Milk

Wetherspoons dishes without milk listed

Tips

How to order safely with a food allergy at Wetherspoons

  • Plan before you go

    Check the app for your chosen pub so you arrive with a shortlist of suitable dishes.

  • Keep it simple

    Dishes with fewer components and no sauces are easier to check and have fewer hidden allergens.

  • Ask about fryers

    If you avoid gluten, fish or crustaceans, ask whether chips and sides share a fryer with battered items.

  • Check every component

    Sides, sauces, toppings and drinks each carry their own allergens. Check them all, not just the main.

  • Avoid assumptions

    A vegetarian or vegan label does not mean allergen free. Plant based dishes can contain gluten, soya or mustard.

  • Carry your medication

    If you have a severe allergy, keep your prescribed medication with you whenever you eat out.

Questions

Wetherspoons allergen questions

Does Wetherspoons have an allergen menu?
Yes. Wetherspoons publishes allergen information for its standard menu through the Wetherspoon app, in-pub information screens and staff at the bar. You can filter dishes by allergen in the app. This page summarises the allergen data tracked on SpoonsMenu so you can compare menu sections before you visit.
What is the most common allergen on the Wetherspoons menu?
Cereals containing gluten is the most common allergen in the data tracked on SpoonsMenu, listed for 62 of 99 items. Milk and eggs follow. This reflects the amount of bread, batter, breadcrumbs, cheese and sauces used across burgers, breakfasts, pizzas and desserts.
Does Wetherspoons do gluten free food?
37 items tracked on SpoonsMenu do not list cereals containing gluten as an ingredient allergen. However, Wetherspoons kitchens use shared fryers and preparation areas, so no dish can be guaranteed gluten free. If you have coeliac disease, speak to staff and check the official allergen information before ordering.
Is Wetherspoons safe for coeliacs?
Wetherspoons does not claim that any dish is safe for people with coeliac disease, because of cross contamination risks from shared equipment and an open kitchen. Some dishes do not contain gluten as an ingredient. Check the app, tell staff about your condition and make your own informed decision.
Are Wetherspoons chips gluten free?
Chips themselves are made from potatoes, but they are typically cooked in shared fryers that may also be used for battered or breaded items. That creates a cross contamination risk. Check the current allergen information in the app or ask staff at your pub before ordering chips if you avoid gluten.
How do I check allergens at Wetherspoons before ordering?
Open the Wetherspoon app, choose your pub and use the allergen filter to hide dishes containing your allergen. You can also use the in-pub information screens or ask a member of staff, who can access the full allergen data and involve a manager if needed. Check every visit because recipes can change.
Does Wetherspoons have nut free options?
No tree nuts or peanuts are listed for the items tracked on SpoonsMenu, but that does not mean the kitchen is nut free. Some desserts, sauces and seasonal specials may contain nuts, and suppliers can change ingredients. Always tell staff about a nut allergy and check the current information before ordering.
Is there a risk of cross contamination at Wetherspoons?
Yes. Wetherspoon kitchens handle all 14 major allergens and use shared equipment such as fryers, grills and preparation surfaces. Wetherspoons cannot guarantee that any dish is free from a particular allergen. If you have a severe allergy, inform staff before ordering and consider whether the risk is acceptable for you.
What happens if I customise my Wetherspoons order?
Removing a sauce, swapping a side or adding an extra changes the dish from its published recipe, so the allergen information may no longer match. Tell staff about your allergy whenever you customise an order so they can check the ingredients of every component you are getting. Changes may also affect nutrition information.
Do Wetherspoons drinks contain allergens?
Some drinks do. Beer and lager usually contain cereals containing gluten, wine and cider often contain sulphur dioxide, and coffees and milkshakes contain milk unless you choose a plant based alternative. Check the drinks menu section of the app or ask staff for the allergen details of a specific drink.
