I really love this video. I'm fascinated by Wetherspoons and they always feel like a home away from home whenever I'm in the UK, regardless of how unfamiliar the town my be. Sadly my local Spoons in Cork, Ireland, is closing down. Cheers for the video, must get to Southampton sometime! Rory
I feel the same, always somewhere nice and reliable to go to! Thank you for watching, glad you liked it
I tell you what I thought it was just my pub and my team that turned into children when the customers leave… nice to see other Spoons are the same😂😂
Nope, definitely us too 😂😂 it's a great coping mechanism
Amazing Documentary! Keep up the fantastic work :D
Thank you!
I used to drink in this pub a lot when I was living in Southampton in 2019/2020. It’s great to see it from the other side.
I probably served you back in the day! Glad you enjoyed the film
Fascinating documentary about the best pubs in Britain 🍻👍
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
same here in Kings Lynn weatherspoons Globe Hotel,Day time is when the Customers trash the place up,Morning time is when me and other cleaner has to clean every thing up,7am shift finished,Day time shift starts again,Goes on 24 7 days a week non stop
Wow this is really good! It’s so different and that’s what makes it so good! Top quality
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it
my local Wetherspoons was in the CAMRA good beer guide - then went out of it - then got back in it.
Great job!
Thank you!
allmost the same as Weatherspoons where I work as well,Same sort of tables and chairs,Have to keep on taking the chairs out of each table to put the hoover under each table,Takes a lot of work to do,I try and find the easy ways to get through them all,The bar floor tiles and tough to clean,I have to get the Mop and soak the tiles,Then use the floor scrubber,Just to get them all cleaned up,Then have to keep on mopping them to get them all as dry as I can,That normally takes about an hour to do
jade you’re actually hilarious
I do like the roof garden there, nice in the summer.
Yeah it's lovely up there when it's warm and sunny, thank you for watching!
Nice vid... thanks :)
Thanks for watching!
I have (mainly miserable) memories of working for spoons a long time ago. Feel bad for the kids working here, it's a god awful kip of a company to work for. Hope most of them move on to better things.
It’s really not😂
I only planned to stay for a few months too.
2 and a half years later.
Honestly mood
I love Wetherspoons pubs. Good cheap beer, clean kitchens and clean toilets. Wetherspoons in the Official Food Hygiene Regulations - Scores on the Doors - always score 5 out of 5 ( of all the Wetherspoons pubs I have checked ). My only beef is - I have read in some newspapers that Wetherspoons - in the early days - bought beers near the sell-by date and sold them quickly ( all within the sell by date ). Now it would appear that Wetherspoons seem to be denying this , and seem to to be denying any UK papers printed this. Someone tell me I am wrong.
I worked for them for 15 years. It's a myth they bought beer with a short date. They can shift beer faster than other pub companies meaning they sell on volume rather than price. They've always had great buying power from breweries. Hope this helped😊
Our weapons in Worthing does not seem to want people with disabilities there I like to sit outside on the table and chairs I've done this for several years the new manager had taken them away for good in this lovely hot sunny summer
Wow …. Creepy Alan from Newbury 😂
that Sam guy is a right character. Glad he’s not there anymore… 👀
Awful isn’t he
Yeah I think he got fired not long after this
@@liamcalvertfilms oh how come?
I was just joking, he got a new job haha
It kind of looks fun but I bet it’s hell working there 😂
It's definitely not boring I'll say that much 😂
Honestly working at wetherspoons is great, once you get the hang of stuff it's really easy and good fun ^.^
If you’re good at the job, get along with the team and enjoy socialising… you’ll love it at Spoons.
The ultimate chav experience
Shame this ain't my local Spoons! Unfortunately mines the lion in bitterne! Absolutely crap but most off the staff are Brill!
Can I come down play the fiddle, went to the Solent for my music degree, Plymouth for modern languages.
Your allowed acoustic music aren't you, loopholes.
How come you never saw the pub general manager
You have three levels of management at Spoons. SL, SM and Pub Manager. You see the pub manager throwing a beer mat briefly.
I have a question. Is 47 too old to work at a wetherspoons ?
Just to add, i like it when someone said about how important it is to have a good vibe in this line of work.
This to me should be standard in any job
I’m 49 and work in Wetherspoons ☺️ never too old
Who cares really? You could argue I'm too old to wear a batman hoodie, but I like batman and who's to say I'm too old
Have plenty older colleagues at my spoons. 😊 always a great laugh everyone gets on its even good working sometimes😅

Some people care
The only bad thing for me when working at spoons was the "managers" the main managers was generally ok.. but team leaders and shift leaders 90% bad experiences with them. If your over the age of 25.. probably not the best job for you.. People who stay working there get easily promoted. Then act like the associates are slaves
Worked in several spoons, every one is different
@@holdtightadele8017 as did I, same issues at all
Weatherspoons
Gave my friend the shits
They do own a lot of wetherspoons all over the country,Now wounder they loaded with money,I get paid to do wetherspoons e learning courses on my weatherspoons account,All Questions answered correct,No more to do now till a months time and more up to date,I work at weatherspoons in King's Lynn at the Globe Hotel,Interesting Job as well,Back there in the Morning cleaning up floors,Cleaning the bar,Cleaning up the toilets,Cleaning up the staff room,Cleaning up the Beer garden,Scum Job the other morning shift,Some Customer must of got to drunk,There was sick outside in the beer garden,Some one had to clean up sick,Me,So I put hot water and bleach down,That soon got rid of it,Same time the smell and look of it made me Gag 🤢🤮
Don' t clear glasses with your fingers stuck in them !
Why?
Horrible…. Feel sorry for these people… no social lives… just slaving for everybody else’s social lives
Minimum wage and minimum reward, looks like the people made working here pleasant.
"Bar associate" 🤣
