WETHERSPOONS is making a major change across its more than 800 pubs within days – and punters will be thrilled.<\/p>\n
One of the UK's biggest pub chains is slashing the price of food and drink on Thursday, September 14.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Customers will get a 7.5% discount for tax equality day, to mark a permanent VAT reduction in the hospitality industry.<\/p>\n
Prices are being reduced on all food and beverages in English, Welsh and Northern Ireland boozers.<\/p>\n
Punters in Scotland will only be able to get the reduction on food and non-alcoholic drinks.<\/p>\n
That means a customer spending \u00a310 on food and drink will pay \u00a39.25 instead, while someone forking out \u00a320 will pay \u00a318.50.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bear in mind, prices at Wetherspoons pubs vary across the UK, so you won't always get the same reduction.<\/p>\n
For example, a bottle of Corona beer costs \u00a33.95 at The Moon and Stars in Penge, South East London, meaning you'd pay just \u00a33.65 on Thursday.<\/p>\n
But the same drink sets you back \u00a33.51 at the Earl of Dalkeith in Kettering normally, meaning you'd pay in \u00a33.24 on Thursday.<\/p>\n

This is the full list of 32 pubs put up for sale:<\/p>\n The Widow Frost in Mansfield is closing within days while more than half a dozen of the chain's pubs closed in 2022, including the Running Horse in Doncaster Airport and The Willow Grove in Southport.<\/p>\n The Cliftonville in Hove and Sir John Maxwell in Glasgow closed in March.<\/p>\n Wetherspoons also recently axed plans to open half a dozen new pubs across the UK.<\/p>\n The chain purchased the sites with a view to opening new branches, but ditched the plans and instead put the sites up for sale.<\/p>\n Spoons, like plenty of retailers, has been hit hard by inflation which means consumers have less expendable cash.<\/p>\n Tim Martin, the chain's boss, also previously said more people drink in their homes rather than pubs now.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In other news, a Wetherspoons superfan revealed the best time to visit and save up to \u00a360 a year.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, inside the beautiful Wetherspoons that\u2019s the "best in the country".<\/p>\n Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?
