deej Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I like Spoons. Obviously its low quality food, but if you're paying £5 for a burger, chips and a pint it's hardly going to be gourmet stuff is it. Absolute value for money, and usually a good pint in the one I would go to as well. Shame you end up in another fucking dimension when you need a pish though 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Van Tee Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I like Weatherspoons for a couple of beers at the start of a session. Owner's a w****r but always stocks a selection of interesting beers and ciders from local independent brewers and the prices are amazing, £2 a pint in 2019 takes some beating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pints in the two Spoons (that I know of) in Dundee/Ferry are usually on the upper scale of quality too, tbh. It's a decent place for an afternoon pint. Got to be out of there by about 6pm though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree house tam Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Wetherspoons is for underagers and minks. Shite drink, shite food, shite owner, shite customers and more often than not the toilets are fucking miles away from the bar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Wetherspoons is alright, wouldn't go there for a birthday meal but its passable.cheap as sin and sometimes that's all you want. Free coffee refills deserves a mention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The £2.00ish pints are always pish and not worth that much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shite drink, shite food, shite owner, shite customers and more often than not the toilets are fucking miles away from the bar.This just singles you out as a snobby b*****d. No-one is saying it's high quality food but it serves a purpose.I'd also throw a wee bit of a defence to the big arsehole owner guy. Did I not read somewhere that they treat their staff well (better than average catering/pub trade) and the fact they try to support local products is definitely admirable. On the whole, not somewhere I go if given the choice. But each to their own. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in no way a snobby b*****d, I do have a minimal amount of self respect though and of course it serves a purpose, usually for underagers and minks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Is underage drinking in pubs still a thing? I thought the whole under 25 thing made that a non issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonus in there is if you're into people watching (from an anthropological perspective of course), then there's a real varied representation from all parts of the Peoples Republic. Guy tried to sell me perfume and X-Box games from his manbag and a 32" flat screen tv which he said was in his van round the corner. Characters indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staggy1929 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I was in Wetherspoons in Glasgow on the way back home from holiday and had a chicken burger from there and it was surprisingly good. I rate it as a cheap pit stop tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
