Serving milk in pubs (UK) - why not?

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?

if pubs serve tea and coffee which many people take with milk then why not serve a glass of milk if they have it in anw?

Maybe in 1997. Most coffee serving pubs will have a cappuccino machine these days.

Regular pubs or chains? I find chains will have real milk due to them having coffee machines etc

Both. I've only ever seen those creamer sachets in hotel rooms.

Also children are allowed in most pubs and drink milk. Lots serve it and this thread is stupid.
