Saying cheers to Wetherspoons!
Summer is still upon us, and with that comes warm, lighter evenings spent in a beer garden with your friends and family, and for many Brits, a trip to the local Wetherspoons is the perfect place to be. The research team at Chicks Gold examined the locations of every Wetherspoon in the UK and compared them against the area's population. Figures for the number of Wetherspoons per 100,000 residents were then obtained to create the final ranking.

Blaenau Gwent takes the title as the UK's Wetherspoon capital, with a whopping 4.48 Wetherspoons per 100,000 residents. Uttlesford and East Devon rank third, both having 3.24 Wetherspoons per 100,000 people. Located in north-west Essex, Uttlesford has a population of 92,578 and has three Wetherspoons to choose from. It's in close proximity to London and has plenty of transport links, making it perfect for a Spoons afternoon out. In comparison, East Devon has a much larger population of 154,500 and boasts five Wetherspoons. The miles of beautiful coastline and lure of plenty of budget-friendly drink options available make it an excellent choice for a staycation.
Commenting on the findings, Al Alof, the CEO of Chicks Gold said, "With over 800 pubs across the UK, Wetherspoons has become an integral part of British culture, offering affordable dining and a welcoming atmosphere for all ages. In fact, according to a survey by Statista, 86% of UK restaurant-goers recognize the brand, and 34% have dined there, highlighting its widespread appeal. "Whether you're planning a staycation or searching for the perfect Spoons night out, these locations are some of the UK's true Wetherspoons strongholds. "It might be surprising to see some of the locations in the top 10, but the strong Spoons presence proves that pub culture thrives just as much in smaller towns and unexpected corners of the UK as it does in the big cities."
