OTHER SPOONS NEWS
Spoons is bringing back The Brunch Burger for the Father's Day weekend, from Friday to Sunday.
It returned two years ago after a ten-year hiatus and was a fan favourite at the time with punters calling it "legendary".
Last month, Spoons also closed a beloved pub in Coventry - The Spon Gate.
Elsewhere, Spoons also launched a £2.99 breakfast deal in February, with customers able to get a breakfast muffin or small breakfast with soft or hot drink.
There are also veggie options available, which are served between 8am and midday.
The Sun also exclusively revealed in January Spoons had upped the price of a host of popular drinks and menu items across its pubs.
The chain bumped up prices on drinks by 15p while meal deals were increased by 30p.
The price rises saw the cost of a Guinness at the London and South Western branch in south west London go from £4.66 to £4.81.
Meanwhile, the price of a Strongbow increased from £3.24 to £3.39.
How can I save money at Wetherspoons?
PUB-GOERS love Wetherspoons for its competitive pricing and low-cost meals - but did you know there are more ways to save money?
Senior consumer reporter Olivia Marshall explains how.
Free refills - Buy a £1.50 tea, coffee or hot chocolate and you can get free refills. The deal is available all day, every day.
Check a map - Prices can vary from one location the next, even those close to each other.
So if you're planning a pint at a Spoons, it's worth popping in nearby pubs to see if you're settling in at the cheapest.
Choose your day - Each night the pub chain runs certain food theme nights.
For instance, every Thursday night is curry club, where diners can get a main meal and a drink for a set price cheaper than usual.
Pick-up vouchers - Students can often pick up voucher books in
their local near universities, which offer discounts on food and drink, so keep your eyes peeled.
Get appy - The Wetherspoons app allows you to order and pay for your drink and food from your table - but you don't need to be in the pub to use it.
Taking full advantage of this, cheeky customers have used social media to ask their friends and family to order them drinks. The app is free to download on the App Store or Google Play.
Check the date - Every year, Spoons holds its Tax Equality Day to highlight the benefits of a permanently reduced tax bill for the pub industry.
It usually takes place in September, and last year it fell on Thursday, September 14.
As well as its 12-day Real Ale Festival every Autumn, Wetherspoons also holds a Spring Festival.

The UK's most beautiful Greggs reveals new restoration after 18 months
Plus, the town also has one of the prettiest Wetherspoons in the UK ON A ROLL The UK's most beautiful Greggs reveals new restoration after 18 months Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A GREGGS in the UK has been dubbed the most beautiful and it has revealed a huge restoration. Greggs in Abbeygate Street, Bury St Edmunds is housed in a 17th century Grade II* listed building and is often titled as the prettiest Greggs in the UK. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Greggs in Abbeygate Street, Bury St Edmunds is housed in a 17th century Grade II* listed building Credit: Google Work on the bakery store started back in 2023 and included fixing the roof and rebuilding the front facade. The historic building's facade features wood paneling and blends Tudor, Georgian, Victorian and 1930s features. And to restore the spot to its former glory, the timber doors were carefully restored after becoming faded. Before it was a Greggs bakery, the location used to be long to Oliver & Son - a grocer and tea dealer. The grocer is believed to have been established in the late 1700s and stayed in Bury St Edmunds until the 1960s. Taking to Reddit, one user claimed that they had found " the countries poshest Greggs" in Bury St Edmunds. Another user dubbed it "Ye Olde Greggs", whilst a third joked, "so Diagon Alley now has a Greggs" - comparing the spot to something out of Harry Potter. According to the East Anglian Daily Times, Tony Rowson from Greggs said: "Emmerson Critchley did a fantastic job of tastefully reconstructing the features of this shop, to ensure a modern feel whilst keeping the essence of this historical building for the local community." It is hoped the restoration work will be a "good fix for probably 100 years". And this isn't the only beautiful location in the town though, with another Reddit user revealing: "You should see the town's Wetherspoons…" I went to the UK's biggest Wetherspoons with rooftop bar overlooking the beach The Corn Exchange - also located on Abbeygate Street - is in a Grade I listed 19th century building. The venue first opened as The Corn Exchange in 1862 and Wetherspoons refurbished the building in 2011. Many of the original features still remain, including a grand exterior. On the first floor, the pub features a room with a long marble bar and a domed glass ceiling too. One recent visitor said: "The converted Corn Exchange looks like a Grecian palace, relaxed atmosphere, spacious surroundings." 3 Often dubbed the most beautiful Greggs in the UK, the site recently underwent a 18-month restoration project Credit: Greggs Bury St Edmunds is believed to have inspired author Charles Dickens as well. The town is mentioned in the opening of Dickens' novel Pickwick Papers, including the Angel Hotel - where the Victorian author had previously stayed. The town was also chosen as a set for the 2019 film The Personal History of David Copperfield - an adaptation of another of Dickens' stories. 11 of the prettiest Wetherspoons across the UK have also been named. Plus, Britain's most beautiful pubs for 2025 have been revealed from historic beer houses to cosy village bars.

