Wetherspoons introduces gourmet burgers and Korean-style meals

Wetherspoons is planning to change its menu significantly in May, introducing new gourmet food options. Fans of Korean cuisine will be excited about the arrival of Korean-style chicken meals, which will be available starting May 14. At the same time, the pub chain will remove several items from its menu. Popular choices like steak, mixed grills, and gammon will no longer be available due to rising meat costs and low profitability. A Wetherspoons spokesperson confirmed the changes, stating that the company aims to offer a variety of choices while maintaining good value for customers. Along with the Korean chicken, Wetherspoons will introduce a new selection of "gourmet burgers." These will include three unique flavors: The Big Smoke, featuring pulled BBQ beef brisket; the Buffalo Burger, with fried buttermilk chicken and blue cheese; and the Cheese Meltdown, topped with multiple cheeses. Despite these changes, some customers may feel disappointed, especially those who enjoyed the previously available meat options. Wetherspoons management emphasized that the decision followed careful consideration and aimed to enhance the menu's overall appeal. Additionally, Wetherspoons recently launched a £2.99 breakfast deal and announced a price increase for drinks and meal deals, with some prices rising by up to 30p. For example, the price of a Guinness has gone up from £4.66 to £4.81.
