Just back from three days at Whitby. Yes beer, especially Guinness, was expensive. However, I reckon at £5 per round for me and my partner multiplied by 4 is not a bad night out when you are listening to good singers singing great songs and harmonies, for 'free' in the little room in the Station. You would pay a lot more for a concert and have to buy drinks on top. You get what you pay for.
