Wetherspoons drinks menu and prices
The Wetherspoons drinks menu covers 15 listed choices, with typical prices from £1.49 to £4.49 and 15 carrying vegetarian or vegan tags. It is one section of the full Spoons menu, and each pub sets its own prices. It brings together traditional bitter, lager, stout, cider, wine, spirits, soft drinks and Lavazza coffee, so choosing well starts with the style of drink you want rather than price alone. This independent guide explains the differences and flags what to check before ordering. Prices are typical rather than fixed because each pub sets its own, and availability needs checking locally.

Pint of Doom Bar
An exceptionally popular and highly regarded amber ale hailing from Cornwall, known for its incredible consistency and drinkability.

A premium, internationally renowned Belgian-style lager that delivers a crisp, highly refreshing drinking experience. Pouring a bright, pale golden colour with a thick white head, it offers a clean, sophisticated flavour profile with subtle floral hop aromas and a gentle, malty sweetness, finishing with a satisfying, crisp bitterness.

This sharp, bright lager pairs exceptionally well with our battered cod and chips or spicy chicken dishes, cutting through the richness beautifully. It is a steadfast, high-quality choice for lager enthusiasts.
Pint of Guinness
The iconic, globally celebrated Irish dry stout, famous for its mesmerising cascade and dense, creamy white head. Pouring a deep, ruby-black hue, it offers a highly complex flavour profile featuring prominent notes of roasted barley, dark chocolate, and a distinct espresso-like bitterness, all balanced by a smooth, velvety texture. Served perfectly chilled on draft, the unique nitrogen surge creates a luxuriously soft mouthfeel. This robust stout is a phenomenal pairing for our deeply savoury beef madras or a rich chocolate fudge cake. It is the ultimate choice for those seeking a dark, highly comforting pint.
Pint of Thatchers Gold
A brilliantly refreshing, medium-dry Somerset cider that perfectly captures the essence of English orchards.

It offers a well-rounded, medium-bodied flavour profile with gentle notes of roasted nuts and a subtle, naturally sweet undertone, completely devoid of any harsh bitterness.

This clean, warming coffee is the ultimate companion to a traditional or vegan breakfast, providing a gentle, highly satisfying caffeine boost. It is a steadfast choice for early mornings or relaxed afternoon reading sessions.
Lavazza Cappuccino
A rich, highly satisfying, and beautifully textured Italian classic. This drink features a robust shot of premium Lavazza espresso, which provides a deep, complex coffee base, topped generously with velvety steamed milk and a thick, luxurious cap of airy milk foam. A light dusting of chocolate powder adds a gentle sweetness. The contrast between the intense espresso and the sweet, creamy milk creates a wonderfully balanced flavour profile. Served steaming hot, it is an excellent choice for a mid-morning treat or as a comforting digestif after a large meal, pairing perfectly with a mini brownie.
Smirnoff Red Vodka & Mixer
A clean, crisp, and highly versatile classic spirit and mixer combination. Featuring a precise single measure of the world-renowned Smirnoff Red label vodka, which provides a remarkably smooth, neutral spirit base. You have the freedom to pair it with your choice of draft mixer, such as cola or lemonade, served over a generous handful of ice. The flavour profile is highly refreshing and entirely dependent on your chosen mixer, making it an incredibly adaptable drink. It is a fantastic, fuss-free choice for a lively evening out or a relaxed weekend drink, offering clean and simple refreshment.
Gordon’s Gin & Tonic
The quintessential British mixed drink, offering a highly sophisticated and deeply refreshing botanical experience. This classic features a single measure of Gordon’s London Dry gin, renowned for its bold, piney juniper notes and subtle hints of coriander and citrus. It is served over plenty of ice and topped with a premium bottle of crisp, slightly bitter tonic water, garnished with a fresh slice of lemon or lime. The sharp, clean flavour profile makes it an exceptional palate cleanser, pairing brilliantly with lighter dishes like the prawn cocktail. It is a timeless, elegant choice for any occasion.
Coldwater Creek Pinot Grigio (175ml)
A delightfully crisp, dry, and highly refreshing white wine that is incredibly easy to drink. Pouring a pale straw colour, it offers a bright, zesty flavour profile with subtle notes of green apple, juicy pear, and a hint of sharp citrus.

