Cumbrian Wetherspoon pubs are launching a range of new meals starting next week.

The news meals include katsu curry, new burgers, salads and pubs classics.

The pubs will be serving the curry dish in three varieties; katsu chicken curry with sliced breaded chicken escalope, katsu grilled chicken curry with sliced grilled chicken breast and katsu Quorn nugget curry, served with eight coated pieces.

The katsu curries are served with curry sauce, coconut-flavour rice, sliced chillies and coriander.

The pubs are also introducing a new three-ounce burger, allowing customers the opportunity to opt for a smaller portion.

Two new burger choices are available; the fried halloumi-style cheeseburger, served with sweet chilli sauce as well as the heatwave burger, with the option of either grilled chicken breast or fried buttermilk chicken, which includes Naga chilli mayo, American-style cheese and a hash brown, topped with a spicy chicken wing.

The Halloumi burger is served with chips; the heatwave burger is served with chips and six onion rings.

Customers will also be able to choose from two new salad dishes added to the salads and pasta range.

The burrito salad bowl combines spicy rice, cheese, roasted pepper, courgette, and onion, served with tortilla chips, guacamole, and sliced chillies.

Another vegetarian option is the grilled halloumi-style cheese and roasted vegetable salad, with roasted pepper, courgette, onion and pico de gallo.

To complete the choice of new meals are two pub classics.

These are bangers and mash, which has a vegetarian option and a steak and kidney pudding.

The participating pubs are; The Woodrow Wilson and The William Rufus, both in Botchergate, Carlisle, as well as The Bransty Arch in Bransty Row, Whitehaven, The Henry Bessemer in New Oxford Street, Workington and The Chief Justice of the Common Pleas in Bank Street, Keswick.

The Woodrow Wilson pub manager, Andrew Hetherington, said: “We are always keen to introduce new meals for our customers to enjoy.

“We believe the katsu curry and other new dishes will prove popular.

“As always, all meals will be of the highest quality and available at value-for-money prices.”
