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.
The Sun tries Wetherspoons' new menu
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.

Holidaymakers warned that airport strikes could disrupt summer getaways
Holidaymakers heading through Glasgow Airport this summer may face disruption as over 800 workers across five companies could strike over pay disputes. Unite the union has announced that staff at Glasgow Airport Ltd, ICTS Central Search, Swissport, Menzies Aviation, and Falck may be balloted for industrial action. The union stated on Saturday that unless the disputes are resolved in the coming days, it will proceed with holding industrial action votes within two weeks. This could lead to potential walkouts during the peak summer travel season. It warned strikes could 'ground planes and passengers'. Pat McIlvogue, Unite industrial officer, said walkouts could be held from the middle of July. More than 100 Swissport workers are locked in a dispute about rotas and work-life balance, according to Unite. It said the company 'is demanding that workers at extreme short notice have to work shifts at various times and for various durations, which is directly impacting on their personal lives'. Unite said some Swissport staff are 'struggling with chronic fatigue'. A further 250 ICTS Central Search workers, who deal with passengers directly in the security search area and process them for flights, are currently involved in a dispute over under-staffing, working conditions and pay. A total of 120 workers employed by Glasgow Airport Limited have rejected a basic 3.6% pay increase, with staff including airport ambassadors, airside support officers, engineers and managers involved. The same 3.6% pay increase was rejected by 50 Falck firefighters who perform fire safety functions at the airport. Meanwhile 300 Menzies Aviation workers, including dispatchers, allocators, airside agents and controllers, have rejected a basic uplift worth around 4.25%. The union recently announced a series of what it said were wage wins for 100 North Air workers across Scottish airports, and more than 140 staff based at Glasgow Airport employed by ABM and OCS. Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: 'Hundreds of workers at Glasgow Airport are heading towards summer strike action which would ground planes and passengers. 'The companies involved are all highly profitable and can easily afford to give our members better pay and working conditions. 'The truth is that they are denying fair pay increases to cynically boost their profits.' Mr McIlvogue said: 'Unite is in dispute with companies at Glasgow Airport which could ultimately bring hundreds of workers out on strike. 'The companies can resolve these disputes with Unite before that situation happens by addressing the legitimate concerns and pay aspirations of our members. 'If the companies refuse to work with Unite to resolve these disputes, then we will have no option but to open strike ballots. This could mean strike action happening from the middle of July.' A spokesperson for Swissport said: 'We are in dialogue with Unite – the talks so far have been constructive and we remain focused on working together to address the issues being raised.'

I'm a single mum and wanted to give the stairs in my rented house a new look – I'm on a strict budget & did it for £35
SHE wanted to give her staircase a new look, but rents her home. So after getting permission from the landlord, Megan decided to get started on the makeover - which she managed to complete for just £35. 6 6 She began by leaving a strip down the middle of the stairs bare, and headed to her local IKEA to pick up some of their £2 Tiphede runners. When she got home, she got started by cleaning off the stairs, before she started attaching the rugs to the steps. After getting them in the perfect position, she used a heavy duty staple gun to attach them onto the stairs. And once she'd finished, the rugs looked like a perfect, professional and expensive stair runner. "Changing the stairs on my private rented property with permission from my landlord," Megan wrote over the top of the video. "Single mum on a budget style!" And she added in the caption: "I love it when a vision comes to life….now I just need to go accessory shopping. "This whole project has cost me around £35 in total. Now that's what you call DIY on a budget!" People in the comments section were quick to praise Megan for the transformation, with one writing: "Well done, looks amazing!" "It looks stunning! You've done amazing!" another added. "What is the tool your using to tack the runners in place babe?" "Thank you so much, it's been a long few days," Megan replied. "It's just a heavy duty staple gun." "Well worth the effort, looks great," a third praised. "That is amazing, fair play to you," someone else commented. "It's beautiful - ready for your next project." Home upgrades that add the most value to a house The best renovation to add value totally depends on your property, the local market and your potential buyers. Zoopla shared a list of upgrades that will instantly add value to your home. Loft conversion - increase of 15% Off-street parking - adds £50,000 to property price New kitchen - increase of 15% Garage conversion - increase of 15% Cellar or basement conversion - increase of 10-15% Open plan living space - increase of 3-5% New bathroom - increase of 3-5% "Gorgeous! Love this, well done!" another wrote. "I work in Ikea... that's great use of the Tiphede runner rug," someone else said. "It looks stunning," another added. "In the middle of doing our stairs - could you please tell me how you managed to get a neat line up your stairs for the paint? "I'm so close to chucking the brush!" To which Megan replied: "Masking tape but remove it whilst the paint is still wet". "I did something similar and I swear trying to keep them clean is a nightmare! It will be a daily task!" someone else commented. With Megan responding: "I have 5 children, I'm always cleaning anyway!" "Came out really nice..." another said. 6 6

Sustainable Switch Climate Focus: Europe boosts water preservation efforts
June 6 - This is an excerpt of the Sustainable Switch Climate Focus newsletter, where we make sense of companies and governments grappling with climate change on Fridays. To receive the full newsletter in your inbox for free sign up here. Hello! Happy World Environment Day! Although this year's World Environment Day focuses on plastic pollution in our waters, today's focus touches on a wider issue – the preservation of water ecosystems. This week, the European Investment Bank pledged to invest 15 billion euros ($17 billion) in projects that help reduce water pollution, prevent water wastage, and support innovative businesses in the water sector over the next three years. The commitment by the European Union's lending arm is part of the bloc's strategy to tackle water shortages and droughts made worse by climate change, and address the intense pressure on water supplies from farming, pollution and sprawling urbanisation. Meanwhile, Britain also said it would step up efforts to protect its water resources ahead of the summer, after the driest and warmest spring in England in over 130 years. The Environment Agency (EA) said reservoirs across England were only 77% full, compared with the average 93% for this time of year. It noted, though, that recent rain at the start of June was having a positive effect. "It's been the driest spring since 1893, and we need to be prepared for more summer droughts as our climate changes," the group's chair and the EA's director of water, Helen Wakeham, said. Wakeham also said recent rainfall was helping, but that it hadn't been enough to prevent a drought being declared in the northwest of England. Additionally, Britain banned Thames Water and five other water companies from paying bonuses to their bosses because they had failed to tackle pollution, in its latest effort to overhaul the industry's poor environmental record. The government has said the water industry in England and Wales is broken, with Thames Water at the centre of a scandal after years of under-investment resulted in sewage spills, while it continued to make profits and pay executive bonuses. Be sure to keep scrolling for a video in our 'What to Watch' section about plastic pollution in Brazil's Rio dos Bugres that ties in with the World Environment Day theme. And also check out yesterday's Sustainable Switch, which highlighted a story about the scientists in Japan who have developed a plastic that dissolves in seawater within hours in the ESG Spotlight section. Click here to revisit that Reuters article. What to Watch Sticking with the World Environment Day theme of plastics, a new study has found that Brazil's Rio dos Bugres has one of the world's highest concentrations of microplastic pollution. Its findings are raising concerns among scientists and local fishermen. Click here for the full Reuters video. CLIMATE COMMENTARY CLIMATE LENS The use of artificial intelligence is driving up global indirect emissions, according to a United Nations report. Indirect carbon emissions from the operations of four of the leading AI-focused tech companies, Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet and Meta, rose on average by 150% from 2020-2023, as they had to use more power for energy-demanding data centres, a report by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the U.N. agency for digital technologies, said.
