BRITS on holiday in a far-flung hotspot have discovered a cheeky pub doppelgänger that's serving up a budget treat Wetherspoons fans back home can only dream of. As the UK’s Wetherspoons dropped its much-loved £13 sirloin steak from the menu at 40 locations, "Witherspoons" in Pattaya, Thailand, has been cashing in, keeping the grills hot and the steaks sizzling.

The uncanny replica pub, complete with the signature patterned carpets, cheap booze, and all-day breakfasts, is offering a slice of home at wallet-friendly prices. Its menu boasts juicy options like New York strip, tenderloin, and ribeye steaks, with sides and sauces aplenty.

On Wednesdays, a ribeye will set you back just £7. A Witherspoons spokesperson said: “Calling all meat lovers. Get ready to treat yourself at Witherspoons Pattaya with a feast that’s worth every bite. “Don’t just dream about it - dive into some serious meaty goodness.

“We can’t wait to see you here.”. The Thai venue has become a magnet for Brits abroad, racking up a 4.1-star rating on Google. One visitor, Gary Homan, raved: “Out of all the places around, this is a catch-all and does-everything kind of place. "The food is great, not exceptional but exactly what you expect for a pub/bar atmosphere and certainly well worth the price.”.

Meanwhile, Wetherspoons customers in the UK are fuming over the axed sirloin. Christine, a regular, cried: “Would like to know why on earth Wetherspoons have taken steaks off the menu. Travesty.”. Craig, who visited The Samuel Peto pub in Folkestone, Kent, vented his frustration: “No steaks here either. Evening ruined.”.
