Been into a few Wetherspoons in last few weeks,
I asked about why no steak meals on the menu
They said its because some customers were returning their steak meals either under cooked or over cooked.
Its all about how you define Medium well done or rare.
Like the saying goes.one mans meat is another mans poison

Just been to our local Cote, £24.85 for two courses. We both had sea bass, followed by sorbet, plus one beer and one small rose. It's not cheap where we live, I think there's a Wetherspoons in Twickenham,which will be heaving today as there is rugby.

I'm always impressed by Cote. It's easily the best chain restaurant.

I need to get out more because I have never heard of Cote and never been to a Wetherspoons.

Wetherspoons lasagne and chicken tikka masala are both excellent. Also the breakfast muffins and tea and toast for 2.49 are brilliant bargains.

Pensioners special small fish and chips and tea £9.99.Probably a goldfish!

Whingey. The small fish and chips isn't a pensioners special. Wetherspoons don't do pensioners specials and the small fish and chips is much cheaper than £9.99. if you've never been you really shouldn't comment.

It's haddock in Scotland and cod in England.

Easier and more profitable for them to flip a burger than try to find staff that can cook a steak properly.

Also, I expect they get plenty of people saying their steak wasn't right and wanting a refund, even though they had eaten most of it.

What is the current price for a kilo of decent rumsteak currently?

Never said it was a Wetherspoons. Alton fish and chips shop.

They sell fried goldfish?

Avoid the one in Edinburgh next to the station, the cooked breakfast was one of the worst I've ever had.

So I ahve looked. About £60 a kilo- so £15 for a 250gr steak. Just impossible to make a profit in a cheap restaurant like Weatherspoon.
