Wetherspoon is being criticized after she served periperi chicken with jollof risotto rice, which ‘looks alive’.
London-based singer Septimus Prime, 23, who appeared on The Voice in 2017 – shared a picture of his £8.25 lacklustre meal to Twitter with the simple caption:’weatherspoons peri peri chicken’.
A half-chicken with gray skin was shown in the snap. It was served with orange rice and bright orange sauce.
In a second tweet Septimus added: ‘£8.25 for the meal. It tasted almost like Jollof Rice. Although the chicken was very tender, the sauce tasted like tomato sauce with black pepper. 2/10 (2 because the apple juice tasted cold but nice).

Half-chicken from Wetherspoon comes with coleslaw, a lemon herb glaze or a garlic herb dip. Or with Sriracha hot Sauce and Naga chili and citrus glaze.
The majority of the company’s pubs – 644 in total – will be serving the main meals at the price of £7.99 including a soft drink or £9.29 with a alcoholic drink – but it’s more expensive in London.
There are approximately 170 pubs that have higher prices than the rest. However, there are fourteen pubs with lower prices. The five chicken wings cost £2.50 in all pubs.
The headline price is nearly half the equivalent at Nando’s which offers a similar meal for £12.45 plus £1.65 for a soft drink – or beer from £3.95 and wine from £3.15
