Wetherspoon is loved by Brits for its cheap pints and hearty pub grub – but one worker has now revealed what they think the “freshest” dish on the menu is. And it might surprise you
A Wetherspoon employee revealed what they think the “freshest” food from the menu is – and it might be a bit of a shocker.
When you pop into a Spoons, it’s all about those wallet-friendly beverages and hearty British eats. Some ex-staff have taken to social media before, hinting that certain items on the menu are prepped in advance and not whipped up fresh.
But Macey Newberry, who was slinging pints for the beloved boozer at the time of her confession, hopped onto TikTok to dish out her advice on the top choice for a Wetherspoons munch.
Under the alias @bigmacnew, she touted the steak as the “freshest” choice because kitchen staff slap each one on the grill as your order hits.
Her go-to is the medium rare gourmet steak teamed with chips, peas, some greens and topped off with a peppercorn sauce kicker, claiming her intel comes straight from the inner circle of Spoons, according to the Express.
Macey disclosed: “I probably shouldn’t be telling you this because it is a bit of insider information from working in Spoons. This, in my opinion, or to the textbook is the freshest meal Wetherspoons makes.”
Although the steak alone will create a £13 dent in your pocket, it’s still mighty cheap when you weigh it against fancier joints.
Wetherspoons worker Macey admitted while your steak and chips are made hot off the press, she claimed other sides get zapped in the microwave.
She said: “You just can’t go wrong with a steak meal, you know what you’re getting, you know you’re going to enjoy it – so get it.”
Opinions in the comments section were split, with one viewer noting: “Spoons steaks are really hit and miss. I’ve has some awful ones, some pretty decent ones as well. But for £10/15 you really can’t grumble.”
Another chimed in: “Next date night me and my bird will treat ourselves to a Spoons steak.”
