wetherspoons despite the critics are the best thing for the pub industry for decades. A walk around London and a coffee and a cake in Wetherspoons is relaxing or a burger and beer or a soft drink is a far superior experience than the so called fast food burger chains.

Another Brilliant deal from Wetherspoons. Thanks for posting.

Nice, can't beat a latte whilst surrounded by alcoholics...or is that just my Wetherspoons!

​Calm down grandad

Most definitely not just his!

Not sure why people seem to be so antagonistic towards Wetherspoons - if there's a Wetherspoons in a (and I hate to say it) deprived area, do you really think a local spit and sawdust establishment would attract a smarter and more polite class of clientele? Wetherspoons are everywhere and as with any pub the location dictates the clientele. I have no problem with Wetherspoon and think their food is actually much nicer than the food served by more pretentious chain bars such as the Slug and Lettuce, aside from being much more reasonably priced.

By the way has anyone actually managed to find this deal available anywhere? It's getting plenty of heat but can anyone confirm that they've gotten it?

I tried getting this deal in a couple of places when I was in town today. The first one I asked for it in said that they didn't do this deal because they were actually a Lloyds (The Mile Castle in Newcastle), which I have to say in all the times that I've been in there I've never actually noticed that it wasn't a normal Wetherspoons. So fair enough, they advised me to try The Union Rooms which is a normal Wetherspoons just a minute away. In there I showed the staff this thread but they said that they'd never heard of this deal, had no way of ringing it through the till, and suggested that perhaps it was a deal for Airport branches only (which we know it isn't). So with that I decided that I'd just go to Starbucks for a coffee, I'm not really that much of a fan of Wetherspoons coffee anyway. The cake would have been nice but never mind.

I would. But it was taken over by the Witherspoons chain last year!!!!

Cold!!! Sick to f****** death of these idiots ordering coffees and cakes in the boozer,

Crazy. You are just waiting for one simple pint, there is one bar maid and they take five mins over a poncy coffee and cake !! And to take the pl$$ even more, the idiot wants to pay the £2odd on a credit card !!! Boozer for beer, Starbucks etc for coffee... simple !

Lovely, will be going to my local one. Thanks op

Cant fault Wetherspoons in any way Hot.

Its not only Knightsbridge pubs that DONT have gypsies in them!

never been to a bad wetherspoons

Wetherspoons aren't really aimed at the "Knightsbridge wine bar" fraternity, I'm afraid :wink:

​It's a full time job for some people! I'm hoping join them when I get suitably qualified :man:

Nooo. Pubs are closing because they are just that pubs and offer nothing but drinks. The survivors are those that offer "extras" such as Weatherspoons. I agree it sucks, but these are the times we live it, and they demand change.

​I am a fan of weatherspoons, but this is actually true. The IPA I drink normally only has a few weeks left on the date, still perfectly fine to drink. It's how they price so well, and that's fine by me.

The reason Wetherspoons is so cheap nationwide is they buy beer and other products at the end of the shelf life that other pubs wouldn't go near

If poss please could the original poster confirm which Wetherspoons branch they saw this offer in. As Wetherspoons prices can vary in different venues I wonder how widespread this offer/price is as £1.59 is really good value for a large coffee and cake.

[quote=And thats exactly why boozers are closing down in their masses all over the country.[/quote]
Not really, that's down to pubs charging £4+ and supermarkets charging sub £1 - spoons are clearing up because they are filling the gap between traditional pub and home drinker. Offering stuff like reasonable food, cakes and coffee means they can keep the place buzzing all day and get the best return from their investment

I might get some of this for Brexit in the morning.
I like the carpets, every spoons is unique. There's even a book about it!

Love Wetherspoons, coffe and cake deal great. Wouldn't call them Boozers, more of a family friendly place. A British Institution now. If you can't stand people having a coffee, go to the overpriced Boozer round the corner.

Certainly there are plenty of these places blighted by gypsies and their ilk who know that they open early. It can be very unpleasant and frightening seeing these sorts holding court when you just want to take your kids in for a breakfast.

