(Picture: PA Archive)Wetherspoonpubs are set to cut prices of food and drink for one day only on Thursday as the company seeks to build popular support to reduce the tax burden for the hospitality sector.
Prices across the firm’s UK pubs will drop by 7.5% across the company’s 851 UK pubs, to highlight the benefits of a permanent cut in VAT for hospitality firms. The price drop represents a saving of just over £2 for a £27 spend in one of its pubs, or the equivalent of about 30p off a pint in one of its central London locations.
