J.D. Wetherspoon has announced plans to remove steaks, mixed grills and gammon from its menu in favour of new gourmet burgers and Korean-style dishes.
The pub chain confirmed that several staple dishes – including its Tuesday Steak Club deal – will be replaced from May 14.
However, Wetherspoon bosses said they are “confident” that their menu still provides a “variety of choices”.
Diners shared their “disappointment” at the changes, particularly the end of the Steak Club deal which currently runs from 11.30am to 11pm on a Tuesday. It includes a steak and soft drink for £9.67, or upgrade to an alcoholic drink for £11.20.

Many customers complained about the changes, with one X user writing: “I prefer a nice steak dinner when I go out, I for one will not be going to Wetherspoons ever again!!”
Another added: “Absolutely gutted about Wetherspoon removing the steak off the menu.”
While another said: “Oh no. I love a ‘spoons steak night…a bit upset about this.”
In a statement, the company confirmed the menu changes, saying: Wetherspoon is making changes to its menu in May.
“This includes the removal of steaks, mixed grills and gammon (May 14).
“A new range of Gourmet Burgers will be introduced; The Big Smoke, Buffalo Burger and Cheese Meltdown, on Wednesday, May 14.
“There will also be a range of Korean-style chicken meals added.
