The pub chain has launched a new Christmas menu, and so my family and I headed to our local Wetherspoons to give it a go. I was impressed by one dish in particular.

As the festive season approaches, eateries and pubs are rolling out their Christmas menus for food enthusiasts to sample. Last week, the well-liked pub chain Wetherspoons unveiled its latest festive menu, boasting a range of unique dishes as well as a traditional roast dinner.
On a brisk Sunday afternoon, my family and I headed to the pub to sample most of the offerings. We shelled out approximately £65 on six dishes, which included two different burgers, a pizza, the roast dinner and two desserts.
Below, I’ve ranked the Wetherspoons meals. Discover which dish left us all gobsmacked and craving more.
Here’s my honest review on six dishes from their Christmas menu6. Chicken, stuffing, bacon and brie pizza – £11.52
Wetherspoons is renowned for its assortment of thin-crust pizzas, so when I spotted the new Christmas-themed pizza, I was eager to give it a go. The blend of brie cheese with chicken, bacon and stuffing sounds fantastic; however, it fell short.
I was anticipating an explosion of taste from the stuffing, complemented by the meaty and succulent chicken and bacon chunks, but this was all drowned out by the cheese and rocket topping.
The pizza was rather tasteless, which was incredibly disappointing, as theoretically, the ingredients should complement each other. Perhaps there needed to be more toppings on the pizza for it to truly stand out, but sadly, this wasn’t the case.
5. The Big Cheese Beef Burger – £10.89
My cousin opted for the big cheese beef burger. When we deliberated over the ranking of the meals, she implored that I place this burger at number five, as she didn’t enjoy it in the slightest.
She expressed that it was overly dry, and the ‘Emmental & Cheddar cheese’ sauce (bearing a resemblance to a Béchamel sauce) wasn’t to her liking, leading her to order an additional barbecue sauce to compensate.
The burger also ranks relatively low on the list, and it seemed the least festive among all the dishes. However, she did appreciate the halloumi fries and the steak-cut chips.
The buttermilk chicken and stuffing burger 4. Buttermilk chicken & stuffing burger – £10.89
My main course for the visit was the Buttermilk chicken and stuffing burger. This burger was extremely dry. It was accompanied by a side of cranberry sauce, which was insufficient for the large, bland, and crispy breaded chicken.
I ended up shelling out 99p for some extra gravy, but this didn’t improve things much. Inside the burger, you’ll find a large stuffing patty, a few strips of bacon, a tomato, a few strands of lettuce, and onions.
The highlight of the meal was the pigs in blankets on top (you can never go wrong with that) and the chips. I reckon if you’re a fan of pork, sage and onion stuffing, then you might enjoy this burger more than I did, as I prefer stuffing without pork.
3. Giant profiterole – £5.58
Wetherspoons’ Christmas menu currently only features two desserts: the giant profiterole and a cookies and cream Blondie with ice cream.
The profiterole was pleasant and refreshing. It boasted a ripe strawberry and delectable chocolate sauce. The pastry was light and fluffy, making it easy to slice through with a spoon.
My only grumble was that there was a bit too much cream, but for all the profiterole aficionados out there, this might not be an issue. This pudding was made even more scrumptious with a pot of toffee sauce.

In second place is the turkey roast dinner. It was so tasty that my brother couldn’t resist licking his lips throughout the meal.
The feast included a few slices of turkey breast, pork, sage and onion stuffing, carrots, garden peas, parsnips, mashed potatoes, pigs in blankets, cranberry sauce, and gravy.
My brother declared the mash as the star of the dish due to its incredibly smooth and creamy texture. The parsnips were steamed to perfection, and the carrots were beautifully roasted.
His only gripe was that the peas were slightly undercooked. He relished the gravy, noting that it had a hint of sweetness. In less than 10 minutes, he had polished off his plate with a grin.
1. Cookies and cream blondie – £5.58
The standout dish of the entire experience, and the one I highly recommend, is the gooey and decadent Cookies and Cream Blondie.
Even if you’re not a fan of sweets, this dessert is phenomenal. It arrived perfectly warm, accompanied by a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream to balance out the white chocolate brownie and cookie pieces.
It was gooey, crunchy, and every mouthful was a delight. As soon as we took a bite, we all exclaimed: “Wow.” We then had a moment of silence for the slice of heaven we just experienced. 10/10.
