Inside the first Wetherspoons pub outside the UK and Ireland
- The first Wetherspoon pub outside the UK and Ireland, named Castell de Santa Bàrbera, has opened at Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernandez Airport in Spain.
- Launched on Monday, the pub is located airside in departures, operating from 6 am to 9 pm daily, and includes an external terrace for customers.
- The menu offers a blend of traditional Wetherspoon dishes, such as breakfasts and burgers, alongside local Spanish options like garlic prawns, though real ales are not served.
- Wetherspoon founder Tim Martin announced plans for further international expansion, targeting more airport locations and potential high-street venues across Europe.
- The new pub is anticipated to be popular with British holidaymakers and expatriates in Alicante, despite some initial customer observations about local Spanish prices being generally lower.
