A WOMAN who tried Wetherspoon's Christmas dinner has given it a very mixed review.<\/p>\n

Becky Jones visited one of the establishments when the pub giant launched its festive menu last week.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

She took a trip to The High Cross Wetherspoon in Leicester on Wednesday lunchtime to see if it was worth the hype before rating it out of five.<\/p>\n

The chain has introduced Christmassy pizzas, a full Christmas dinner, sandwiches and puddings up and down the country.<\/p>\n

And it will only cost just over \u00a312.<\/p>\n

But despite the cheap and cheerfulness all of us Brits love about Spoons, Becky said she wasn't impressed by what came out on the staple blue and white floral plate.<\/p>\n

Feeling ready to get into the Christmas spirit, she was left disappointed when the potato was chewy and the roast was missing her favourite item.<\/p>\n

Writing in LeicestershireLive, Becky said: "\u00a0I quite fancied trying the Brie and garlic mushroom pizza, but I reckoned I ought to go all-out and have the most festive dish on the menu.<\/p>\n

"Which, of course, is a Christmas dinner – aka sliced turkey breast and winter vegetables.<\/p>\n

"[It's] \u00a312.05 with a non-alcoholic drink and\u00a313.52 with an alcoholic drink.<\/p>\n

"My meal arrived within 10 minutes. One thing I noticed straight away was that there was a lot of turkey breast – four slices according to the menu."<\/p>\n

But Becky wasn't overly thrilled with other parts of her meal – including the main act. <\/p>\n

Becky said the "turkey wasn't bad" although it was clearly "processed".<\/p>\n

She added: "The peas were ok, as was the Maris Piper mash, although there were a few odd chewy bits.<\/p>\n

"There are also no Brussels sprout included in the Spoons dinner. I'm aware they're a bit of Marmite food, but I love those little green veggies, so I did miss seeing them on my plate."<\/p>\n

However, Becky did say the carrots and parsnips were "full of flavour". <\/p>\n

She added that the pigs in blankets were her "favourite part of the meal" because of the crispy bacon and that the stuffing was "flavoursome". <\/p>\n

Overall she gave the pub and its food a three out of five star rating. <\/p>\n
