    I went to the pub the other day. usually buy alocoholic drink for £3.35 , but had lemonade instead. Cheeky price of £3.30! I didnt realise how bad it was. Where is the incentive for people to have a soft drink? I had tap water all night after that.

    Soda and Lime varies. I've paid anything from 50p a pint to £3!

    I was once asked to pay 50p for a pint of tap water in a pub😲. I queried it and they said it was to cover service and glass washing costs. I was going to argue the point as I'm fairly sure it is a legal requirement for licenced premises to supply tap water without charge but my husband just paid it 😕.

    21/25 and a yummy icecream please cathybird. Thank you. X

    Looks like licensed restaurants have to legally give free tap water. Pubs have to give the water free but can actually charge for use of a glass.
