Why is Wetherspoon beer cheaper than other pubs?

In the autumn edition of their magazine Wetherspoon News, a report quoted a spokesman for the pub chain who cited factors including hours of operation that enabled a cheaper price point.

The article by Melissa Sogodo said opening hours play a part in the pub chain being able to sell at such a cheap price, and that competitive prices are achieved by "accepting a lower operating margin than most companies."

A Wetherspoon spokesperson is reported to have said: "Wetherspoon also opens for longer hours than most pubs (e.g. the pubs open for breakfast) and sell food for prolonged periods – normally until 11pm.

"High sales of a wide range of products and long-term relationships with suppliers are some of the key factors."
