Pubs are charging more for soft drinks than beers, claims survey

8th February 2010, 9:46am

Pubs are charging customers more for a soft drink than a pint of beer, a Sunday Mirror survey has found.

A pint of bitter is cheaper than an equivalent amount of a non-alcoholic drink in almost half of Britain's pubs.

One city centre bar was charging £2.60 for a pint of orange juice when the bitter was just £2.

The Sunday Mirror researchers went to 17 and compared the price of bitter and lager with a pint of orange juice or lemonade.

Figures found that at the Crown in Birmingham city centre, a pint of lemonade costs £2.30 – 31p more than a pint of pedigree, and orange juice at the Bristol Flyer in Bristol city centre cost £2.40 – 25p cheaper than a pint of bitter.
