Discounts will vary as pubs price their drinks differently.

But the average price of a pint of Ruddles is £1.79 so customers buying the bev will be getting a roughly 45% discount.

Customers will be able to get reduced prices on a range of spirits too, including whisky, gin, rum and vodka.

Plus, coffee and soft drinks across 810 pubs will be reduced to 99p.
