The standard uk measure is 25ml, but many pubs use the irish measure which is 35ml , this gives you 40% more. Doubles are 50ml or 70ml. If a 35ml shot costs you £2.50 this is equal to a 25ml shot costing £1.80. To work out the cost ,divide a 35ml shot by 7 then mutiply by 5 to get the equivalant price for 25ml.

all pubs have to dispay a weight and measures act sign stating which measure ty use. Most use 25 ml although you are also allowed to use 35ml. A pub is only allowed to sell spirits in multiples of the measure on their notice.

Under the Weights and Measures act, core spirits (vodka, gin, whisky, rum) must be sold in measures, or multiples thereof, of 25ml or 35ml; unless sold prepackaged (WKD, Smirnoff Ice etc.). Most pubs now serve exclusively their core spirits (vodka, gin, whisky, rum) in 35ml. Other spirits, such as tequila and sambuca are more commonly sold in 25ml as shooters, but there is no legal restriction on measures, other than you cannot serve larger than 75ml (3 x 25ml, or 2 x 35ml) of spirit in a single glass.

Most pubs offer main line spirts in 35ml mesaures, there is or should be a notice displayed behind the bar. (By main line, I mean Vodka, Rum Barcdi gin etc!) some places may still offer 25ml shots, again should ne anotice displayed behind bar showing the policy of the premises. Usually larger sizes are derivatives there of. Other spirts llike Bailys are normally sold as a double measure 70ml or 50ml)

In the U.K. for many years it was a 1/6 of a Gill, then it was 25 ml this was changed about four or five years ago to 35ml, This is for a single shot of spirits eg, Whisky Gin Etc,

25ml or multiples thereof. Or it is possible now to serve 35ml or multiples thereof Unless they are pre-packaged i.e. Screamers, Baby Guinness etc though even these should state how much they contain on the label. In all cases a Licensing Law Sign should be displayed on the bar to state which.

I think with most pubs in Scotland, it's 35ml for spirits (some only do a 25ml) and it's 50ml for liqueurs.

My local club use 35ml optics. The gill was a quarter of pint (5 fl oz), which was divided by 6, largely replaced with metric now.
