Martin told The Sun: 'The three new products will be offered at a lower price than those they are replacing.
This is a significant move by us and highlights our commitment to offering an excellent range of UK and world products, with the emphasis on quality and value for the two million customers who visit our pubs each week.
In blind tastings conducted by Wetherspoon, the new products were more popular than those they are replacing.
Many commentators talk of a ‘cliff-edge’ if the UK ‘crashes out’ of the EU without a deal.
In reality, there is no cliff-edge, only sunlit uplands beyond the EU’s protectionist system of quotas and tariffs.
All EU products have UK or non-EU replacements, often at equal or better quality and price.'
