1. Mexican Monday
Back in the day, Mondays meant something special at Wetherspoons – a fiesta on your plate at a price that made the start of the week bearable.
Mexican Monday brought nachos, burritos, enchiladas, and loaded plates of Tex-Mex goodness that filled you up without emptying your wallet.
The deal was unbeatable, and it turned the quietest pub night into a busy one.
Fans still reminisce about those cheesy, spicy Monday evenings, wishing the promotion would make a comeback.
2. Sunday Roast Dinners
Nothing says Sunday quite like a proper roast, and Wetherspoons used to serve them up with all the trimmings at a fraction of what other places charged.
Crispy roast potatoes, tender meat, Yorkshire puddings, seasonal veg, and lashings of gravy made it a weekly tradition for countless families.
When it disappeared from the menu, regulars were gutted.
Many still argue that Wetherspoons did one of the best value Sunday roasts on the high street, and they'd love to see it return.
3. Drive Thru Burger
Burgers are a pub classic, but the Drive Thru Burger stood out for its size, flavour, and sheer value for money.
Stacked high with a beef patty, cheese, salad, and a generous helping of sauce, it came with chips and made for a proper feast.
It was the kind of meal that left you satisfied and ready for a sit-down, not a race to the next stop.
Regulars still recall it fondly, wishing it would reappear on the menu.
4. Hot Dogs
Sometimes the simplest dishes are the most missed, and Wetherspoon's Hot Dogs proved that point perfectly.
Served in a soft bun with your choice of toppings, they were quick, tasty, and ideal for a light bite or a snack between rounds.
Kids loved them, and adults appreciated the no-fuss option when they weren't in the mood for a full meal.
Their disappearance left a gap that hasn't quite been filled, and fans still ask why they were ever taken off.
5. The Mixed Grill
If you wanted a plate piled high with everything under the sun, The Mixed Grill was your answer.
Sausages, bacon, steak, eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, and chips all came together in one glorious, gut-busting feast that challenged even the heartiest appetites.
It was a carnivore's dream and a brilliant way to get maximum variety in one sitting.
Since it vanished, regulars have mourned the loss, calling it one of the best value meals Wetherspoons ever offered.
6. Chicken Tikka Masala
Britain's favourite curry found a home at Wetherspoons, and Chicken Tikka Masala became a reliable choice for those craving something warm, spicy, and comforting.
Served with rice, naan, and a side salad, it offered a taste of the curry house without the hefty price tag.
The creamy, tomato-based sauce paired perfectly with tender chicken, making it a midweek treat for countless diners.
Its removal left curry lovers disappointed, and many still hope it might return one day.
7. BBQ Ribs
Sticky, smoky, and finger-licking good, BBQ Ribs were a messy delight that made any meal feel like an event.
Served with chips and coleslaw, they were generous in portion and packed with flavour, offering a taste of American-style comfort food right on the British high street.
Regulars loved them for special occasions or just when they fancied something a bit different.
Since their departure, fans have repeatedly asked for their return, missing that smoky, saucy goodness.
8. Chicken Chow Mein
For a quick, satisfying meal that hit the spot every time, Chicken Chow Mein was a go-to choice for many Wetherspoon regulars.
Loaded with noodles, tender chicken, crunchy veg, and a savoury sauce, it offered a taste of the takeaway without leaving the pub.
It was simple, filling, and priced so well that it became a midweek favourite.
Since its removal, fans have been vocal on social media, asking for its return and lamenting the loss of this reliable comfort dish.
