Wetherspoons sides menu and prices
The Wetherspoons side dishes offer 7 choices, with typical prices from £0.99 to £4.49 and 7 items carrying vegetarian or vegan tags. It is one section of the full Spoons menu, and each pub sets its own prices. The selection covers thick-cut chips, onion rings, garlic pizza bread, salad and mushy peas, so choosing well is about what your main meal needs rather than simply adding more food. Cheese versions give you a richer alternative to the plain options. Prices are typical rather than fixed because each pub sets its own, making the local menu your final check before ordering.

Every sides item
Bowl of Chips
A highly generous and deeply comforting bowl of our famous thick-cut pub chips. Cooked until they achieve a spectacular golden-brown, crispy exterior while remaining wonderfully soft and fluffy on the inside. They boast a rich, savoury potato flavour that is incredibly satisfying. This essential side dish is the perfect complement to almost any main meal, particularly burgers and steaks, or serves brilliantly as a hearty, shareable snack over a few pints. Served piping hot, they are an absolute staple of the British pub experience that never fails to hit the spot.
Bowl of Chips with Cheese
An incredibly indulgent and highly satisfying upgrade to our classic side dish. We take a generous bowl of our hot, crispy, thick-cut golden chips and smother them in a thick, luxurious layer of melting cheddar cheese. The gooey, salty cheese seeps into the crispy chips, creating a phenomenal, rich texture and a deeply savoury flavour profile. It is a fantastic, highly comforting side that pairs beautifully with a simple grilled chicken burger, or serves as a wonderfully decadent, standalone snack to share with friends. Served steaming hot, it is pure, unadulterated comfort food.
Onion Rings (Six)
A fantastic, highly satisfying side dish featuring six exceptionally large, thick-cut onion rings. Each ring is generously coated in a light, seasoned batter and fried until it achieves a spectacular, crispy golden-brown finish. The crunch of the exterior yields to a beautifully soft, sweet, and tender onion inside, offering a wonderful textural contrast. These savoury, slightly sweet rings are the ultimate accompaniment to a hearty steak or a towering beef burger, adding a brilliant crunch to your meal. Served piping hot, they are a universally adored pub classic that always delivers on flavour.
Garlic Pizza Bread
A highly aromatic and deeply satisfying side dish that is perfect for sharing. We take an 8-inch, thin and crispy pizza base and generously smother it in a rich, luxurious garlic and herb butter. Baked in the oven until the edges are wonderfully crisp and golden, the bread absorbs the pungent, savoury garlic flavour beautifully. The texture is a delightful mix of a crunchy crust and a slightly soft, buttery centre. It is the perfect complement to our pasta dishes or a fresh salad, providing a comforting, highly flavourful addition to any meal. Served hot.
Garlic Pizza Bread with Cheese
A phenomenally indulgent twist on a classic side dish, combining rich garlic with gooey dairy. Our crisp, 8-inch garlic and herb pizza bread is elevated by a thick, generous layer of melting mozzarella cheese. Baked until the cheese is beautifully golden and bubbling, it offers a highly complex flavour profile of sharp garlic and mild, creamy cheese. The texture is incredibly satisfying, with the stretchy cheese contrasting the crisp pizza base. It serves as an outstanding, rich accompaniment to our lighter salads or as a fantastic, highly shareable starter. Served piping hot from the oven.
Side Salad
A wonderfully crisp, light, and highly refreshing side dish that brings a vibrant burst of colour to your meal. It features a fresh, crunchy mix of torn iceberg lettuce, juicy cherry tomatoes, crisp cucumber slices, and sharp red onion rings, all lightly tossed in a zesty, tangy vinaigrette dressing. The bright acidity of the dressing perfectly cuts through the richness of heavier main meals. It is an excellent, healthy complement to a rich lasagne or a hearty burger, providing a clean, fresh textural contrast that enlivens the palate. Served wonderfully chilled and crisp.
Mushy Peas
The absolute quintessential, highly traditional accompaniment to any battered fish dish. These classic chip shop style mushy peas are cooked down to a wonderfully thick, rich, and creamy consistency. They boast a distinctively sweet, earthy flavour profile and a vibrant green colour that brightens up the plate. The soft, smooth texture provides a phenomenal contrast to the sharp crunch of battered cod or crispy chips. Highly comforting and deeply nostalgic, they are an essential addition for anyone seeking the authentic British fish and chip experience. Served steaming hot, they are simple yet completely indispensable.

What is on the Wetherspoons sides menu
What is on the Wetherspoons sides menu?
The Wetherspoons sides menu includes chips, onion rings, garlic pizza bread, side salad and mushy peas, with cheese versions of the chips and bread. Bowl of Chips is the straightforward potato option: thick-cut chips with a crisp exterior and soft centre. Bowl of Chips with Cheese adds melting cheddar, making it a richer choice rather than a different base dish. Onion Rings (Six) offer battered onion with a contrasting crunch.
