Wetherspoons and Lloyds no1 bars

[Ruprect]

I totally agree with you there. There's nothing worse than loud music disrupting good conversation. I would like to see them offer live football though, as the combination of that and cheap booze would be irresistible to me.

Trolling again CM?

The breakfasts in Lloyds are superb (but I recommend going large).
Never tried brekkie in a wetherspoons so they might not be as good.

I want to sing their praises. Their prices are incredibly cheap, and the beers are great. As a member of CAMRA I get 50p discount vouchers and was in the west country camping last week. In Tiverton I managed to get a pint of Ruddles Best, one of my favourite beers, for 49p. In Taunton, Exeter, and Yeovil I paid 79p. Keep it up, Wetherspoons !!!

Did you go here?..

By the way, have you been to their curry evenings? Mango chutney at 'spoons... but you get an individual portion so it's safe.

Good grief, you went to Tiverton for fun?

I did a two month stint there once. Wild horses could not drag me back.

Quite simply JD buy in bulk and close to expiration dates because they know they can shift it.

Having been back of house in WS pubs I can happily state that I will never eat in one, and only drink bottled stuff.

As BBG said the beer is close to expiry date, the majority of the food is microwave then grill, frozen pre packed portions.

In the 6 I saw 5 had severe beer fly issues due to lack of basic cleanliness.

As ever: pay cheap get cheap

That doesn't sound different to any other chain really. Buying close to expiration date is fine if they sell it quickly enough, and the microwave is hardly unusual.
