Overview

  • JD Wetherspoon will remove steaks, mixed grills, and gammon from its menus across the UK starting May 14 due to rising meat costs.
  • The chain has also temporarily pulled its £6.49 chicken bites, though it remains unclear if this item will return.
  • New menu additions launching on May 14 include gourmet burgers such as The Big Smoke and Cheese Meltdown, as well as Korean-style chicken dishes.
  • The decision comes as Wetherspoon aims to address increased operational costs, including higher meat prices and recent national minimum wage hikes.
  • Customer reactions have been mixed, with some expressing disappointment over the removal of longstanding favorites like steaks and chicken bites.
