Under the Eat Out to Help Out scheme, restaurants offered customers half price food and soft drinks on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays in August and recouped the cash from the government.
Wetherspoon founder and chairman Tim Martin said: "The government’s Eat Out to Help Out scheme was extremely popular with our customers and a great boost to the hospitality industry.
"We are keen to offer our customers a superb choice of food and drink at great value for money prices.
"Our offer means that a classic beef burger in our pubs will be even better value than McDonald’s.
"The classic burger in Wetherspoon is £3.99 versus McDonald’s Big Mac medium meal, which costs £4.59."
