Since 1st August 2024, The Wyvern has been operating as a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC). While we previously ran as a private members’ club, our focus is now on serving the entire local community rather than a membership-based model.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU:
Open to Everyone – No membership required!
Optional Discount Cards – Available for regular customers:
- Individual Card: £32 per year
- Family Card: £48 per year (includes half-price additional card)
- Customers spending over £21.35 per month (individuals) or £32 per month(families) will benefit from a discount card.
Discount Change – The discount for cardholders is now 12.5% (previously 17.5%). This was the standard rate prior to COVID and allows us to fairly price drinks for all customers.
Retired & Ex-Somerset Council Discounts – These special discounted rates are no longer available as part of our transition to serving the wider community.
PRICING & COSTS
While many brewers have increased their prices, we have chosen not to pass these increases on at this time.
Once most discount card holders have transitioned to the 12.5% rate, we will review our drink prices with the aim of reducing them where possible.
This must be balanced against rising costs, including an estimated £10,000+ increase due to the government’s budget changes (business rate increases & minimum wage rise).
REINVESTING IN THE COMMUNITY
As a not-for-profit CIC, any surpluses we generate are reinvested back into The Wyvern to improve facilities and services for the community.
We appreciate your support as we continue to make The Wyvern a welcoming space for everyone.
Thank you for being part of our community!
