JD Wetherspoon Drops Chicken Wings Basket From All Pubs

The pub chain said it cut the basket as part of a cost-driven menu overhaul to eliminate loss-making dishes

Overview

  • The Chicken Wings Basket was removed on May 14 and has now been permanently taken off menus across the UK.
  • Chicken wings remain available as a small plate and within the chain’s “wings, strips and bites” promotion.
  • Customers praised the basket, which included crispy wings, coleslaw and sauces, as “outstanding and great value.”
  • The change followed the axing of steaks, mixed grills and gammon in response to rising wholesale meat and wage costs.
  • New gourmet burgers and a Korean-style chicken range stay in place alongside select item reinstatements and ongoing price adjustments.
