You are lucky to have the kind of relationship you have with your local, it sounds ideal.

Unfortunately, as I said previously, price wise I have the choice of £3 to drink a bottle of wine at home, or £3.50 to drink one glass in the pub.

- hence I tend to drink only at home.
I almost always pop into my local on a Wednesday evening, I have 2-3 drinks and a quiet chat with the 'Old Gits' (OK, I'm getting to be one now)

On the weekend my local has Karaoke on Friday and a DJ on Saturday, it's obviously not quiet but I don't think it's any more noisy than all the people in Wetherspoons talking loudly.

I doubt I'm not the only one to notice how loud you have to shout in Wetherspoons to hold a conversation.