Side Salad brings iceberg lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and red onion to the selection. Mushy Peas provide a thick, soft accompaniment with a sweet, earthy flavour, particularly suited to battered fish. Garlic Pizza Bread takes a different route, using a thin pizza base with garlic and herb butter. Its cheese version adds mozzarella, so the choice between the breads is mainly about how rich an accompaniment you want.
How big are Wetherspoons side dishes?
Wetherspoons sides use different serving formats, but precise weights are not supplied for this listing. Both chip options come as a bowl, while Onion Rings (Six) gives you a stated count that is easier to divide when sharing. The garlic pizza breads use an eight-inch base, offering a clearer size reference than the salad or peas. Avoid assuming that every side is equally substantial simply because it appears in the same section.
Format can help you decide what fits your meal. A bowl of chips adds a potato accompaniment, whereas garlic pizza bread introduces another bread-based element. Onion rings make sense when you want a counted portion with crunch. Side Salad offers a fresh contrast, while Mushy Peas are a softer addition. If sharing or feeding someone with a small appetite, ask the pub about the current serving rather than relying on an estimated portion.
Wetherspoons sides prices and included drinks
Typical Wetherspoons sides prices run from £0.99 to £4.49, with an average typical price of £3.13; no included drink is confirmed for these individual sides. Mushy Peas are the best-value pick in this listing, particularly if you want an accompaniment to battered fish rather than another bowl of chips. Compare the local prices of plain and cheese versions before deciding whether the extra cheese is worth the additional spend.
Drink-inclusive offers belong to a separate check. Curry Club traditionally takes place on Thursday and Steak Club on Tuesday at participating pubs, often with a drink included. That does not establish that an extra side is covered by the offer. Before paying, check which food and eligible drink the deal includes, then ask whether your chosen accompaniment is an additional charge. This keeps the price of the main meal separate from the cost of extras.
Do Wetherspoons sides change during the year?
No seasonal or rotating side dishes are identified in this listing, so the named options are the only ones this guide can describe. That includes both garlic pizza breads, both bowls of chips, onion rings, salad and mushy peas. There is no basis here for promising a seasonal addition, a temporary special or a particular replacement if your preferred item cannot be ordered.
Use the local menu to establish what is being offered at the pub you are visiting. If you see a different side, check its ingredients, dietary label and typical local price rather than assuming it matches an item described here. The same caution applies to substitutions: a different accompaniment may not have the same allergens or vegetarian status. Ask staff about any changes that affect your choice, especially if you are choosing around an allergy.
Best sides picks

Mushy Peas
£0.99
Mushy Peas are the lowest typical price pick at £0.99. Their thick texture and sweet, earthy flavour make them a useful accompaniment to battered fish, rather than simply the cheapest extra.
- Lightest
Side Salad

Side Salad is the lightest highlighted choice, adding lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and red onion. Exact calories are not supplied, so check the current nutrition information when assessing your whole day’s intake.
- Most filling
Bowl of Chips with Cheese
602 kcal
Bowl of Chips with Cheese is the most filling highlighted choice. Thick-cut chips topped with melting cheddar suit someone wanting a substantial extra, rather than a small fresh contrast to their main.
- Vegetarian pick
Mushy Peas
vegan, vegetarian
Mushy Peas carry both vegetarian and vegan tags. Their thick consistency and sweet, earthy flavour make them a plant-based alternative to the cheese-topped sides, particularly alongside battered fish for vegetarian diners who eat fish alternatives elsewhere.
Wetherspoons sides deals and offers
No standalone sides deal or included drink is confirmed in this listing. A food-and-drink meal deal should identify the food covered and the eligible drink choices, so check those terms rather than assuming an extra side is included.
Curry Club traditionally runs on Thursday and Steak Club on Tuesday at participating pubs, often with a drink included. Check locally for current club pricing and any additional charge for sides. For value, start with what your main already includes, then add only what improves it: Mushy Peas for a soft accompaniment, Side Salad for freshness, or chips when you genuinely want a more substantial meal. Typical prices vary by pub.
When is the sides menu served at Wetherspoons
Check your chosen pub for sides serving times, as no separate service window is supplied for this section. The main menu typically runs from late morning until the kitchen closes, usually around eleven in the evening, but that is not confirmation of every side’s availability.
Curry Club is traditionally on Thursday and Steak Club on Tuesday at participating pubs; neither establishes different sides hours. If you arrive before main-menu service or near closing, ask which accompaniments can still be ordered before choosing your meal. Outside the available window, check the menu currently being served rather than assuming sides can be prepared.
How many calories in the Wetherspoons sides
Side Salad is the lightest highlighted option and Bowl of Chips with Cheese is the heaviest highlighted choice, but exact calorie figures are not supplied. A reliable calorie range or percentage of a daily intake cannot be calculated from this listing. The remaining sides cannot be placed in a verified calorie order either.
