Only if they have a three quarter pint glass or a measuring cup like they have for serving wine by the glass.
Some pubs sell a two-third pint for stronger beers (not sure if this is a schooner?).

 

[Hammi]

Just get a half?

Specified quantities
Some goods must be sold in fixed sizes known as ‘specified quantities’.

Alcohol
There are different rules depending on whether you’re selling by the glass or bottle.

By the glass

Measures

Still wine
125ml, 175ml, multiples of 125ml and 175ml

Port, sherry or other fortified wine
50ml, 70ml, multiples of 50ml or 70ml

Gin, rum, vodka and whisky
Either 25ml and multiples of 25ml, or 35ml and multiples of 35ml (not both on the same premises)

Draught beer and cider
Third, half, two-thirds of a pint and multiples of half a pint

There are no specified quantities for sparkling wine or yellow wine by the glass or spirits other than gin, rum, vodka and whisky.

 

[Andy.P]

Aye. Some pubs sell two-thirds. But most places you’d be stuck with a half. That’s not to say the 2/3 would actually be 2/3 of the price of a pint. But nowhere does 3/4, unless your pally with the bar staff perhaps.

It's the opposite in my local. A pint is £4.75 and I give them £5 and tell them to keep the change.

 

[Murky]

I would imagine you would probably get told no because "we don't have a button on the till for that"
