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

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.

Why was this petition rejected?

We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.

We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.

There are already laws on weights and measures that beer and cider must be sold in multiples of a half pint https://www.gov.uk/weights-measures-and-packaging-the-law/specified-quantities

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
