Fans of Wetherspoons could be forced to pay more, with further price hikes coming in to compensate for the rising cost of energy, food and labour, said Wetherspoons boss Tim Martin.
He added that the pub chain, which runs 800 bars across the UK and Ireland, is expected to break even this year.
The budget-pub was hit hard by the pandemic when lockdown restrictions forced it to close for months, alongside the rest of the hospitality industry.
