A SCOTTISH city was found to have the most expensive Wetherspoons pub for a pint of beer anywhere in the UK.
Research conducted by the data platform Stocklytics examined the average cost for a pint of Carling, Budweiser, Guinness, Heineken, Peroni and Stella at every Wetherspoons branch in the UK.
While the pub chain is known for selling cheap pints, one Scottish city appeared to buck the trend with patrons paying well above the rate of the cheapest pint found in the research: £3.19 at The Church in Wath-upon-Dearne in South Yorkshire.
Indeed, Edinburgh was home to the most expensive Wetherspoons pub for a pint in the UK.

An average pint in The Walter Scott pub in Edinburgh Airport will set drinkers back £6.80 – roughly a 112% increase from the cheapest pint.
It’s a good thing the famous Scottish author preferred whisky, then.
However, the high price of a pint in Edinburgh wasn’t echoed in all Spoons venues in Scotland.
When examined by region, Lothian had the cheapest pint with average cost of £3.42, while Clackmannanshire came second on £3.65.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
