Two of my students worked at the Weatherspoon next door. They said they would never ever consider eating there- all food was boil in the bag re-heated and plonked on a plate.
Yesterday we were passing in front of the Weatherspoon next door to where we used to live- a beautiful historical building- and OH said we could go in and have something to eat - he lost his appetite when I reminded him of the above, and who the owner is and what he stands for. Drove down to an independent pub with great, home cooked food- for the same price ;)
