A Wetherspoons customer in Aberdeen was left disappointed after receiving a substandard meal at the popular pub chain. The man, who shared his experience on Reddit's Wetherspoons forum, said the chips looked 'incredibly lacking' and the onion rings were 'soggy'. He also noted that the pub no longer seemed to serve pints of juice, though other branches still do.
The customer posted a photo of his burger, chips, and onion rings, which drew comments from other users. Some speculated that the chips might have been oven-cooked rather than fried, possibly due to a broken fryer. One user who claimed to work at Wetherspoons said there had been a 'batch issue' with chips that day, causing them to come out extremely dark and burnt.
Another London-based customer reported similar issues with chips at a Shepherd's Bush branch, saying they were 'awful' and not the usual fried chips. The original poster said the burger patty was slightly burnt but still decent, while the onion ring was disappointing. However, some commenters thought the meal looked fine and questioned the complaint.
Wetherspoons has been contacted for comment. The company's website states it is committed to sourcing the best-quality ingredients and offering a mix of traditional British meals and international dishes.
