Pub giant JD Wetherspoon has launched its January sale at more than 600 of its venues across the UK, including a seriously cheap 99p pint of Worthington’s beer.
For those not taking part in dry January, it’s a very value for money tipple at a time we’re all feeling the financial pinch after Christmas. Other offers currently on at Spoons include 250ml glasses of Coldwater Creek wine (Chardonnay, pinot grigio, rosé and merlot) for £2.99, Johnnie Walker Black Label and Tanqueray gin for £1.99.
Dry January is the term which describes the recent phenomenon in which Brits give up drinking for the entireity of January following their Christmas excesses, and for those who are sticking to dry January despite the temptation of 99p beer, various alcohol free drinks including Guinness 0.0, Corona Cero and Stella Artois Gluten Free, Thatchers Zero, Kopparberg Alcohol Free are £1.69 each in the Wetherspoon sale too.
Customers can also take up savings on food, with an 11″ Margherita pizza and a crunchy chicken burger served with chips or side salad each costing £4.99 (with soft drink) and £6.52 (with alcoholic drink).
The offers are on at more than 600 Spoons pubs, but prices at 200 other branches ‘may vary’.
The sale began on Friday, January 2 and will run until and including Thursday, January 15.
Wetherspoon’s founder and chairman, Tim Martin, said: “Department stores and shops hold their sales in January, so it is the perfect time to also have a sale in the pubs.
“The range of food and drinks on sale in the pub is aimed at suiting a wide variety of tastes.
“We have included a large selection of low-alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks.
“I believe that the January sale will prove popular with customers.
“As always, staff at the pub will serve customers responsibly.”
