Make it a legal requirement that pubs serve a full pint (568ml) of beer or cider

Petition Details

Many establishments routinely underfill pints, reducing value and breaching consumer rights. We call for stricter enforcement, clearer guidelines, and penalties for non-compliance to protect customers and uphold trading standards. A pint should be a pint—nothing less.
