Wetherspoons to hike the price of popular menu items in all pubs from today

WETHERSPOONS is hiking the price of the majority of menu items in all its UK pubs from today. It means the price of drinks have gone up by 15p and meal deals by 30p. The hike will see the cost of a Guinness at The London and South Western branch in South-West London go from £4.66 to £4.81, while the cost of a Strongbow will increase from £3.24 to £3.39.

Kopperberg draught is rising from £3.21 to £3.36 and Hooch from £3.63 to £3.78. The average price of a meal deal at Spoons without an alcoholic drink is £4.99 and with a drink it is £6.52. A 30p rise means they will now cost £5.29 and £6.82, respectively.
Spoons said a number of drinks will not go up in price, including all draught lagers such as Budweiser, Carling and Coors. The pub chain said any price hikes will be put in place UK-wide, but not at its seven Republic of Ireland boozers. It’s worth bearing in mind, prices vary across Wetherspoons pubs so any hikes could be different depending on the branch you visit.
It is the second time in less than a year Spoons has bumped up prices, with the chain hiking them across some of its UK airport branches last July. Boss Tim Martin said: "Wetherspoon has always tried to remain as competitive as possible. We hope that our prices will still be reasonable in spite of these increases.’’.
The announcement from Wetherspoons comes just months after Mr Martin warned the pub chain may hike prices following the Government’s Autumn Budget. From April, employer National Insurance Contributions (NICs) will be hiked from 13.8% to 15% and the threshold at which businesses pay them is being lowered from £9,100 to £5,000.
