What can I say about wetherspoons? Not a lot as I have only ever been to one. An experience I would rather not repeat

From the outside of the pub it looks very pretty, hanging baskets flowing with beautiful flowers. very attractive.

The interior is also rather nice. Well laid out. The lack of music is welcoming, as then you do not have to screech down each others ears to be heard.

You walk up to the bar (I am talking early just before lunch) to order two coffees, the girl at the counter greets you with yeh what do you want. No points there.

You ask for two coffees and she looks at you as if you have come from outer space. Say no more.

Eventually after 20 minutes she figures out how to work the coffee machine and you get your drink. Definitely a bad sign.

You then decide to order a meal. The meals are reasonable in price and they do have a wide variety. Egon Ronay works closely with wetherspoons. So you are sure to get a good feast. Looking good now, your spirits brighten up a bit.

You decide to order wine with your meal the selection is good and served at the right temperature. Now you are really on a high, things are definitely looking up.

You decide to use the bathroom before eating. A good point about the toilets is that there is wheelchair access. The bad point is, no loo roll, pee on the floor and stains on the loo. (Don?t forget this is early, imagine what it is like later on)

You return to your table ready to dine.

As you are eating your meal you notice the pub filling up a bit,and getting rather noisy. Then it gets jammed packed until you feel hemmed in.

The prices in wetherspoons are so cheap or should I say reasonable, that you get all of the local daytime boozers coming in. Mostly old men and louts who smoke roll up cigarettes (that stink) and get absolutely legless.

There are no smoking areas provided in wetherspoons. These rules are often
ignored.

Whilst eating your meal it is a bit of a pain if a few drunken chaps come up to your table plonk their drinks down and start blowing smoke over your meal. Making crude comments and asking for a chip??.potato wedges in my case.

As I said earlier no music, but hell get a ruck of drunken men and old women with dyed black hair all bunched together and it sounds just like a cattle market. The language is appalling.

Will I go there again??NO WAY.

Give me a respectable country pub any day.
