We could see higher prices at some Fife pubs during peak times.
Stonegate is introducing a 20p price hike per pint in some of its venues due to rising costs.
The firm owns three pubs in the Kingdom: The Exchequer in Kirkcaldy, the East Port Bar in Dunfermline, and the Rule in St Andrews.
It's not yet confirmed if they're part of the plans, but Stonegate says 800 of its 4,000 UK bars will be affected on weekends and evenings.
A spokesperson for Stonegate said: “Stonegate Group, like all retail businesses, regularly review pricing to manage costs but also to ensure we offer great value for money to our guests.
“Across the managed business our dynamic pricing encompasses the ability to offer guests a range of promotions including happy hours, 2-for-1 cocktails, and discounts on food and drink products at different times on different days throughout the week.
“This flexibility may mean that on occasions pricing may marginally increase in selective pubs and bars due to the increased cost demands on the business with additional staffing or licensing requirements such as additional door team members.”
Customers will be alerted of any price changes through notices in affected pubs.
