Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WETHERSPOONS is shaking up its menu today – and fans of steaks and grills won't be happy. From Wednesday, May 14, the pub giant will be ditching three major dishes – steaks, mixed grills and gammon – in a shock menu overhaul.

The move comes as bosses aim to freshen up the food offering and cut back on items branded 'loss-makers' after meat prices shot up. In an email sent to staff, Wetherspoons chief John Huston confirmed that the meats were being ditched 'after much debate', as part of a planned menu change. But in their place comes a 'mouthwatering' new selection, with Wetherspoons confident customers will lap it up. Here's what you can expect from today. What's being axed? From May 14, the following dishes will vanish from menus nationwide: All steaks Mixed grills Gammon The dishes have long been Wetherspoons staples, but have reportedly become too expensive to keep serving. What's new on the menu? In their place, a gourmet burger trio will land on plates across the UK – and it's not your average pub grub. The Big Smoke – Pulled BBQ beef brisket, American-style cheese and maple-cured bacon. Buffalo Burger – Fried buttermilk chicken breast with blue cheese, naga chilli sauce and melted cheese. Cheese Meltdown – American cheese layered with gooey Emmental and Cheddar cheese sauce.

Other Wetherspoons news 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. There are also veggie options available, which is served between 8am and midday. Meanwhile tea and toast, which comes with two slices and either jam or marmalade, is just £2.49. It's not been all good news for Wetherspoons punters in recent months though. The pub chain exclusively revealed to The Sun in January it had increased the price of a host of drinks and meal deals by up to 30p. The chain hiked prices on drinks by 15p while meal deals were bumped up by 30p. The price rises saw the cost of a Guinness at the London and South Western branch in south west London go from £4.66 to £4.81. Meanwhile, the price of a Strongbow increased from £3.24 to £3.39.

Wetherspoon fans fume as pub chain quietly axes popular menu item nationwide
Wetherspoon fans have shared their upset online after the pub chain quietly axes a popular menu item across hundreds of its branches. The pub chain recently confirmed that its Chicken Bites are "temporarily unavailable" in all its pubs. Priced at just £6.49, you can get 10 breaded chicken bites, chips, and a variety of sauces. The confirmation came after fans noticed the menu item hadn't been available at their local Spoons for a few weeks. One person rececntly posted to Reddit: "Where have the Chicken breast bites gone?! They've disappeared from my local spoons menu, not greyed out like they would if out of stock, completely removed in all forms." Another social media user said: "They've been out for ages now. Infuriating!" A third added: "Sounds pretty serious, hopefully it's not too much and they're back soon, my fiancé lived on them." Wetherspoons has now confirmed the move, with a spokesperson saying: "We can confirm that they [chicken bites] are currently not available on the menu in our pubs." Although the pub chain says the item is "temporarily" unavailable. It is unclear whether iut could make a return. Fans shared their disappointment online with one customer posting: "Rip Wetherspoons chicken bites. It's the worst day ever." However, it is not the only thing to have been axed from Wetherspoon menus recently. Last week, the pub chain announced that it was cutting steak, mixed grills and gammon from its pub menus as part of a cost-cutting plan.

The items will be removed from menus from May 14, however, on the same day it will also be introducing a few new menu items too - a range of gourmet burgers.
