Food shortages have impacted the Wetherspoons food chain once again as the firm has been hit with an egg crisis. The breakfast menu at the UK's largest pub chain has a major limitation for the time being.
The "temporary supply issues" are being blamed on the current impact of avian flu on egg production. Wetherspoons is currently managing it by offering alternatives to their diners while senior supermarket sources have said urgent talks are under way on how to manage the egg crisis.
The alternatives on the Wetherspoons breakfast menu now, according to the Mirror, are currently hash browns, sausage or onion rings. Wetherspoons spokesman Eddie Gershon told The Sun: "We can confirm that there are temporary issues with egg supplies at some Wetherspoon pubs, due to the current impact of Avian flu on egg production.
