Student finds HUGE chip in Wetherspoons meal measuring more than a foot long - but is told he "should be ashamed"

A college student has claimed he has found "the biggest chip ever seen" while feasting on a Wetherspoons pub lunch - and has dismissed suggestions he faked his discovery.

Harry Tayler, 22, was stunned by the size of the chip he was served when he went for a pub lunch with pal Connor Armento, 22, at The Old Swanne Inne in Evesham, Worcestershire, on Friday.

He claimed the chip stretched a massive 13.4 INCHES (34cm).

Harry's Facebook post saw the giggling punter pan his camera across the full length of the "beast", before his smirking companion looks down the lens to declare "it's the biggest chip I've ever seen."

Stunned fans rushed to the comments to congratulate college student Harry on his "monster" find, with more than 100 people reacting to his bemusing announcement.

However, he was forced to defend his discovery after angry fellow fries fanatics questioned how the chip could have been sliced from a single spud and claimed he'd bitten a chip's ends off and joined two others on either side.

Harry hit back at demands he "should be ashamed" by angrily replying "of course it's real, grow up" before shutting down another sceptic saying "if you can't accept the fact my chip's bigger than yours, please leave."

He's since boasted he even showed shocked ‘Spoons staff the discovery and felt guilty eating it so left it until last - but he revealed the super-sized chip did taste good in the end.

Harry said: "Me and my mate just fancied a pint and food. I didn't notice until a few minutes after I started eating, then I thought, 'it's b****y massive'.

"We were both shocked at the time, as you can tell by Connor in the video. We measured it on an app he had on his phone. It was quite funny.

"I felt guilty eating it, so we left it until last. We even showed the ‘Spoons worker who was surprised and also found it funny. It tasted good as well!

"Some people didn't believe it and others did."

Harry's post said: "Wetherspoons Evesham. Old Swan Inn. The sheer size of this beast. 13.4 inches."

Dan Tustin said: "That is one big chip, congrats on the find."

Luke Gallimore said: "It's the biggest chip I've ever seen!"

Cameron Sherry questioned: "How can that have been birthed from a single spud?"

Kenny Benet said: "I am not buying it. You just bit the ends off the middle chip and shoved one in either side!"

Jimmy Seay agreed and added: "Multiple chips inserted into one another, it’s plain to see."

Dan Evans said "Not buying it, wipe that smile off your face you should be ashamed."

However, Harry hit back: "Of course it's real, grow up."

Dan said: "You're having me on lads."

Harry said: "Don't be a hater."

Scott Russell simply added: "Photoshopped."

Harry replied: "If you can't accept the fact my chip's bigger than yours, please leave."

Last month, Sam Mumford hit the headlines after finding what he claimed to be 'the world's longest chip' stretching a giant 18.5 inches, but was also hit by claims that he was holding two chips together.
