Wetherspoons fans devastated as ‘favourite’ dip axed from menu
WETHERSPOONS has axed a popular dip leaving fans devastated.
Sticky soy sauce has now permanently disappeared from the budget boozer’s menu.
The Asian-inspired dip, which was often served with breast bites, was a popular choice amongst diners.
Confused punters took to Reddit to find out where the beloved dish had gone.
Writing in a thread one customer asked if anyone knew where the sauce had gone, adding they would be “devastated” if it was axed.
Another person said: “Not very happy about it but its gone. So good with breast bites.”
The Sun reached out to Wetherspoons who confirmed the sauce was taken off menus on May 14.
A spokesperson said: “ The company reviews its menus regularly and on occasion, some items will be taken off.
“This is the case with the sticky soy sauce.”
“We appreciate that some customers will be disappointed and apologise to them.”
The news will come as a blow to customers who in the past described the sauce as “the one”.
Another fan previously said they “lived” for the beloved liquid condiment.
It comes as the affordable chain has shaken up its menu in recent weeks.
That includes it’s famous £6.49 chicken bites, which are “temporarily unavailable” on menus across all pubs in the UK.
The staple item featured 10 crispy chicken bites, chips and a bunch of sauces.
Spoons has also cut steak, mixed grills and gammon from menus across the country in a cost-cutting shake-up.
But it is not all bad news for punters as the chain has launched a range of new Gourmet Burgers.
Spoons also launched a £2.99 breakfast deal in February, with customers able to get a breakfast muffin or small breakfast with soft or hot drink.
MORE AXED MENU ITEMS
Wetherspoons is not the only chain switching up its menus.
Greggs recently axed its Chargrill Chicken Oval Bite in a blow to fans.
A spokesperson for Greggs told The Sun the bite has been axed to make way for the new Roast Chicken Salad Roll, which launched in May.
The Sun also exclusively revealed in May the chain had axed its Spicy Veg Curry Bake.
How can I save money at Wetherspoons?
PUB-GOERS love Wetherspoons for its competitive pricing and low-cost meals - but did you know there are more ways to save money?
Senior consumer reporter Olivia Marshall explains how.
Free refills – Buy a £1.50 tea, coffee or hot chocolate and you can get free refills. The deal is available all day, every day.
Check a map – Prices can vary from one location the next, even those close to each other.
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.
Pick-up vouchers – Students can often pick up voucher books in
their local near universities, which offer discounts on food and drink, so keep your eyes peeled.
Get appy – The Wetherspoons app allows you to order and pay for your drink and food from your table – but you don’t need to be in the pub to use it.
Taking full advantage of this, cheeky customers have used social media to ask their friends and family to order them drinks. The app is free to download on the App Store or Google Play.
Check the date – 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 last year it fell on Thursday, September 14.
As well as its 12-day Real Ale Festival every Autumn, Wetherspoons also holds a Spring Festival.
