Meal deals at JD Wetherspoon pubs has helped the chain pull in customers despite the smoking ban.
Sales dropped by one per cent on last year's figures but have increased by 0.4 per cent in the last 11 weeks.
The company, which owns 700 pubs in the UK, said it had faced "considerable" rises in energy, food, labour and tax costs this year.
And Wetherspoon said that a significant portion of its cost increases were down to government legislation.
Tim Martin, chairman and founder of the group, told the Times: "We've reached the point now where price increases on food and beer are inevitable."
"The whole industry is going to have to run hard to stay still over the coming 12 months," he said.
JD Wetherspoon is one of the most successful pub chains in the country and opened its first pub in 1979, and bargain code hunters may be interested to know the company offers £2 and £5 gift vouchers.
