Pub chain Wetherspoon has revealed its ‘reduced menu’ for when it will reopen hundreds of venues next month.

Bosses have announced 394 of its pubs will welcome customers back to their respective beer gardens on April 12.

The lockdown rules are due to be eased from this date to allow pubs and restaurants to serve food and drink outdoors.

Wetherspoon has released details of its ‘reduced menu’ which will sadly mean as many as 44 regular items will not be on offer.

Bosses say the full menu will return once all of its pubs are allowed to reopen and serve food inside.

Among the meals cut from the menu are curries, chicken and ribs, most salads and pasta dishes, steak meals and pies.

And in a blow for regulars, both the bacon butty and all-day breakfasts will be missing from the menu too.

Thankfully though, a fry up will still be available in the mornings.

Wetherspoon spokesman Eddie Gershon told The Sun : "We can’t wait to open our pubs with outdoor areas in England on April 12 and also in Scotland a few weeks later.

"We will be serving a fantastic menu throughout the day. We are reducing the menu slightly initially and look forward to offering the full menu in due course.

"Even with the reduced menu there are dozens of meals for customers to choose from."

Wetherspoon will be reopening seven of its pubs in Essex from April 12, including The Elms in Leigh, The Parsons Barn in Shoebury, The Blue Boar in Billericay, The Bottle Kiln in Harwich and The Battesford Court in Witham.
