Last week we had a couple of birdwatchers in our holiday let. They left me a lovely card telling us how much they enjoyed their stay. They said they were out all day every day and stopped off at a Wetherspoons on the way home with a lovely atmosphere, a couple of log burners and really good food. So they went in every day!

What's all this dog hater business about?

I prefer to eat in a dog-free zone as DD being around fur or feathers sets off DD's asthma. We have also had the experience of someone else's dog helping itself to a DiL's food while she was eating.
That doesn't make me a dog hater; it just allows me to have a preference.

Three cheers for Weatherspoons and any other wating place that doesn't allow dogs around other people's food. Several cafes here, especially those with space on the beach front, have zoned their eating areas, both inside and out, so that may be a way to go in much the same way as smoking used to be zoned.

It must be a bundle of fun to visit their pubs

Just to clarify I use Wetherspoons quite a lot

Odd, slightly conflicting comments Infoman?

Ah, so some are holding out on that BlueBelle, that's good to know. I don't live anywhere near one so my visits are few and far between.

Well they don’t have TV s in our local ones greyisnot

Yikes, I apologise, I see they do now show specific sports matches, I had no idea they had changed their policy on that.

No music, no sport, no dogs. Affordable food and drink in a quiet environment, it's easy to see why it's a very successful business despite it's dreadful owner.

I’ve found that Wetherspoons pubs are variable. The one in my town is spacious and quite pleasant. Not all of them are the same. I don’t think you can generalise here. As for dogs I don’t have one but quite like them. I’ve always felt quite strongly that they shouldn’t be allowed in indoor eating places or shops. I don’t think those are an appropriate environment for animals and I don’t understand why dog owners have to take the dogs everywhere. I’ve owned a dog in the past and would give him a good walk and then leave him at home while I went shopping or out for a drink or meal. I know some will disagree.

For all those who may want to visit Weatherspoons this weekend,
if you want to avoid the International rugby which is taking place again (10/11 February).

SATURDAY Scotland France 14:15pm
SATURDAY England Wales 16:45pm
SUNDAY Ireland Italy 15:00pm

sue500 I totally agree with you but when we express our opinion everyone jumps on us as dog haters NO we re not dog haters just want them in the right places in our lives and that’s not in shops or cafes/restaurants
(People are so oblivious too, yesterday I had to work in a very small room with a nice lady who worked hard and was competent but she reeked of wet dog, it was so unpleasant)

As if jumping on the smell of someone's clothes and relating it to wet dogs isn't showing your strong dislike for the creatures! It might be that she got soaked or dries her washing on musty radiators.

Well Joseann you have your own agenda to prove everyone who doesn’t want to eat with a dog nearby, is a dog hater I AM NOT A DOG HATER I ve had my own dogs over the years I only don’t have one now because I know I can’t afford the vet fees etc
And no the lady in question had not just rushed into work after taking her dog for a rainy walk She smells strongly of dog all the time and I know the reason why … she often takes her dog walks with the dog on her shoulders curled up around her neck I ve seen it now , and yes to work in a very very small room just big enough for two people is very very unpleasant

Infoman when you wrote ‘ it must be a bundle of fun to visit their pubs’ it makes it sound like you don’t usually use them

Silverlining you are right our local Wetherspoons is in a very historic building and has one wall covered in large photos of the building in use in past days

I don’t use Wetherspoons that often but when I do I ve always had a good meal at a decent price

Just to clarify,I use Weatherspoons quite a lot.

I have visited weather spoons a few times now. Certainly is very reasonably priced and often in such interesting buildings.

Love Wetherspoons! The one in a town near us has recently closed and is sadly missed.

There are few places to have a meal with children and feel comfortable without spending a ridiculous amount of money.

Daughter and I went to a small cafe in a seaside town yesterday. A couple sat just inside the door with 2 dogs. One large black one and a small terrier type.

Every time someone entered the cafe they went mad barking and it was very annoying and disruptive.

I had never been a fan of WS but went with a friend s while ago and we had toast and jam/ marmalade and with a drink which can be refilled. Really liked the bread which was ridiculously cheap,
On our first visit there was a cafuffle because someone came in with a dog amd was angry she couldn’t stay.
There are Cafés in the coast where dogs are welcome snd despite being nervous about dogs prefer not but don’t mind them if they sit quietly under tables but we popped into a pub yesterday snd suddenly two or three dogs started barking and it really startled me.
On the subject of dogs we had just a short walk and after a while started counting the plastic bags of poo which owners throw in the bushes trees on the path , instead of taking it home to dispose of or use a dog poo bin. We stopped at 53 bags. Not the dogs fault but of course it’s the owners. The old chestnut of we will pick them up on the way back just doesn’t wash because these bags have clearly been there for ages,
Why aren’t owners more responsible; why do they think that’s ok.

Thanks infoman we watch most sports, particularly football and the six nations rugby, come on 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿.

I wouldn't go there if you paid me!

As is your choice. Do you think anybody will be concerned? 🤣🤣

I wouldn't go there if you paid me!

Mizuna hope you are OK today. I can understand why you didn’t want to go home straight away.

My husband is a real home bird but likes going to Spoons and says he just likes the atmosphere. On Sat we bought a toasted muffin each with bacon, egg and a cheese slice with as much cappuccino or any other hot drink as we liked. It was about £7 for all that and it was lovely. He managed 3 large mugs! One is plenty for me. He says it is the best coffee around. We had coffees in M and S recently and it was £3.30 a cup and wasn’t as nice as Spoons.

Hope everyone who visited Weatherspoons during the football weekend managed to avoid most of the football.
This weekend 2/3 February its Rugby six nations weekend.
So if you want to avoid the Rugby these are the following kick off times this Friday and Saturday.
FRIDAY France v Ireland kick off 8pm
SATURDAY Italy v England 14:15pm
SATURDAY Wales v Scotland 16:45pm
Rugby six nations is free to air on BBC and ITV

There’s always the option of not watching tv if you really want to avoid the rugby.
And indeed avoiding pubs -if that is your habit - which show sport.

I had some bad news yesterday and didn't want to go home and be on my own with it so I took a book and sat in our lovely new Wetherspoons with a coffee, surrounded by gentle chatter and friendly faces, young mums with babies and students on their laptops. The two TV screens are always set on silent with subtitles, football or no football. No dogs, no piped music, sun filtering onto the roof garden and through the windows. Bliss for that short time.

Why do i have the feeling you have a little something against Wetherspoons Infoman
I m sure we can all negotiate our way round the tv programmes without the need for help but thanks anyway !!!
