5 years ago and don't remember paying that much in 'regular' pubs (ie not flash bars kind of places). I also worked in a country pub myself (my local) two years ago that is considered v expensive, but their soft drinks are not that much.
So.. a rip off? Or are all soft drinks going up now?
As an almost teetotaller it is pretty offputting that soft drinks are costing as much as beers.

I meant gasping with being thirsty after a long walk, not gasping in shock!

Was it orange squash and water or britvic type orange and water? £1 a pint for the first and more for the second, maybe £3. Those little glass bottle are dead pricey.

If it was the little glass orange juices then i bet they put two in each glass and then lemonade. They’d be £1.50-£2 each so that would be about right.

I paid £5.20 for two pints of coke yesterday... I'd say yours is definitely pricey!!

That's pricey.

I wouldn't expect to pay more than £2.50 for a soft drink. If it was real orange juice and lemonade I'm wondering if they charged you for 4 drinks in total but combined them in a pint glass.

Christ! That's ridiculous. Around here that would come to about £4.

At my work we wouldn't charge for the lemonade so it would be £1.95 for the orange juice each!

Separate bottle of OJ and then lemonade in bottles also, I guess. The normal thing would be to use a bottle of OJ and then top it up with lemonade on tap. You've been fleeced, tell us where you went so we can all avoid it.

That's always been an expensive drink. They charge for the little orange juice bottles which are at least £1.50 /£2 the top up with lemonade. For a pint they'd use 2 so that's where your cost is.

We could buy two double G and Ts here for £8.

2 x pints of Henry cost £6 in my pub.

We do charge quite a bit for soft drinks. That price is ridiculous op.

Naice pub in the Cotswolds.

Around here that would be a small bottle of OJ plus a bottle of 7up each, so probably about €12 or more for the 2?
We don't tend to have post mix drinks which you would expect to be cheaper.

That's a lot and they should have said something before making the drinks up really. Ridiculous that what was probably carton orange juice and shitey postmix lemonade comes to a similar price to alcohol which has more tax on it.

Sounds like about £2 for a small amount of orange juice and £2.50 for a large lemonade to top it up. Tip if you want a soft drink that's not a rip off. Get lime, blackcurrant or orange cordial and soda, will cost a pound or less.

OJ & lemonade is super expensive IME. Over £4.50 a pint here.

I've paid similar to that and i think it's alot. I hope it was britvic orange and not a carton of long life.

Don't see what difference that makes. Britvic orange is just branded long life orange juice from concentrate. Exactly the same as what comes in cartons.

Barbara, lime and soda was my staple for years like about 20 years and it got too expensive... for instance, the pub I worked in, my local, they don't have soda water on the hose/tap thingy.. ,, it comes bottled up in individual little siphon bottles. A pint of soda and lime is about £4. I used to cringe when I was a bar maid there and people asked for one as they'd usually comment on the price
