Re: Down 4 to 97 Mitchells & Butler also down - not sure whether one is following the other or just bad sentiment ?

Re: Down 4 to 97 Turkey, unless I have missed anything particular re Marston's, I think it is partly due to the doom and gloom in the eating out sector......general cost increases including wages, and an over supply of mediocre samey samey restaurants. Look at Zizzi, Jamie's, etc. Greene King are also having a hard time and are calling a halt to one of their foodie brands.I am well under water on my investment and if things don't improve in the medium term, I may get out and take the hit. The divis are good but the SP ain't! However, at the moment, I am struggling to see where my hard earned dosh could be usefully employed, so here's hoping for brighter times ahead!

Re: trading under 2012 levels That's what I was trying to indicate the shares are lower priced now virtually any time in recent history!However in part it has been caused by a share split & a rights issue the latter of which the share chart here does not account for,but only part Marston's is one of the worst performing shares.I gave details of these in my post 5-12-2017.

Re: trading under 2012 levels TX2. Not sure what you mean as it was in the 300’s back in the mid 2000’s.

Re: trading under 2012 levels The shares are probably inexpensive;but as for trading under 2012 levels I think you could fill in trading under virtually any years level back to the 1980's!!!!!

Re: trading under 2012 levels I notice that the yield (7.4%) is higher than the P/E (7.1). Not many companies can boast that!Having said that, the dividend cover looks adequate so maybe I'll wait for the interims.R.

Re: Charles Wells Brewery and Marstons Tomhawbuck,Good info. When Marston's announced the purchase of Charles Wells I was sceptical because I thought it was an old brewery that probably needed a lot of investment. I didn't realise that it was fairly large and modern.The market isn't convinced with Marston's at the moment so lets hope that the directors plans for the business will be innovative.Buy the way, you mentioned the bottling line. Its good to have capacity ready for expansion etc but regarding contract work, I used to work in a bottling plant and we did contract work and there wasn't much money in it.Regards, D.L.

Charles Wells Brewery and Marstons Last November I went on a tour of the Charles Wells Brewery now owned by Marstons. It is huge - seemed much bigger than Fullers (not as big as Greene King) and very modern. I was expecting something down home and quaint. Not so. It was probably built on that scale to brew Red Stripe and when Wells lost the brewing contract in 2014 the plant was possibly too big for them, though they did try to run other brews through the plant eg. Youngs. I thought that more could have been done to maximise revenue. They have a bottling line which was not running at the time of our visit - 'do you do contract bottling?' said I. 'No' they said. Well why not use such an asset to generate more cash, I thought. The reason for this story is that I think that if Marstons can get that plant running to something like full capacity they could do very well indeed.I am a long distance walker and we sometimes fetch up at a Marston's Pub. It is a good day when that happens - good beer, value for money food. So, everything being equal I might invest some of next year's ISA allowance in Marstons.
