Academics have said pubs should serve beer in two-third pint measures
Wetherspoon's chief Tim Martin has lambasted the "slightly daft" suggestions by academics to serve beer in two-third pint measures, urging a halt on new regulations for the already struggling pub industry.
The outspoken founder described such an idea as "slightly daft," arguing that the experience in Australia with schooners doesn't correlate with a significant drop in alcohol consumption. Additionally, Mr Martin criticised reports that the Government might slash pub and hospitality sector operational hours. Labour officials, however, have refuted any claims suggesting trading hours will be cut.Wetherspoon has reported a 73.5% increase in pre-tax profits to £73.9 million for the year ending July 28, compared to the previous year. This marks a continued recovery for the pub company, although profits remain below pre-pandemic levels.
