JD Wetherspoon bringing back Brunch Burger for limited time
The Brunch Burger returned to Wetherspoon pubs across the UK for a limited time back in 2023 after a 10-year hiatus.
It has made several brief appearances since then and is returning to menus again in 2025.
But you'll have to be quick, as it will only be available for three days.

Wetherspoon's Brunch Burger features a 100% British beef patty (6oz), American-style cheese, maple-cured bacon, fried free-range egg and topped with a hash brown made from 100% British potato.
The meal includes chips, six beer-battered onion rings and a drink and will cost up to £9.99 (with a soft drink) and £11.52 (with an alcoholic drink).
Wetherspoon's Brunch Burger has received high praise over the years, being described as "the best ever".
One person, posting on X (formerly Twitter), said: "Brunch burger is the best."
Another added: "Brunch burger: best burger ever!!!"

While a third person commented: "Wetherspoon's Brunch Burger - It. Is. ACEB***S! They should have called it 'Excelsior!'"
The Brunch Burger will return to Wetherspoon pubs across the UK and the Republic of Ireland for one weekend only.
The burger will be available on Father's Day weekend - Friday, June 13 to Sunday, June 15.
The return of the Brunch Burger is not the only change made to Wetherspoon menus recently.
In May, the pub chain introduced four new gourmet burgers to its menu:

(Image: JD Wetherspoon) Wetherspoon chief executive John Hutson said: 'We are always keen to offer our customers the widest choice of good quality meals at value-for-money prices."
There have also been various other additions to the pizza, small plates and pub classic ranges at Wetherspoon pubs across the UK.
But it's not all been good news for customers, with several menu items axed by Wetherspoons last month.

Wetherspoon set to open 15 new pubs across UK (and one is coming this month)
Steaks, mixed grills and gammon were removed from pub menus across the UK on May 14.
This came after JD Wetherspoon was forced to remove its £6.49 chicken bites from the menu.
The Wetherspoon staple features 10 crispy chicken bites, chips and an array of sauces, but was previously listed as "temporarily unavailable" on menus.

‘Bold rewiring' of economy needed as Tories seek to regain trust, Stride says
In a speech on Thursday, Mel Stride is expected to promise the Conservatives will 'never again' make offers they cannot afford as the party seeks to forge a 'credible' financial plan for the future. Taking aim at both Labour and Reform UK, the Tory frontbencher will accuse Chancellor Rachel Reeves of 'fiddling the figures' by changing her definition of national debt, and warn that 'populism is not the answer'. Liz Truss's 2022 mini-budget spooked the markets and led to a spike in mortgage rates (Jacob King/PA) Addressing the legacy of the 2022 mini-budget under Ms Truss's premiership, which spooked the financial markets and led to a spike in mortgage rates, Mr Stride will say: 'For a few weeks, we put at risk the very stability which Conservatives had always said must be carefully protected. 'The credibility of the UK's economic framework was undermined by spending billions on subsidising energy bills and tax cuts, with no proper plan for how this would be paid for.' In a furious response, Ms Truss has accused Mr Stride of having 'kowtowed to the failed Treasury orthodoxy' and being 'set on undermining my plan for growth'. The shadow chancellor will claim that the Tories acted swiftly to restore stability, but the party's credibility would take longer to recover. 'That will take time, and it also requires contrition,' he is expected to say. 'So let me be clear: never again will the Conservative Party undermine fiscal credibility by making promises we cannot afford.' Ahead of the Chancellor's spending review next week, her opposite number will accuse her of 'abandoning' financial responsibility. Ms Reeves has two self-imposed 'fiscal rules' – funding day-to-day spending through taxation and for debt, measured by the benchmark of 'public sector net financial liabilities' (PSNFL), to be falling as a share of GDP. She has insisted these constraints are 'non-negotiable' amid wrangles with Cabinet colleagues over departmental budgets ahead of next week's announcement. Chancellor Rachel Reeves has said her fiscal rules are 'non-negotiable' (Peter Byrne/PA) Mr Stride will say: 'At the spending review next week, we can expect her to trumpet all of the additional projects and programmes she is funding – without mentioning the fact it is all being paid for from borrowing.' Attacking Nigel Farage's Reform party after its gains in the local elections last month, the shadow chancellor will say: 'Take Reform. Their economic prescription is pure populism. It doubles down on the 'magic money tree' we thought had been banished with Jeremy Corbyn.' During the speech in central London, he will say the two 'core priorities' for the party will be 'stability and fiscal responsibility', with control of spending and reform of welfare and public services. He will add: 'And a bold rewiring of the British economy – to unleash growth, productivity, and opportunity across the country.' Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has said that the comeback she anticipates for the party will take time as it seeks to avoid 'rushing' into policy commitments. Mr Stride will insist modern politics requires more 'thoughtfulness', with the Conservatives planning to spend the next four years forging a 'credible' plan to return to government. 'We will need to take our time if we are to forge a credible plan that delivers for the people of our country,' he will say. 'Over the next four years, our party will do just that.' Since being ejected from Number 10 after just 49 days in office, Ms Truss has conceded her plan to quickly abolish the 45p top rate of tax went too far, but otherwise defended her failed bid to boost growth. Responding to the Tory announcement on Thursday, she said: 'Mel Stride was one of the Conservative MPs who kowtowed to the failed Treasury orthodoxy and was set on undermining my Plan for Growth from the moment I beat his chosen candidate for the party leadership. 'Even when judged by the OBR's flawed calculations, my plans were chalked up as costing less than the spending spree Rishi Sunak pursued as Chancellor during the pandemic – yet Mel Stride never took him to task over any of that. 'And why has he singularly failed to examine the role played by the Bank of England in causing the LDI crisis that sent gilt rates spiralling? Why has he never asked the pertinent questions of the Governor, despite the Bank since admitting that two-thirds of the gilt spike was down to them? 'My plan to turbocharge the economy and get Britain growing again provided the only pathway for the Conservatives to avoid a catastrophic defeat at the election.' She added: 'Until Mel Stride admits the economic failings of the last Conservative Government, the British public will not trust the party with the reins of power again.' Reform's deputy leader Richard Tice said: 'We'll take no lectures on economics from a party that more than doubled the national debt, raised taxes and government spending to 70-year highs and shrank economic growth to 70-year lows. 'Meanwhile, we unearth Tory-run councils wasting £30 million on a bridge to nowhere. They can never be trusted again.' The Liberal Democrats accused the Conservatives of attacking Mr Farage's party for 'the same fantasy economics' they had pursued 'while secretly plotting a pact with them' as they branded the speech 'absurd'. Deputy leader Daisy Cooper MP said: 'It's insulting that the Conservatives think a few warm words will fool people into forgiving them for all the damage they did to the economy and people's livelihoods. 'Families are still reeling from the Conservatives' lockdown law-breaking and still paying the price after their mini budget sent mortgages spiralling. 'Now the Conservatives have the cheek to criticise Reform UK for the same fantasy economics while secretly plotting a pact with them: it's absurd.'

