Counter, kiosk and app all carry it. The Wetherspoons app adds collection and delivery. It is filed under Gourmet Burgers. Availability is set per branch, so a smaller site may not carry it at all.
Wetherspoons The big smoke burger (fried buttermilk chicken) price in 2026
There is no verified Wetherspoons The big smoke burger (fried buttermilk chicken) price for 2026. Wetherspoons prices per branch and publishes no national list for it, so the accurate figure is the one your own branch shows in 2026. Any site quoting a single exact national price for this item is guessing, and we would rather show the gap.
Allergens declared
Wetherspoons declares 2 of the 14 allergens UK law requires to be listed for this item: cereals containing gluten and milk. It also lists celery, crustaceans, eggs, fish, mustard, sesame, soya and sulphites (sulphur dioxide) as a possible trace, meaning Wetherspoons cannot rule those out. A declaration covers the recipe and not the kitchen, and every one of these chains prepares food in shared fryers and on shared surfaces. For a severe allergy the only reliable check is asking staff on the day.
What 1809 kcal means here
1809 kcal is a little above the Gourmet Burgers average. That is most of a day's energy for a smaller adult in one item, so treat the rest of the order accordingly. The 2,000 kcal figure printed on UK menus is a reference intake for an average adult, not a target, and it is the number these percentages are worked against.
Protein for the calories
It gives 3.6g of protein per 100 kcal, against a menu average of 4.3g across everything we hold for Wetherspoons. That is about average for this menu, which matters more than the raw protein figure when you are comparing two items of different sizes. On raw protein it ranks 3rd of 10 in its section.
Salt worth knowing about
At 7g of salt it accounts for 117% of the 6g daily maximum the NHS recommends for adults, most of a day in one item. Salt in restaurant food is fixed in the recipe, so the only control you have is what else goes alongside it.
Pro Tips for Ordering The big smoke burger (fried buttermilk chicken)
Ordering it at the counter
Ask for it without one element, or without a sauce, and the total drops below the published figure. Staff handle that request routinely. The number in the table is the standard build as Wetherspoons makes it. The item on its own rather than as a meal is the larger saving on both price and energy.
Fibre
14g of fibre is a genuinely useful amount against the 30g a day UK adults are advised to get and mostly do not. Very little on a fast food menu contributes here, so it is worth noting when something does.
Saturated fat
13g of saturates is 65% of the 20g reference intake. That figure is the one worth watching over a week rather than a meal, and it is the number that separates two items with similar calorie counts.
