Love a spoons brekky, filling and really tasty. People knock it, methinks it's just snobbery. Excellent value for money. Re the sauce sachets, pre Covid they had small metal 'carrying baskets' (same idea as Milkmens crates) that held the cruet set and four bottles of sauce (HP/Heinz Ketchup/Mayo and Tartare sauce - I think it was) . Now they're using sachets and those paper salt and pepper thingys.
Menu hack: You can order any of the 'add' items on their own. Amongst many things possible with that is having 'add chips' instead of chips, and I just noticed that the small vegetarian breakfast costs £3.55, but if you make it off the side orders, it'll only cost you £2.85 and you get 2 hash browns and 2 halves of tomato! Bargain! Small breakfast also works out at £2.90 saving 65p and with 2 hash browns and slices of bacon. There are savings to be had on most of the breakfasts and you can create many main meals yourself too! Big saving on beans on toast by ordering toast with beans on the side, you even get preserves thrown in for free!! :)
Next you go to spoons order at the bar and you can have things how you liked cooked, I work at wetherspoons and lots of customers ask for crispy bacon or scrambled eggs and it’s no problem to change it :) also at the bar you customise your order and make changes, so if you didn’t want mushrooms you could swap for an extra bit of bacon! (They are in process of enabling you to do this via the app!) And finally- to truly get your moneys worth with the coffee, as you leave ask for a takeaway cup so you grab one last coffee as you go and take it away with you :)
The good thing with Wetherspoons is you get exactly what you pay for so no complaints really, while there are other places that will charge double or more for the exact same quality of food. Wetherspoons every time plus they are more comfortable than a supermarket cafe!
Anybody seen the "London Gentlemen's Club" Family Guy sketch of the 3 blokes taking turns coughing and clearing their throats louder and louder each time while they read the paper? That's what the outtake at the end reminds me of 🤣
Wetherspoon is amazing. It's obviously not the best, but you always know what to expect at a good price. Great review as always.
I'm from Italy and when I went to the UK in 2018 i stayed in a small city near London with a friend of mine who's a local and we went, after a night out, to get a full English breakfast at a Wetherspoons, and let me tell you, not only it was an amazing "drunk food" but it was also cheap, filling and delicious, and i loved it! I would love to go again after the COVID situation slows down a bit and we can travel safely again!
Cheers from Italy 😄🥰
I have been to over 170 Wetherspoons , never had any problems, photographed every one
..have you been to the one in Bury St. Edmunds? Wow, what an architectural marvel...the one in Folkestone good too...lots of amazing old buildings repurposed...:)
Massive supporter of 'spoons. Almost impossible to knock. For the money, ridiculously good value right now. Bell's whisky, or a pint of ruddles beer for 99p ! There's good Wetherspoons ...just look out for them. A nice option food-wise is the hot and spicy chicken. Think of nando's and you won't be disappointed. 👌
9.5 from me! Had 2 large breakfasts in Derby at the weekend and couldn't fault either. The endless coffee was nice too, pretty strong for a machine 👍 glad u enjoyed urs
Full English really ought to include tomatoes in my opinion, although weirdly the vegetarian options do. I’m also not a fan of portabellos on a breakfast - normal button or white mushrooms are more tender. All-in-all this looks decent for the money though.
You have to consider that Wetherspoon have huge buying power compared with independent pubs and restaurants so it’s very hard for them to compete on price. It would be impossible for a small establishment to sell a comparable breakfast for that price and make any money as they don’t have the economies of scale. The only way they could come close would be to use extremely cheap and nasty ingredients. Wetherspoon even buy in their beer for far far less than I would be able to do if I ran a small pub or bar. For example, their real ales at 1.99 are ludicrously cheap. I’ve even seen Jaipur on there before, which would cost at least 4.50 in most pubs. No way could a local pub charge so little for such a high quality beer.
I completely agree that people are worse off than they have ever been and COVID shouldn’t be seen as their ‘fault’; but I also think that the hospitality industry probably is largely doing its best to keep prices down. In a sense Wetherspoon’s power - alongside other companies like McDonald’s - has only gotten stronger since COVID, as they have far more resilience than others, which means that they will probably continue to increase their lead over smaller competitors. Whether people are happy to accept this or not is up to them.
