The deal only applies to the Wetherspoon small breakfast, which includes a fried egg, bacon, Lincolnshire sausage, baked beans and hash brown (or potato scone in Scottish pubs).
Prices vary across the pub giant’s estate, but the breakfast would normally set customers back £4.45, meaning a saving of at least 32%.
Punters will be able to add a Lavazza coffee or Twinings tea, as well as free refills, to their breakfast order for an extra £1.56.
Hungry customers can also add extras to the breakfast including black pudding, mushrooms, toast and tomatoes.
J D Wetherspoon founder and chairman, Tim Martin, said: “We believe that our customers will welcome the value-for-money breakfast in our pubs.”
On top of the 650 pubs offering the £2.99 or less offer, a further 129 will offer the small breakfast for £3.99.
The offer does not apply to pubs at airports, Liverpool Street, Victoria, Waterloo or St Pancras stations or those in the Republic of Ireland.
If you want to find your nearest pub, you can use the locator tool on Wetherspoon’s website or app.
Those who love a Wetherspoon bargain need to put Thursday 12 September in their diary.
On that date Wetherspoon will offer customers a 7.5% reduction, across its food and drink menu, to mark its Tax Equality Day.
This month will also see Wetherspoon open a huge new train station pub following a £2.8million investment.
The Lion and The Unicorn will open at Waterloo station in London on Tuesday, September 3 in a move that’s set to delight commuters.
The opening of The Lion and The Unicorn forms part of Wetherspoons’ plan to open even bigger pubs, known as “Super Spoons”.
New boozers will also open in Fulham Broadway station and in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, in the coming months.
WAYS TO SAVE AT WETHERSPOONS
Every year, Spoons holds its Tax Equality Day to highlight the benefits of a permanently reduced tax bill for the pub industry.
It usually takes place in September, and this year falls on Thursday 12 September.
As well this its pubs host a 12-day Real Ale Festival every Autumn, Wetherspoons and a Spring Festival.
Wetherspoons is known for its meal deal offers that run all week long.
These include Tuesday’s Steak Club, Thursday’s Curry Club and Fish Friday.
For example, a standard curry club meal with an alcoholic drink is between £8.55 and £9.19.
Outside of the deal, you would expect to pay around a fiver more for the same meal.
You can enjoy bottomless brews all day in participating Wetherspoons pubs by buying one hot drink.
The offer includes tea and a range of Lavazza coffee including a flat white, latte, cappuccino, and Americano.
Prices start from just 99p but they can vary depending on your location.

So if you’re planning a pint at a Spoons, it’s worth popping in nearby pubs to see if you’re settling in at the cheapest.
Choose your day – Each night the pub chain runs certain food theme nights.
For instance, every Thursday night is curry club, where diners can get a main meal and a drink for a set price cheaper than usual.

FOUR in 10 people don’t like saying sorry – because they’re ‘never’ wrong.
A poll of 1,000 adults aged 20-50 found nearly a fifth (18 per cent) don’t feel ‘comfortable’ making an apology, with 15 per cent revealing they don’t like admitting when they are wrong.
Discover how good you are (or bad) at saying sorrySorry seems to be the hardest word to sayExperts say pride can get in the way of apologising
And 23 per cent even feel embarrassed at the thought of apologising.
Not wanting to re-ignite conflict, having difficulty expressing emotion, and putting it down to principal were also cited as reasons that stop someone saying sorry.
The study was commissioned by HONOR to mark its Magic V3 launch, which has partnered with 78-year-old micro-artist, Graham Short, to issue the world’s smallest apology to customers of chunkier foldables.
Those feeling a little disappointed with the large size of their current device from rival brands can read a 166-word apology hand-engraved on the hinge of the 9.2mm thin foldable phone.
Avikar Jolly, CMO for HONOR EUROPE, which has also created a quiz to find out how good or bad people are at saying sorry, said: “Sorry often seems to be the hardest word.
“Even when people don’t believe they’re in the wrong, an apology can go a long way to demonstrate empathy – especially when there is something better on offer.”
The study found the average 20-50-year-old only says sorry around three times a week – amounting to more than 150 heartfelt apologies a year.
More than four in 10 (41 per cent) claim to typically be the first to apologise – whether they think they are in the wrong or not.
It also emerged that 38 per cent have previously said sorry for something without meaning it, and a third have regretted apologising about a particular thing.
More than three in 10 (31 per cent) would rather an immediate apology after a person has done something wrong.
With 15 per cent claiming they are not bothered about how they receive it – whether that be on social media or via text message.
The biggest bugbear people have is when someone says sorry but clearly doesn’t mean what they say (48 per cent).
While 47 per cent hate it when they blame it on others – rather than owning up to their mistakes.
And 35 per cent dislike it when the other person seems annoyed that they are having to apologise in the first place.
Avikar Jolly added: “Breaking down the barriers of saying sorry can be difficult for a lot of people, especially if pride or fear gets in the way.
“However, a well-delivered apology can transform a relationship as it shows maturity, respect, and a willingness to put the other person’s feelings first.
“We know size matters and that we’ve put foldable owners in a predicament, which is why we wanted to issue a sincere apology to those who might be saddened by the release of the Magic V3.”

INCREDIBLE first-person footage has captured Ukrainian troops storming Russian trenches while dodging heavy machine gun fire.
Daring soldiers from Ukraine’s Third Assault Brigade sparked a brutal counteroffensive after they were deployed in a forest near Kharkiv.

