JD Wetherspoon to remove 12 items from pub menus – full list

The popular pub chain launched its 2025 festive menu on November 12, which included sliced turkey breast and winter vegetables, a brie and bacon burger, and a cookies and cream blondie.

The festive menu has been available in all of Wetherspoon’s more than 800 pubs across the UK.

Full list of items being removed from Wetherspoon’s menus in the coming days

However, the festive menu is only available until December 31, meaning the 12 items that are part of it will be removed from all pub menus in time for the new year.

Why are so many UK pubs closing?

The 12 items on Wetherspoon’s 2025 festive menu, which will be removed after December 31, are:

• Sliced turkey breast and winter vegetables
• The Big Cheese burger
• Festive loaded chips
• Brie and garlic mushroom pizza
• Brie and bacon burger
• Chicken and stuffing burger
• Mushroom & garlic burger
• Chicken, stuffing, bacon and cranberry panini (Deli Deal)
• Brie and cranberry panini (Deli Deal)
• Southern-fried chicken and stuffing wrap (Deli Deal)
• Cookies and cream blondie
• Giant profiterole

Several other items have been axed from Wetherspoon’s menu in 2025, including steaks, mixed grills, and gammon, which were all permanently removed on May 14.

Wetherspoon’s £6.49 chicken bites were also “temporarily unavailable” earlier this year, but eventually made a comeback.

The pub chain did not reveal why they were temporarily removed from menus.
