Punters at Wetherspoons’ newly opened pub in Spain may find themselves paying higher prices compared to their local establishments. Although the menu items and beverages still offer reasonable value, they tend to be priced slightly above what customers might expect at the chain’s regular high street locations.

The rationale provided by company executives is that operating costs in airport settings are higher, leading to the increased prices. They highlight that the pricing at the Spanish pub is in line with what is charged at their other airport and railway station venues in the UK.

For instance, a substantial breakfast at the Spanish pub costs 10.25 euros (£8.84), whereas the same meal averages around £5.09 in the UK.

In a comparison conducted by the Mirror, prices at the Wetherspoons in Alicante were matched against those at the Solihull pub in the West Midlands and the Gatwick Airport outlet. It’s worth noting that some items may vary in terms of portion size and ingredients, adding complexity to the comparison.

Here are a few examples of the items analyzed:

– Margherita pizza
– All-day brunch
– Classic burger
– Chicken, eggs, and beans
– Pint of Stella Artois
– Asahi beer
– Pint of Greene King Abbot Ale
– Guinness 0.0
– Coca Cola/Pepsi (398ml)
