Major Wetherspoons menu shake-up to land next week with new US-style gourmet food range
WETHERSPOONS is preparing for a major shake-up next week with its new “gourmet” menu.
The highly anticipated change is set to introduce a selection of US-inspired dishes.
Customers can tuck into a new range of three Gourmet Burgers from May 14, just in time for alfresco dining.
Up first is The Big Smoke which includes pulled BBQ beef brisket, American-style cheese and maple-cured bacon.
This sweet and salty burger is stacked high and packs a crunch in between two buns.
Next up is the Buffalo burger which serves up a fried buttermilk chicken breast, blue cheese and naga chilli sauce and American-style cheese.
The crispy chicken dish arrives at your table with a spicy chicken wing skewered onto the top of the burger, giving you an extra snack with your meal.
Finally is the Cheese Meltdown which includes American-style cheese smothered with Emmental and Cheddar sauce.
Pictures show cheesy sauce dripping down the sides of the burger with the filling stacked on lettuce and tomato.
Both The Big Smoke and the Cheese Meltdown come with the choice of a 6oz beef patty or a fried buttermilk chicken breast.
All three mouthwatering dishes are served with chips, onion rings and a drink to get that full burger joint experience.
If burgers aren’t your bag, Wetherspoons is also adding a range of Korean-style chicken meals to the improved menu.
The big change is bittersweet though, as bosses have decided to remove major players from the menu.
Steaks, mixed grills and gammon will no longer be served at the pub chain.
The details are yet to be announced, but a spokesperson said: “Wetherspoon is making changes to its menu in May.
“This includes the removal of steaks, mixed grills and gammon on May 14.
“A new range of Gourmet Burgers will be introduced; The Big Smoke, Buffalo Burger and Cheese Meltdown, on Wed 14 May.
“There will also be a range of Korean-style chicken meals added.”
Steak, mixed grills and gammon are all set to be scrapped from the menu after being branded the “biggest loss-makers.”
The spokesperson continued: “Wetherspoon is confident that its menu provides a variety of choices and value-for-money meals.
“We appreciate that some customers will be disappointed with the decision to remove steaks and grills.”