I used to go to Wetherspoons in Newark almost every Sunday morning for their large breakfast, as I think they're so nice and great value. Unfortunately I've not been since the first lockdown last year but I'm really ready for another after watching this lol ! Great as always Lee 👌🏻
I forgot to say that I've eaten in many different Wetherspoons and every meal is consistent wherever you go. It's a no brainer for me !!
Great review again Lee, I totally appreciate what you say about the prices, it is due to the economies of scale that Weatherspoons get as a massive chain, other chains should follow suit!
That actually looked fantastic & you did a great review of the venue, food and all the semantics entailed.
The Breakfast there looked 10/10 you had that’s on the contents, coffee with refills and price’s & environment which was all in point as far as I would’ve said.
I have a brother down in Leeds so I might try this place next time I’m in Leeds?
Great review.
During ur visit to the Wine Room I thought ur car was powering the neon signs well this vlog proves it! Ur face, in the car, is lit like s neon sign! 😂
I go up to Belfast from the Republic every Saturday and have the traditional breakfast /Ulster fry for £3,95 plus Coffee £1.20 .total £5.15 at the Spoons .Excellent value for me as it would cost at least twice that back here in Dublin .Being a pensioner i get the train up for free .Happy days as you need to be double needled jabbed to dine indoors in the Republic of Nazi Ireland .
Good for you sir👍👍
Good thinking !
Hi Lee, Wetherspoons' do charge more in certain places, especially around London. Most big pub chains do the same, this due to higher labour costs especially around London, and rents they have to pay for prime locations.
Come on Lee, 8.9 really ?
That looked the business for the money !
Keep up the great vlogs ..
Was that “Bob Fleming” in the out takes ?
Great looking brekkie from Spoons there Lee still doing what they set out to do, providing decent quality food and booze at very reasonable, not rip off prices.
Got to love Spoons.
Nice one Lee great video ,peoples man ,I could have jumped in the telly ,and have it myself ,some do have sauce bottles ,but a lot don't, the big weatherspoons in blackpool have them ,the velvet coaster ,try it out ,see yea keith and Jayne😀
Came across your channel when I stumbled on that worst cafe in London review with Darren John with the disguises 😂😂😂 . Subscribed and watched ever since 👍👍👍 quality , entertaining videos for me to watch on my iPad whilst cleaning pots up at night 👍👍👍👍 . Have you seen ‘ rate my takeaway ‘ on TH-cam ?
Had so many shit breakfasts at other poncy places. People need to get a grip who just blanket criticise wetherspoons.
I'm so pleased with that score... Some meals there are a bit hit and miss but I've never had a bad breakfast at spoons yet!
Couldn't beat that with a stick. Well worth it. Sorry about HP fiasco ! 9/10 for me.
Oh my God, where's the black pudding?
Was in Liverpool over the weekend to watch my team demolish Everton and celebrate a mate's birthday.
Sunday morning got the veggie variant of the breakfast at the very busy Wetherspoons in Liverpool Lime Street station (nowhere else close by that does hot, cooked breakfast on the sabbath AFAIK).
It was only £3.70 or so and really pretty good; hot, tasty and filling.
Amazing review Lee I'd say 8 out 10 and nice free refills on coffee
Looked great and even better value. Agree some places have gone mental with breakfast prices
We eat at wetherspoons quite often with the kids. Cheap and cheerful and always found the breakfast decent. Can't complain 😌
I work at jd wetherspoons distribution centre in daventry and ur correct prices vary depending on region! We get free meal in canteen every shift and food is always good
Good value all round really Lee some sunny Sundays I'll have one and nice cold beer kick off the day
Ill give that a 9. for the price looked good, prefer smaller pile of mushrooms to one large one. but thats by-the-by.
