I tried Wetherspoons' new menu and it tasted better than KFC and Honest Burger
TUCKING into a juicy burger, I could've been in a posh chain like Honest Burger - but I was sat in Wetherspoons trying its new menu. The pub chain is adding posh burgers to its menu from tomorrow May 14 and I was surprised by how delicious they were. Advertisement 7 I got to try out the new gourmet burger menu before it launches on May 14 Credit: Paul Edwards 7 The new burgers are the Big Smoke, Cheese Meltdown, Buffalo and BBQ Stack Credit: Paul Edwards 7 Each of the burgers comes with onion rings and either chips or a salad as a side Credit: Paul Edwards There are four burgers to choose from - the Cheese Meltdown, the BBQ beef-filled Big Smoke, the spicy Buffalo chicken burger and the plant-based BBQ Stack. They cost £10.19 with a soft drink or £11.72 with an alcoholic drink - cheaper than you would get at a chain like Honest Burger, which costs £11.95 for a burger and side and extra for a drink. The chicken burger was way better than anything you'd get at KFC or McDonald's and everything seemed like very good value for money. That's especially as they all come with a side of onion rings and either chips or a salad. Advertisement More on Spoons Here's what I thought of each one... Cheese Meltdown 7 The Cheese Meltdown has either beef or chicken with a slice of American cheese and an emmental and cheddar cheese sauce Credit: Paul Edwards The aptly-named Cheese Meltdown is quite literally covered in a melted cheese sauce. It was messy to eat - but tasted great. Advertisement You can get this either with fried buttermilk chicken or a beef patty, but I tried the beef version. Most read in Money If you go for beef it's 732 calories or 839 if you get chicken. Some people might find it a little too rich, but as a cheese lover I really enjoyed the strong flavour here. 4.5/5 Advertisement Buffalo 7 The Buffalo features fried buttermilk chicken, Naga chilli sauce, American cheese and a blue cheese sauce Credit: Paul Edwards If you like your burgers with a slight kick, this one's for you. The Buffalo comes with fried buttermilk chicken topped with Naga chilli sauce, American cheese, and a delicious blue cheese sauce. Then to top it all off (quite literally) it comes with a chicken wing nestled on the burger bun. Advertisement The Naga chilli sauce had just the right amount of spice - enough to give it a bit of a zing but not so much that I had to reach for my bottle of water. It was also balanced nicely with the creamy blue cheese sauce at the bottom. The fried buttermilk chicken was nice and crispy, and I was impressed by the chicken wing too which had a slight citrus flavour. I'm personally a fan of a chicken burger and this one was a winner for me - although I actually preferred the beef burgers, but I think that's down to preference. Advertisement This one is 819 calories. 4/5 Big Smoke 7 The Big Smoke comes with either beef or fried chicken and is topped with pulled BBQ beef brisket, American style cheese and maple cured bacon Credit: Paul Edwards I wouldn't have guessed it beforehand but this was hands-down my favourite. Advertisement Like the name suggests, this burger is full of rich smokey BBQ flavours. You can choose either a thick beef patty or fried buttermilk chicken, which is topped with pulled BBQ beef brisket, American style cheese and maple cured bacon. I thought the combination of three different meats would be too much for me but the flavours combined wonderfully. The bacon was crispy (as it should be) and the BBQ sauce was the perfect combination of sweet and smokey. Advertisement Again it's a little messy, but it's worth it. Bear in mind, though, this one is the most calorific at 1,170 kcal with beef or 1,310 kcal with chicken. 5/5 BBQ Stack 7 The BBQ Stack has a plant-based patty, onion rings and a sweet and smokey BBQ sauce Credit: Paul Edwards This burger is TALL. I was a bit unsure of how to tackle the three thick onions sitting on top of the plant-based patty that's drizzled in smokey BBQ sauce. Advertisement But after squishing it down, I managed it. I think the burger could have been a little dry if it didn't have the BBQ sauce - something that I've found can be a problem with plant-based burgers. I liked the crispiness of the onion rings and again the BBQ sauce had the perfect sweet and smokey flavour. This was my least favourite of the four options, but I think as far as vegetarian burgers go it's pretty decent. Advertisement Plus, it's the least calorific at 439 kcal. 3/5 How often does Wetherspoons change its menu? Wetherspoons makes changes to its menus several times a year to give it a refresh and compete with rivals. As well as introducing its new gourmet burgers, the pub chain is also bringing in a range of Korean-style chicken meals. Advertisement However it's also scrapping some customer favourites. Steaks, mixed grills and gammon will be gone from the menu on May 14. A spokesperson said these were the "biggest loss-makers" and the chain is " confident that its menu provides a variety of choices and value-for- money meals ".

Major shortage of one of UK's favourite sweets after Marks & Spencer cyber attack
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PERCY Pigs have been squished by the Marks & Spencer cyber attack. The ever-popular pink sweets were hard to find in shops yesterday as the chain's IT systems have been crippled for more than a week. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Percy Pigs are missing from Marks & Spencer shelves due to the cyber attack Credit: Paul Edwards 4 The popular sweets are a favourite among customers Signs next to bare shelves, which carried just a few veggie and low-sugar varieties, read: 'Please bear with us while we fix some technical issues affecting product availability.' Percy Pig fans, who buy 16million bags a year, are furious. One posted online: 'Lads, s**t just got real.' Another said: 'This isn't just a cyber attack — it's an M&S cyber attack.' The firm has battled to keep stores open since a hack began at Easter weekend. However, it has had to shut off some computer systems, which has hurt its supply chain. Staff are doing sales reports by hand, making it hard to get products from warehouses. Wine, beer, drinks and chilled meats have been unavailable in some stores, along with the Percy Pigs and Colin the Caterpillar sweets and cakes. Staff confirmed the shortages were caused by the cyber attack. After photos circulated on social media of shelves without certain drinks and products — ranging from prepared chicken to salads and dips — an M&S spokeswoman yesterday confirmed that there were 'pockets of limited availability' in stores. Marks and Spencer are recruiting 100 Percy Pig mega fans to decide on the future of the sweet The shortages mean fresh headaches for M&S, which is already losing tens of millions of pounds in online sales because it has suspended orders via its website and app since last Friday. The firm had tried to contain the hack by suspending contactless payments and click and collect orders but the criminals are deep within its IT systems. It is working with an army of experts, including from the National Cyber Security Centre and Scotland Yard.
