THE beauty about Wetherspoons is you usually know exactly what to expect when you walk through the door. However, some people have been left baffled by their food showing up with an unexpected surprise. One foodie shared their amazement at food being delivered to their partner on a red patterned plate, instead of Wetherspoons’ usual blue one.
The woman uploaded a photo of the unexpected crockery item to Reddit and captioned it: "My BF got a red plate in Wetherspoons." They added: “Spoons plates are always blue, never seen a red one before.” And she isn’t the only person to have received one over the years, with other people claiming it had happened to them too.
People were quick to marvel at the wonder, with one writing: “🚨 YOU GOT THE RED PLATE! 🚨.” A second commented: “If you get the red plate in ‘spoons, take it to the bar after and you get a free drink.” And one former Spoons worker said they had never seen one while working at the chain.
But what does it mean? One person suggested: "Are you their millionth customer?" And one wrote: "I think you've accidentally wandered into an alternative dimension." Thankfully a Wetherspoons spokesperson cleared up the mystery to the Daily Star. They said: " Wetherspoon did trial a red plate in a small number of pubs for use for children’s meals, to ensure all children’s meals were served on a cold plate.
"The company has moved on since then and just launched a melamine plate for the whole children’s men.
