  1. The chickpea & sweet potato curry is SFV if the naan is swapped out for extra poppadoms! Also, the burrito is too – as far as I’m aware – as long as it’s ordered without cheese and sour cream 🙂

  2. They also do the Sweet Potato curry – if ordered without naan and extra popadoms instead.
    The Jacket Potato with beans is usually found on the children’s menu (and cheaper 🙂 )

    I eat there once a month or so, and for such a huge chain there isn’t much vegan 🙁

      • Because before this there was one vegan option (the chickpea curry without naan. Oh and the chips, but that’s not really a meal) so this is pretty good.

  3. Wetherspoons have a leaflet which lists what’s in each food item, you just need to ask them for it. When I last checked a couple of years ago the veggie burger wasn’t vegan, regardless of the cheese – it had egg in the ingredients.

  4. Omg! The veggie burger form Wheterspoon is not vegan?? They told me that is vegan and I didn’t notice any cheese taste in the burger! I’m really sad because I usually go there with because is cheap… I’m so sad right now..

      • As someone who works there, it isn’t a common question and most members of staff don’t know weather it is or not so will just say yes to keep everyone happy and make life easier for ourselves. we don’t get paid enough to care. Do your own research on the website

        • What a terrible attitude! You should be ashamed of yourself Jessica. Just because you don’t get paid enough, you feel happy to put your customers at risk. I bet you wouldn’t have this attitude if your recklesness came with a huge lawsuit and being fired, would you. But what do I expect? Ethics from someone who can’t even spell properly.

        • I also work at wetherspoons and I can tell you everyone at my pub goes out of their way to find out the answer before telling a vegan they can eat cheese

          I’ll add that you cannot ask for the superfood pasta without the pesto, and I’m pretty sure our bread contains milk powder so don’t order that either!

  5. Just saw you on YG LGBTIQA, love the idea of vegan eating at restaurants 🙂 I generally avoid pubs because it’s rare they do anything vegetarian, let alone vegan

      • You can have the burrito ‘naked’ which means it doesn’t have the three bean chilli in or any other filling – it’s still really nice with rice, chilli sauce and vegetables.

        Also, sorry to say but they have released a new menu now and it doesn’t include the freedom salad anymore 🙁

    • Hi Alba, it looks like these are your options:
      Fresh fruit
      Nachos
      Avocado
      Side salad without dressing
      Corn on the cob without butter
      It also looks like the Poppadums and dips is ok, but only with the mango chutney and salad tomato (no dressing)

      You could bodge a meal out of these, but it wouldn’t be great 🙁

  6. Wetherspoons todayatbrighton Marina

    “Do you have a vegan breakfast?”

    ” Yes it has Veggie sausages ”

    They aren’t vegan what is the vegan option?

    The normal breakfast without bacon

    So it’s. A normal breakfast but with one thing take off?

    Can. We add something. Like a portion of mushrooms ?

    No we don’t do that but.. You can have the egg with it

    Never mind … Are the Vegue burgers Vegan? No cheese no egg no dressing?

    (Look of non comprehension ands look at the screen)

    Yes yes they are no they are vegan

    Ok we will have those …

    Well gee thanks guys be back to see you soon … Or probably not

  7. I think your post sounds far too positive for this lazy and limited selection of vegan food from Wetherspoons. Yes, let’s encourage big chains but really, baked potato and beans, pasta in a plain tomato sauce and nachos with so little else it’s effectively a plate of tortilla crisps, and small portion of chick pea curry, rice and a popadom. Twenty years ago I might have been more impressed.

    • This is very true! But they have gone from being one of the worst vegan places (and insulting vegans) to at least trying! 😉 Maybe the next menu will be much bigger 🙂

  8. BURRITOS AT WETHERSPOONS ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR VEGANS.
    IGNORE WHAT IT SAYS.
    My best friend works in the kitchen for wetherspoons, we went for food there and I asked her if the burritos were nice and she said yes but be careful because they’re not strictly vegetarian let a lone vegan.

  9. Visited a Weatherspoons tonight and they said I couldn’t have the Superfood Salad without pesto as it’s already mixed in.

  10. I work at wetherspoons and we now have a vegan breakfast as well as a humus and roasted vegetable wrap. I’m very excited!! Also, the new gourmet vegetable pizza can be made vegan by removing the cheese (as always).

  11. My Vegan breakfast at wetherspoons in hatfield this morning was served without toast.
    Apparently they had no brown bread to make the toast.
    When I said it was ok to use the white bread, I was told that their white bread is not vegan!
    An extra mushroom and v-sausage was given as an alternative but really, what is in that White bread?
    After the recent baked beans scandal, I’d have thought ‘spoons would have been totally on top of this issue. Apparently not…
    Time for the management to get a serious chef to completely rework this breakfast offering.

  12. Anything deep fried cannot be vegan or even vegetarian as Wetherspoons run their oil through a shared filtration system.

    It also sounds like they cook vegetartain/vegan burgers on the same grill as meat!

    “EQUIPMENT
    Although our fryer vats are separated, they do have a shared oil filtration system. The risk of allergen cross-contamination may occur when oil passes through the filter. In addition, the proximity of food items during cooking on our grills may also lead to cross-contamination.”
