Those who love a Wetherspoons breakfast may notice that their cheap and cheerful meal will look a little different than normal.
A national shortage of eggs has forced some Wetherspoons branches in the UK to completely cut back on ingredients, reports Chronicle Live. This short-term cut back is due to 'temporary supply issues', as Avian flu has had a substantial hit on the production of eggs.
Wetherspoons have said that alternatives are being offered at the locations where eggs have been cut from the menu at the moment. These alternatives include hash browns, sausages and onion rings - quite the addition to your morning meal.

It is worth noting that these supply issues have not affected every Wetherspoons pub in the UK, as some have been reporting business as usual. Wetherspoon spokesman Eddie Gershon told The Sun : “We can confirm that there are temporary issues with egg supplies at some Wetherspoon pubs, due to the current impact of Avian flu on egg production.
"We are experiencing issues in receiving all the supplies we require to satisfy demand in every pub. This is not specific to Wetherspoon and other hospitality operators and supermarkets are facing similar issues.”
Glasgow venues like the Sir John Moore and the Crystal Palace are some of the locations fortunately not experiencing supply issues, so eggs are available with breakfast orders here.
There is more than just an egg shortage alongside the ongoing bird flu, as warnings have been issued over the availability of Christmas turkeys this year.
Supermarkets have also voiced their concerns over the supply of eggs and chicken. However, it's not just bird flu which is currently having an impact.
It has been reported that the market is facing a delayed knock-back from the deaths of millions of birds throughout the summer's heatwave. Farmers are attempting to restrict the spread of the virus by keeping birds indoors, away from the infected flock.
