In England, you don't tip in pubs and 10 - 15% in restaurants. I only tip 15% when the service justifies it.
Drinking is a national sport here and if you tipped every time you bought you'd be broke.
The only time you see tipping is in a trendy pub and if you do, then you do it to guarantee prompt service next time.
The bartenders get paid to work. It's their job to serve you. The tip isn't customary, it's there to get them to do their job quicker.
That's the general view over here.
