Wetherspoons reveals menu shake-up adding new burger – and fans will be thrilled

WETHERSPOONS has made a change to its menu with a new burger and it’s bound to be a fan favourite.

The pub chain has introduced the Korean crunchy chicken strip burger to its main meal offering.

Fans Wetherspoons‘ popular food menu will be no doubt be eager to try the new item.

It will be joining other popular burgers including the triple American cheese and bacon burger and the fried buttermilk chicken burger.

The new staple includes two crunchy southern-fried chicken strips, iceberg lettuce, a gherkin and Korean-style sauce.

And it’s accompanied by a lightly toasted brioche bun.

Together, when served with a small portion of chips, the meal has 712 calories.

If you’re buying it with a soft drink it will cost you £5.44.

If you fancy a pint with your meal then it’ll cost slightly more at £6.97.

But Wetherspoons said the burger is only around for a limited time.

The Sun has asked the chain how long the burger will be available for, and we’ll update this article once we hear back.

However, prices for the new burger will vary from pub to pub so it’s always best to check your local before paying.

You won’t find the burger on print out menus or online but it is available to order at the bar or on the Spoons app.

Compared to the price of the fried buttermilk chicken burger which is already on the menu, the new offering appears to be a little cheaper with a soft drink.

The original costs £5.15 with a soft drink and £6.45 with an alcoholic one.
