Weatherspoon's - Steak dropped from the menu on Steak night

Steak night at Weatherspoon's was cancelled as suppliers let the pub chain down.

A notice attributed the absence of steak to 'Supplier Failure' saying the Aberdeen Angus rump steak, Sirloin steak and gammon would be unavailable for the evening.

The alternatives given where as follows:

• Chicken replaced Steak in the mixed grill
• Alternatves on the steak menu includes Pork Ribs and Quinoa salad

The supplier notice read:

"Due to a supplier failure, the following meals are unavailable:

• 8oz and 14oz Aberdeen Angus Rump Steak
• 8oz Serloin Steak
• 5oz and 10oz Gammon

We are still able to offer our Mixed Grill meals, but they will be served with grilled chicken breast instead of the 14oz Aberdeen Angus Rump Steak.

We are also unable to offer the following meals on our steak night:

 BBQ chicken melt

• Chicken & Rib combo
• BBQ Pork Ribs
• Quinoa Salad with Grilled Halloumi

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause."

It was brought to everyone’s attention on twitter by Ian Heath who spotted the sign and uploaded it to twitter. 

The Sun hilariously reported it as Apocalypse Cow, saying that, “WETHERSPOONS yesterday suddenly pulled steak from its 900 pubs - leaving fans of its Tuesday Steak Club reeling.

Managers reacted quickly to a memo from HQ - and some customers even had the special Steak Club menus taken away from them as they got ready to order at lunchtime.

Notices put up on doors and on bars said there were “quality issues” - a message echoed by staff when quizzed by diners. 

Has this ever happened to you? We would like to hear your supplier failure stories and how the solutions you came up with to keep service going! Please add your comments below!!!