This light, elegant wine is an absolutely perfect pairing for our freshly battered cod or a vibrant side salad, cutting through any richness beautifully. It is a fantastic choice for a warm afternoon or a light evening meal.
Coldwater Creek Merlot (175ml)
A wonderfully smooth, approachable, and highly comforting red wine that boasts a deeply fruity character. Pouring a rich ruby red, it delivers a soft, velvety flavour profile packed with notes of ripe dark plums, sweet black cherries, and a subtle hint of warming spice. Served at a pleasant room temperature in a 175ml glass, its low tannins ensure a highly drinkable, mellow finish. This versatile red wine pairs exceptionally well with our classic 6oz beef burger or a hearty bowl of beef madras, complementing the savoury meats perfectly. A brilliant choice for a cosy evening.
Kopparberg Mixed Fruit
A massively popular, premium Swedish cider that offers an incredibly sweet and vibrant fruity experience. Pouring a deep, bright reddish-purple, it is bursting with the intense, juicy flavours of ripe blackcurrants and sweet raspberries, effectively masking any sharp apple notes. It must be served heavily chilled over a mountain of ice to ensure maximum refreshment and to balance the profound sweetness. This highly refreshing, candy-like cider is a fantastic standalone drink for a sunny pub garden, or pairs well with light, salty snacks. It is the ultimate choice for those with a serious sweet tooth.
J2O Orange & Passion Fruit
A phenomenally popular, highly refreshing, and completely non-carbonated fruit juice blend. It boasts a vibrant orange hue and delivers a wonderfully thick, smooth texture.

What is on the Wetherspoons drinks menu
What is on the Wetherspoons drinks menu?
The Wetherspoons drinks menu spans alcoholic, non-alcoholic and hot drinks, with clear differences between the named beer styles. Ruddles Best is an English bitter with toasted malt character, while Doom Bar is an amber ale with a slightly sweet, roasted-malt profile. Stella Artois offers a crisp Belgian-style lager alternative. Guinness takes a different direction again: an Irish dry stout with roasted barley and dark chocolate notes.
Cider drinkers can compare medium-dry Thatchers Gold with the sweeter blackcurrant and raspberry character of Kopparberg Mixed Fruit. The wider section description also mentions craft beers, but no specific craft beer is named in this listing. Ask the pub about its current selection rather than assuming a particular label will be available.
Wetherspoons drink sizes and serving formats
The listed drinks use several serving formats, so compare the serving as well as the typical price. Ruddles Best, Doom Bar, Stella Artois, Guinness and Thatchers Gold are listed as pints. Diet Coke is also listed as a pint, whereas Pepsi Max is described as large. Those descriptions do not establish that every soft drink comes in the same glass size.
Smirnoff Red Vodka & Mixer and Gordon’s Gin & Tonic are described as single-measure drinks. Coldwater Creek Pinot Grigio and Coldwater Creek Merlot are listed by a specified glass measure, rather than as bottles. Check that measure on the local menu. Lavazza Filter Coffee and Lavazza Cappuccino offer another useful distinction: filter coffee has a medium-bodied profile, while the cappuccino combines espresso with steamed milk and milk foam.
Which Wetherspoons meals include a drink?
Curry Club and Steak Club often include a drink at participating pubs, but the eligible selection needs checking locally. Curry Club traditionally takes place on Thursday and Steak Club on Tuesday. These are food-and-drink offers, not evidence that every drink in this section qualifies or that every pub runs the same arrangement.
Before choosing Guinness, Gordon’s Gin & Tonic or Coldwater Creek Merlot alongside a club meal, ask which drinks are included and which require separate payment. A drink listed here should not be treated as eligible simply because it appears on the wider menu. Compare the complete food-and-drink offer with your preferred separate order, using the pub’s current prices and the serving size actually included.
Do Wetherspoons drinks change by pub?
Wetherspoons drink prices vary by pub, while specific seasonal or rotating drinks are not confirmed in this listing. The section gives you named choices such as Doom Bar, Stella Artois and Kopparberg Mixed Fruit, but it does not establish a seasonal calendar or a rotation schedule. Check the current local menu if your visit depends on a particular drink.
The broader description mentions real ales and craft beers, so asking about the current beer selection is more useful than expecting an unnamed special. For a straightforward alternative, identify another style you would enjoy: Ruddles Best for bitter, Thatchers Gold for medium-dry cider, or Pepsi Max for a non-alcoholic cola. That keeps your decision practical without relying on an unconfirmed promotion or guest drink.

