Wetherspoon making 2 changes this week including cutting food and drink prices

On Thursday, September 18, Wetherspoon's pubs across the UK will reduce all food and drink prices by 7.5% for one day only.
This price cut aims to highlight the tax disparity where pubs and restaurants pay 20% VAT while supermarkets pay none on food sales.
Wetherspoon will also introduce a new menu item, the Spice Bag, in pubs across England, Scotland, and Wales starting Wednesday, September 17.
Tim Martin, the founder, highlighted that a major challenge facing pubs and the wider hospitality sector is the significant difference in how taxes are applied to pubs, restaurants, and supermarkets.
The price cut intends to demonstrate the benefits of a permanent VAT reduction to 12.5%, supporting pubs and hospitality to thrive and create jobs.