UK must tackle energy bills as firms face £24bn in extra costs
Rain Newton-Smith, chief executive of the business group, will tell business leaders and politicians at the CBI's business dinner on Thursday that sky-high energy costs are an 'anchor on our ambition'. At the event in London, she will call on the Government to come up with a 'serious plan' to cut energy costs and invest in energy security to help make the UK and businesses more competitive. The CBI said almost 90% of British businesses have seen their energy bills rise over the past three years, with a third seeing them rocket by more than 50%. Four in 10 firms are reducing investment as a result, according to the group. Higher energy bills come on top of significant increases in staff costs, with the CBI estimating the recent rise in national insurance contributions (NICs) and past three minimum wage hikes since 2023-24 is costing companies an extra £24 billion each year. Ms Newton-Smith will say: 'Business is now straining under £24 billion in extra costs per year. 'That's more than the cost of Crossrail. More than the Home Office budget – on business, every year.' She will add: 'With costs running so high, there is one issue we absolutely must tackle. 'Without it, any industrial strategy, any serious plan for economic security will fall flat on its face. Energy.' She will say the rising cost of energy 'isn't just a cost issue'. 'It's a jobs issue. An investment issue. A security issue. 'Because how can UK business compete with one hand tied behind its back – and the other straining to keep the lights on? 'This is an anchor on our ambition. A crack in our economic security. And it must be fixed.' Britain is becoming less competitive for business and industry due to expensive energy, with firms finding it 'harder and harder to stay in the UK' when power is far cheaper abroad, according to the CBI. Ms Newton-Smith will warn UK firms 'pay among the highest electricity bills in the world – 50% more than France or Germany, four times more than the US and Canada'. The CBI is making a plea to the Government to remove policy costs from electricity bills, but it also wants it to focus on low-carbon energy to help achieve economic security. Its recent economic report showed the UK net zero economy grew 10% and supported 900,000 jobs. Ms Newton-Smith will say: 'If economic security is our destination, then make no mistake: affordable, reliable, low-carbon energy is the road that gets us there, 'What we need now is a serious plan alongside the industrial strategy: to cut energy costs, to manage the shift from fossil fuels, to boost efficiency, storage and system flexibility. 'This Government has already shown it can put prosperity over politics on the world stage. Well now it must do the same for energy at home. 'Because this isn't about culture wars. It's about common sense.' A Government spokesperson said: 'Through our sprint to clean power, we will get off the rollercoaster of fossil fuel markets – protecting business and household finances with clean, homegrown energy that we control. 'We are already bringing energy costs for key UK industries closer in line with other major economies through the British industry supercharger – saving businesses £5 billion over the next 10 years.'
