The new costs have left some skint drinkers devastated, with one TikTokker sharing her confusion in a video that has since gone viral.

The social media user @brodie_bites_ blasted her experience in Glasgow, saying: “Can someone please explain what on Earth has happened to Wetherspoons prices?

“Normally it’s like £1.29 for coleslaw, £10.59 for a burger and a drink – what the hell is this?

£5.27 for a panini and a drink – what is actually going on?”

She went on to lambast the “bizarre” pricing saying she “didn’t understand it”.

But there is a simple reason for the unusual pricing at Britain’s best-loved bargain boozer chain.

Back in February, The Sun revealed the chain – which has 843 pubs across the UK and Ireland – had hiked beer and food prices by 7.5 percent.

The increase saw 29p slapped on the price of a pint and 75p on meal deals at the chain’s Oxted Inn branch in Surrey when The Sun visited.

Favourite tipples are all up seven per cent with a pint of Carlsberg up from £2.39 to £2.57, Stella from £3.35 to £3.60 and Leffe from £3.85 to £4.14.

It comes amid soaring costs but price increases do vary from pub to pub.

Nowhere else was this price change more stark than in Spoons’ Moon Under the Water in London’s Leicester Square.

There, beer lovers are drinking in an eye-watering £6.85 for a pint of Belgian abbey style beer, Leffe Blonde

The pricey outlet close to London’s theatre district also charges a whopping £6.55 for a pint of San Miguel, Corona and BrewDog IPA.

Following The Sun’s bank-busting booze price discoveries, Wetherspoon spokesman Eddie Gershon said: “Wetherspoon has increased prices on food and drink by 7.5 per cent.

 “We believe that our prices are still very competitive in all the locations that we trade,  even after the increase.

 “Most businesses in the hospitality industry have had to deal with big price increases in the past year or two.

 “We have tried to keep our prices competitive, bearing in mind that customers have suffered from inflation too.

 “The 7.5 per cent increase is less than the rate of inflation.”
