Wetherspoon customers issued looming 20p pint price warning
Martin said the government kept heaping pressure on pubs through higher taxes and costs.
The pub industry had already faced demands for higher prices from breweries, which had increased their prices by around 7p per pint in the past week, he revealed.
"It means pints in pubs are going to go up by on average 15p to 20p this month", he said.
JD Wetherspoon has said that its pubs have capitalised on the spring sunshine while reiterating the impact of fresh hikes in labour costs on the bottom line.

The British Beer and Pub Association recently warned that the price of a pint is expected to exceed the £5 mark, up from the current average of £4.80.
Breweries are reacting to increases in the National Living Wage and National Insurance contributions, which came into effect at the start of April.
The National Living Wage rose by 77p an hour to £12.21, while the rate of employer National Insurance contributions increased from 13.8% to 15%.
Plus, the threshold at which businesses begin paying this tax was reduced, dropping from £9,100 to £5,000 a year.
Sir Tim warned: "The risk to the country is people either in the UK or coming from abroad will think that it's too expensive to set up a business in the UK."
"Guinness is pretty expensive but we are selling plenty of the stuff.
"We have also introduced Jaipur ale, which is more pricey but doing very well.
"Our Stella also outsells Bud Light, which is cheaper."

The Wetherspoon boss confirmed he remains "very keen" on the idea of opening pubs overseas through the company's rapidly growing franchise business.
The pub giant already operates a few franchised pubs on university campuses and seven pubs within Haven Holiday parks.
He said: "It's a good sign the holiday parks are doing very well so we think it will do well with people overseas, especially where Brits holiday."
Sir Tim added that he is "open to anything," including launching pubs in airports and campsites.

Moneypenny Launches Dedicated Hospitality Team as Sector Adapts to Economic Pressures
Customer conversations provider Moneypenny has launched a dedicated hospitality team in response to rising demand from pubs, restaurants, and hotels looking to operate more efficiently amid soaring costs and National Insurance hikes. As hospitality venues across the UK face mounting financial pressures, many are turning to outsourcing to streamline operations, reduce staffing burdens, and improve service without increasing overheads, the firm said. Wrexham-based Moneypenny has seen a 26 %increase in hospitality enquiries over the past 12 months, prompting the creation of a specialised team trained to handle the needs of the sector. The National Insurance rise is one of many cost pressures forcing businesses to think how they operate. 'Outsourcing our calls to Moneypenny allows us to focus on growth without having to invest heavily in more staff – especially if they're only needed to meet seasonality demands,' said Ryan Davies Director from Llanerch Vineyard Hotel. The new hospitality team provides 24/7 phone answering, live chat, online bookings and customer service support, enabling venues to offer a seamless experience even during busy periods without having to stretch in-house teams. 'We're proud to be supporting the hospitality sector during such a pivotal time,' said Jesper With-Fogstrup, Group CEO of Moneypenny. 'This new team is a direct response to what we're seeing across the industry: businesses wanting to innovate, protect jobs, and keep delivering brilliant service without burning out their people on non-core tasks.'