Wetherspoons drinks deals and offers
Curry Club and Steak Club are the relevant food-and-drink offers to check, traditionally on Thursday and Tuesday respectively at participating pubs. A meal deal means food plus an eligible drink, rather than unrestricted access to every beer, wine or spirit listed here. Both clubs often include a drink, but local participation and the qualifying choices need confirmation. For value, compare the complete offer with the typical cost of ordering your preferred food and drink separately. Lavazza Filter Coffee is the listed best-value standalone drink. Do not assume it, a pint of Guinness or a gin and tonic qualifies for a particular meal deal without checking locally.
When is the drinks menu served at Wetherspoons
Drinks service times are not specified here, so check your chosen pub rather than applying kitchen hours to the bar. Breakfast is typically served from the morning until midday, while the main food menu usually runs from late morning until the kitchen closes in the late evening. Neither window confirms when every drink can be ordered. Curry Club traditionally runs on Thursday and Steak Club on Tuesday at participating pubs. If you arrive outside a food or club window, ask which drinks and any food-and-drink offers are currently available.
How many calories in the Wetherspoons drinks
Lavazza Filter Coffee is the listed lightest drink and Guinness the listed highest-calorie choice, but a numerical calorie range is not available here. Diet Coke is described as calorie-free, while Pepsi Max is described as zero-sugar; those descriptions are not a full nutritional comparison of the section. Check current nutrition information before ranking every option or calculating its share of your daily intake. Include any milk, mixer or other additions in that calculation rather than considering the base drink alone. If you are ordering food too, the meal and any sides also count towards the total. For a lighter starting point, compare filter coffee and the listed diet colas.
Allergens in the Wetherspoons drinks
Milk in Lavazza Cappuccino and barley in Guinness are the clearest ingredient flags in this listing, but the information does not establish which major allergens occur most often across the section. Flavour notes alone are not a reliable allergen declaration. Check Wetherspoon’s current allergen information, tell staff about your allergy and do not rely on this independent guide alone. Ask about the exact drink, mixer and any requested change, since a swap may alter its allergen status. Shared preparation or serving equipment can also matter for cross-contact, so confirm the pub’s handling arrangements before ordering. Vegetarian and vegan tags do not establish allergy suitability.
Vegetarian and vegan options on the drinks menu
There are 15 listed drinks with vegetarian or vegan tags, with several options across beer, cider, wine, spirits, soft drinks and coffee. Stella Artois, Guinness, Thatchers Gold, Pepsi Max and Lavazza Filter Coffee carry both tags. Ruddles Best, Doom Bar and Lavazza Cappuccino are tagged vegetarian, but not vegan, in this listing. Treat those labels as applying to the named drink rather than every possible variation. A vegetarian or vegan tag is not a guarantee of separate preparation or allergy suitability. Plant-based diners should check the current product information and any additions, especially when changing a mixer or adding milk to coffee.
How to order from the Wetherspoons drinks menu
Use the current menu for your chosen pub to confirm drink prices, serving sizes and availability before ordering. At the bar, name the drink and the listed format, particularly when comparing a pint with a wine glass or a single-measure spirit and mixer. If you plan to use the Wetherspoon app at your table, check that the correct pub is selected and review the price shown there rather than relying on this guide’s typical range. App ordering and table-service arrangements are not confirmed in this listing, so ask staff if needed. Have an alternative in mind if your first choice is unavailable.
Best Wetherspoons drinks choices
Best for standalone value
Lavazza Filter Coffee is the listed best-value choice. Its medium-bodied profile and roasted-nut notes give you a clear flavour reason to choose it, not just a lower typical price.
Best for a lighter choice
Lavazza Filter Coffee is the listed lightest option. Check its current nutritional information and any additions before ordering, particularly if you are comparing the complete drink rather than the coffee alone.
Best for a vegan beer
Stella Artois carries vegan and vegetarian tags and offers a crisp Belgian-style lager profile. It is a useful choice if you prefer pale lager to the roasted character of Guinness.
Best for roasted flavours
Guinness suits drinkers who want roasted barley and dark chocolate notes rather than a crisp lager profile. This Irish dry stout is also tagged vegan and vegetarian in the listing.
Best for medium-dry cider
Thatchers Gold is the medium-dry cider choice, with apple character and both vegan and vegetarian tags. Compare it with Kopparberg Mixed Fruit if you are deciding between drier and sweeter styles.
Best for a non-alcoholic cola
Large Pepsi Max offers a zero-sugar cola option with a bold, sweet flavour and carbonation. Check the local serving size when comparing it with the separately listed pint of Diet Coke.
How to choose from the drinks menu
- 01
Choose your drink style
Start with beer, cider, wine, spirits, soft drinks or coffee. A crisp Stella Artois and a roasted Guinness offer quite different profiles, so style is a more useful first filter than price.
- 02
Check the serving format
Compare the actual serving before comparing typical prices. Ruddles Best is listed as a pint, while Smirnoff Red Vodka & Mixer uses a single measure and the wines have specified glass measures.
- 03
Confirm dietary and allergy details
Check the named drink’s current dietary and allergen information before adding milk or changing a mixer. Lavazza Filter Coffee is tagged vegan, but that does not establish the suitability of every customised version.
- 04
Compare any eligible meal deal
Ask about eligible drinks if you are ordering Curry Club or Steak Club. Those offers often include a drink at participating pubs, but a listing here does not prove that your choice qualifies.
- 05
Check locally before you order
Confirm the pub’s current price and availability, then keep an alternative in mind. If Thatchers Gold is unavailable, decide whether you want another cider style or a different type of drink altogether.
How the drinks menu compares to other Wetherspoons sections
The drinks menu is the section for choosing a beverage, while Breakfast Menu, Burgers and Curry Club help you choose food. Its variety comes from drink styles and serving formats, including pints, wine glasses, single-measure spirits and coffee, rather than meal portions. Typical drink prices range from £1.49 to £4.49, but prices for those food sections are not supplied here, so a reliable cost ranking is not possible. If you want a complete meal, start with the relevant food section and then choose a drink. For Curry Club, check whether an eligible drink is included before paying for a separate order.
