      You are right. Very well run indeed. The business model will survive anything! Those small highend places just wont get the business in the UK market. It's impossible the UK. Wetherspoons has survived as the answer to over inflated taxes and living costs for the standard of living. Cant blame them for providing a good standards (not great) everytime when that is what the people demand of them. Go to a sh*t area soaked in poverty and swarming woth pickpockets and you get a wetherspoons that caters to this. You can tell how good the area is by looking at wetherspoons. They are a very local type place.

    Looks like you ordered the special ale/bitter at the first one and lager at the second. They usually have a special on that is very cheap, the lager would be closer to normal price but still reasonable.
    You complained the first beer was "warm" but ales are served at cellar temperature not chilled you heathens. If you like cold beers, don't order beers that aren't meant to be chilled.
    If you order gazpacho soup would you complain if its cold?

    I think the food and drink they serve are the exact same across the whole country. The only difference is the quality of building and location I suppose. I tend to avoid them unless I'm in a town I've never been to before and it's kind of a safe bet as you know what you're getting.

    As a chain, they are doing well considering how difficult the hospitality industry in the UK is. You get regional decor and regional food at a very good price in them. Comparable chains like beefeater etc... are hardly ever as good an atmosphere and almost never as well located. People use them to complain about like they complain about the weather in the UK. But they keep going back and it keeps raining!

Like the old saying, you get what you pay , hopefully lol

    Wetherspoons do vary. I'm a wetherspoons mystery shopper (I've reviewed maybe 30 different spoons in the last 6 months)and the styles, food and atmosphere can vary greatly. It's cheap and cheerful food. Reviewed on in Wembley which was shocking. Wrong order, took too long and was cold.

    You should visit more to get an overall picture of them. they are cheap and cheerful, possibly not the latter, a step up from the spit and sawdust London pubs of the past... I last visited one in the mid 80's, it had an inside Gents which even then many London pubs did not. Sticky carpets were normal in most pubs if they were carpeted. The grottier the pub, the warmer the welcome and actual locals in them.

    Have not been in Wetherspoons in London for many years but I remember the Knights Templar being good. The worst I have been in was the Millers Well in East Ham, bad food and often bad beer. In central London the worst was one in Kingsway, Shakespeare Head; beer was ok but they burnt the food. The Ledger building in Canary Wharf, Metropolitan Room at Baker Street and Liberty Bounds next the Tower where good. But they may have all changed since I was last in them.

    The one just down from my work has been voted worst in kent, but I go in there for lunch in between shifts if I'm working a double. The food is quite nice, but if you order from the children's menu (I have a light appetite) which either comes with a banana, they NEVER remember it and you need to tell them before they scarper. Also their Wifi for ordering is so dire, even the staff admit to it. Ended up paying for my meal twice as wifi cut out when I clicked on pay and it said payment was unsuccessful. Next time I'll just order at the bar and pray my table doesn't get taken over. Maybe I should write a note "ordering at the bar. Table in use"

    For me, Wetherspoons serves a purpose; primarily it is cheap! However, in saying that, pre-pandemic when I actually worked in the office in London, The Willow Walk in Victoria was probably the best pub in Victoria in terms of how long in took to get served at the bar. The bar could be 3 deep on a Friday night and they always had enough staff to serve you quickly. Oh, and it stayed open later than some of the other pubs in the area! Sure, there is the carpet and the fact that some people have been there from 9 am, but as I said earlier, it serves a purpose!

      You do know all food establishments in that price bracket and even higher extensively use microwaves its how you serve bulk amounts of customers in a quick and cheap way, I feel there is a lot of snobbery involved in that criticism, regarding the beer if its not out of date whats the issue? Do you only drink beer on the day its made? Wetherspoons with its massive sales can guarantee the beer will be consumed before it goes off, would you rather the brewery tips it down the drain and makes a loss?

      Call me a snob but you are welcome to cheap food and beer.

    I really like Wetherspoon. Some people say it's cheap and not the best quality, but it's still good food and I don't see the point in paying extra just for 'style', maybe it's the Yorkshire in me that I don't like spending much.
    Some of the best I've been to are The Royal Hop Pole - Tewkesbury, The King's Head Inn - Salisbury & The Globe Hotel - King's Lynn, but I've only been to 40 around the UK.

    Wetherspoons offer great value for money.

    They used to be very good when they first expanded across the country. A lot of bad experiences since then. In one pub they had to go though every glass they had to find a clean one for me. Somebody must have emptied pithy orange juice into the dish washer as every glass was contaminated by the orange fibre and they mustnt change the water. I had a burger that was supposed to come with salad and i literally got a square inch of lettuce. Plenty of them have carpet so sticky your feet are stuck to the carpet when you move. Often soft drinks from the pumps are flat or 'offish' or beers are flat and have to be topped up from other pumps. Sometimes the food looks as if it has been recooked and you wonder if its come from another plate or another day.

    • @chrisamies2141

      It's a chain pub that also serves food. They have different names because pubs do tend to have different names - Wetherspoons' names will usually reflect the local area, being named after someone famous from that town, or something it's known for. Others are more generic such as "The Moon Under Water" (a name taken from an essay by G. Orwell).
