These are the cheapest and most expensive places to buy a pint

The price of a pint of beer has soared by 10p in the last year, the Good Pub Guide has revealed.

Published this week, the 2020 edition of the guide has also revealed the cheapest and most expensive places in the country to go for a drink.

In England the average cost of a pint of beer has risen by 2.7 per cent to £3.79, and the gap between the most expensive and cheapest places has been found to be a significant £1.11.

Shropshire is the cheapest place in terms of average pint price, with a bevvy looking to set you back by £3.46, while in London - the most expensive place on the list - you can expect to pay £4.57.

The annual survey also found that a number of places in the country, including Sussex and Surrey, had joined London in having average prices of more than £4. Last year the capital was the only place in this category.

Those looking for a bargain pint need to head to Yorkshire, Northumbria, Shropshire or Staffordshire.
