Who said a pint has to set you back £6.50? Things may be getting eye-wateringly extortionate in the UK right now, but there are still some places in this country you can go to to get a nice crisp pint of lager on the cheap. Thank heavens for that.
A new study has done the lord’s work and looked into where you can get the cheapest pints in Europe. To our surprise, a mega six British locations made it into the top 10 cheapest places for boozing on the continent. Cheers to that.
According to the report by credit card company Aqua, one of Europe’s least spenny pints can be found in Llandudno in Wales. At this Welsh seaside resort a pint of the good stuff apparently costs an average £2.71, which is only 70p cheaper than Europe’s cheapest pint, which was found in Prague. Llandudno came in a respectable fifth place in the ranking.
Not far behind, coming in joint seventh place was the Lake District, Forest of Dean and the Cotswolds, where an average pint was £3 in all locations. These spots were followed by Blackpool where a lager costs an average £3.25. Finally, in 10th place was Deal. The price has crept up a bit here, but it’s still less than a fiver – the average price of a pint in the Kent town was £4.10.
It’s good to know that cheap boozing is still possible on our fair isle. We’ll see you in Llandudno.
