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.

Wetherspoon founder and chairman Tim Martin said: “Department stores and shops hold their sales in January, so it is the perfect time to have a sale in the pubs too.
“The range of drinks and food on sale in the pubs is aimed at suiting a wide variety of tastes. This year we have included our biggest selection of low and non-alcoholic drinks.
“I believe that the January Sale will prove popular with our customers. As always, staff at the pubs will serve customers responsibly.”

Co-founder Sam Grainger, inspired by countless trips to Mexico, says: “Mexico is alive with passionate artisans and cooks, mastering everything from street tacos to regional delicacies. It’s a world where traditions blend and evolve and we’ve built that ethos into the heart of both Madre and Salon Madre.”
Madre Leeds will open soon and you can even grab yourself a free margarita by signing up to their newsletter here.
We’ll keep you up to date with their opening times but for now, we'll see you at Salon Madre for a boogie, margarita and game of pool next week.
Award-winning Leeds restaurant announces shock closure just months after opening
Clementine Hall
Emba in Leeds will be closing its doors with the owner blaming rising costs and pressure on the hospitality sector.
Back in April last year, one of Leeds' top restaurants The Owl closed its doors.
Run by renowned Chef Liz Cottam, The Owl was reimagine into Emba - a trendy restaurant tat bridged 'the gap between cosy bar and vibrant dining room'.
To open Emba, Cottam opened a Crowdfunder where supporters would be awarded with prizes such as VIP dinners and merch depending on how much they donated.
But sadly just months after opening, Emba is to close permanently.
Cottam confirmed the sad news with a statement shared with customers over the weekend, saying she was completely "heartbroken".
She said: “This is no longer the right time to own independent restaurants like Emba,” she said. “Under the current conditions they cannot survive and the recent budget confirmed what so many of us already knew: no meaningful help is coming for hospitality.
"The experience of being here and the harsh financial reality of running a business here no longer stack up.
"Being award winning, popular, admired and loved no longer means profitable and as an industry if we’re honest most of us have not truly been okay since Covid."
She signed off the statement promising to return to the restaurant world, she said: “What I do know is this, I am not done. I will keep cooking, keep creating and keep finding ways to do the thing I love.”
