Swansea and Aberystwyth are officially the cheapest places to buy cocktails on a night out, costing just £5.66 and £6 on average per drink. Meanwhile, Stirling and Durham are the cheapest locations for a pint costing just £2.65 and £2.69 on average.

The figures come as beer prices are set to rise by 30p a pint even before any duty increases are potentially announced in Rishi Sunak’s Budget, according to reports.

More than eight in 10 pubs have bumped their prices or plan to do so as rising costs are passed on to punters. This includes those caused by higher wages along with energy and supply shortages, The Times reports.

Soaring prices have left publicans appealing to the Chancellor to freeze the alcohol duty rate amid fears the £6 pint could become commonplace in London and the south-east.

The shortage of hospitality staff returning after furlough has prompted pubs to increase wages to fill the estimated 134,000 vacancies across the sector.
