Go to Giraffe instead? (if that's still there, not eaten there for ages, depending which terminal you're referring to)

Cannot believe I’ve been sleeping on the chicken wings this whole time. Usually order just strips but added a bunch of wings too and they were superb with a little bit of heat. £3.50 or something lol the value is ridiculous.

Quite surprised no one has mentioned Wetherspoon banning poppies in all their pubs 
Yes I know what the real story is but how the gullible fall for it.

Well we are just about to go in our local and a few of us are wearing poppies so I'll let you know how it goes.

Take a picture of the poppies on the counter, well they should be selling them.
I can confirm, also the fish and chip are on managers special.
Although I have salad not chips......

Probably completely wrong but... West Quay?
Ahhh, no, although I guess a lot of the bars look very similar.
George Hotel in Whittlesey, Cambs.
Because they haven't. Why are so many people so stupid and get their news from Facebook. They are a big supporter and sell poppies in the pubs.Quite surprised no one has mentioned Wetherspoon banning poppies in all their pubs

The worst thing they did was stop the hot dogs.
Had some better steaks in spoons in my time than proper restaurants. Even better when they were on manager special.

The problem with the margins where two small. if someone sent one back they would need to sell 3 more to make up the loss.
Best steak I ever had (eating out) was at Spoons in Southgate.
When they still did the surf and turf, the bit of steak I got with it was sublime.
That was going back a few years ago.
I agree on the fresh stuff though, the half chicken they did was pretty good as well, shame really, we don't go as a family now often at all, couple of times a year.
I still go on Monday evenings though for food and a pint.

We've been to at least 200+ Wetherspoon over the years all over the country but I have always stayed away from my local one in Hanley.
I did gig there a couple of times when it opened (yes the Landlord decided to try bands) and I used to get changed in there for the Potteries Half Marathons but stayed away from the Chavs and Crackheads.
On Monday Mrs Fox decided she wanted to try out her OAP bus pass after having it a couple of years and we went up to Hanley duck.
Hanley Wetherspoon was like any other we've been in but an added bonus of a Bouncer keeping out Chavs, Crackheads and people wearing poppies although I did buy 3 off the bar.
I enjoyed my chips and chicken bites.
We're now planning a trip next Monday on the bus to the Stoke one which is only 2 miles away.
Oh what a life.

I have no idea why it gets such a bad reputation with people however I must admit up until 4/5 years ago i thought the same.
It started off as a joke with my Sister when we started to go away a lot in this country discussing where the toilets are and then we started using them.
I then started taking photo's of the carpets for a joke but stopped a good two years ago.
Most people don't realise every Wetherspoon has a different carpet.

Occasionally you come across one thats understaffed and a bit scruffy. Generally not though.
£3.15 for 5 in my local. I'll get some next time I go.
