Doncaster named as best place in Britain to get a cheap pint
The city tops the chart for bargain booze
Doncaster has been named as the best place in Britain for a cheap pint.
A four-pint round in Doncaster averages about £13, placing the city joint first in a UK table of the cheapest places to buy a pint.
The £3.25 city average is tied with Bradford and is £3.50 below London's figure, according to the statistics.
Data specialists at Play Casino analysed Finder's April 2026 average pint figures for 56 UK cities to identify the ten cheapest destinations.
The analysis uses the same city-average measure for every entry, so Doncaster's place is based on a comparable city figure rather than a single advertised offer.
The 10 cheapest UK places for a pint
1= Doncaster, £3.25 average pint
1= Bradford, £3.25 average pint
3. Hull, £3.36 average pint
4. Sunderland, £3.50 average pint
5. Dundee, £3.99 average pint
6= Derry, £4.00 average pint
6= Newport, £4.00 average pint
6= Wrexham, £4.00 average pint
9. Coventry, £4.03 average pint
10. Dunfermline, £4.20 average pint
A four-pint round across the ten cheapest places averages about £15.03. Compared with the £5.50 UK average, that is a saving of roughly £6.97 per round before local offers are applied, while Doncaster's own £13 average round is £9 below the UK benchmark.
London sits at the expensive end of the comparison with an average pint price of £6.75. Four pints at that city average would cost about £27, or £14 more than the same round in Doncaster, showing how sharply the bill can change between UK cities.
The local figure should be read as a city-wide guide for Doncaster rather than a promise attached to a particular venue. People heading into Doncaster city centre should check the menu or price board before ordering, especially if the round is being split between several people.
A spokesperson for playcasino.com said: “Doncaster’s joint-first place gives local drinkers a useful benchmark, but an average cannot guarantee the price at a particular venue. Anyone budgeting for a round should check the menu before ordering and allow for venue-specific offers. ”
