On average, the cost of the four drinks had risen 2.4% compared with 2013.

Den Bosch is the second most expensive city, followed by The Hague, Amsterdam and Rotterdam.

The survey, carried out by hospitality industry advice bureau Van Spronsen from Warmond, said the cheapest beer – an average of €1.92 – can be found in Eindhoven.

Rosé drinkers are best off in Nijmegen, with the average glass costing €3.15, while Breda tops the cheap list for soft drinks at an average €2.13.
