September 20 could your lucky day, as the chain is offering a 7.5% discount on everything.
For example, a meal and a drink costing £10 would be £9.25 on Wednesday – a saving of £3 if you went to eat as a group of four.
The pub is doing it to support Tax Equality Day, organised by the hospitality industry in protest at what they see as unfair pricing advantages for supermarkets.
At the moment, food and drink in pubs is subject to 20 per cent VAT, whereas no VAT is charged for food sold in supermarkets.
Hmm I'd say "Inequality" is a bit of a strong word for this. There's a difference between going into a pub and buying a slap up meal with all the extras, and going into Aldi to buy porridge and potatoes to feed your starving kids. :thinking:
Pubs should concentrate more on campaigning to reverse the recent business rate hikes which could mean even more locals shutting.
