Cost of Running a Pub

The British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA) have published a report as a guide to the cost of running a pub for lessees and tenants in 2011.

The data shows the average cost of running a pub over a range of pub models based on turnover and business types. It covers a wide range of pubs, from those with little in the way of food sales, to those that are largely food-led.

The report takes account of the significant variations that exist in the cost base - even within those pubs that are broadly in the same category. Such costs are based on the size and location of the pub, the age and state of repair, the operating style and the experience of those in charge.

The report, as well as providing average costs, also includes minimum and maximum typical costs providing a range across different types of business.

This report is complimentary to one previously issued by the Association of Licensed Multiple Retailers (ALMR).

All publicans are urged to take time to study both reports in relation to their own premises, to see if and where any opportunities for their own businesses may lie.