Hi Lee! As I will say it depends on which one you visit. The two where I am can’t serve their meals warm enough. I can’t complain about the price or amount on a big breakfast. I usually go for the smaller traditional as the big one is too large. The bottomless coffee or tea is a great thing they do. The ones I have visited had their sauces in bottles every time which is easier 9 for me as eggs not runny enough
When we we’re in uk I was a coach driver and when I did a out of town tour I always popped into a Wetherspoon for breakfast and always went for a breakfast which I had a traditional with no tomato and a extra egg with the unlimited tea all for £3;50 ,, bargain I always thought as it was great quality, hot and I always knew what to expect.... here in mallorca we get English cooked breakfast always nice and always around 5e not bad quality and lovely.... when you visit I’ll treat you to brekkie.... thanks andrew
Hello Lee I prefer to go to the bar to order mine really, yes it looked good and I like my eggs like you do certainly no grumbles about the price and the staff seem always aware and good service. The coffee is another win its Lavazza and a good quality and you have about 10 choices on that machine and tetleys tea if you want. I also agree with you about tim martin the boss. Good vlog
I worked in Wetherspoons in Heathrow T4 around 2003-2004 part time, absolutely loved it, was non stop and the food was great. Once served the roadies of The Darkness a shit load of Bloody Marys at 7-8am! Back then, i had no clue who they were until my manager told me but they were fun. On an early shift I always had a bacon sandwich, evening shift..chicken alfredo or ham/egg/chips, burger etc. We would regulary serve tikka masala at 6:30-7 as it was airside so anything goes! Loved my time there, it was well paid compared to hotels in the local area, always fed and watered at end of night. Overall we had a great team and was voted no.1 in the UK during that time!
This Wetherspoons is over the road from me.
Was in Tenerife last week and went to The Palms fish and chip shop you reviewed. Spot on really enjoyed it. 👍
Cool, Thanks :0)
Also went to Mr Singhs... great food as well.
I usually give Wetherspoon a 10 out of 10 for value & quality their coffee & free refills are really great value to & taste great 👍
7.4 in my yes lol the black pudding again. Great vid boss
Great looking breakfast and the free Lavazza coffee refills 10/10
Cracking video as always MacShuttle. Others may disagree but I think that breakfast looked lots better than that Morrisons swill recently
I have had at least 2 "Spoons" breakfasts with my Missis recently; and they have been nice
Brilliant vlogg Lee. Good score. Next time in Mansfield try Stag and Pheasant for breakfast. ONWARDS
Love a spoons on a football away day. Cheap and cheerful with a brilliant choice of beers and ciders, proper working class boozer. I generally go for the breakfast wraps
Pre Covid the sauces were always in bottles since they are in the annoying sachets. City centre Manchester the price of the same breakfast is around 50 pence dearer, still good value.
Very good value for that breakfast & coffee 👍
I have had breakfast at various Wetherspoons and overall they were good but there were a few exceptions.I really enjoy their sausages.
The cooked vegan brekkie in 'spoons', hard to beat, plus the cheap coffees & teas. I know, have tried (and failed) to find a cheaper vegan brekkie option when out...and if you fancy a pint with it...go ahead! 😀 It's now gone up to £3.70 (from £3.35) but come on...recently had one in the Barrel Vaults in Kings X, you try and get a similar in central London for that price...plus you get to sit in (generally) nice surroundings and stay for as long as you want to. Lots of vegan options now for us.
Never forget one time, was in the one in Victoria Stn (London) and for some odd reason started talking to my partner at the table about Tim Martin, the next minute, we look to the bar and guess who was sitting there....Tim Martin (lol)...our jaws dropped....LOLOLOL!!!
Been a fan of 'spoons' for some time, had some great times in there, over the years.
Looked really good and at that price you can't go wrong👍 solid 9 from me Lee ♥
In the 70s we use to go in this pub under age drinking, it was the Black Bull then. Best special treat breakfast is at Betty's tea rooms so tasty
wetherspoons' breakfast is amazing
@@jock8523 lol
For the cost and effort they put in to supplying a decent product and cheap hot drinks they do deserve a top score 👍🏻
Hello, MacMaster English Breakfast looks yummy a good 9 out of 10 for me, especially for the price 😋👍
Pub breakfasts are so much better than cafes i no idea why :)
The fish and chip shop opposite is better than amazing, love seeing our glorious city in your reviews.
