Who's going to have a look? ,and when ?
we are in lancaster on the thursday opening night,so for me its going to have be friday tea onwards,there until late sampling food and various spirits i reckon.
anyone else going friday night ?
 
Sorry but why would you have to sample the food?? Just go to the one in Lancaster. I've been to Wetherspoon's all over the country and just like Mac D's and KFC (which i've been in all over the world!) taste the same, nothing is different, all that will be different is the decor.

I shall be going in on Thursday or Friday though to have a look.
 
More thread duplications, I see. Someone is deliberately trying to wind up those dedicated, hard working, never complaining people, the moderators. Such action is an absolute disgrace.

As for wetherspoons thursday night, I would rather spend the evening luxuriating in a bath of cat snot.
 
I've got a Housing Association meeting in Accrington on Thursday so I'll pop in and have a swift pint.
 
Or it might have been 'fuggly'........you can put your own connotations to that. But I know what I mean.(and it may not be what you are thinking)
 
Looks like they have made a good job of doing it up, all sandblasted and nice new roof, saw the air con being craned in the other week, gotta be an improvement on a boarded up derelict mess. I'll have a nosey when I get chance!
 
We will be having a look on Thursday or Friday. Hopefully it will be on a par with some of the good ones - it all depends on the management. If they maintain high standards it could be fine. After all they don't have much competition in the town centre.

I've never been to a badly run Wetherspoons, I have faith that it will be successful. The thing that some people fail to realise is that a good pub can work wonders for the surrounding pubs too as people are more inclined to make a night of it.

My fingers are crossed for everyone, it's been a while since I've been out round Accy but for the first time in ages I'm thinking about it seriously.
 
I remember - three or four years ago - Accy Stanley were drawn against Watford FC, in I think, the Carling Cup. Accompanied by a lesbian ex-nun and a gay ex-footy referee who had once sent Mr Coleman out of the dug-out and into the stands, we left the metropolis for the big game.

Arriving at Watford, we proceeded to the ground and on the way noticed a Wetherspoons establishment which appeared to be occupied by a substancial number of ASFC supporters, so in need of some serious liquid refreshment, we entered the aforesaid premises.

There was a rack of six real ale pumps on the bar; I asked the serving wench for a pint of the one on the left (Fuller's london Pride, I recall):

'Not on', she replied

'OK', says I, 'A pint of Marstons Pedigree'

'Thats not on either'

'Adnams Broadside'

'Nope'

'Brains's SA?'

'No!'

'Youngs'

'Still settling'

'Bombardier'

'No'

'So', I said, 'Any real ales on tonight'

'No', she replied, 'they're all off'.

'OK then...gimme three bottles of Becks.'

I should add that Watford is the home of the corporate HQ of Wetherspoons PLC. The 'bar' - and that is a compliment - was an absolute disgrace. I have no intention of ever again visiting one of their outlets which as far as I am concerned are aimed at the sort of people who shop at ASDA - people who know not what they are buying but who are quite happy to join the crowd and pay silly money for tat.
 
I have heard some very good comments about Wetherspoons and a while ago when I was in Southport I decided to have my lunch in one.

I found the place on Lord Street and started to open the door but one side hit a childs push chair, or buggy as they are called. Three very young children, probably only one year old, were crawling about on the floor not far from the door, three women were sat at the bar having a good laugh and using foul language. I gave the place a miss.
I mentioned it to my mate when I got home and he has used them all over the Country and swears by them so I must have been unlucky that day. I passed the one in Accrington on Saturday and the prices in the window didn't look that cheap to me but I am used to supping in a Club where I admit it is usually cheaper.

With that post all remaining respect for you has evaporated like a summer cloud.

You had a bad experience at one Wetherspoons in the south of England where real ale is hardly the first choice of the majority and have chosen to lambast the entire chain, plus denigrate anyone who shops at ASDA into the bargain.

I suggest you go back to bed and try getting out of the other side tomorrow.
 
Too provincial for you then Tealeaf?

My daughter and I have gone to Manchester on odd times and we have gone into one of the Wetherspoons there. OK, so we don't drink beer.
We had a couple of glasses of wine and a chicken salad........I found nothing at all wrong with either of those things. I don't recall it being particularly expensive and it didn't seem like tat either.......ah, but then I am not a connoisseur.
Seemingly, you are used to far better things....and have a scathingly general opinion of anyone who does get some pleasure and enjoyment out of a visit to one of their places.
