Pontefract and Castleford Wetherspoons axing 44 menu items, including curries and steaks, when pubs reopen in April

Curries, mixed grills and steaks are all off the menu when Wetherspoon reopen across the country on April 12.

Instead, chains will be running a reduced list of meals when they open again so that staff can socially distance.

If you're missing sitting inside your local Wetherspoons you will have to wait until May 17. Diners can also use the Wetherspoons app to check out the prices of meals and drinks, which vary by branch.

Wetherspoon spokesman Eddie Gershon told The Sun: "We can’t wait to open our pubs with outdoor areas in England on April 12 and also in Scotland a few weeks later.

"We will be serving a fantastic menu throughout the day. We are reducing the menu slightly initially and look forward to offering the full menu in due course.

"Even with the reduced menu there are dozens of meals for customers to choose from."
