Since January, the price of drinks have gone up by 15p and meal deals by 30p.
The hike will see the cost of a Guinness at The London and South Western branch in South-West London go from £4.66 to £4.81, while the cost of a Strongbow will increase from £3.24 to £3.39.
Kopperberg draught is rising from £3.21 to £3.36 and Hooch from £3.63 to £3.78.
The average price of a meal deal at Spoons without an alcoholic drink is £4.99 and with a drink it is £6.52.
A 30p rise means they will now cost £5.29 and £6.82, respectively.
The announcement from Wetherspoons comes just months after Mr Martin warned the pub chain may hike prices following the Government’s Autumn Budget.
From April, employer National Insurance Contributions (NICs) will be hiked from 13.8% to 15% and the threshold at which businesses pay them is being lowered from £9,100 to £5,000.
How can I save money at Wetherspoons?
PUB-GOERS love Wetherspoons for its competitive pricing and low-cost meals - but did you know there are more ways to save money?
Senior consumer reporter Olivia Marshall explains how.
Free refills– Buy a £1.50 tea, coffee or hot chocolate and you can get free refills. The deal is available all day, every day.
Check a map – Prices can vary from one location the next, even those close to each other.
So if you’re planning a pint at a Spoons, it’s worth popping in nearby pubs to see if you’re settling in at the cheapest.
Choose your day – Each night the pub chain runs certain food theme nights.
For instance, every Thursday night is curry club, where diners can get a main meal and a drink for a set price cheaper than usual.
Pick-up vouchers – Students can often pick up voucher books in
their local near universities, which offer discounts on food and drink, so keep your eyes peeled.
Get appy – The Wetherspoons app allows you to order and pay for your drink and food from your table – but you don’t need to be in the pub to use it.
Taking full advantage of this, cheeky customers have used social media to ask their friends and family to order them drinks. The app is free to download on the App Store or Google Play.
Check the date – Every year, Spoons holds its Tax Equality Day to highlight the benefits of a permanently reduced tax bill for the pub industry.
It usually takes place in September, and last year it fell on Thursday, September 14.
As well as its 12-day Real Ale Festival every Autumn, Wetherspoons also holds a Spring Festival.
