Official Statements
Tim Martin, founder and chairman of Wetherspoon, stated, “Department stores and shops hold their sales in January, so it is the perfect time to have a sale in the pub too. The range of drinks and food on sale in the pub is aimed at suiting a wide variety of tastes. I believe that the January sale will prove popular with customers. As always, staff at the pub will serve customers responsibly.”
Criticism & Opposition
While the January sale has been positively received by many customers, some critics have pointed out that the chain's previous adherence to government health regulations regarding sugary drinks had upset fans.
