The wetherspoons lunch menu is essentially the full main menu, starting at 11:30am every day. There's no separate lunch menu — everything from the gourmet burgers to the curries to the deli deals is available as soon as the kitchen opens at 11:30am. Breakfast (served from 8am) overlaps for 30 minutes until noon.
For a quick lunch, the Deli Deals (12-inch wraps and paninis) and deli section offer the fastest options. The small pub classics from approximately £7.55 are excellent lunch value. The afternoon deal (Mon–Fri 2–5pm) is particularly good if you can eat late — pub classics with a drink from £8.19.
Pub classic meals with a soft drink: approximately £8.19. With an alcoholic drink: approximately £9.72. Small pub classic meals: £7.03 (soft drink) or £8.56 (alcoholic drink).
There's no separate lunch menu at Wetherspoons — the full main menu kicks in at 11:30am every day, overlapping with breakfast which runs until noon. So "lunch" just means the whole menu is open, which gives you a lot of choice but can make it harder to pick. Here's how I think about it.
For a fast, cheap lunch, the deli wraps are the quickest route — freshly made, with a drink, and the Shawarma or Korean fried chicken wraps are genuinely tasty. The burger deals are the other budget option, with the Korean Fried Chicken Burger at £5.99 including a drink being the standout for value.
If you want something lighter at midday — which I often do, since a heavy lunch tends to write off the afternoon — the ramen noodle bowl at 477 calories or one of the salads are the smart picks. The small pub classics are also ideal lunch-sized portions: a small fish and chips or small brunch gives you a proper plate without the full dinner quantity.
The two best lunch deals depend on timing. If it's a Monday, the small plates deal at 3 for £10 is unbeatable — mix a pizza with a couple of other small plates and you've got a generous lunch for a tenner. And if you can push your lunch later, the afternoon deal from 2pm to 5pm (Monday to Friday) knocks the price down on pub classics with a drink. My practical take: figure out whether you want fast-and-cheap, light, or a proper sit-down feed, and the menu has a clear best-value answer for each. The flexibility is the real strength here — few places give you ramen, a gourmet burger and a curry on the same lunchtime menu.
The other lunch advantage is the app: ordering to your table means you can be in and fed quickly without queuing, which matters on a tight lunch break. Between that, the genuine breadth of choice, and the deals that land at lunchtime, it's a hard place to beat for a midday meal — whether you want to be in and out in twenty minutes or settle in for a proper sit-down lunch with a coffee and a refill.
Across dozens of weekday lunches, my honest conclusion is that Wetherspoons wins on flexibility more than any single dish — few places let you choose between a quick wrap, a light ramen, a proper burger and a curry on the same midday menu, all at prices that leave you change from a tenner on the cheaper options. That range is the real reason it's such a dependable lunch stop.
For a quick, tasty lunch under £7, the Korean Fried Chicken Burger at £5.99 is the go-to. For something lighter, the Ramen Noodle Bowl at £7.69 (477 kcal) or a deli wrap are better choices. If I can time it for the Monday small plates deal, 3 items for £10 including a pizza is genuinely unbeatable. See the full Wetherspoons menu.