For a lighter accompaniment, start by comparing Side Salad with the chip and garlic pizza bread options using current nutrition information. Cheese changes the ingredients, so check the specific version rather than using the plain item’s figure. Add the side and your chosen drink to the main meal’s total when assessing how the order fits your daily needs.
Allergens in the Wetherspoons sides
Milk is identifiable in the cheese toppings and garlic and herb butter, but a complete allergen breakdown is not supplied for these sides. Check cereals containing gluten particularly carefully for the battered onion rings and pizza breads; their full recipes are needed to confirm allergen status. The available descriptions do not establish which of the fourteen major allergens occurs most often.
Consult Wetherspoon’s current allergen information and tell staff about your allergy before ordering. Do not rely on this independent guide alone. Ask how any swap changes the ingredients and whether shared kitchen equipment presents a cross-contact risk. Vegetarian or vegan tags do not establish suitability for an allergy.
Vegetarian and vegan options on the sides menu
The sides listing contains 7 items carrying vegetarian or vegan tags, and every named option is tagged vegetarian. Bowl of Chips, Side Salad and Mushy Peas also carry vegan tags. Neither cheese-topped option, either garlic pizza bread nor the onion rings has a vegan tag in the supplied information.
For plant-based diners, choose from the explicitly vegan-labelled options rather than assuming a dish qualifies because its main ingredient is a vegetable. Vegetarian and vegan labels describe the listed item; they do not guarantee separate preparation or resolve allergy concerns. Check the current local labelling, and ask staff before requesting changes, because removing an ingredient does not by itself confirm that the resulting order is vegan.
How to order from the Wetherspoons sides menu
Check the local menu and confirm your chosen side before paying, whether you use the Wetherspoon app at your table or order at the bar. When using the app, confirm that you have selected the correct pub and that the displayed price applies to your order, rather than relying on this guide’s typical range.
Specify the plain or cheese version clearly, and check whether any requested change can be accommodated. For allergies, speak to staff rather than relying on an order note alone. Ask about availability, including whether anything has sold out, and give the correct table details if arranging delivery to your table.
Best Wetherspoons sides choices
Best for value
Mushy Peas are the best-value pick in this listing. Their thick consistency makes them a useful accompaniment to battered fish, so the appeal is a suitable addition rather than merely a low typical price.
Best for a lighter accompaniment
Side Salad is the lightest highlighted choice, with lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and red onion. Choose it when you want a fresh contrast rather than another potato or bread-based element, and check current calories if tracking intake.
Best for a substantial extra
Bowl of Chips with Cheese combines thick-cut chips with melting cheddar and is the most filling highlighted option. It suits an order that needs a substantial accompaniment more than one that already feels complete.
Best for a vegan chip option
Bowl of Chips carries a vegan tag and keeps the choice straightforward. Pick the plain version rather than the cheddar-topped bowl, then confirm the current dietary information and discuss preparation with staff if relevant.
Best for a counted portion
Onion Rings (Six) gives you a stated count, which helps when deciding how to divide a side. The battered onion provides a crunchy alternative to chips, although the listing does not supply a portion weight.
Best for garlic and cheese
Garlic Pizza Bread with Cheese adds mozzarella to a thin base with garlic and herb butter. Choose it over the plain bread when the cheese topping is the extra you want, rather than ordering another potato side.
How to choose from the sides menu
- 01
Check your main first
Look at the accompaniments listed with your main before adding a side. Decide whether you need more food or a different texture, then compare Bowl of Chips, Side Salad and Mushy Peas against that need.
- 02
Choose your preferred format
Use the format to narrow the choice: a bowl of chips, six onion rings or an eight-inch garlic pizza bread. Ask about salad and pea portions if their size matters to your order.
- 03
Decide about the cheese
Compare the plain and cheese versions of chips or garlic pizza bread. Cheddar tops the chips and mozzarella tops the bread, so choose the addition you actually want rather than treating both upgrades as interchangeable.
- 04
Check dietary and allergen details
Use the vegan tags on Bowl of Chips, Side Salad and Mushy Peas as your starting point. For an allergy, check current allergen information and speak to staff before considering substitutions or ingredient removals.
- 05
Confirm the local total
Check your pub’s current side price and whether any food-and-drink offer covers extras. Confirm availability before paying, especially if you have built your meal around a particular accompaniment or a specific dietary label.
How the sides menu compares to other Wetherspoons sections
The sides section is best used to adjust a meal, rather than as evidence of a complete meal deal. Its formats range from bowls of chips to counted onion rings and pizza bread, but exact portion comparisons with other sections are not supplied. Typical sides prices span £0.99 to £4.49; no reliable cross-section price ranking is available here.
Look at Burgers or Pizza if you are choosing the main dish first. Fish Dishes are worth checking when deciding whether Mushy Peas would complement your order. Stay with sides when you already know your main and want a specific extra, but check its existing accompaniments to avoid unnecessary duplication.
