The majority of the chain's pubs will be closed when the official service takes place
Wetherspoons has revealed which of its pubs will be open - and which will stay shut - as the Queen's funeral takes place on Monday.
However, the chain's pubs in railway stations and airports will remain open, operating under the standard opening time of 8am and closing time of midnight. Venues in central London will also be open as usual on the Bank Holiday.A spokesman for JD Wetherspoon said: "Pub company Wetherspoon is opening its pubs in central London, rail stations and airports and all of its hotels during normal trading hours from 8am until midnight on Monday September 19.
The UK’s biggest pub firm, Stonegate, said it plans to keep venues open and show footage of the Queen’s funeral. The Slug & Lettuce owner, which runs about 4,500 pubs and bars, said its managed venues will remain open to allow customers to celebrate the life of the Queen, with those running its leased and tenanted pubs able to independently decide whether they will open.
Downing Street has indicated that it is up to individual businesses how to approach the bank holiday. The Prime Minister's spokesman said: "Obviously individual businesses will need to make the decisions about what’s right for them and discuss with their employees but there is obviously no one-size-fits-all approach."
