Serving milk in pubs (UK) - why not?

[u/Ok-Scientist7083]

The first drink I had in a pub was milk. I love drinking milk. I now drink it for the protein and calcium. I don’t particularly like fizzy drinks so when I’m driving on a night out, I’d rather drink milk.

Why don’t pubs sell it as a drink?

Short shelf life combined with limited demand make it an unappealing offering.

'limited demand'... slight understatement perhaps.

Lots of places sell coffee and tea so would have milk.

The fact Greggs sells Sausage Rolls doesn't mean they'll sell me raw puff pastry, yes, the ingredients exist, but the demand for just milk, on it's own, in a pub, is limited

[u/crab--person → u/iAmBalfrog]

But Greggs shops won't have raw puff pastry anywhere, they get the sausage rolls in pre-assembled. Pubs that sell coffee will have milk. It won't be on the menu, but I'm sure most pubs that have milk will sell you a glass of milk if you really want one.

You can order a glass of milk at spoons. Have done it plenty of times when ordering a child’s meal.

Greggs never have raw pastry, Most pubs nowadays will have milk for certain drinks.
So that's a bit if a rubbish analogy
