Why is Wetherspoons closing some of its pubs?
Pub chains and hospitality businesses have been hit hard by rising costs brought on by high inflation.
Wetherspoons' boss Tim Martin also said far more people now drink in their homes rather than in pubs.
Pubs have been knocked by rising costs as inflation sends prices soaring and less demand among cash-strapped punters.
How can I save money at Wetherspoons?
Having your trusty Wetherspoon app means you can cash-in on all the latest deals and discounts at your local.
It's free to download, and even lets you order at the table.
Wetherspoon offers discounted dinners as part of its Steak and Curry Clubs.
It's worth joining in the craze as you can get something like a gourmet steak and a beer over a pound cheaper than normal.
You used to be able to order the menus only on certain days of the week but Wetherspoon made the dishes available everyday in June 2022.
