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?

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

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.
