PUB operator JD Wetherspoon is launching its ‘Stay Out To Help Out’ scheme today (Tuesday, September 1) following on from the success of the government’s Eat Out to Help Out.

The scheme will see prices on a range of meals and drinks reduced from Monday to Wednesday until Wednesday, November 11, at Wetherspoon pubs in the UK including Reading.

Wetherspoon says its prices on some of the meals and drinks will be cheaper than those available in McDonald’s or Domino’s Pizza.

The meals on offer include an 11 inch Margherita pizza with soft drink for £3.99 and a classic six ounce beef burger (with chips) and soft drink for £3.99.

A traditional breakfast (fried egg, two rashers of bacon, two hash browns, baked beans, sausage, tomato and toast) will cost £2.99 and a small breakfast £2.49.

The pubs will also be offering three small plates for £7.50 as well as desserts at £1.99 and mini desserts at 99p.

Wetherspoon founder and chairman Tim Martin said: "The government’s Eat Out to Help Out scheme was extremely popular with our customers and a great boost to the hospitality industry.

"We are keen to offer our customers a superb choice of food and drink at great value for money prices.

"Our offer means that a classic beef burger in our pubs will be even better value than McDonald’s.

"The classic burger in Wetherspoon is £3.99 versus McDonald’s Big Mac medium meal (comprising Big Mac two 1.6 ounce beef patties, medium fries, medium Coca-Cola Zero Sugar) which costs £4.59.

"In addition cappuccino in our pubs will be 50p cheaper than McDonald’s and our customers can have free refills too.
