“I called the customer service line a couple of times and left messages but they haven’t even bothered to get back to me.

“I’m very disappointed and disgusted about how I’ve been treated.

A Wetherspoon spokesman said: “We have investigated the customer’s claim. We do not believe that the object in question is a worm as she has stated.

“We believe it to be a trussing band which has somehow found its way into the meal.

“This in itself is a serious issue and we apologise to the customer for this.

“Wetherspoon serves millions of meals across its pubs each year and the company takes the utmost care in the preparation of the meals that it serves to its customers.
