Wetherspoon Gourmet Burgers Menu And Prices | Updated 2026

Wetherspoon-Gourmet-Burgers-Menu-And-Prices

Wetherspoons gourmet burgers are for the days a classic patty and chips just won’t cut it. Six specialty builds, each stacked with something worth talking about: pulled BBQ brisket, a spicy chicken wing balanced on top, two beef patties stacked one on the other. Every one comes with six beer-battered onion rings on the side, and a drink already folded into the price. This is the part of the menu written for people who read the whole description before ordering. Whichever one you land on, it won’t be the safe choice — and that’s exactly why it’s here.

How The Choice Works

Same Price

Beef or Chicken

The Big Smoke, Cheese Meltdown and Tennessee all let you swap the 6oz beef patty for fried buttermilk chicken with no change in price — just a shift in calories.

Fixed Build

Buffalo, BBQ Stack & Ultimate

These three come as one fixed build — Buffalo and the Ultimate Burger are built around their signature patty, and the BBQ Stack is plant-based only.

Beef Only

The Empire State

The one gourmet burger without a swap option — two 6oz beef patties are the whole point, priced slightly higher than the rest of the range.

Summary

The gourmet burgers menu is where Wetherspoons stops playing it safe and starts stacking. Six builds, most priced the same at £10.19, cover everything from smoky BBQ brisket to a chicken wing balanced on top of a burger. The Empire State sits above the rest, both in price and in size, for anyone who wants two patties instead of one. Add-ons keep it flexible — swap the patty, add a sauce, upgrade the sides — without changing the core price much at all. Whichever build you choose, it comes with a drink, onion rings and chips already sorted. This is the range built for a proper sit-down meal, not just a quick bite.
