A WETHERSPOONS knock off at a British holiday hotspot has ripped off the pub’s Thursday Curry Club – selling Tikka Masala for less than a fiver.
Witherspoons, the tongue-in-cheek version of the British boozer, offers all the classic items at extraordinary prices.

In the UK, Wetherspoons fans can get a curry and an alcoholic drink – a weekly Indian meal deal that has long been a national treasure – for just £11.91.
But the Witherspoons in Pattaya, Thailand, is undercutting them.
It charges just £4.37 for its Chicken Tikka Masala Thursdays.
Witherspoons has become a magnet for ex-pats and holidaymakers alike.

Its dish comes loaded with tender spice-marinated chicken, jasmine rice, naan bread, a poppadom and cilantro chutney.
Regulars can grab the deal from 12pm until the kitchen runs out doesn’t take long.
A spokesperson for Witherspoons in Pattaya, Thailand, said: “Thursday’s Special at Witherspoons Pattaya.
“Craving rich, authentic Indian flavours?
“Every Thursday, we’re serving up a delicious Chicken Tikka Masala for just 185 THB (£4.37).
“Big flavours, unbeatable price – but only from 12pm until it’s gone.”
The budget boozer offers a classic portion of fish and chips for just £4.58 and a large beer for £2.94 more.
Similar to that homey decor found in British locals, the venue has signs saying: “Fridays are made for Fish & Chips.
“Start your weekend with a crispy, golden classic that always hits the spot.”
In proper Wetherspoons style, the pub is fitted out with 35 TVs, which show live sports all week long.
The uncanny replica even offers that recognisable bright patterned carpet with a menu almost identical to our beloved chain.
Witherspoons has racked up rave reviews and a four-star rating on Trip Advisor, ranking it as number 196 of 1,367 Restaurants in Pattaya.
One chuffed pubgoer wrote: “I always go here for my Sunday roast when in Pattaya. It never disappoints.”
Another happy customer said: “This is our favourite sports bar and restaurant in Pattaya.
“Great value food and drink at reasonable prices make this a great place to eat and watch sports.”
Earlier this year, the dupe restaurant also made headlines by returning one of the classic items that were scrapped from the Wetherspoons menu at home.
The British chain axed the much-loved £13 sirloin steak from the menu at 40 sites, much to the dismay of loyal customers.
Witherspoons, however, has started serving up the steak special – and for even cheaper.
On Wednesdays, you can order a ribeye for just £7, with options to instead pick a New York strip, tenderloin and a range of sides.
