With the cost of living on the rise and the energy crisis biting, going out for an after work pint or a couple of drinks on the weekend is becoming increasingly difficult to afford. Pubs themselves are grappling with rising costs and bills, which could soon be passed onto customers as well.
Sub £2 pints are likely to be a thing of the past before very long, although our sister site Stoke-on-Trent Live recently found a pint of John Smith’s for an incredibly cheap £1.89 at a pub called the Auctioneer in Hanley, Staffordshire.
Something the Auctioneer has in common with several pubs in Greater Manchester is that it is owned by Amber Taverns. So we decided to visit a couple of these establishments in search of a cheap pint.
