Wetherspoons regulars could soon find themselves paying more for a pint, after the company warned it was facing “considerable” cost pressures that may force it to raise its prices in the coming months.
The cost-of-living crisis is hitting millions of UK households hard, and Wetherspoons says that it too is feeling the strain. Despite this, the business told shareholders that its sales were improving and that it expected to break even this year.
Its warning about potential price hikes comes after the company - which runs more than 800 pubs across the UK and Ireland - was forced to close 14 outlets since the start of the financial year. But how much are Wetherspoons prices likely to rise by?
