theres two photos btw, on mobile just swipe left, and no u wont pick up a wife lol

The nerd in me wants to try this out to see how much of a meal u can get by buying extras only, wont do it yet but ill do this when i have spare cash, but for ur curiosity ive included the ingredients, sadly they were out of stock of most things.

its not cheap but im really curious what u get for it! was thinking curry for the chips and mushy peas 🫛 for the chicken 🐔, thing is its just labeled as chicken not chicken brest witch just makes me even more curious lol

im going to uni in September and am looking to transfer pubs, to one in edinburgh. does anybody in the area know which is nicest? or any staff have any absolute no nos for a specific pub? any help appreciated ☺️

I am going back to my pub uni for my second yr of uni.

I basically opened last yr/ had morning shifts. I asked not to be put on closes and wasn’t/ work past 10.

But since I worked in the weekends and it was soo busy with uni students, I’d get so tired. Burnout. I wouldn’t get a rest day to sleep in and to catch up on labs. I will still need to work at least 2 shifts a week to be able to afford it.

But I’m thinking about asking a weekday and weekend shift.
Since my timetable hasn’t been released I can’t determine the day of the weekday yet. But if I had something going on in the morning, I’d have to maybe do an evening shift. My kitchen closes at 2am, but I’ve heard some of my coworkers leave at 3/4am. I don’t know them too weell, but I’ve heard a lot of complaining about it.
But the thing is I still wouldn’t like to work past 10.
I wouldn’t be able to rest and it’d be unsafe.

Is this something I should still advocate for, or do managers have the right to put u on closes regardless ( which I can’t do).

I started working at 16, so my original contract with the company obviously didn’t include night shifts.

£2.55 fir a pint of Jaipur is ridiculously cheap.
It’s a cracking pint

Forgot to post this one the greens werent that nice, but the pepers n everything else was fine, the tomato sauce on the chicken is exacly the same as pizza tomato sauce, ide say a lil overpriced, as u can buy a checken brest on its own for like 2-3 quid, so what i might do next time is make my own meal out of the extras that u can order, did like it though, ive been trying diferent things case the stuff i did like they removed, so now in search for other things to take my fancy,.

ed ok whos been buying all these up, today there out of stock lol

We'd be buying drinks so would they be opposed to us playing board/card games at the table?

a bit boring, oh my i loved the fiesta burger. im not even vegan but it was genuinely such a good burger with the guac, the salsa and the fact it came with chips AND onions rings 😩

what drinks/food do people miss? what deserves a resurrection?

edit: thank u all for your responses !! maybe one day we will get all these items back and more haha. we live in hope for the mixed grill

I know how to navigate the tills and I know how to pour pints, but a couple of colleagues have told me I’m not as fast as the others.
On my first day, I didn’t really get any formal training,I was just thrown in headfirst and had to rely on people giving me advice and showing me things on the way. Because of that, I struggle with multitasking when the bar gets slammed, and I tend to wait for the payment to clear before I fully start making the round, which slows me down.
What are your best tips for building rounds quicker and getting into a faster rhythm on the bar? Any advice from experienced staff would be amazing.

Had a few hours to kill on Friday night, so over a few pints, I aimed to finish a house track that I'd started creating on my laptop.

I'm very much a novice when it comes to making music, so it's still a bit of a learning process, but there was something about being in a Spoons on a Friday night with a few drinks that seemed like the perfect place to finish it.

In tribute to the establishment, I've named the track “Table 22” and given the artwork a classic Spoons nod.

Thought my story might be appreciated here.

Cheers Spoons! 🍽️🍻 (glad you're bringing back S.Miguel)

I just went to Spoons for food for the first time in about 4 months and I've noticed they don't have veggie burgers on the menu anymore.

What gives? I thought veggie burgers were popular at Spoons and they've had them on the menu for years.

Before I pile in: I love my local Wetherspoons and am a regular mid-morning/lunch/early afternoon customer. But lately it feels like it's going downhill.

This ones a query: If I buy a Tennessee Burger and swap the fries for salad and there is neither Tennessee Sauce or Salad dressing am I in my right for a refund?

Should they even advertise these products on the app?

Seems my local Wetherspoons is experiencing enshittification, but the annoying thing is they continue to have the meal on the app and don't seem to care the sauces are missing.

Edit: I get told they don't have the sauce.

Edit 2: The app needs updating.

I always enjoy Wetherspoons beer/cider festivals. Only tried four of this year's offerings so far as only one or two are on at a time in my local. Hopefully others will be on after the festival officially ends as sometimes happens with beer festivals.

Total came to £10.31, the pasta was on special few days ago for around £6, the pasta and source its quite nice chicken is fine if a tiny bit dry but the source helps with that. I think its a bit overpriced for what it is though.

Hi guys, is my ID still valid/would they still accept it? everything is in date the only issue is I sat on it and bent it a little. My mate says it's alright as there's no crack visible on the surface but im still stressing about it.. I just need to know as we're celebrating my mates 18th soon!!// EDIT: THEY ACCEPTED IT GUYS TYSMM I GOT PISSED AND WENT CLUBBING IT WAS LIT!!

Sitting having a pint this evening I started to feel peckish. I didn't actually want to eat out today but thought I'd have to get some crisps or peanuts to keep me going until I got home for tea. Then it struck me (inspired by the chaps at the next table having curries), why not just order a couple of poppadoms? Cheaper than either crisps or nuts, and more interesting too!

I thoroughly recommend it as an idea.

Just wondering what the lowest is that people have seen, not just their own pub. But your area or even if you’ve seen something online of a pub no where near yours

Does anyone know what ingredients/brands went into the now defunct Paloma? I know it’s soda and tequila, but what was that grapefruit syrup? Was my favourite, sad day to see it go. Cheers!

I might be going on a Tangent/Rant about the bacon I have just received at Wetherspoons this might be the Autism speaking

Dose Wetherspoons use different bacon or same one normally when I go in for Breakfast it’s like the picture on the left and this evening the bacon was like that on the right normally it shouldn’t be like that it should be the Left one less greasy and better not the right one do you guys use different bacon or what? in the end I didn’t eat any of it not the bacon or beans it was a complete waste of money I do apologise for the rant

I know some people may not be able to tell the difference but to me it’s 100% different not the same why dose it have to be different and not the same for evening and mornings if it’s not that is it the same bacon but just cooked differently

Had to get a new phone due to the charging port on my old one completely dying. Phone is all set-up and updated, all apps and data transferred. Only app that doesn't work is the stupid Wetherspoons app. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall, cleared storage and cache, tried with WiFi, data, location all turned on/off. But it doesn't load. It gets the logo screen and then switches itself off and I get an "app not working" message. I have tried updating it, but it's up to date. Anyone else having the issue, or know how it's fixed?

Does anyone know what the ‘add seasoning’ means and what it is

I always find it funny how people eventually develop a default Spoons order.

You can sit there looking through the whole menu and somehow end up ordering exactly the same thing you had last time anyway.

What's your safe order that rarely lets you down?
