Glasgow Wetherspoons customers baffled by pub's new menu prices

Customers have been left baffled by the new menu at a Glasgow branch of Wetherspoons.

A viral TikTok has caused confusion after it appeared to show the new prices of food and drink at the pub.

The customer showed a copy of the menu and odd pricing for basic items including soup at £4.03 and nachos at £5.54, reports the Daily Star.

It also shows a side of cheesy chips for £5.16, which follows the company announcing a 7.5 per cent increase on all menu items earlier this year.

The TikToker, food vlogger Brodies Bites, said: “Can someone please explain what on Earth has happened to Wetherspoons prices?

"We went to Spoons on the way home from Glasgow the other night just to grab something to eat because we had been drinking and realised we hadn't actually eaten yet.

“The point of this video is because for the first time in ages we've been to Spoons and normally it's like £1.29 for coleslaw, £10.59 for a burger and a drink - what the hell is this?

"£4.03 for soup, £5.54 for nachos - like what? £5.27 for a panini and a drink - what is actually going on?

“It continues throughout the whole menu, such bizarre pricing and even the side dishes, it's 81p for a side of chilli and £4.03 for chips, like I just don't understand it.”

This prompted outrage and confusion from commenters on the video.

Many questioned why the prices don't end with “zero or five” while some slammed the chain for such a huge hike.

According to the Mirror, the price of some menu items at some pubs have increased by as much as £2, for example, the British Steak & Kidney Pudding with soft drink going from £5.55 to £7.63, or the Chicken Tikka Masala with an alcoholic drink which has risen from £9.70 to £10.43.

However, after a bit of digging, the Daily Star found that several branches of the pub chain appear to have much lower prices.
