In a riveting win for Britons, Wetherspoons has returned a fan-favourite British classic to its menus across the UK after a customer took action.
Jacket potatoes topped with tuna mayonnaise across all its establishments were quietly axed from the pub chain's culinary selection.
However, after fan and loyal customer Adam Gale intervened, the adored item made a grand return to menus thanks to Wetherspoon's founder and chairman Sir Tim Martin.

Mr Gale, who frequents The Rodboro Buildings in Guildford, Surrey, discovered the tuna option had disappeared while other toppings like beans, cheese and coleslaw remained available.
His disappointment drove him to contact the company's founder and chairman Sir Tim Martin personally, requesting the dish's return to menus throughout the country.
In his written appeal to Sir Tim, Mr Gale expressed his enthusiasm for visiting Wetherspoons venues nationwide, as reported by the Daily Mail, writing: "I love visiting Wetherspoons pubs across the country.
"Yet I am disappointed to see, at my local Wetherspoon in Guildford, that the tuna filling is no longer available for the wonderful jacket potato menu option."

"Your other fillings, such as cheese and baked beans, are lovely. But the tuna one was so nice. Can we please have the tuna filling back on the Guildford menu?"
The chairman responded promptly to the customer's request, acknowledging his oversight regarding the menu change.
"For several decades, I was a tuna-and-jacket-potato guy. But I switched to a chicken wrap and salad for lunch a few years back, so I hadn't noticed the tuna had vamoosed," he admitted.

"Seriously though, as we speak, tuna has been reinstated. Your wish is my command, as they say," he confirmed.
The reinstated menu item is now available at £8.90 when ordered with a soft drink, or £10.43 when paired with an alcoholic beverage. All jacket potatoes are accompanied by a side salad.
Customers can still choose from various other toppings across Wetherspoons locations, from traditional options like cheese and baked beans to chilli bean non-carne, coleslaw and roasted vegetables.
