WETHERSPOONS bosses have been hit with a free-range eggs shortage on their popular breakfasts.
But diners will get a hash brown instead of a yolker on their grub.
A notice at many of the chain’s 852 branches tells punters of the missing eggs.
A sign from a pub in Manchester said: “Free-range egg supply shortages.
“Because of free-range egg shortages, we will be replacing eggs with a hash brown on the following dishes: Large traditional breakfast, traditional breakfast, small breakfast large vegetarian breakfast, vegetarian breakfast, small vegetarian breakfast freedom breakfast.
“If you would like an alternative item, please order at the bar – and we will assist you with this. Apologies for any inconvenience which this may cause.”
One person said on a social media page dedicated to the chain: “What a clucking liberty.”
Another person in Somerset said they had to do without eggs on their breakfast as well.
Yet another added: “None in Brighton yesterday.”
And Andy said: “First a Guinness shortage and now no eggs. What’s happening to the world?”
Wetherspoons said: “We source some of our free range eggs from suppliers and farms based in Northern Ireland.
“The recent outbreak of Avian flu has put pressure on egg availability with measures put in place by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to restrict the spread. We are working with all of our egg suppliers to reduce disruption in pubs.”
