I was in a local pub (more interested in food than drink) and I politely
asked where the price list was.

The barmaid explained that there wasn't one because the new one (with
price amendments) had not been put up yet.

I reminded her that it was illegal.

I'm finding it harder to find price lists these days. Is it really
worth reporting and who to?

As the local city (or district) council is responsible for licensing
matters I would guess they would be the chappies to complain to.

Different department - local Trading Standards.
Contact phone numbers are usually in the phone book.

Unless I thought they were doing it to intentionally deceive, then I would
probably leave it with just letting them know that its the law to have it
displayed.

Exactly the same happened to me today. There is a consipracy to lie in
these cases. The assistant manager of the pub said exactly the same
thing to me [there wasn't one because the new one (with price
amendments) had not been put up yet]. Clearly that was a patent lie.

Soon after the manager of the pub came up to me and asked me to leave,
claiming wrongfully I was being too aggressive. I was not aggressive,
merely reminding these people that they were breaking the law. I have
now reported them to my local trading standards office, but I would
suggest a more appropriate strategy would be to waste the bar staff's
time.

If there is no price list visible from the bar ask the price of every
drink you can see from the bar - all the liquors, all the beers,
lagers, bottled beers, soft drinks, and spend 5 seonds writing down
the price of each on a piece of paper. They will soon get fed up after
about 5 drinks if they are busy.

Do this for every pub you go into which doesn't have a price list.