Do we really need state-funded restaurants?
Two British cities, Dundee and Nottingham, have been chosen as trial sites for a new government scheme to be piloted next year: state-subsidised restaurants. The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology has put up £1.5 million for the 12-month trial, initiated by the campaign group Nourish Scotland. If the restaurants are successful, they'll be rolled out across Britain – nourishing us all – with a subsidised meal for £3. Inspired by second world war state-funded canteens, they're going to be called 'Public Diners' – clever branding, with its quasi-American vibe. Their branding matters because – as anyone who ever ate greasy slop from a tray at a state-run stolovaya in Soviet Russia remembers – no-frills, state-funded restaurants are intrinsically drained of glamour. Today's fastidious British public will require a touch of coolness to entice them in. Winston Churchill also understood that branding mattered. When those state-funded canteens got going in 1940, he decreed that their name, 'communal feeding centres', was 'an odious expression, redolent of communism and the workhouse'. At one stroke, he transformed their image by branding them 'British Restaurants'. 'Everyone,' he said, 'associates the word 'restaurant' with a good meal.' The slogan for the new Public Diners on Nourish Scotland's website is 'an idea whose time has come'. 'They are a holistic food system intervention: for public health, climate and the right to food.' (So we're going to be preached at in noun-lumps, as well as fed.) If all goes to plan, we'll soon see these new, climate-friendly, taxpayer-subsidised diners, inspired also by Turkish public restaurants, Mexican public dining rooms and Polish milk bars. Are those countries really now our economic role models? It doesn't give one much confidence in how things are going. Hospitality entrepreneurs and executives are neither pleased nor impressed. These diners are 'a ludicrous idea,' says Hugh Osmond, co-founder of Pizza Express. Luke Johnson, chairman of Gail's, says the idea that state-backed restaurants could operate more efficiently than the private sector is 'beyond a joke'. You can see why they're worried. Life is tough enough for restaurant owners – hit with ballooning, government-enforced overheads – without this new undercutting from state-funded establishments. But you could argue that commercial restaurants have only themselves to blame. Their prices have rocketed far more steeply than people's pay. In the last ten years, the cost of a Pizza Express 'Margherita' pizza has gone up from £7.55 to £14.95. If the British salary had kept pace with the increasing price of a Margherita, it would have risen from £27,600 to £53,000 – whereas in fact it's £37,500. There may well be a need for 'somewhere where all of us can eat without stretching the budget'. 'What could possibly go wrong?' hospitality executives are wondering as they wait for the pilot branches of the diners to open. A contract to run them is expected to be tendered later this year. Though the restaurants themselves will be not-for-profit, the caterers who run them will be expecting to make money – as will the providers of the fittings and the produce. Governments don't have the best reputation when it comes to not being ripped off during the procurement process. The issue of precisely what food to serve is also going to be a minefield. Nourish Scotland's consultation exercise 'showed that there are plenty of challenges ahead when it comes to deciding on what food should be served in a Public Diner'. We're no longer the unfussy wartime population who gratefully scoffed a plateful of boiled cabbage and mashed potato. The food served in those wartime British Restaurants had three chief attributes: it was soft (designed for a nation with a high proportion of false teeth), bland (designed to avoid tummy upsets) and filling (designed to fatten up a thin population). Today's populace won't be so willing to eat up whatever's put in front of them. They'll expect their individual health- and religion-based dietary requirements to be respected. An added complication is that, far from aiming to fatten up the population, this new scheme aims to tackle obesity. The scheme also requires the food to be locally sourced, to fulfil the climate aspect of its brief. As Jeremy Clarkson showed us in the latest series of Clarkson's Farm, locally sourced food is expensive. How will that work, economically, for the taxpayer? It'll be fun seeing what dishes the various branches do decide to serve – and whether the scheme sparks a revival of distinctly British regional food. I hope the Dundee branch offers the local dish Cullen skink (smoked haddock and potato soup with milk), and the Nottingham one Sherwood Forest venison and stilton. Are Public Diners really 'an idea whose time has come', or are they in fact an idea whose time is long gone? The scheme's brochure celebrates, with some nostalgia, those morale-boosting wartime British Restaurants which brought everyone together. There was indeed a great charm about them. Kenneth Clark's wife Elizabeth arranged to borrow paintings from Buckingham Palace to hang on their walls, to cheer everyone up. Today's utopian ideal is that strangers will meet and make friends over their plates of spicy chickpea and potato tagine – and that this will be a new way of falling in love IRL rather than online. But British Restaurants had their moment – and that moment has gone. The government withdrew financial responsibility for them in 1949, and they dwindled away after rationing ended in the mid-1950s. The free market took over, and competitive hospitality businesses survived – or closed down – accordingly. Is this scheme really the best way to spend taxpayers' money? Essentially, those who don't go to the restaurants will be subsidising those who do. Surely our taxes would be better spent teaching schoolchildren how to fry an onion and make a cheap pasta sauce at home. This government is so much better at thinking of new ways of spending our money than of saving it.
