Wetherspoons previously revealed it was axing steaks, mixed grills and gammon from its menu in pubs across the UK in May.
A JD Wetherspoon spokesperson, in a statement, said: “Wetherspoon is making changes to its menu in May.
“This includes the removal of steaks, mixed grills and gammon.”

The spokesperson added: “We appreciate that some customers will be disappointed with the decision to remove steaks and grills.
“Wetherspoon is confident that its menu provides a variety of choices and value-for money meals.”
When will steaks, mixed grills and gammon be removed from Wetherspoons menus
Steaks, mixed grills and gammon are set to be removed from Wetherspoon menus across the UK on May 14.
The decision to remove these three items has not gone down well amongst Wetherspoon customers.
One person, posting on X (formerly Twitter), described the news as “devastating”, while another said they “feel like crying”.
A third person commented: “Are Wetherspoons steaks going to be taken off the menu? You guys don’t understand how many times it lured us into the pub and we ended up having much more.
“This is the biggest marketing mistake ever. I won’t be going until it comes back.”
