You can't walk down a high street in Britain without passing a Wetherspoon pub.

It's hard to argue you don't get value for money on your food or drink when you venture to your local.

But for one day only this month the budget chain will be reducing prices at pubs across Essex.

This is in aid of the business backing Tax Equality Day, which aims to highlight the benefits of a VAT reduction in the hospitality industry, reports Kent Live.

Prices at Wetherspoon's pubs will be reduced by 7.5 per cent on Wednesday, September 20, to show what can be gained by reducing VAT.



So a customer who heads to their local 'Spoons' on September 20 may notice the price of their order is lower than normal.

It is thought that the reduction in the level of VAT on a long-term basis would generate growth and create jobs in the leisure and hospitality sector.
