From great to greed?

From great to greed in one year? It's just not what it was anymore. We went every week for the pizza lunch offer, for roughly two years, but not anymore.
To start with, it's suddenly not a pizza anymore, but some kind of pita.
Then there are no vegetarian options in that lunch offer to choose from (last week there were at least three vegetarian pizzas, now it's one vegan pita), and to top it all, the price went up from £5, roughly a year ago, to £6, and now in one go to £8.
Just to be clear, no problem with a little price increase here and there. Everybody does that, but it should be done somehow remotely in line with actual inflation. In roughly one year, from £5 to £8 means around 6O% more, while the national inflation rate is 2%. Well, perhaps you are paying your waiters now 60% more? Or did the price for the pizza/pita flour went up by 60%? Or, perhaps more realistically, are you simply trying to maximise profits by checking out how much you can take before you loose too many customers? Well, looks like the old game that many pubs lost for good.
My suggestion: Let's stop going to the Salisbury Arms for the rest of this year. Perhaps hardly anyone bothered and the pita is £12 then, or many bothered, and the game stops? Hard to say, but we give it a try. See you in 2025 - perhaps. 😄
And yes, there are alternatives: Fireaway pizza lunch offer? Great pizza - good price, and clearly bigger than the Salisbury Arms lunch offer pizza was, i.e. you could share. The Regal - pints for under £3, and vegan Ramen Noodles with an alcohol free Erdinger for £9? Impressive and delicious! Clearly better than the Salisbury pita!

Favourite place for pizza

This pub is a favourite of mine to visit with Omni friends, as all of the pizzas can be made with vegan cheese! They do occasionally change the menu, currently there is also a yummy vegan pizza which has a hummus base, that I recommend trying. We try to go on Mondays as its 2for1, meaning you get a really good pizza for £5 ish. Friendly staff and quirky decor, this is a great pub and handily close to the train station

Pros: delicious vegan pizza, Monday deals, friendly and relaxed pub

Cons: can be busy, especially on Mondays, slightly out of the city centre
