Wetherspoons pubs could face further price hikes due to 'ferocious' inflation rates
The low-cost pub chain has warned that they could be forced to take action if sales don't go to plan.JD Wetherspoon pubs could face further price rises next year due to "ferocious" inflation rates if sales don't perform.
Data analysis from earlier this week already shows that a number of Wetherspoon dishes have seen price rises as high as 18%, and now concerns amid inflation rates threaten to push this even higher. Wetherspoons products already impacted by the cost-of-living crisis include its chicken-tikka masala, which with an alcoholic drink, rose 8% from £9.70 to £10.43, and a pint of Guinness, which rose 7% from £2.99 to £3.21.Read more: What is the UK inflation rate and when will it come down?
