A string of pubs across north and west Cumbria have cut prices in a bid to help what’s generally the most difficult month of the year.
Wetherspoon bars in Carlisle and west Cumbria - The Woodrow Wilson and The William Rufus, both in Botchergate, Carlisle, as well as The Bransty Arch in Bransty Row, Whitehaven, The Henry Bessemer in New Oxford Street, Workington and The Chief Justice of the Common Pleas in Bank Street, Keswick - are having a sale this month.
Managers slashed the price on a range of drinks from today until January 17 inclusive. Prices are set to drop by around 10p each. Pubs are traditionally quieter after the festive surge.
The drinks featured in the sale are; a craft beer (Shipyard), one lager (Coors Light), two ciders (Strongbow Dark Fruit and Magners), Guinness, a guest ale, a selection of wines including three from Coldwater Creek (red, white and rose), three spirits; Gordon’s gin, Gordon’s pink gin and Smirnoff vodka (all inclusive of a mixer), six soft drinks; Old Jamaica Ginger Beer, ting (grapefruit crush), Pepsi Max, R Whites Lemonade, diet Pepsi and San Pellegrino (lemon and blood orange), as well as cocktail pitchers.
The Woodrow Wilson manager Andrew Hetherington, said: “Department stores and shops hold their sales in January, so it is the perfect time to have a sale in the pub too. Staff will serve customers responsibly.”
