The study, by Pantry and Larder, was carried out by collecting over 300,000 prices from every Wetherspoons in the UK and covers every type of drink featured on the menu. They also used the data to create an interactive price map, where you can select your go-to Spoons order from the search bar and see how much it would cost you in different Wetherspoons across the country.

Veronica Fletcher, of Pantry & Larder, said: "Drink prices vary significantly across the UK, but certain drinks are notably cheaper in Scotland and these bring the average price down. For example, a bottle of Budweiser is £3.32 in most Wetherspoons in England, but £2.88 in most Scottish Wetherspoons."
