PUNTERS can pay just £3.19 for pints at the cheapest Spoons’ pub in the land, bucking the trend of beer-flation.
Office for National Statistics data shows the price of a pint has skyrocketed 28 per cent across the nation since 2019, or an average hike of £1.03 per beer.
But coming to the rescue are a series of Spoons boozers still selling pints for pennies.
At the top of the apex is The Church House in Wath-upon-Dearne, South Yorkshire, where pints set set punters back only £3.19.
It was once a 19th-century house declared sacred by the Archbishop of York.
At those pint prices, today’s beer drinkers surely agree.
The golden figure comes after data platform Stocklytics analysed prices on popular beer brands at every Spoons pub in the UK.
South Yorkshire residents are in luck when it comes to cheap pints – second on the list is also in the region, with The Horseshoe in Wombwell offering beers for just £3.23.
At equal second, The Sir William de Wessyngton in Washington, Tyne and Wear has pints up for the same price.
Tyne and Wear punters after a bargain beer can also flock to The Harry Clasper in Whickham to snap them up for £3.24.
On the flip-side, Londoners unsurprisingly cough the up the most coin at their local Spoons – eight of the top 10 most expensive are in the nation’s capital.
They include The Moon Under Water in Westminster (£6.77) The Willow Walk in Victoria (£6.48) and The Sir John Hawkshaw in the City of London (also £6.48).
But claiming the unwanted gong as the UK’s most expensive is a boozer in Edinburgh.
At The Sir Walter Scott, a pint is priced at £6.80.
The figures come after a study warned forking out £25 for a beer by 2040 may not be so unrealistic.
Since the average cost of a lager has ballooned 11 per cent this year, if the trend continues it will cost a crazy £25.70 in 16 years.
A Sun poll revealed 89 per cent believe pints should cost no more than £5.
Tom Porter, 44, of Berkhamstead, Herts, said his mind was still blown by pubs charging more than that figure.
He said: “I’m only just getting my head round paying £5 for a pint.
“If it gets to a tenner that’s bad enough – I’ll certainly not be getting the rounds in – and if it gets to £25-a-pint I’m going teetotal.”
