The average price of a Nottingham pint - and how it compares to other UK and European cities

Over the past couple of years, it’s felt like the price of everything has gone up. 

From packets of crisps to petrol, all products for sale in the UK have been affected by soaring inflation. 

The Government has a target of keeping inflation at 2%, but the current rate is double that. 

With more of our income spent on necessities, that’s left us with less cash to spend on things that we actually enjoy, like nights out. 

Once you factor in a taxi into town, entry to a club, and then a few rounds of drinks, partygoers these days will do well to get change out of a £50 note. 

Even those after a quiet evening in the pub have been hit by the rising cost of beer.
