WETHERSPOONS has been serving customers since 1979, and has gone on to become one of the UK’s biggest pub chains.
It is a beloved place to meet friends, but some punters have been asking if Wetherspoons will stay open over the Early May Bank Holiday.
Weatherspoons’ holiday hours
Wetherspoons is always popular with Brits, but its pubs become even busier over bank holiday weekends.
The chain of pubs extended its hours over the New Year period to allow its fans to ring in 2025 in their favourite place to drink.
It even offered a full lunch on Christmas Day when nearly every other restaurant closed.
The Early May Bank Holiday in 2025 is no exception for Wetherspoons — all of its pubs will remain open, unlike many other food and drink establishments.
However, some branches may operate different hours, so ask a member of staff about your local pub’s opening times.
Wetherspoon’s incredible journey
Wetherspoons was first opened in 1979 in London by Tim Martin.
It takes its name from a JD Hogg, a character in The Dukes of Hazzard, and one of Tim’s teachers in New Zealand.
Since then, the chain has ballooned in size and now has over 800 locations across the UK.
Wetherspoons' recipe for success
Wetherspoons' low cost meals and alcoholic drinks make it an eternal high street favourite.
The chain offers a range of dishes, including new gourmet Korean burgers, for diners to enjoy.
Its iconic full English breakfasts is on sale every day for under £6 and, in one London branch, beers cost just £1.50.
Wetherspoons is renowned for taking over unique locations, with the Crosse Keys pub being based in a former bank and a new pub being based in a Grade II listed post office.