You are right Lee Wetherspoons do charge different prices - 4 in Manchester City Centre and prices differ on each of them
10/10, great food and no rip off prices!!
Great vlog Lee for the money you can't beat that .
Whenever at a 'spoons, which given I live in The Netherlands right now hasn't been that much this past 18 months, I go for the Eggs Benny. Yes, it's not going to win awards, but it's cheap and cheerful, and fills a gap. I've paid double for ever-so slightly better.
That Tim fella that runs Wetherspoons though...
Don't believe every thing you read in the remain media
Wetherspoons offer a really good deal with their patronage which i have found for many years from pub friendly kids and dogs to their food and drinks which is in comparison to other similar venues the quality is often far superior so good on you Wetherspoons keep on doing what you do. Nice video Lee thanks.
Looks exactly the same as the one I got served at The Punchbowl in York, which tasted greasy and was generally poor. Glad yours was better👍.
I would give the breakfast a ten for the price, two cups of coffee costs £5 in most places
Price varies between different parts of Spoons business. Lloyds No.1 are usually a few pence dearer but you can get Black Pudding as an add on. Although I tend to go for Eggs Benedict myself
my mum in Essex has had two cold cooked breakfast so far in the last month they did not even care about the quality
Looks really nice, I knew you would like the eggs , 9/10
did look quality i always go for the breakfast bloomer (without butter) from the look and price 10/10
Breakfast looked good, and as you say at that price you can't argue 👍🏻😊
I agree with your comment about the sauce sachets Lee, can't abide the blo-dy things! They used to have bottles for all their condiments, all branded quality items, and guess what? The great unwashed used to nick 'em, I've witnessed folk walking out with 3 or 4 bottles at a time, spoils it for the majority of us.
"balls' 🤣🤣 definitely keep the bloopers in 🤣🤣
Lee that breakfast Looked really good mate... Good value for money... And branded sauce and branded butter. You can't go wrong with that so got to be A solid 9 for me... 👍👍💰 Great vlog as usual ...
Thanks Robert. 🕶
Agreed, it's decent enough especially for the price- a solid 8.5 from me(includes an extra .5 for the value). The new breakfast muffins are very nice too.
Great vlog; great to see it was not an elitist review!
Thanks Yvonne
If you're even in Thanet (Kent) try the Weatherspoons in Ramsgate. The food is standard but the view on the upstairs terrace can't be beaten as the pub is on the beach. 😎
I did a vlog in Ramsgate outside the Wetherspoons there. :0)
The mixed grill is good in the crossed shuttle as well👍
I like Weatherspoons! Excellelent value! If it’s not good enough for you and you want the best you have to pay for it!
I've always enjoyed the wetherspoons full English breakfast, very tasty, plenty of it, presented quite well and value for money. The only little down side for me is I prefer a little bit softer egg than what they usually serve and wish they served it all day instead of stopping it at 11.30 in the morning, but on the whole a score of a good 9 out of 10.
Bacon could’ve done with more done!
Looked brilliant for the price too.
I have to say we’ve only been to Spoons for breakfast at Birmingham airport or if we’re at the NEC.
I just looked on their app and the large breakfast in Birmingham airport is £11.75 and the coffee with refills is £3.15 so total of £14.90 - yep a lot dearer but then they must have to pay stupid rent prices.
Got to say we always ask for burnt bacon and the really do a great job. 👍🏻😋
You need to start trying hotels, you can often eat as a walk-in for a reasonable price and that includes unlimited portions. I ate at the England Training Ground’s St George’s Hilton some years ago and that includes a full selection of Cereals, Juices, Pastries, Breads, Cheeses, Cooked Meats, Fruit, Hot Drinks in unlimited quantities and a Full English with the option of Kippers, Haddock, Eggs Benedict or Porridge. That was £12.50 and I’m sure other venues would be cheaper still. Even Supermarkets or Weatherspoon’s aren’t that great value if you factor in a full breakfast rather than part breakfast and somewhere like the Hilton, you get a large compliment of Chefs rather than Cooks to make it for you and possibly cooked to order.
