Reduced prices will be available at 660 Wetherspoon pubs
They will go up slightly, but they’ll still be cheaper than current prices. Prices vary depending on where you live.
As pubs face rising inflation, pressures in supply chains, and staff shortages, this is a good time to be able to speak out.
While they were given a boost by Rishi Sunak’s reduction in beer duty of five percent last month, MailOnline received warnings from landlords that pints could still become more costly in large numbers of cases.
MailOnline spoke to Tim Martin, Wetherspoon’s chairman. He said that any savings would be passed on to the drinkers when duty is reduced in 2023. The smaller pubs, however, claimed that it would be very similar to their previous experience.
Dawn Hopkins, the Rose Inn owner in Norwich and Vice Chair of Campaign for Pubs stated: “There is no way that this will result in a change of prices across the bar.
“Prices are rising and changes will not come in until 2023.” The law also exempts small kegs, which discriminates against craft beer producers.
Peter Tiley of the Salutation Inn is in Ham, Gloucestershire.
He said, “It’s wishful thinking for the price of an alcoholic drink to drop given the immense pressure on pubs at the moment.”
Rishi sunak stated in his Budget that an increase to duty on spirits lower than wine, cider, beer, and other beverages will not be implemented. However, the 28% duty on sparkling wines such as prosecco and fruit ciders will remain.
Bailey’s, Gordon’s gin (41p per bottle), Canti prosecco (9p each can) will all see their taxes decrease. In shops, the tax on Stella and Carling beers will not change but it will drop by 3p in pubs.
But other beverages will see increases, including Cockburn’s port (£1.09 per bottle), Hardy’s merlot (35p per bottle) and Scottish favourite Buckfast (81p per bottle). The retailers may pass savings along, but it remains to be determined.
MailOnline understood that the Treasury was open to changing the policy and that there were kegs 40l or larger.
Boris Johnson and Tim Martin, Wetherspoon’s boss, said they were fantastic deals.
The Bank of England warned that inflation could reach 5% next year.
Tim Martin (chairman of Wetherspoon) stated that today’s offer offers great value and a variety of dishes, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
It follows our November decision to reduce prices for a variety of beverages.
‘Wetherspoon is known for giving its customers value-for-money-prices on food and drink at all times and our new pricing means that they will be able to enjoy even better value meals through to the end of February 2022.’
