Wetherspoons confirms you can’t go topless at its pubs during heatwave
Apparently you’ve got to keep your shoes on at all times as well…
With the temperatures about to soar in Manchester, with plenty of sunshine to boot, you might be considering heading to your local pub to help cool down.
Well, if you’re planning on heading to a Wetherspoons establishment you better make sure you have a top with you, no matter how hot it is outside.
The pub chain has confirmed that customers are not allowed to go topless in its pubs, so you best put those lobster tans away if you fancy a pint.

Manchester is home to a number of Spoons, including The Moon Under Water, The Paramount and The Waterhouse.
While the pub chain might have a reputation for being a laid back spot where you can grab cheap food and drink, there’s still a dress code to abide by.
Wetherspoons customers are not allowed to remove shirts or footwear for hygiene reasons, and anyone who breaks the rules can be refused entry or service.

The company website states: “The majority of our pubs are family environments so we ask our customers to dress appropriately and in a way which would not cause offence to the public.
“All customers must be fully clothed throughout their visit. The company does not permit the removal of shirts or footwear.
“In addition, some pubs operate specific dress codes at all or certain times. For information on these requirements, speak directly to the team of the pub you wish to visit.”
A woman made headlines last year after she claimed to have been kicked out of a Spoons in Reading for wearing an ‘inappropriate’ top showing too much cleavage.
