Brits face a staggering 6 percent price increase in pubs, bars and restaurants, preparing for the unimaginable £9 pint.
Rising costs facing the hospitality industry have forced price hikes, insiders say.

This is a tremendous increase from his halcyon days in 2008, when the average price of a pint was just £2.30.
Since then, the price of a pint has risen by 72% in the last few years, reaching an average of £3.95 in 2022. According to finder.com, the highest price is £5.50.
In June, the UK's most expensive pint topped £8 in the capital.
