Herefordshire has the cheapest pubs in Britain when it comes to the price of a pint of beer, while London has the most expensive, according to the new edition of the Good Pub Guide.

The guide also says the average price of a pint in the UK has climbed 11p from last year.

How regions vary

In Herefordshire you can expect to pay an average of £3.03 per pint. In contrast, London's average price sits at £3.79.

Here's how all the regions compare.

The Value Pub of the Year award went to the Ring o' Bells in Lathom, Lancashire.

Tell-tale signs of a cheaper pint

It's not always easy to guess the price of a pint from the outside of a pub, though you could obviously go inside and ask (and a price list should also be available to view). But if you're scouting for a cheap beer that's a little more individual, a top tip would be to keep an eye out for a pub that brews its own beer.

Though not all that common, the guide claims that you typically save 45p a pint compared to the average local price.