The clip, shared by Ukrainian military bloggers, shows the troops launching the raid at dawn after they were dropped from a military chopper.
Crack soldiers can be seen engaging in heated gunfights as they storm enemy positions camouflaged in the dense forest.
They raid enemy dugouts, storm through the Russian trenches and rescue wounded troops as they move towards the frontlines.
Russian troops on the other side try to thwart the Ukrainian advance using machine guns as they shower them with bullets, but daring Kyiv’s forces continue to move forward and cut off enemy lines.
A brave Ukrainian soldier can be heard saying: “If I get into the trench line, I’ll kill that machine gunner with my bare hands.”
Just four out of 17 armoured vehicles dispatched to the frontline in Donetsk escaped the kamikaze drone attack.
Video shared online shows how Ukraine’s impressive assault drones ruthlessly blitz Putin’s troops and tanks as they try to escape.
Tanks can be seen rolling down a road in Kurakhove, Donetsk, as Ukrainian army snipers pinpoint and explode them with precision drone strikes.
Other footage shows Russian soldiers trying to escape in the nearby village of Kostyantynivka as Ukrainian fighter pilots eliminate them.
Russia has been desperately trying to regain the upper hand in Ukraine after Zelensky’s forces pushed through into enemy territory on August 6.
Some hundreds of kilometres away from Donetsk in Kursk, Kyiv launched an assault across the border from the Sumy region.
Ukraine’s drone campaign has tirelessly chipped away at Putin’s forces and kit for some two and a half years.
It has successfully held back enemy forces, obliterated vital oil stores and military supplies, blown up key bridges, destroyed naval ships and aircraft and cut down infantry.
Russians have been scrambling to defend Ukraine‘s audacious move, which sparked a “counter-terror” operation in regions of Belgorod, Bryansk and Kursk.
Heart-stopping footage showed how brave Ukrainian troops have been gaining ground on Putin‘s land.
The clip starts with Ukraine’s special forces packed in Humvees blasting their way into Russia.
Soldiers sitting atop the armoured vehicles can be seen using rocket launchers to obliterate enemy targets.
An intense gunfight then takes place as they storm military positions across the Russian border.
Kyiv’s daring troops then raid enemy bunkers and other buildings while returning the enemies with heavy fire.
One first-person clip shows a Ukrainian soldier blasting Russians with what appears to be a lightweight machine gun mounted on top of an armoured vehicle.
Fifteen regions were hit and at least seven were killed.
Authorities said a hotel was blown away in the central city of Kryvyi, killing two, with two more dying in drone attacks in the embattled Zaporizhzhia in the country’s southeast.
Ukraine was also forced to intercept strikes bound for capital city Kyiv.
Fierce fighting boils on in Pokrovsk in Ukraine’s east as Vlad vies to take the high-priority Donetsk town.
It is being hotly fought over because it sits in vicinity of Ukrainian supply lines.
The Kremlin’s deadly strikes are set to keep igniting debate over whether Kyiv should be allowed to use Western weapons to strike deep within Russia, where they say attacks are being launched from.
The Sun stepped into sovereign Russia – despite Kremlin threats to kill or convict us – to speak to ordinary Russians left stranded by their soldiers’ humiliating retreat.
Bomb blasts echoed over ruined buildings as Olga, 23, a taxi cab dispatcher, said: “I didn’t think about the war at all. I was just working constantly.
“Home, job, home. I didn’t think about anything beyond my personal life.”
All that changed on August 6 when Ukraine launched a surprise attack from neighbouring Sumy province and captured 1,300 square kilometres in Russia’s worst defeat on home soil since the end of World War Two.

And he stressed that ordinary Russians must “feel” the effects of the war unleashed by tyrant Putin.
Olga said her mother and brother fled their hometown of Sudzha, the largest Russian town now under Ukrainian control.
But Olga was cut off by fighting and unable to cross town to reach them before they escaped.
We met her in a temporary shelter where Ukrainian troops were providing food and beds for civilians left behind.
She added: “I stayed because I couldn’t leave. There was no evacuation.”
A statue of Lenin in Sudzha’s main square had been severely maimed – only part of his trunk appeared to remain on the pedestal.
Behind it, the town hall’s grand facade lay shattered by artillery holes.
A blue and yellow Ukrainian flag fluttered from a makeshift flagpole.
Graffiti on the cobbles mocked Russia’s defenders for fleeing.
It said: “Russians, learn how to fight. Your conscripts are rotting in forests.”
The Russian soldiers defending Sudzha were a mixture of border guards, conscripts and Chechens from the Akhmat battalion.
One of the Sudzha’s residents cursed them for fleeing so quickly
They said: “Our defence was so bad. There weren’t any soldiers. That’s why we are here.”
Around 600 civilians still live in Sudzha from a pre-war population of 5,000, Ukrainian soldiers estimated.
They said it was hard to tell precisely as many were sheltering underground.
While we were there a man came in who had spent the last three weeks in a cellar.
The troops said it was the first time they had seen him.
Pensioner Valentina, 76, another resident in the shelter, said she had tried to forget the war since she moved to Sudzha five years ago – from Donetsk in eastern Ukraine.
She left to escape the fighting that was unleashed in 2014 when Russian-backed separatists broke away from Kyiv’s control.
Speaking from her dormitory bed, she said: “I never thought this war would be so big that it would come to such a little place like this.
“What is there to fight for here?”
Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin said Ukraine wanted Russian territory to use as a bargaining chip in any future peace talks.
Kyiv claimed the land was a buffer zone to limit Russian attacks.
Zelensky has also stressed the importance of capturing 600 prisoners of war to swap for captured Ukrainians.
The assault has boosted morale in Ukraine and changed the narrative of the conflict after months of grinding losses in eastern Donbas.
It has also turned the tables on Moscow and shattered the slowly calcifying myth of Russia’s inevitable victory.
