A Bacon, egg & mushroom sandwich before a pub opens? Surely?

Anyone who gives spoons credit for their food is an uneducated tramp. It is vile and disgusting, and not worthy of the name.

And it's not even that cheap...a steak and stale pie is about £7 these days - having eaten in far nicer pubs, as well as many nice restaurants, I can safely say spoons offers little value for money and doesn't even touch such establishments.

It baffles me why these shitholes are so busy, they aren't even cheap any more - full of scumbags and they smell of piss. I could open a nice pub in the town, same opening hours, same prices, same food and still old Bob will be in for his double whisky at 9am, Jean will be in for her small cappucino and my nice pub would be empty.

Cold, soggy chip anyone??

Yeah what planet are they on with these?? They give you 2 sachets of rock hard butter and expect you to spread it on bread which already has egg yolk dripping on it!

There are far nicer pubs with better prices as it were! But they are 250 miles away from here so I doubt I'll be going there regularly.
Apart from the steak and stale pie, there's nothing at all wrong with it in there. And it's mostly busy because of the cheap beer, though I'll hold my hands up and say it's crap, and that the Hobgoblin is warm.
Still, the Black Lion down the road has a good menu, like one of those small ones with everything you need on it, and it's all for £6. The beer is good there too! And if you much rather a proper greasy spoon, there's Three Peas in a Pod not 50 metres down the road

Was on the piss yesterday and the christmas dinner witha pint of strongbow for 5.99 was not bad. I rarely eat in spoons but given that something like a mcdonalds costs similar money you cant really beat it.

Cordon bleu it isnt, but cheap and cheerful it certainly is.

Does anyone else get this horrible aftertaste in their mouth all day after a spoons breakfast?? Like you've eaten a dead rat?

You seem to have extensive experience of eating these poorly fused gastronomic disasters that only an uneducated tramp could complement? Why put yourself through it?

It is no secret that Weatherspoons is a meat market, particularly in and around large cities, because food and beer are very cheap. The food is cooked by the lowest level of chef who relies heavily on pre-packed kits and timers.

However I still maintain that I often enjoy a Weatherspoons breakfast with mates normally after a session, as I find it cleaner (less grease) than a typical café.

Sorry greasy spoons win hands down, only thing weatherspoons breakfasts have going for them is you can have a pint with them lol

Majority of spoons food is microwaved euww.

No skill involved as goes to show, a one time order picker in a warehouse is now 'head' chef in a spoons

I've always thought that there's a grey area between the definitions of a 'chef' and a 'cook'. Surely these guys can't call themselves 'chefs' as they 'just cook' (and even that's pushing it!)

Maybe I'm wrong, but...

They operate microwaves. Thats about it.

Ah, so even 'cook' is stretching it a bit.

'Button Presser' will do then...

So that's why they all like the fruity's so much!

Lol, someone applied for a job with my gf's company, she interviewed the said applicant who previously had experience cooking with Wetherspoons.

When my gf asked what they actually did, the official job is 'food technician' but is actually just operating a microwave...
