    4 Stars Wetherspoons pubs 26/09/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, Cheap, Cheap!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Dirty tables

    I've now had a drink and/or eaten in a great many Wetherspoons around Britain and I feel that I am justified in reviewing them. As I start writing this I'm unsure how it is going to turn out as I've had varying degrees of service ranging from a couple of instances of truly awful to excellent. However, the good outweighs the bad - but is it enough to get a glowing report?….read on. I'm going to focus on the main Wetherspoons pubs and touch very briefly on the Lloyds Bar brand. ~~~History and Background~~~ JD Wetherspoons was established in 1979 by a law student named Tim Martin. Tim bought the ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap food and drink

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Manky tables, out of stock of many items

    Wetherspoons, home of the cheap beer and two main meals for £5.99 deal. If you haven't been to a Spoonies or Lloyds bar where have you been?! Mind you, it could just be that you go to classier joints than me, so let's just leave it at that. There are several branches across Manchester, I have based my review on the Lloyds no. 1 bar, a branch of Wetherspoons in the Printworks. On walking in it has a very modern, casual atmosphere, The music is loud enough to be heard clearly, but not so intrusive that you can't have a decent conversation. As you would expect, it's a mix of different modern ... more

    5 Stars My Kind Of Pub 28/02/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Excellent food,wide range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not got as far as Cornwall...yet.

    J D Wetherspoon is a fast-growing chain of freehouses which has been trading since 1979.There are Wetherspoons outlets in most parts of the country and new outlets are due to open in 2001.Sadly for my husband and me, they are yet to open any premises in Cornwall where we holiday every year…but we live in hope. (No offence to any of the Duchy’s most excellent drinking establishments!) The pubs are run on the basis of providing excellent drinks and delicious, value for money food, in pleasant, convivial surroundings. The novelty of many of Wetherspoons pubs is that they have often ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages cheap food and drink, great variety

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Dodgy food at times

    I am reviewing JD Wetherspoon bar and restaurant Who are they J D Wetherspoon plc (LSE: JDW) (commonly referred to as Wetherspoons) is a British pub chain, founded by Tim Martin in 1979.[1] It is based in Watford and is listed on the London Stock Exchange, where it is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index. The Bar: I am regular customer at my local JD Wetherspoon, there is actually two in my home city and I would go to the both of them, depending on what events are going on. I would go to this bar because as I am a student, it's the cheapest in the town. And on many occasions their BLUE WKDs are ... more

    5 Stars wetherspoons - cheap, cheap, cheap 06/05/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages cheap drinks, nice tasty food

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no music so no dancing!

    Wetherspoons is my favourite pub, it provides a place everyone can go because there is no music (so people can't complain they don't like the type of music!), it has really nice, tasty food that isn't too expensive and most importantly the drinks are REALLY cheap. I am a student and find that this is one of the very few places that I can go and get drinks for not much more than union prices! You don't have to go on a special night (like student night or some other promotion)to get the good drinks offers - they are there every night! Examples at the moment are lemon hooch for 99p per bottle, £4 ... more

    5 Stars Wetherspoon - fit for a king? 14/02/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages See text..

    Disadvantages Disadvantages See text.

    I would just like to write a review on my local Wetherspoon pub, having spent a lot of time in there as of late! But no, I am NOT an alcoholic before you sad people say anything to the contrary. From entering the pub until you leave, no matter what time of day it is that you visit you are aways sure of a great welcome and a good atmosphere. The staff are there to make your experience as enjoyable as possible, it would do more than break their hearts in my mind if anything else happened to you whilst being under their care. All of the Wetherspoon pubs are either older pubs that have been in ... more

    4 Stars Wether or not... *cringes* 15/06/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Brill food, brill price

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Toilets. Ah, well, at least it's got some...

    As I am sure a lot of you know, myself and some other ciaoers recently went up to ciao.Manchester, organised by Dempsey. and he wisely chose Wetherspoons for our meal. I believe that it was a brilliant choice. My first point is that the entire chain of restaurants is non - smoking, obviously not brilliant if you are a smoker, but as for me, it is nice to have a 'pubby' atmosphere without the smoke. Wetherspoons market themselves as 'The worlds first non - smoking pub', however because of that non - smoking factor, they have developed a general public view of being a restaurant, I feel ... more

    4 Stars Wetherspoons Curry Club 18/08/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good value, wide range of food

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Carbohydrate heavy

    Arguably one of the best days to gnosh down at your local Wetherspoons is a Thursday. You may ask why ? That because Thursday is their Curry Club day and thus you can cheaply satisfy a lust for the spicy stuff. I discovered this feature quite some time ago and thanks to this I’m frequently relieved of cooking duties on a Thursday ! For a cost of £5-7 depending on where your local ‘Spoons is you can choose from a selection of 15 curries ranging from the mild (Chicken Korma, Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Rogan Josh) to mouth peeling hot (Chicken Phaal, Thai Green Chicken Curry) and unusual (Goan ... more

    3 Stars The Fleur-de-Lis, Banbury (Wetherspoons) 01/03/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages can sit 9 people on one table

    Disadvantages Disadvantages With Fleur de lis Banbury definately the service

    On a Saturday it is very hard to find a mid day restaurant where 8 adults and a todler can all sit together. So when my family all got together in Banbury we did a lot of research and came up with two places. One was extremely busy the other was The Fleur-de-Lis which is a Wetherspoons which we settled for. The seating was fine and they had a good chair for my 20 month old Grand daughter. The Menu There are some good food deals with 2 main meals for £6.69 and meals that includes the drink. Main meals Fish and chips ££5.19 sausage and mash in a rich onion gravy £6.99 chilli con carne £5.69 Five ... more

    5 Stars Great place to go of a night 15/12/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Everything!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A little music perhaps (maybe)

    Where you go out at night really depends on what type of night out you want. If you’re full of adrenaline and you need a release - i.e. you need to party till you pass out, then you’ll be wanting to go to one of Birmingham’s many clubs and bars - loud music, cheap drinks and a good time. If, however, you want a quite night out with a good pint in your hand and your friends at your side for good conversation, then I suggest you give The Square Peg on Corporation Street a go. The Square Peg is a Wetherspoons pub, and this guarantees you quality from the start. The pubs is quite big, with plenty ... more
