Overview
- Wetherspoon confirmed it has removed hot chocolate and mocha from its free‑refill hot‑drinks offer, citing regulations that came into force on October 1.
- The pub chain said the refill deal continues for tea and all other coffees, keeping the rest of its hot‑drink offer unchanged.
- Customer notices have gone up across sites, including a sign at The Tanners Hall in Darlington stating the two drinks are now excluded from refills.
- Local reports say the policy applies across Wetherspoon pubs in and around Norwich, including The Bell Hotel, the Glasshouse, Queen of Iceni and The Whiffler.
- The Department of Health and Social Care’s rules ban bottomless sugary drinks and other promotions, and other outlets such as Nando’s and Morrisons Cafe have made similar changes.
