Pub giant JD Wetherspoons is set to remove a host of its popular festive dishes from menus across the UK in the coming days, dealing a blow to fans of its seasonal offerings.
Last orders for Christmas classics
The fan-favourite chain will wave goodbye to 15 Christmas menu items shortly after New Year's Eve, as reported by The Sun. Customers hoping for one final taste of the limited-time offerings will need to visit their local 'Spoons promptly, as the items are scheduled to disappear imminently.
Among the casualties are several cult classics that have featured on the winter menu. These include the Brie and garlic mushroom pizza and the mushroom and garlic burger. The iconic 'Spoons Christmas dinner, complete with all the trimmings, is also on the chopping block.
What's being removed from the menu?
The festive feast facing the axe is a substantial plate. The Christmas dinner traditionally includes four slices of turkey breast, pork, sage & onion stuffing, roasted Chantenay carrots and parsnips, Maris Piper mash, two pigs-in-blankets, peas, cranberry sauce, and gravy.
For those less inclined towards a full roast, the Big Cheese burger has been a popular alternative. This burger features a patty of choice topped with Brie slices and two halloumi fries, finished with a side of Emmental and Cheddar cheese sauce.
Other items set to vanish include:
- The giant profiterole dessert
- Brie & bacon burger
- Chicken & stuffing burger
- Festive loaded chips
- Various paninis and wraps
Prices for these items have ranged from £8.99 to £15.52, depending on whether a soft or alcoholic drink was included. It is crucial to note that both availability and pricing can vary from one Wetherspoons branch to another, so checking with your local pub is advisable.
Time is running out for festive favourites
The removal of these items marks the end of the chain's seasonal offering, nudging menus back towards their standard, year-round selection. The move is a standard practice for the pub group post-Christmas, but it always prompts a rush from customers eager for a final taste.
Earlier in the season, BirminghamLive conducted reviews of some of these festive items, delivering mixed verdicts on certain dishes. Now, patrons have only a narrow window to make up their own minds before the 15 menu items are gone for good.
If you're planning a visit to enjoy a last-minute festive meal, it's recommended you act quickly. The full list of disappearing delights serves as a final call for fans of Wetherspoons' Christmas classics.
