I have to say I was mightily impressed on my last visit to Wetherspoon because they are so transparent with what is in their food. On the wall in the particular one I went to was a touch screen where you could search for any meal on the menu and it broke it down, ingredient by ingredient, and listed EVERYTHING used in the dish. I was even more delighted to find that this information was accessible from home via their website here.Â
To view a meal, open it using the 'information' symbol (blue 'i) on the right-hand sign and then expand the 'Ingredients' section using the plus sign on the right-hand sign (see left).
You can also search for what meals are available at the Wetherspoon you plan to visit, too.
