A popular British content creator has left viewers amazed after documenting his attempt to eat exclusively at the pub chain Wetherspoons for three consecutive days. The YouTuber, known as Just Deano, undertook the culinary marathon to see if he could survive on the budget-friendly menu, and the final cost left him utterly floored.
The Three-Day Wetherspoons Menu Breakdown
Over the course of 72 hours, Deano sampled a range of meals from breakfast to dinner, including seasonal specials. His total expenditure for the entire challenge came to just £44.38. He noted this averaged out at roughly £14.80 per day, a figure he argued was impressive for eating out for every meal. "It would have been more if I had three meals each day but it was physically impossible," Deano admitted, citing the generous portion sizes.
Day One: A Festive Pizza Steals the Show
Kicking off at The Richard Oastler in Huddersfield, Deano started with a classic fry-up costing a mere £2.99. He defended the chain's breakfast, calling it "decent and consistent" for the price. However, the lunchtime meal was the undisputed highlight. A festive pizza topped with turkey, stuffing, and brie, priced at £7.96 with a soft drink, was hailed as "phenomenal." Deano later declared it the best dish of the entire three-day experiment.
Day Two: A Mixed Verdict on the Christmas Dinner
Still full from the pizza, Deano skipped dinner on day one but was determined to complete a full trio of meals on day two. He began with a fruit and yoghurt pot for £3.49, followed by a British beef and pancetta lasagne for £6.97, which he praised for its value. The evening's main event was a Christmas dinner with a pint of Guinness at The Cherry Tree, costing £12.52. This meal proved underwhelming, with Deano criticising undercooked vegetables and stating he wouldn't choose it again, firmly placing the festive pizza ahead in his rankings.
Day Three: Bargain Wraps and Puddings
After the substantial meals of the previous days, Deano skipped breakfast on the final day. For lunch at The Lord Wilson in Huddersfield, he enjoyed a Shawarma chicken wrap and a Monster drink for just £6. His final dinner was a hearty steak and ale pudding with a soft drink for an astonishing £4.65, which he labelled an "absolute bargain."
Value for Money Defends the Pub Chain
Reflecting on the challenge, Deano became a vocal advocate for the chain's pricing, especially for solo diners. "People slate Wetherspoons... but the value here... You can spend £6.09 on a pint! And here you get your tea with it," he mused. He urged viewers to always check the specials board, naming the festive pizza the standout dish "without a shadow of a doubt."
The video, shared online in early December 2025, resonated with viewers who agreed on the value proposition. One commenter wrote, "I would be happy with that food any day of the week, great value," while another noted the wide choice at reasonable prices, albeit pointing out that not every branch offers the same specials.
