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 making huge menu change on Friday but not everyone will enjoy it
Wetherspoon is making a major alteration to its pub menus from this Friday as it brings back a favourite item. The pub chain's popular Brunch Burger will be making its comeback to menus on Friday, June 13, due to customer demand, reports However customers will only have a very short window to enjoy it as it's only staying on the menu for one weekend only. READ MORE: I flew with easyJet from Birmingham Airport and got extra legroom without asking Get breaking news on BirminghamLive WhatsApp, click the link to join The return of the Brunch Burger is being rolled out to coincide with Father's Day and will be on offer to customers who visit Wetherspoon pubs from Friday, June 13 until Sunday, June 15 inclusive. The customer-favourite is made of 100% British beef 6oz patty, American-style cheese, maple-cured bacon and a free-range fried egg, topped with a hash brown made from 100% British potato. The burger meal comes with chips, six beer-battered onion rings and a drink. Wetherspoon states it has more than 150 different drinks to choose from, including a range of regional craft beers. The majority of Wetherspoon pubs will be serving the meal over the Father's Day weekend for £9.99, if ordering a soft or non-alcoholic drink, or for £11.52 if ordering an alcoholic drink. Wetherspoon marketing executive James Vaughan said: "The Brunch Burger will return for one weekend only by popular demand. "I am confident that our customers will welcome its return to mark Father's Day." It comes after the pub chain added four new gourmet burgers to its menu last month, including a Cheese Meltdown, the Big Smoke, Buffalo and BBQ Stack. The new additions mean customers now have a choice of seven gourmet burgers to choose from in total, all of which come served with six beer-battered onion rings, iceberg lettuce, tomato and red onion, and chips or a side salad, on request. All of the burgers are made with 100% British beef and come freshly cooked to order, and traceable from farm to fork. Wetherspoon said the average price of a gourmet burger in 343 of its pubs is £10.19 with a soft drink, or £11.72 with an alcoholic drink, but prices may vary by location. Wetherspoon chief executive John Hutson added: "We are always keen to offer our customers the widest choice of good quality meals at value-for-money prices. "We believe the four new burgers will prove popular with a wide range of customers at our pubs."

JD Wetherspoon bringing back Brunch Burger for limited time
The Brunch Burger returned to Wetherspoon pubs across the UK for a limited time back in 2023 after a 10-year hiatus. It has made several brief appearances since then and is returning to menus again in 2025. But you'll have to be quick, as it will only be available for three days. The Brunch Burger will be available for one weekend only, so you'll need to be quick. (Image: JD Wetherspoon) Wetherspoon's Brunch Burger features a 100% British beef patty (6oz), American-style cheese, maple-cured bacon, fried free-range egg and topped with a hash brown made from 100% British potato. The meal includes chips, six beer-battered onion rings and a drink and will cost up to £9.99 (with a soft drink) and £11.52 (with an alcoholic drink). Wetherspoon's Brunch Burger has received high praise over the years, being described as "the best ever". One person, posting on X (formerly Twitter), said: "Brunch burger is the best." Another added: "Brunch burger: best burger ever!!!" "Brunch burger: best burger ever!!! Only £7,50 with a beer" @ The Montagu Pyke (Wetherspoon): #foursquare While a third person commented: "Wetherspoon's Brunch Burger - It. Is. ACEB***S! They should have called it 'Excelsior!'" The Brunch Burger will return to Wetherspoon pubs across the UK and the Republic of Ireland for one weekend only. The burger will be available on Father's Day weekend - Friday, June 13 to Sunday, June 15. The return of the Brunch Burger is not the only change made to Wetherspoon menus recently. In May, the pub chain introduced four new gourmet burgers to its menu: JD Wetherspoon launched four new burgers - The Big Smoke, Buffalo, BBQ Stack and Cheese Meltdown in pubs across the UK last month. (Image: JD Wetherspoon) Wetherspoon chief executive John Hutson said: 'We are always keen to offer our customers the widest choice of good quality meals at value-for-money prices." There have also been various other additions to the pizza, small plates and pub classic ranges at Wetherspoon pubs across the UK. But it's not all been good news for customers, with several menu items axed by Wetherspoons last month.
