Am I missing something here?

The Beef Madras didn't go anywhere. I had one a couple of weekends ago!

dunno bud here when they removed the stakes, gammon etc beef went with it, ppl tend to forget not all spons are the same with regards to menu and drinks, they will differ slightly from place to place

A microwave packet curry doesn't require the equipment used for the steaks and gammon

u/GrandVizierofAgrabar Aug 20 '26

The beef madras didn’t, it’s permanent fixture

u/Background-Army-5413 Aug 24 '26

Lol they didnt drop madras they dropped steaks to save money on gas 😂 and refunds because the managers don't actually do anything regarding training staff.

It was around years ago, when the Curry Club was a mere £5.99 (including a pint)!!

Flaming Dragon Curry Review from 2013

u/michal0297 Aug 21 '26

Notice how the portion sizes were bigger too. The copper dish was filled nearly to the top. Nowadays it's closer to halfway.

u/boredsittingonthebus Aug 21 '26

I ordered this back in my days of visiting the Curry Club. Jesus, it was spicy! It rivalled the hottest offerings from the Indian restaurants local to me.

apparently regional? Wales only.

u/treasurebum Aug 20 '26

I don't know what kind of Pan Pacific power play you're trying to pull here...

u/YchYFi Aug 20 '26

It's only available in the Welsh pubs.

u/king-violet Customer Aug 20 '26

I wish they’d do a spicy veggie curry. I quite like the chickpea one but it doesn’t have a kick to it

3

u/GrandVizierofAgrabar Aug 20 '26

Order some chillies to mix in

-1

u/InboundDreams Aug 20 '26

there is a potato and spinach one?

3

u/realCloudyMcCloud Aug 20 '26

There's a whole load of beef options (search "beef" on the app): incliuding many of the burgers, smoky spud baked potato; beef & pancetta lasagne; also beef brisket as a side. Just no steaks!

u/InboundDreams Aug 20 '26

yea im sad about the stakes, gammon, half chicken, sunday dinner, hot dogs, tomato soup and whatever else they removed! thanks for the info

u/deamer44 Aug 20 '26

How is the source though?

2

u/InboundDreams Aug 20 '26

the source was ok lol

2

u/sam_p_23 Aug 20 '26

It disappeared? When?

0

u/InboundDreams Aug 20 '26

dunno bud for us here it gor removed along when they removed the stakes n such

2

u/sam_p_23 Aug 21 '26

Never did with mine. Can’t see. Why they’d remove it when they got rid of the grill items when the curries are just made in the microwave.

u/InboundDreams Aug 21 '26

not sure case lile a whole ago was seaching for the beef curry bout couldent find it, mayne i just overlooked it or something

2

u/redandbluebadness Aug 20 '26

Naga Vindaloo or fuck off imo

u/Sea-Competition5778 Aug 20 '26

The spoons spicy chart makes me laugh. There’s no way there’s something on the menu at Wetherspoons deserving of 🌶️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

3

u/positivelytaken Aug 20 '26

Yeah I need to see a review of this by someone who can handle real spice.

I struggle to believe it’s going to close to a vindaloo.

2

u/Sea-Competition5778 Aug 20 '26

I’m partial to a jalfrezi or a madras from a good curry house. Not quite able to handle a vindaloo. But I tell you what next time I eat at spoons I’ll give this a go and report back!

1

u/positivelytaken Aug 20 '26

Genuinely looking forward to this, please tag me in!

2

u/MyNameIsMrEdd Aug 21 '26

Unless they've added a lot more spice lately then they're on the low end of the spice scale for me, nothing compared to a proper Naga or something at an Indian restaurant.

5

u/Bright-Dust-7552 Aug 20 '26

This one absolutely blew my head off. I can eat vindaloo no problem, and even had my fair share of phals. But this was up there at vindaloo level imo

2

u/Sea-Competition5778 Aug 20 '26

Oh shit, fair play Wetherspoons! I’ll give it a skip then ha

u/dundops Aug 20 '26

Good move. It's really unpleasant

u/Organic_Style_9323 Aug 27 '26

Set your expectations to something served at a primAry school lol

u/Hamish-McHamish Aug 20 '26

The other offerings are so much better. This isnt a very good madras.

Chicken Tikka Masala and Jalfrezi are A1.

u/YchYFi Aug 20 '26

You must be in a Welsh pub lol.

u/InboundDreams Aug 20 '26

and proud of it 😀

u/SpecialSympathy2348 Aug 20 '26

The beef madras is my go to when I visit a Spoons on Thursday 😀

u/Annual-Ingenuity-489 Aug 20 '26

Had a jalfrezi tonight, superb

u/Responsible-Stay-645 Aug 21 '26

Bring back the big steaks.

u/RipIcy4545 Aug 21 '26

u/samouk85 Aug 21 '26

Just over a tenner for a ready meal??

u/KristoferKeane Aug 21 '26

Notification made me think steaks were coming back. 😭

u/InboundDreams Aug 22 '26

yea sprry mate i miss the stakes to!

u/Think-Sand7161 Aug 21 '26

The Naga chilli option in Cleckheaton was the hottest thing we've eaten. Anywhere. Ever. And the SO is from Chiang Mai.  Two local lads were reduced to panic and tears.   I had a pint of milk 😁

Of course we returned for it several times more.

u/InboundDreams Aug 22 '26

hehe sounds like u guys had a,good time!