What ever you think of 'spoons this is a good deal you can't even go in to one of the fast food chains and get a coffee and a biscuit this cheap

Hi

We have a lovely Wetherspoons here in Alton, Hampshire. It is very popular.

Which is the best Wetherspoons in Surrey? (as taking Mum soon)

Receipt please?

I worked/managed at 11 Wetherspoons over the years. I have no particular love for them and left a decade ago. While I have a few issues with them as a company I can say, hand on heart that their food and beer are not short dated. That's not saying that breweries don't ever send poorly dated stock now and again but any manager doing his job would refuse those products. If you really want proof go stand next to the delivery trucks and look at the stickers on top of the barrels that are coming off that back. I always wondered how stupid people are for not realising the next fact and often tried to belittle the **** customers who thought they were being clever spouting nonsense of short dated products. If you look at any of their bottled products which are often far cheaper than the local competitiors you will see there is the usual long BB4 date on these. Also their hygiene standards are usually (there are always some exceptions) far greater than many other pub chains and way beyond a lot of your local takeaways and restaurants adhere to. On the subject of clients - well thats just a fact of life, like it or lump it.

I've voted hot for Wetherspoons generally (nice food, nice beer, inexpensive, good staff, clean toilets, no music... in fact nothing to complain about really) rather than the pretentious coffee and cake (which will be good value, but not my cup of tea, if you will excuse the pun).

Not all of them just been in Southport chain and not on offer in that one

Good. Will mean there are more coffee shops then :smiley:

​well as the business I work for actually sells it to them I can assure you it's true. not saying the quality is bad but they can turnaround vast amounts very quickly whereas other chains cannot.

Ha I wish I was trolling. There's something about admitting you worked at wetherspoons for 5 years that wouldn't serve any purpose other than sheer embarrassment. Trust me

I used to work at a wetherspoons during my uni days and worked at many across the country.

I think as it was setting off they did buy sub-quality beer but they'd have no need to do it now. There was also a scandal that the beef wasn't actually beef, it was a goat from New Zealand. They've stopped that now too

What? Boozers are really closing because Wetherspoon's sell coffee and cakes and people pay for their pints with cards?

"Tap and Pay" allows me to pay for my drinks with my card in a couple of seconds. Much quicker than those Luddites who still insist on paying with cash and hanging about for their change.

So is cake at Weatherspoons nice lol?

And thats exactly why boozers are closing down in their masses all over the country.

To be fair I've had to return a pint once as it was off. That's it.

I like spoons. Cheap n cheerfull

Any way don't know about your local but mine now has introduced a awful post office single row style queuing system takes ages and before long we will need a fast pass like in some theme parks !:confused:

You can have your cake and eat it too

Have heard the "it's all nearly-stale beer!" thing from self appointed Pub Bores myself, too.

Oh and having lived in several locations in the UK, all had Wetherspoons that had toilets, carpets and people that stank of ****.

Nah, I'll just have a pint please.

I have heard this too. Urban myth?

It's chavillè at our local.. cretins!!

I don't know many H&S Inspectors in their late 70's.

There all day? - They must have been Government Health and Safety inspectors mate! I hope your pipes were clean...

I used to work for Wetherspoons and it is most definitely not in just one location.
In fact, I can confirm Slipd's statement above, I worked the breakfast shift every morning, and without fail there was the same five men waiting to come in first thing to order breakfast… and a pint, then they'd be there all day.

​Nope, mine too actually... There's usually an orderly que of rosey-cheeked, "gentlemen of the road" clamouring to get through the door at 9am - trying to get their hands on deals like this, I like to imagine? I see this sort of scene every day, on my way into work, so it must be popular :man:

Heated OP.

Most definitely not just his!

Nice, can't beat a latte whilst surrounded by alcoholics...or is that just my Wetherspoons!

Most Whetherspoons are really nice location - I do say most so Sod's law it won't be for many of us. Granted some are a bit dingy but if this was a nice quiet cafe and a latte and piece of cake for £1.59 people would be all over it!

only at 'wethersoons' tho

Sounds good
