Wetherspoons announces huge January sale with pints from just £1.99

Now that's what we call a bargain.

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson - 29th December 2023

Wetherspoons has announced the details of its January offer as it prepares to slash prices in the new year. 

The British pub group will be selling pints of beer for as little as £1.99, alongside deals on cocktails, coffee and food too. 

Wetherspoons’ January sale will run for two weeks only from 2 January. 

It means that punters will be able to get food and drink at their local Spoons for even less than normal (and it’s not exactly an expensive pub at the best of times).

Wetherspoons will be selling pints of Bud Light and Doom Bar for £1.99, while their ‘classic cocktails’ (espresso martini, Tommy’s margarita, strawberry daiquiri) will be just £2.99.

You’ll be able to buy a bottle of non-alcoholic Beck’s Blue for £1.49, and refillable Lavazza coffee, tea and hot chocolate for £1.29.

A bit low on cash after Christmas? How does a full English for less than £2 sound?

Wetherspoons’ small breakfast, which comes with a fried egg, bacon, sausage, baked beans and toast, will be just £1.99 during their January sale.

A selection of burgers will be reduced to less than a fiver with a soft drink, or £6.49 with an alcoholic drink.

“I believe that the January Sale will prove popular with our customers. As always, staff at the pubs will serve customers responsibly.”
