Obviously doesn't go often enough to get the spelling of the brand right though!Jeez, not again ?
Not a fan - menu is uninspiring and cooked terrible. Usually filled with alcoholics and the dregs of society. No atmosphere whatsoever. Keep them. They are the mike ashley's sports direct of pubs.
When I used to go to visit the inlaws near Plymouth they had a lovely village pub, the place used to be rammed in summer with lots of families as they had a children's play area and an outside BBQ just one small area inside for people who wanted to dine. New owners - all the children's play area kit removed the vast majority of the pub turned in to dining only. The last time I went in there were only 4 people in the pub with every dining table empty. How to kill a thriving business.One if the plus points is that they are still, to some extent, drinking pubs. So many pubs have focused on their food offerings to the extent that those who want to just go out for a drink feel excluded. At least in a spoons you can have a few beers and a chat without feeling like you are in the way if diners and not really wanted
I like Spoons or Weathers which ever you choose to say, but as it has been said many times they can be chalk and cheese. Ours is horrible and I e mailed Spoons to tell them. They were in within two weeks doing work on it! It's still pretty bad but much better than it was. As for beer, I've stopped drinking beer two years ago. No one knows how to pour it anymore and the standard is dreadful. I now only sup Cider. A good Spoons is a pleasure to be in. You can quickly tell if it's a bad one. We just do an about face and find a better pub.
Is that one that you have been in? A lot of them are decent.
A few years ago we went to our local Wetherspoons for lunch with my in laws. My father in law was told that he couldn't have the meal he wanted, which was a mixed grill, because "the machine we cook the eggs in is broken". I did suggest getting a frying pan and an egg and putting the latter in the former but they said they weren't allowed to. I then suggested serving the mixed grill without the egg but was again told they weren't allowed to.
You know what you need to do,Neither is the constant sniping and arguing............
