Wetherspoon, a popular pub chain, is set to slash prices across its UK establishments for one day only. On Thursday, 12 September, customers can enjoy a 7.5% discount on all food and drinks at most Wetherspoon pubs nationwide. The offer is available at all participating pubs (excluding those at airports and Haven holiday parks) during opening hours. There is no need for a voucher or code to access the discount, as it will be automatically applied at the bar or through the Wetherspoon app.
However, in Scotland, the discount will not apply to alcohol purchases. Even if the menu items display their regular prices, customers will receive the 7.5% reduction when settling their bill. For example, a £10 order would only cost £9.25 with the discount. Meal deals, such as the Thursday ‘Curry Club’, are also included in the promotion.
It’s important to bear in mind that prices can vary between Wetherspoon pubs across the UK. To find the nearest participating pub, customers can use the locator tool on the Wetherspoon website or app. Founder and chairman of Wetherspoon’s, Tim Martin, underscored the challenges faced by the hospitality sector due to tax disparities.
He emphasised the need for a VAT reduction to create tax equality between pubs, bars, restaurants, and supermarkets. The aim is to ensure that hospitality businesses can thrive, invest, and generate employment opportunities. Martin urged the chancellor to implement a VAT cut to 12.5% to support the industry.
Wetherspoon previously ran a similar campaign in 2023, slashing prices by 7.5% to illustrate the impact of a potential VAT reduction. The one-day discount event on 12 September aims to highlight the positive effects of such a tax adjustment. Customers are encouraged to take advantage of the reduced prices on food and drinks at Wetherspoon pubs for this limited time offer.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to enjoy discounted prices at your nearest Wetherspoon pub for a day of savings and good times.
