Sam Wilder ate at Wetherspoons for a week<\/p>\n
A British food influencer has shared the one thing which let him down after eating at Wetherspoons every day for a week.<\/p>\n
Sam Wilder is a creator who is known for carrying out challenges where he tries to eat just one type of food for a week. He’s previously done food from other popular chains, but this time decided to try out Wetherspoons.<\/p>\n
The pub chain is best known for its cheap booze and toilets you need a map, compass, and flaming torch to find, but Sam found it also offers a surprisingly wide selection of budget food. But there was one thing which simply did not work out.<\/p>\n

Somewhere like Spoons, you know what you’re getting and you can’t really argue with the price.<\/p>\n “The quality is definitely varied among the dishes they serve. But if you’re looking to eat out cheap and cheerfully, then it’s a good place to go.”<\/p>\n The dishes that Sam tried included pancakes with fresh fruit and maple syrup, as well as nachos, halloumi fries and southern fried chicken strips. Other days included a ramen noodle bowl, as well as a gourmet burger.<\/p>\n Sam generally felt lukewarm with the food, though said it was good for a budget. He said: “All of the food wasn’t too bad, but I couldn’t help but think this might be meant for more than one person.”<\/p>\n But there was one dish which stuck out for all the wrong reasons. This was the bangers and mash.<\/p>\n You might think bangers and mash would be a pub staple – you can scarcely get more British than that, after all. But sadly, Sam was left less than impressed with what he was given.<\/p>\n “It’s not good,” he said. “Whoever cooked this definitely left it in the microwave a bit too long.<\/p>\n “It’s way too hot that it has any right to be. It’s a microwave job; it wasn’t properly cooked.”<\/p>\n But it wasn’t all bad, with Sam praising a pasta alfredo with bacon as his favourite dish. “It was the prettiest looking meal I’d had so far,” he said.<\/p>\n “[It] looked absolutely delightful. Zero complaints. The best thing I’ve had.”<\/p>\n He added: “The sauce was really tasty, I like how the bacon is cooked and mixed with it. The bacon is slightly crisp to give it some texture and the rocket helps give it that pepperiness.<\/p>\n “It’s seasoned well. I was honestly happily surprised.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sam Wilder decided to eat at the popular pub chain every day for a week 23:06, 20 Dec…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":327683,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[84,59,30401,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-327682","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-gb","10":"tag-jd-wetherspoon","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom","13":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327682","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=327682"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327682\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/327683"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=327682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=327682"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=327682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Sam](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0_JS391144793.jpg\")
