Wetherspoons increases prices of drinks in pubs as cost of living soars

Prices of drinks in Wetherspoon have increased by around 10p or 20p across the country, the pub chain has confirmed.

This is about a two per cent increase in the UK (10p) - and a four per cent increase (20p) in London.

The prices went up at the beginning of the month.

A Wetherspoons spokesperson told Somerset Live : "Occasionally Wetherspoon does increase the price of its drinks. We always aim to keep our prices as competitive as possible.

"Prices on drinks in the majority of our pubs have increased by an average 10p from Tuesday March 1, with an increase of 20p in pubs in and around London.

"This represents an average two per cent increase in the majority of Wetherspoon pubs and four per cent in pubs in and around London.

"We believe that our drinks offer still represents great value-for-money."

One drinker who visited The Powder Monkey in Devon reported seeing the price of Ruddles increase from 99p to £1.49, DevonLive reports.

They said: "I went in on Monday night with £2 in cash expecting to buy a couple of cheeky Ruddles before meeting my wife when she finished her exercise class, but when I get there, I discovered the prices appeared to have all gone up.

"It is still cheaper than anywhere else around, but it did mean I had to get my card out for the second pint. It didn't ruin my evening, but it was something I wasn't expecting."
