The firm, which operates dozens of pubs across the Black Country, put up the price of its pints on Thursday.

Bosses have said the cost of a pint rose by 3.3 per cent, but have stressed that figure is still below the rate of inflation.

It accounts for between 10p and 15p per pint.

A Marston’s spokesperson said: "We are increasing the price by 3.3 per cent, less than inflation.

"In terms of the price of a pint this equates to 10-15p per pint."
