I think their food is enjoyable, but has anyone read the calorie content? ?

I was joking! Wish we had a duh emoji. We often have lunch there.

We are regulars at Wetherspoons. We have stayed in their hotel too which are great. Certain members of our family make fun of us for loving Wetherspoons. Gone are the days when they attracted drunks because of the cheap booze.

I'm a bit of an old stick in the mud, foodwise.
I love well cooked, large portions of traditional food.

They do have magazines on the tables giving the owner's pro-Brexit views. It's not compulsory to agree with those, tho.

We always find a weatherspoons when shopping for a cheap but good coffee. A lot cheaper than Costa etc. Only £1.20 a large cup and as many refills as wanted.

I think it gives very good value food. I expect it varies from place to place, depending on the staff.
Ours is very popular in the daytime with older folk.

Ah ok, thanks bluebelle.
I didn't know any of that.

Some of it may be a class thing as Wetherspoons is looked on as chavvy also lots of political tension over Brexit etc

I've eaten at two different ones and enjoyed them both.
I don't understand why they're frowned on by some, and that's genuine puzzlement.

Our local 'spoons' isn't half bad for what it is.

Our local 'spoons' has closed because some has crashed their car into the kitchen causing a lot of damage - Freudian do you think?
