Pub lovers were left fuming after multiple Wetherspoon boozers ran out of salt for their grub.
Diners took to social media to complain about the lack of sachets containing the popular condiment, with the Tim Martin-founded chain reportedly blaming "supplier disruption".
One Twitter user ranted that no salt at a 'Spoons means the "country has gone to the dogs" and another bemoaned having to eat their fish and chips "unseasoned".
The punter, at a branch in Piccadilly, Manchester, added: "I had to settle for vinegar instead. It just wasn’t the same — my chips were ruined."
A third said after one customer became outraged at a pub in Rochester, Kent, they were told "it hasn't been on the lorry for two weeks", according to the Sun.
They then questioned: “No one could go to a local supermarket to fill up. Corporate firms huh?”
A fourth person said their brother had spotted a sign outside his local Wetherspoons also informing people there was no salt.
It comes after firm chiefs said they were looking for new providers for certain food products in August.
And last month ran out of certain types of beer - confirming a nationwide shortage due to a lack of delivery staff fuelled by Britain's withdrawal from the EU.
The pub chain was forced to issue a public apology after admitting a number of its 837 outlets had run short of popular brands, including Carling, Coors and Heineken.
The shortage was linked to both a 90,000 shortfall in lorry drivers triggered by Brexit and industrial action.
Mr Martin himself is an outspoken Brexiteer.
UK haulage industry bosses have this week told the Prime Minister to "act now to prevent a Christmas crisis" as a result of continuing lorry driver shortages.
In a letter to Boris Johnson, more than 1,600 haulage sector bosses warn that without decisive action there is a "risk of further damage to not only our businesses and livelihoods, but the UK's integrated and finely balanced supply chains".
The letter, led by the Road Haulage Association, calls for HGV drivers to be added to the shortage occupation list for at least 12 months, reform to driver certification to help the return of retired drivers and an HGV taskforce.
The Mirror has contacted JD Wetherspoon for comment.
