Pub giant Wetherspoons has kicked off the new year with a dramatic price cut, launching a major sale that will see pints sold for under a pound and meals for less than a fiver.
The limited-time promotion, which began on January 2, 2026, is now active at around 600 of the chain's pubs across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Scottish branches will join the sale a day later, from January 3. All the bargain offers are set to conclude on January 15.
What's Included in the Wetherspoons Sale?
Drinkers can raise a glass to some of the cheapest pub prices seen in years. The headline offer is a pint of Worthington’s beer for just 99p. Wine lovers are also catered for, with a 250ml glass of Coldwater Creek wine priced at £2.99.
For those opting for an alcohol-free alternative, a selection of zero-alcohol drinks, including Guinness 0.0, Corona Cero, and Brewdog Punk AF, are available for £1.69 each.
Budget-Friendly Food Options
The savings extend to the food menu, with several classic dishes available for under £5 when paired with a soft drink. Customers can enjoy an 11-inch Margherita pizza or a Crunchy Chicken Burger with chips or a side salad for just £4.99.
Adding an alcoholic drink to these meal deals increases the total price to £6.42.
Jacket potato fans have not been forgotten. A standard jacket with one filling, such as cheese, tuna mayo, or chilli, costs £4.99 with a soft drink. Three new gourmet jacket potato options are also part of the sale, priced from £6.49 with a soft drink.
Important Details for Customers
While this nationwide sale represents a significant discount, Wetherspoons has cautioned that final pricing may still vary slightly between individual pubs. The company advises patrons to check with their local branch for confirmation to avoid any unexpected costs.
This aggressive pricing strategy is a clear bid to attract customers during the traditionally quiet post-Christmas period, offering substantial savings on both food and drink for a limited two-week window.
