What brand are wetherspoons bbq pork ribs?

Posted 31st Jul 2023
I have a craving for bbq pork microwave ribs that used to be sold in all supermarkets about 5-10 years ago

They no longer sell them now (recipe/brand changed, it's now sachet sauce) but if I recall correctly wetherspoons sells the same ones, or did some years ago..

I even had the same exact ribs when I was in Spain at a cheap pub!

Wondering if anyone can give me the name of the supplier/brand that wetherspoons use for those bbq ribs?

Aldi are a close match but not quite the same. I'd honestly buy a wholesale pack of 40 if I need to! Oh and a chest freezer to store them.

    Unsure if this is them, although this would be the biggest player in the foodservice sector of that line, after that you going into niche local suppliers. Not meant to be microwaved but that's not to say that's not possible.

    Yeah i've tried farmfoods but they are nothing like it, they are kind of "chinese style" flavoured even though they just mention BBQ on the package

    Lidl/aldi are similar to how I like but still not quite as good. I think the main issue is the ribs are covered in a diarrhoea coloured sauce and then an additional bbq sauce packet that is quite tangy. Originally they were red sauce coloured with no additional packet.

    The grottiest, cheapest ones you can get from a wholesaler. Those will be the ones.
