Pub giant JD Wetherspoon has launched its highly anticipated festive menu across all UK establishments, marking a significant seasonal update for customers. However, the revamp comes with a notable omission for regulars, as two previous favourites have been axed from the offering.
What's New on the Festive Menu?
The Wetherspoon festive range is available from now until December 31, presenting punters with an array of Christmas-themed bites and complete meal deals. The centrepiece is a traditional roast dinner featuring four slices of turkey breast accompanied by pork, sage and onion stuffing, roasted Chantenay carrots and parsnips, Maris Piper mash, two pigs-in-blankets, peas, cranberry sauce, and gravy.
In a cheesy triumph, the popular big cheese burger makes a welcome return. This year, the chain has amplified the flavour by introducing an Emmental & Cheddar cheese sauce on the side. The burger itself remains a hearty combination of a Brie-topped patty, two halloumi fries, and chips, with a choice of burger type.
Missing Items and Vegan Options
Despite the extensive new lineup, fans will be disappointed to find that the big cheese pizza and the chocolate-orange Espresso Martinis are missing from this year's selection.
For those seeking alternative options, the menu introduces a new vegan mushroom & garlic burger, joining returning favourites like the Brie & bacon burger and the chicken & stuffing burger. Cheese lovers can also indulge in the festive loaded chips, smothered in Emmental & Cheddar cheese sauce, pigs-in-blankets, and served with cranberry sauce for dipping.
Sweet Treats and Final Details
To complete the festive feast, Wetherspoons offers two decadent desserts. Patrons can choose between a warm cookies & cream blondie—a gooey white chocolate brownie packed with white chocolate and crushed cookie pieces, served with vanilla ice cream—or a giant profiterole filled with vanilla cream, covered in Belgian chocolate sauce, and garnished with a fresh strawberry.
A key highlight for value-seeking customers is that all festive meals and Deli Deals include a drink, with the choice of a soft or alcoholic beverage. The new Brie & garlic mushroom pizza is also available in both an 11-inch format with a drink and an 8-inch version as part of the small-plates range.
