Wetherspoons pubs
- Thread starter PaulStat

Bang on, hence why they are able to undercut traditional/independent pubs on prices.
A local landlord I was speaking to recently said that Wetherspoons buy large quantities of beer and lager that's going out of date (1-2weeks or so) and seeing as no one else will take it on 'Spoons take it on the cheap.
This isn't a problem for them considering the amount they can shift every week.

Wasps are for stinging. And eating parasites from crops.

spoons are awesome. I'd never even seen one before uni, and in town they have 2, the prices rival su prices and often beat it. A pint of john smiths for £2.05, thats insanely good. IPA for a pound. Seriously can't beat those prices. No crappy music so you can sit down with your pints and talk about stuff. I think they are very good.
our local one is ok, but is take SO long to get served at a weekend, I'd say its the most packed pub in town at weekend and they have like 2 staff on the bar 3 if your lucky. you can expect to wait a good 20min for a drink!! i like the pub in the week for a quick beer but forget it at the weekend.

There are 2 wetherspoons here in swindon.
The first one - the savoy - is a converted old cinema that does attract those who have nothing to do in their lives other than drink. Always see the same people smoking outside, always see the same people drunk at 11am outside it. Has a bit of an odd atmosphere though as they've filled the shelves behind the seating bays with old russian literature and other odd books so it gives a bit of a strange feel to the place.
The second one - The sir daniels - is only a few years old and is actually pretty nice. The food is pretty good too, so I can't really complain about it although it is completely devoid of an atmosphere.

Will be going to a spoons tonight before going to a club, its simple really, its better than all the other pubs around about, the bouncers check id so there is a chance of less idiots, and its cheap as chips.

lol Indeed, I was there on Sunday and was treated to some druggy "talking" on a phone about getting his next lot of cannabis, brilliant. Sir Daniels is the place where everyone goes first due to the mega cheap drinks, inc me
I ment to say to you, nice one at The Furnace last week, was going to come and say Hi but didn't see you after you finished your set.
I HATE places where "business type people" go for lunch.
To the OP - I think Wetherspoons is OK.
