With the government's Eat Out to Help Out scheme drawing to a close today, J.D. Wetherspoon has announced it will be slashing prices on a range of food and drinks until November.

The new prices kick off tomorrow (1 September) and, much like the Eat Out to Help Out scheme, will run Monday to Wednesday until 11 November.

The 'Stay Out to Help Out' scheme will include offers on pizzas, burgers and breakfasts as well as mini desserts for just 99p. Tea, coffee and soft drinks will also be on sale for 99p - alcoholic drinks are not included in the offers.

From tomorrow, diners can enjoy a 11-inch Margherita pizza with a soft drink for just £3.99, a traditional breakfast for £2.99 or three small plates - including nachos, chicken wings and mini pizzas - for £7.50.

Wetherspoon boss 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.

"Our prices are also lower than Domino's Pizza for an 11-inch pizza.

"The 11- inch Margherita pizza and soft drink is £3.99 at Wetherspoon versus Domino's Pizza two topping 11.5-inch pizza deal (no drink) at £5.99.

"A Domino's Pizza Mighty Meaty 11.5-inch pizza meal deal costs £9.99 (no drink) compared to the Wetherspoon Spicy Meat Feast at £5.99 (including soft drink), a saving of £4."

A LADbible poll from earlier this month found overwhelming support for the Eat Out to Help Out scheme to be extended into September, with a whopping 79.9 percent of the 16,721 people who took part voting for it to be continued.

The scheme gave diners 50 percent off their meals up to £10 a head from Monday to Wednesday each week in August at participating restaurants. If you haven't taken advantage of it yet, today is your last chance.
