Wetherspoons has hiked its prices across a range of popular drinks and food items.
The chain has increased prices by around 7.5%, pushing up the price of a pint by 29p, while food items have seen an increase of 75p.
Wetherspoons hinted at the possibility of price rises during an update to investors in January, and it’s the second time in a few months that the chain has increased its prices.
Pubs in central London saw prices of guest ale increase by 29% in November.
The latest price rise was reported by The Sun after visiting the Oxted Inn Wetherspoons in Surrey, though prices currently vary across the UK.
Asked about the latest increase, a Wetherspoon spokesman told The Sun: “Most businesses in the hospitality industry have had to deal with big price increases in the past year or two.
“We have tried to keep our prices competitive, bearing in mind that customers have suffered from inflation too."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
