Wetherspoons to make a huge change to some 800 pubs in just days with punters set to be delighted

Wetherspoons are set to make a huge change to around 800 pubs tomorrow (Thursday, September 14) - and it will make pub goers very happy. The popular pub chain is to slash the price of their food and drink.

Customers who visit Wetherspoons on this day will get a 7.5% discount for tax equality day. This is to mark a permanent VAT reduction in the hospitality industry. Prices are being reduced on all food and beverages in English, Welsh and Northern Ireland locations.

However, people in Scotland will only be able to get the reduction on food and non-alcoholic drinks. If you people spent £10, they will only have to pay £9.25, and if you fork out £20, you will only shell out £18.50.

This reduction will not be the same at all Wetherspoons, as prices differ by region. For example, a bottle of Corona beer costs £3.95 at The Moon and Stars in Penge, South East London, meaning you’d pay just £3.65 on Thursday.

The same drink at the Earl of Dalkeith in Kettering is usually around £3.50, meaning that will be around £3.25 on Thursday. To find a Wetherspoons near you can use the locator tool on their website.

This comes as Wetherspoons closes a number of its branches, with 32 put up for sale last September. It’s amid a bad time for the high street, with popular chain Wilkinsons shutting many of its locations.
