Tbh, the food isn't that bad. You get what you pay for. Hubby loves the real ales. It's the d*unks that I don't like. They've been on the cheap beer all day and it's doesn't make for a nice atmosphere.
On a plus side, you can get your daily steps 🦶🏼 in on a mission to go for a pee! |

"Nothing wrong with a wetherspoons.
Fab wetherspoons meet anyone?"
We had breakfast in Wetherspoons and on the next table was a Woman sat on her own. That night she was in the same club, we recognised each other and found it amusing. |

I am not a Spoons expert as I have only had a breakfast in one a couple of times. It was good and cheap. The local Spoons in the high street is always busy from early morning to closing time so I guess it is doing something right. |

A local to me or in a few places around about BUT - there are some I wouldn't step into but that's the people not the place.
The Chain should be commended for what they do , it's a fantastic business model and the food is hot and edible and affordable.

Our spoons is affordable good value food and drink so long as you don't mind unbelievable shit service, not being able to pay with cash and socialising with 18 year olds. They are fantastc for a certain demographic. |

Pretty boring pubs in my opinion - if 'pub' is the right word and they even fall into that category
No juke box, rarely a pool table - spend money sit down shut up and fuck off seems to be the ethos |

It's a pain. You can't trust yourself to hold your wee in that little bit longer! 🙈 |

Let's not forget the number of other pubs that they put out of business. A high street is very rarely improved by the opening of a spoons. But because we know the cost of everything and the value of nothing they will keep growing like a fungus. |

I'm absolutely AB! Ab Fab, one might say.. hurhurhur.. wait, no??
Well pfffft.
In town, it's not my first choice to meet friends if I'm arranging. But I'll happily meet friends there as a starting point if that's what's occurring.
In a new town/city though, I will absolutely hunt down a Spoons, cause it's an 'old reliable' for me, there's not going to be too far to get to one, and they do broadly have a good choice of ale on at bloody good prices. |

I went with a friend to Wetherspoons. I ordered my meal at the bar and he used the App. I had finished my meal and his still hadn't arrived. When he queried it he found out he'd ordered it in a different Wetherspoons ! |

"I like the fact Wetherspoons refurbishes derelict old buildings"
Totally agree. You know what to expect and the value you’re getting but every establishment is a little different and that gives them some character. Love the fact that there’s no loud music, a great spot to meet and chat with others.

Can't remember the last time I was in one. Sure B doesn't apply to them all, but with all the pubs in the world to choose from, I can't imagine why you'd ever need to go into one! There will surely always be a better option!
(And that's before not wanting to give the owner any custom!) |

One of the problems is , some of this country hate others being successful
If you don’t like his political views, don’t read them
That aside
Spoons is cheap and cheerful, it’s never pretended to be anything else
5 pints of doom bar -£10.50
£30 at your local pub
The food is cheap , but not bad
It’s a gap filler
But you don’t go there expecting a Waldorf Salad
Atmosphere, same as any other place
It’s what the customers make it
As for the toilets , I KNOW OF ONE WHERE THEY ARE ARE ON THE SAME FLOOR  |

I often think would be nice for a female from Fab S to meet me in Wetherspoons for a flirty flash of knickers or stocking tops."
One afternoon I was in Wetherspoons and I looked at Who's on Nearby. There was a man very close. We started messaging and we were in the same pub ! He was with vanilla friends. We had a snog outside the toilets and arranged to meet up that evening. |

We like the pale ales and IPA's for £2, the food isn't great but breakfast muffin and coffee for under £3 is ok.
I don't mind being in a bar with working class a
& poor people who swear , they are more friendly & entertaining than some wanky bar at £6 a pint |

Ahh good old pub snobbery. Nothing wrong with spoons. Always a good meeting point, or a good place to drop in for a cheap pint when shopping or before a gig.
The one at the university has sky sports, too, so i can watch the football on a sunday and drink £1.49 IPA's |

Some are decent, some less so. Like any chain really. Reliable food, low prices, variable clientele depending on area and time of day but that’s true of anywhere. A loutish wanker in a Michelin star restaurant is the she as a loutish wanker in spoons. Though maybe better dressed. |

Spoons were a revelation to me when I met my partner 8 years ago who often ate in them when staying away. I‘ll admit that I looked down on them in the past.
They’re still not my choice for a night out, but if you just want a bite to eat or a quick drink then the ones I’ve been to are absolutely fine.
Quite often use The Standing Order before going to footy with my mate and we’ve met some great people in there.
Great business model and obviously fills a gap in the market due to their ongoing success.
That said, our local village pub, which costs around £6.00 a pint and doesn’t do food is still our favourite as it’s in walking distance and is where our friends and community meet together.