Rachel Reeves seeks economic heavyweights as advisers reduce roles
In the run-up to her crunch autumn budget, Rachel Reeves will seek to recruit a heavyweight economic adviser after the role of John Van Reenen is reduced. Van Reenen, a well-respected professor from the London School of Economics (LSE) and an expert in productivity, has been chief economic adviser to the chancellor since Labour came to power. His role will be cut from three days to one a week as he returns to the LSE at the start of the academic year. Anna Valero, another member of Reeves's council of economic advisers, is also to depart. Treasury sources said that while Van Reenen's position was in theory part-time, his position at the chancellor's side through a tumultuous 12 months had meant working 'seven days a week'. Reeves is under intense pressure to respond to a deteriorating economic outlook with a fresh round of tax rises in her autumn budget. The chancellor has had a bruising few months after being forced to reverse her decision to remove the winter fuel allowance from most pensioners and take much of the blame from Labour's backbenchers for the botched £5bn in cuts to disability benefits. At a House of Lords committee on Tuesday, the chancellor placed Van Reenen's key insight – the need for higher investment to boost the UK's productivity – at the heart of her economic strategy. The chancellor told peers: 'The key problem is productivity and investment is the answer. Investment in human capital, investment in physical capital and also investment in new technologies. That's why the fiscal rules I set out do treat investment differently.' She declined to rule out taxing wealth more heavily, telling Lord Lamont, a former Conservative chancellor from the 1990s: 'This is, with respect, what you would have done and did do in my position: you rightly said that tax is a matter for a budget and we'll set out our policy then.' Treasury sources said Valero, also an LSE fellow, had always been expected to return to academia but would remain in touch with government, adding that Valero and Van Reenen had worked on key policy announcements, including the industrial strategy and the spending review, which had now been completed. Sign up to Business Today Get set for the working day – we'll point you to all the business news and analysis you need every morning after newsletter promotion A Treasury spokesperson said: 'John and Anna have provided invaluable leadership to the chancellor and will continue to do so in their new capacities.' Whitehall insiders said as lead adviser on industrial strategy, Valero's departure risked leaving the policy without a powerful champion in the Treasury, which could make it tougher for departments tasked with grabbing the chancellor's ear to ensure the policy was implemented effectively. Meanwhile, some Labour veterans have long warned that Reeves lacks a powerful enforcer who can impose the Treasury's will across Whitehall, pointing to the role played by Ed Balls when Gordon Brown was chancellor, and to that of Rupert Harrison, George Osborne's chief economic adviser. Van Reenen's departure comes as Keir Starmer is beefing up his own economic expertise. For some time No 10 has wanted to recruit an economic adviser to provide a counterweight to Treasury dominance in economic policymaking.

Wetherspoons boss gives pub pricing update and slams ‘no-sense' tax pressures on boozers
The pub chain is still "pushing ahead and investing in the future ," with plans to open 30 new pubs next year PRICE IS RIGHT Wetherspoons boss gives pub pricing update and slams 'no-sense' tax pressures on boozers SIR Tim Martin will not increase Wetherspoons' food and drink prices in the coming months, The Sun can reveal. The Spoons boss said he would be able to make the pledge after revealing sales are now higher than before the pandemic, despite slamming the government's "no-sense" tax policies. 1 The price promise came as Wetherspoons reported a 5.1% sales boost in 12 weeks to July 20 Credit: Jon Bond - The Sun Wetherspoon increased prices on some drinks and meal deals by up to 30p back in January. However, Sir Tim told The Sun: "We intent to hold prices at least for the summer and autumn." The price promise came as Wetherspoons reported a 5.1% sales boost in 12 weeks to July 20, driven by strong demand for draught beers like Guinness. The chain's shares jumped 3.6% as it announced sales volumes have now exceeded pre-pandemic levels. Demand for New Zealand vino and Italian prosecco has also helped drive its recovery. However, Sir Tim continues to slam the Labour government's unfair tax rules, saying they favour supermarkets and called for equal VAT and business rates for pubs. He said: "The pandemic obviously had a big effect on the hospitality industry and it's taken some to recover. "But we're affected by a difficult regulatory and taxation regions." Sir Tim said that two major taxes need to be adjusted to help keep hospitalty "competitive and attractive for foreign capital". He said: "Pubs must have tax equality with supermarkets. "It makes no sense to give supermarkets favourable tax treatment - pubs pay 20% VAT on food sales and supermarkets pay nothing. "Plus, we're forced to pay 28p of business rates per print versus 2p for supermarkets selling the same product." Despite these hurdles, Wetherspoon is "pushing ahead and investing in the future," with plans to open 30 new pubs next year and invest in gardens and staff spaces as the chain continues to thrive. While the exact locations haven't been revealed yet, these new sites add to several openings announced earlier this year, including one on the former grounds of The London Dungeon. The Sun Wharf on Tooley Street, London Bridge is due to open on September 2. The posh London neighbourhood of Fulham has also welcomed a new Spoons located in the old West London tube station. Fans will be treated to three more openings this year, including a branch in Warwickshire which will open on July 29. Two more sites are also due to open in Paddington and Beaconsfield. Alongside expanding its estate, the chain has also been selling some of its smaller, older pubs. The chain runs 794 pubs in the UK and Ireland. The Wetherspoon boss confirmed he remains "very keen" on the idea of opening pubs overseas through the company's rapidly growing franchise business. The pub giant already operates a few franchised pubs on university campuses and seven pubs within Haven Holiday parks. Sir Tim added that he is "open to anything," including launching pubs in airports and campsites.
