kebabs than in Britain&#8217;s cheapest towns, it has been revealed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There is a clear divide between pub prices in the North and South, where drinkers in the County Durham town of Consett only pay \u00a32.65 for a pint, according to analysis.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the price of a beer in London\u00a0will usually cost more than \u00a36, with the dearest average coming in at \u00a36.63 in the west of the city.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And a post-night out treat at a kebab shop also sees a stark difference in how much a hungry Briton can expect to pay depending on where they live, MailOnline can reveal.<\/p>\n<p>Those in South East London can pay up to \u00a313.90 for a doner kebab in Greenwich, while Surrey also sees high prices of around \u00a312.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img

picture)<\/p>\n<p>In comparison, Northerners will only have to fork out half as much money, with a kebab in Normanton, West Yorkshire, coming in at \u00a35 and Blaydon-on-Tyne also offering a \u00a35.50 bargain.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For many, a trip to the pub and a kebab shop visit comes as the highlight of the working week.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the cost-of-living crisis and price divisions may see some priced out of what once was a simple treat with friends in the evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Experts at data consultancy CGA surveyed 9,000 pubs in 865 areas to analyse where drinkers are getting the best value for their money.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Eight out of ten of the most expensive areas for pints could be found in London, with the other two just outside the capital at Virginia Water in Surrey, and Great Missenden in Buckinghamshire.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The most pricey areas for a kebab were also in London, where customers will expect to pay at least \u00a38.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Paul Bolton, head of GB drinks at the CGA, said: &#8216;We definitely see a north-south divide, with prices for a pint in London and the South East way above those in the central and northern regions in terms of average price of a pint.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8216;It is also ultimately down to what consumers are willing to pay in those areas.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The consultancy looked at prices over 12 weeks over July and August from pubs and bars.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The CGA said that figures may vary depending on the type of pint and establishment &#8211; as well as varying business rates, rents and wages.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"

price of beer by 10 per cent in six months\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>Mr Bolton added: &#8216;It is not all black and white \u2013 certain pub chains for example are able to offer cheaper pints based on their business model, regardless of where they are.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Also, a pint in the centre of Manchester is likely to cost significantly more than one in Hyde just seven miles away, due to the variation of the cost of doing business in both of those areas.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Jane Peyton, from drinks consultancy School of Booze, said: &#8216;When ordering a beer in the north I&#8217;ve often questioned the price and said &#8216;I asked for a pint not a half,&#8217; and they laugh and say: &#8220;This is not London&#8221;&#8216;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The cost of doing business \u2014 rents, rates, wages \u2014 is much higher in London than rural areas in the north.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>It was revealed earlier this week that the price of beer has almost doubled in \u00a315 years, and a pint can now cost \u00a39 in some areas in London.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"
