Pubgoer discovers 'biggest Wetherspoons chip in the world'

Lord of the fries! Pubgoer discovers ‘biggest Wetherspoons chip in the world’ that dwarfs her burger and was the same size as her FORK

• Sophie Turnock, 24, found the chip in a pub in Stoke-On-Trent, Staffordshire

Pubgoer claims she discovered the ‘biggest Wetherspoon chip in the world’ that dwarfed her burger and was the same size as her fork.

Sophie Turnock, 24, was originally disappointed when she was served a ‘paltry’ 15 fries at The Reginald Mitchell Wetherspoon in Hanley, Stoke-On-Trent, Staffordshire, for dinner after a day of shopping on May 28.

However, the 24-year-old got more than she bargained for after finding what she believes to be ‘the biggest Wetherspoon chip in the world’ lurking in her cheese and bacon burger meal.

Ms Turnock, who was dining with partner Max Sugden, 27, and son Finn Turnock, six, at the time, claims that the monster fry was almost the size of her fork – a whopping seven inches in length.

The mum-of-two says that the massive treat was buried beneath the other food – and was uncovered after Finn pinched another chip off her plate.

Ms Turnock claims that the deep-fried delicacy was so large that the family broke it open to see if it was ‘fake’, as they believed it was impossible to find a potato that size.

The stay-at-home mum claims that the generously large fry made up for the fact that she had only received a paltry 15-chip count – as it was the size of ‘three chips in one’.

The Stoke-on-Trent native said: ‘As silly as it sounds, it was under all the other chips, so we didn’t see it at first.

‘I took a bite out of the burger, and my son said, ‘mum can I have a chip’, and he pulled the chip out.

‘Then we were like, ‘woah – look at the size of that chip’.

‘I was so gobsmacked by it – I was like, ‘what potato has this come from’?

‘Honestly, the potato has got to have been the size of the chip. So how have they got a potato this big?

‘I wondered if it was fake at first. I was thinking that you can’t get a potato that big – I’ve never seen a potato that big.

‘My partner was gobsmacked too. He thought the chip wasn’t real. We broke open the chip to check that it was.

‘I reckon it’s an 18 cm [seven inch] chip, and I’m not exaggerating. You wouldn’t believe it if I didn’t take a picture of it next to the fork.

‘We didn’t have very many chips, so this kind of made up for it. It was like three chips in one.

‘I actually think it’s the biggest Wetherspoon chip in the world.’

She also claims that Finn was given the honour of chowing down on the fork-sized surprise – shortly after the mum snapped some pics to share on social media.

Although Ms Turnock says that finding the chip ‘made her day’, the dumbfounded diner claims that she should have contacted someone about the fry as it could have been a record-setter.

The Wetherspoon enthusiast claims that the family eat at the popular UK chain often, and says that she will be on the lookout for more giant chips in the future.

The 24-year-old said: ‘My son ended up having the pleasure of eating it. He’s six and was like, ‘can I have it please?’ So he ended up having the chip. I couldn’t say no to him.

‘He enjoyed it. He said it tasted like a normal chip – just massive.

‘It was just the most random thing to happen. It made our day, we didn’t stop talking about it.

‘I should have got in touch with someone – [it could have been in] the Guiness World Record Book for chips.

‘I’ll be on the lookout for more giant Wetherspoon chips in the future. We go to Wetherspoon a lot as well.’

Ms Turnock claims that the deep-fried delicacy was so large that the family broke it open to see if it was ‘fake’, as they believed it was impossible to find a potato that size.

Ms Turnock shared a photo of the shockingly large fry on Facebook on June, 16, where it racked up more than 200 likes, comments and shares.

Her post reads: ’15 chip count here, but definitely made up for it with this massive chip!’

Viewers were quick to share their opinions in the comments, with many expressing similar amazement over the size of the huge side.

One said: ‘[Would] love to see the spud that came from.’

A second said: ‘Crikey, that’s a big one.’

A third commented: ‘Whopperooni.’

The news comes after a man named Harry Tayler claimed to have discovered a 13.4inch chip at Wetherspoons at The Old Swanne Inne in Evesham, Worcestershire, in November 2021.

 However many social media users speculated it was two fries joined together.
