In a TikTok video which has now gone viral, one Wetherspoons customer @brodie_bites_ said questioned if she was feeling the effects of the ‘cheap pints’ because she was so confused by the ‘bizarre’ prices.
She said: “Can someone please explain what on Earth has happened to Wetherspoons prices?

"The point of this video is because for the first time in ages we’ve been to Spoons and normally it’s like £1.29 for coleslaw, £10.59 for a burger and a drink - what the hell is this?
"£4.03 for soup, £5.54 for nachos - like what? £5.27 for a panini and a drink - what is actually going on?

Other Wetherspoons-goers commented on the video to say they had also experienced the increased prices.
One person said: “81p is such a random amount.” Another added: “Almost £15 for three sharing plates, I’m sure they were £10 last year,” and a third said, “They are really random prices for sides.”
