[Closed] The people who go to wetherspoons

Wetherspoons is posh for Brighouse!

I've had many a good night out in the 'Spoons in Merthyr* when up at BPW. Some great beer choices as well.

*Not [i]always [/i]ending up in the Vulcan, I should add.

Cool story bruv.

Normal people are so scummy aren't they.

I was shocked when I headed into Brighouse the other day. And I live near Keighley.

I was looking for healthyish food though, which was maybe a bit overambitious.

Wetherspoons generally has exactly the kind of clientele you'd expect in the cheapest pub in town.

I'm sure those kids will be in school tomorrow, bright as buttons and eager to learn.

not keen on wetherspoons myself.....always too big a building and very echoey

Big fan of Wetherspoons. Great breakfasts, decent range of beers, good value for money. Often in interesting older buildings that have had features retained - one in Cambridge is in a great 1930s former cinema.

Depends where you go, round here the one in town a few miles away is crap, but the one on the high street is great..
Bit like most pubs really..

Their curries are pretty good.

O

Foods crap but a varied selection of beers nothing too much hipster but usually something drinkable. It's cheap and top of all is - no ridiculous music playing at any time. You can have a decent conversation

Is it full of really judgemental people?

Have a good shower when you get home and burn your clothes.

Bet you felt a bit 'excited' though?

If you want to see more ordinary people in their natural environment, may I suggest a football match?

There might be some swearing, but if you get scared, tell a policeman you own a woodburner and he'll hold your hand.

I like a Spoons. The beer is always good, with some variety and it's almost always very well kept too. The food is OK too, not gourmet or overly exciting but always consistent and you know what you'll get. And it's obviously cheap.

Is it full of really judgemental people?

Depends - it's fun to people watch in there... but what if the people watchers are watching other people watchers...

if you get scared, tell a policeman you own a woodburner and he'll hold your hand.

*Applause!*

Beat me too it!

Can't beat a 'spoons*.

*apart from Minehead. That one is shit.

I am judgemental, correct.
That's why I post on here.

Can't beat a 'spoons*.

*apart from Minehead. That one is shit.

Oh yeah, think you're better than Minehead do ya?

On a day trip to Bristol, we went to the one right on the harbour side, lovely spot.
Fed and watered two adults and three kids for lunch for £18.
That includes a fancy pants San pelligrini lemonade for 99p, which is £3or so at pizza express.
I can't knock them.
My local one, in sowerby bridge, does "appear" to be in touch with local history and has a decent range of ales on, often from local breweries and is quite a nice place.

The staff at Minehead looked like they had all bee shown photos of their own arses and food had been on a hot plate for about a month.

Skipton, Buxton, Ilfracombe, Great Yarmoth, Colne, Bingley, York etc. All very, very marvellous.

It would appear that we *are* the people who go to Wetherspoons.

The one in Preston is really nice*, if bloody enormous.

*For preston. 🙂

Maybe this might help..

There's people at the bar who were talking about being out on the lash all day and families just ordering food with kids under 10 years old at 9 o'clock at night.

That's the problem with the plebs- up close they are never quite as you imagined them whilst having your artisan coffee and reading the Guardian.

Think I went to the Merthyr one once. It was ok. Great selection of beer at fair prices. I did see one bloke with a hilarious slacks and, I dunno, sort of orthopaedic shoes combo going on...but he didn't look like he needed them. Anyway...gave us a few giggles with our beers.

Surprised you could see anything from table height, DD.

Feeky little chucker! 🙂

They do kiddie seats - even at nine o'clock.

Often have eggs Benedict at the spoons in Stourbridge, better than the French bistro at the other end of the high street

😀 @daidarcy!

Mr Tumble?

I've just spent the weekend at Pontins in Prestatyn, I don't feel I can comment on wetherspoons.

You just have to pick the right one, wouldn't dream of going in the local one with the GF, it's just full of taciturn 50-60 year old builders getting pissed and people wit tats on their knuckles (mostly women).
Big fan of the pulled pork burrito and pint deal, went to a huge spoons in the city near Bank of England on Sunday and not a chav in sight, great pint of Mauldrons mole trap too.

'And Dylan can't sue'.

Good one in Aberystwyth too,old station building ,much better than Starling Cloud down the road i'm told by friends as i now live else where.

Doesnt Jay Z and Beyonce like Wetherspoons, Or was it the Beckhams? Victoria and Brooklyn at Tuesday curry club

Gourmet burger and a pint for 6.50 ish. What's not to like. And the big breakfast is bang on with a hangover.

I go to wetherspoons, but then I'm a notoriously oiky prole.

40 you cheeky ****er!

When I lived in Brighouse, there always seemed to be lots of people with a limp. And lots of people in slippers!!

Wetherspoons pubs are generally decent. Good choice of beer and decent food for decent prices.

Rockhopper - that one in Bristol is a Lloyds Nr 1 - big difference round these parts 😆

He should try the one in Bedminster wallop. 🙂
