Major UK airport throws open doors to its first ever Wetherspoons – as price of a pint is revealed

A MAJOR UK airport opened the doors to its first ever Wetherspoons today.

Those heading to the airport early can grab a bleary-eyed pint as the new boozer is serving customers “from first to last flight“.

Manchester Airport welcomed customers to its first ever Wetherspoons today, with the discount pub finally opening in Terminal 2.

The Belle Vue, named after a historic local zoological garden, is part of a major refurbishment of the terminal that has taken place over the past decade and has created 150 new jobs at the airport.

The new Spoons will be serving up food until 10pm, seven days a week – so here’s a sneak peek at what’s on the menu.

The Belle Vue is also serving up pub classics, including Wiltshire cured ham, eggs and chips for £14.05 and freshly battered fish and chips which costs £17.75 – the most expensive item on the menu.
