The bargain boozer has revealed that The Brunch Burger is going to be back on menus. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Wetherspoons is bringing back its Brunch Burger for Father's Day weekend The American-style burger is making a return on Father's Day weekend, which takes place from Friday June 13 to Sunday June 15. The burger returned two years ago after a ten-year hiatus and it was a fan favourite at the time with punters calling it "legendary". This is the third year in a row that Spoons is bringing the much loved meal back. It's made up of a three ounce beef patty, American-style cheese, maple-cured bacon, free-range fried egg and is topped with a hash brown. The meal is £9.99, including a soft drink and chips or £11.52 if you want to add an alcoholic beverage. Last year, the meal cost £7.73 with a soft drink and £9.26, if you added booze. It is likely that prices will vary from pub to pub, so check in with your local to see how much you will be charged. It is also worth noting that airport, train station, service station and NEC Birmingham pubs are excluded from the Father's Day offer. To find your nearest Wetherspoons head over to the website and use its handy locator tool. It comes as the chain has shaken up its menu in recent weeks, with a number of popular menu items axed. The Sun tries Wetherspoons' new menu Two weeks ago, the budget pub chain stopped serving steaks, mixed grills and gammon. The dishes have long been Wetherspoon staples, but have reportedly become too expensive to keep serving. In an email sent to staff, Wetherspoons chief John Huston confirmed that the meats were being ditched 'after much debate', as part of a planned menu change. But it's not all bad news as the chain has welcomed a number of new menu items including three new beef burgers. You can check out the new menu change here. What else is happening at Wetherspoons? Late last week, Spoons closed a beloved pub in Coventry. The Spon Gate in Coventry was a favourite among locals and closed for good on May 25. Two other Spoons still serve the city with The Flying Standard and The Early of Mercia remaining in operation. The Spon Gate was a favourite among locals though and was called the "best" city centre pub. Elsehwere, 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 is served between 8am and midday.

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.

Wetherspoon fans fume as pub chain quietly axes popular menu item nationwide
Wetherspoon fans have shared their upset online after the pub chain quietly axes a popular menu item across hundreds of its branches. The pub chain recently confirmed that its Chicken Bites are "temporarily unavailable" in all its pubs. Priced at just £6.49, you can get 10 breaded chicken bites, chips, and a variety of sauces. The confirmation came after fans noticed the menu item hadn't been available at their local Spoons for a few weeks. One person rececntly posted to Reddit: "Where have the Chicken breast bites gone?! They've disappeared from my local spoons menu, not greyed out like they would if out of stock, completely removed in all forms." Another social media user said: "They've been out for ages now. Infuriating!" A third added: "Sounds pretty serious, hopefully it's not too much and they're back soon, my fiancé lived on them." Wetherspoons has now confirmed the move, with a spokesperson saying: "We can confirm that they [chicken bites] are currently not available on the menu in our pubs." Although the pub chain says the item is "temporarily" unavailable. It is unclear whether iut could make a return. Fans shared their disappointment online with one customer posting: "Rip Wetherspoons chicken bites. It's the worst day ever." However, it is not the only thing to have been axed from Wetherspoon menus recently. Last week, the pub chain announced that it was cutting steak, mixed grills and gammon from its pub menus as part of a cost-cutting plan. The reason for the move is due to the increased cost of meat, which has made the menu items the company's "biggest loss-makers'. The items will be removed from menus from May 14, however, on the same day it will also be introducing a few new menu items too - a range of gourmet burgers.