The hot chocolate and coffee is very good, The breakfast looked good and plenty of it. Its a 9 from me. Will have to try it
That camera quality is insane, Lee!
Thanks. It's the iPhone 13 Pro max. 👍🏼
Had one this morning, kept me going till dinner.
I was at a festival in Alfreton and went for a spoons breakfast every day for a week and it wasn't bad at all.
I used to love the big glass bottles of Heinz & HP you got or even smaller ones in cafes. Those sachets are not the same experience,,,
Ok Lee! My only preference would be to have WHITE plates! And the messy sauce packets….? Makes me want to carry my own bottles of sauce in my coat pocket!! Top man! Top Master!
Got to say i was surprized how nice it looked would give it an 8 on looks, also a lot of places offer the breakfast at a cheap price but make it up by charging overpriced tea and coffee, but to offer free refiles that's a bonus
I go for the £3.95 Traditional English breakfast 3:58, amazing value, would be interested in your review compared to the larger one you had. Don't forget to ask for it to be piping hot.
It's a good breakfast if u don't like something... for me it's beans and tomato. They will put something else on. And poached eggs they do as well, they're done always good when I go in my local town
Alright Lee yes superb value without a doubt, and yes sausages are pretty good but VFM superb
9.
Good value for money
Looked nice
Nice butter with toast lurpak
Brilliant coffee deal.
Best wishes lee
Definitely 9.5 for me, the bonus is the free refills. I like Hot Chocolate and before covid you only had 1 but they've changed it to refills now, so it's ideal for me. Stay safe
Great value for money Lee 💰 can't beat it for value looked delicious 😋 9/10
I would so love a breakfast like that. Bacon looks fantastic (we only get streaky here in Nevada) Free refills on nice coffee. And the price!?!? Wonderful. I’d have to give it a 9.5 on looks alone.
Hey Nevada. USA on the 8th for me. 🇺🇸🕶
@@TheMacMaster Heard that you’re going to Vegas. Maybe one day you can head up to Reno - only 440 miles from Vegas. Have a great trip and looking forward to seeing your reviews of Sin City.
Really surprised that you enjoyed that. Me and my wife went to spoons for breakfast regularly prior to lockdown but after lockdown it has changed so much. The sausages are cheap and awful, the hash browns greasy and the bacon cold and fatty. They’ve stopped doing the Scottish breakfast too up here. They have removed so many things from the menu and cut down the portion sizes. Maybe it’s just Scotland or maybe the quality varies depending on whether the chef actually cares about what they’re producing. Anyway glad that you enjoyed it. Try the same thing in Scotland if you ever venture up here, especially in Glasgow and see how it compares.
You sound like a SNP supporting 🤡
Every spoons ive ever been in before lunch for football,ive never seen anyone actually eat.lol
You missed having a fresh orange juice got to have that as well with a full English lol
Before this mad situation you had all your sauces in bottles at every Wetherspoon so I guess the sachet situation is temporary, but I agree with you that a ‘Spoons breakfast is worth every single penny, and unlimited tea and coffee is a bonus. For me it’s a 10/10
Went to a Wetherspoons in Meadowhall shopping centre in my hometown of Sheffield and it was terrible. Flip side I went to one in Liverpool and had bacon and pancakes and that was amazing !! Although that was after a night out which could have corrupted my brain 😂😂😂😂
Love it in Pudsey Wetherspoons, had breakfast there it's ok 👍
Price does vary depending on location, and also what competition there is in the area.
Yeah for the money it's good I've had it a few times the breakfast and the fish and chips are prob two of the best meals you can get in there Burgers aren't bad either would like you to review a Premier Inn breakfast heard it's even better
... The Morrison’s breakfast was made with all the cheap in-house products they sell in their fridges and freezers! ...
With prices going up , everything,Lee ,you top business man,it's ok eating it,what's price costs to makeing it ,and overheads,and under skilled staff, how would you be costing,buying , to make a profit, answer,👍
