Wetherspoons runs out of ketchup

Can 2020 get any worse?

Wetherspoons run out of ketchup during Eat Out to Help Out scheme

Punters at one venue said they felt 'robbed' by the lack of the sauce on their fish and chips

According to The Scum, people eating at the Coinage Hall in Helston had to make do without the sauce which has apparently been in "high demand" at the pub chain which is chaired by Devon's Tim Martin.

Supplies of brown sauce and mustard have also been said to be low.

I went to get some from the condiments table and there was none left.

I felt robbed. Our fish and chips were ruined.

Salad cream is a fine alternative, as is mayonaise. What is wrong with people?

I have mayo with fish and chips anyway

Serves them right for eating ketchup - brown sauce is far better.

And salad cream/mayo - just no 5t3IIa

I've never really understood the ketchup thing. There are some things that ketchup works better with, like fried egg butties and fish finger butties but HP sauce is for winners.

Ketchup fucks up fish and chips

It's nice enough on chips

But with fish? The mark of a wrong un

Vinegar and lemon (and salt) are the only things that should be allowed near fish and chips.

It would seem that they have previous form for this

Poor pub grub
Poor food, veggie burger chucked in a bun with a piece of lettuce that should of been in the bin, the food came quick, but almost to quick to
Of been cooked properly, they had no ketchup, no mayo or salad cream, in the whole pub,
When I said I was missing onion rings with my order, the girl got stroppy and said that it didn't come with them, but when I ordered my meal, I was told it did.
My partner had chicken burger and the chicken was like boot leather,
No ketchup on the fries was about the last straw as it would of been the only thing that saved the meal!
Nice interior

And fingers, and those little wooden forks, and paper to wrap them, and those cardboard boxes they are increasingly using as alternative packaging.

And tartare sauce

But a good bit of fish doesn't need anything and as you say a spot of salt and vinegar for the chips

There's also been - or so I've been told - a shortage of sugar sachets as loads more places go for condiment & sugar sachets in place of bottles and bowls / shakers ... something to do with stopping people handling things.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Yeh. But not ketchup.

Depends. Ketchup for the chips is good, mayo for the peas and fish. If I'm having fish chips and beans I wouldn't bother with ketchup. If I have a burger and chips I'll have mayo in the burger and whack tommy sauce on the fries.

 

[neonwilderness]

If I'm having fish chips and beans

What?

 

[Saul Goodman]

What?

I was going to keep quite, in case it was a Southern delicacy or something, but yeah... What?!?!

I was in Brighton yesterday evening, and both Spoons had queues outside. Queues. Both.

How is this news? Half the time they'd run out of whatever sauce went with whatever I'd ordered anyway. Often they'd run out of a key component of a meal and only announce this when bringing it to the table.

Like steak egg and chips.
"Excuse me, where are the eggs?"
"Oh sorry, we're out of eggs. I can bring you some peas instead"

Never going back anyway.

 

[Steel Icarus]

What?

What of it
Childhood favourite, didn't like mushy peas til my late teens

Southern where?

It sounds like something you'd hear immediately before "... oh, and some jellies eels"

Do you mean fish fingers, chips and beans?

Do you mean fish fingers, chips and beans?

Nah, fish fingers go in a sarnie with horseradish

 

[Throbbing Angel]

Fish, chips and curry sauce

FTFW

Where is this chippy where you can order fish, chips and beans?

 

[DotCommunist]

go any sit down caff for fish and chips and the choice is peas or beans. If you don't like peas then you have to have beans or nothing. Thats how it works.
Its not a chip shop thing tho
