I remember when I holidayed in Malta ten years ago, Price of pint was 75p..
However in some African countries, they are selling pint for just 20p!

Sadly the £4 pint has arrived in parts of London, notably in some Mayfair/Knightsbridge pubs. Generally though I'd expect to pay anything between £2.80 to £3.40 in town. Sam Smiths pubs and Spoons are cheaper of course.

London prices can vary, depending on the particular pub amd the area in general. I work in SW1 and whereas there are pubs that charge around £3.50 a pint, there are others which are a little more reasonable: The Plumbers Arms and Victoria were both serving ales at around the £2.50 mark, on a recent visit. Maldenman is spot-on regarding the 'Spoons prices of course - though I have noticed the cost of Guinness creeping up!

Guinness is really going up. Using the best price I can buy it in at, and going off the GP (%) calculator from last year (updated with this years VAT rate) it tells me I should be selling it at £3.85. Needless to say I'm not! Glad to say, all being well in the budget (we can dream) Real Ale should be staying at the £2.80 - £3 mark. Worthy of note, at £3 a pint 45p is VAT.
Sorry for the boring maths, but I'm sure you can understand I've been spending far too much time looking at a spreadsheet and swearing quietly to myself. I typed in a VAT of 20% (my personal prediction for it by the end of the year) and started crying...

£4.00 for a pint of Spitfire in ex-Mr Madge's Punch Bowl last summer. £4.00 for a pint of Rudgate Blonde in the snootier of the Marylebone Beehives last autumn. £3.85 for a pint of Shepherd Neame Late Red in the unexceptional Heeltap (a Davys, near London Bridge) last week.
