Wetherspoons customers have been left baffled after the pub giant hiked its food and drink prices, with some staple menu items rising by more than £3 - but did you notice?
Pints of beer have seen price rices across the board, including Carlsberg (from £2.39 to £2.57), Stella (from £3.35 to £3.60) and Leffe (from £3.85 to £4.14).
The price rises are particularly pronounced in London chains - where prices are higher anyway - including the Moon Under the Water pub in Leicester Square.
Here, you will pay £6.55 for a pint of San Miguel, Corona and BrewDog's IPA.
Food price have also increased. An All-Day Brunch used to set you back £5.79, but will now cost you £8.92.

A spokesperson for Wetherspoons acknowledged its price hikes, putting it down to "big price increases" in the pub industry.
"Wetherspoon has increased prices on food and drink by 7.5 per cent," the chain told The Sun.
"We believe that our prices are still very competitive in all the locations that we trade, even after the increase.
"Most businesses in the hospitality industry have had to deal with big price increases in the past year or two.
"We have tried to keep our prices competitive, bearing in mind that customers have suffered from inflation too.
"The 7.5 per cent increase is less than the rate of inflation."
