Wetherspoon worker names the ‘freshest’ thing you can order from the menu

For patrons seeking the freshest meal at the Wetherspoon pub chain, insider knowledge suggests a prime menu choice. Known for its affordable drinks and classic pub food, Wetherspoon is a popular dining destination. However, online commentary from former employees has raised questions about the preparation of some dishes. Now, a former Wetherspoon staff member has stepped forward to reveal her recommendation for the most reliably fresh option.

Wetherspoon Employee Recommends Steak for Optimal Freshness

Macey Newberry, previously an employee at the well-known pub establishment, has shared a video detailing her suggestion for customers seeking the freshest meal. In a TikTok post under the username @bigmacnew, Newberry disclosed that the steak is consistently cooked to order, ensuring a higher level of freshness compared to other items.

Gourmet Steak Designated as Freshest Choice

In her video, Newberry ordered a gourmet steak cooked medium-rare, accompanied by chips, peas, vegetables, and peppercorn sauce to illustrate her point about the steak’s freshness.

“I probably shouldn’t be telling you this because it is a bit of insider information from working in Spoons,” the content creator admitted in her video.

“This, in my opinion, or to the textbook, is the freshest meal Wetherspoon make,” she asserted, highlighting the steak as a standout option for diners.

Price and Value of the Recommended Meal

While starting at £13, the steak is positioned as one of the pricier selections on the Wetherspoon menu. Despite this, it remains a competitively priced option when compared to similar dishes in many other pubs and eateries.

Preparation Details and Customer Reactions

Steak Cooked to Order, Sides May Vary

Newberry explained that while the steak and chips are prepared to order, some accompanying items like sauce and vegetables are microwaved. Despite this, she maintains a positive view of the dish, stating, “You just can’t go wrong with a steak meal, you know what you’re getting, you know you’re going to enjoy it – so get it.”

Mixed Reactions from Diners Online

The revelation sparked varied reactions in the comments section. Some users expressed agreement and shared their own experiences, with one commenter noting: “Spoons steaks are really hit and miss. I’ve had some awful ones, some pretty decent ones as well. But for £10/15 you really can’t grumble.”

Another commenter expressed enthusiasm, stating: “Next date night me and my bird will treat ourselves to a Spoons steak,” indicating the recommendation had resonated with some viewers.

However, not all responses were positive. One commenter humorously criticised the medium cooking preference displayed in the video, saying: “Mate medium??? That’s fully grey and looks like the bottom of my shoes,” demonstrating a range of opinions on steak preparation and quality at Wetherspoon.
