One soft drink has faced the chop too – The Dalstons Rhubarb.

But, as is common for restaurant, bar and pub chains, a number of new drinks items have been added to Wetherspoon’s menu as part of the menu shake up.

New world beers, spirits and liqueurs, as well as no and low-alcohol drinks and soft drinks are now available for customers.

Meanwhile, two new vodkas and a new rum have also been added to the drinks menu.

Punters can also get their hands on Corona Cero and Thatchers Zero low alcohol drinks, and a Passion Fruit Cooler 0% cocktail, as well as a Monster Energy Ultra Peachy Keen soft drink.

It comes after Spoons also changed its food menu offering, rolling out 10 new items on May 1.

Customers can now get their hands on Ramen noodle bowls, Shawarma chicken wraps and three new breakfast items, including American-style pancakes.

The Ramen noodle bowl features noodles, bean sprouts, shiitake mushroom, spring onion, pak choi, bamboo shoots, red onion, sliced chillies and coriander in a broth.

The dish is vegan and low-calorie (466kcal), with customers able to add a poached egg or grilled chicken breast for an extra charge.

The range includes a small vegetarian brunch wrap (fried egg, two vegan sausages, cheddar cheese), southern-fried chicken (salad leaves, smoky chipotle mayo) and small fried halloumi-style cheese (salad leaves, sweet chilli sauce, tomato, cucumber).
