    i had steak pie and chips which was fine but like you say the veg was awful. it was like it had been microwaved about twenty times!!
    Don't wrestle with pigs, you just get all dirty and the pig enjoys it.

    Definetly right ice box,the main meal itself always seems to be fine but any veg or "side stuff" seems to be garbage.

    Half the time during the day the place is empty,so I'm like you ice box,why don't they let families into these areas.The only thing is maybe bacause these areas are for smoking.But after March this won't be a problem.

    My nearest Wetherspoons doesn't allow children in at all. They were quite rude when we tried to go in with the kids.

    Smile Give the place its dues

    I have taken obiron4377 and kids to weatherspoons for many a time since its opened,but I must admit I have never had a dodgy main meal(bar the veg),the service has been top notch,the prices are reasonable for both food and drink.I have noticed though that with having young kids that Thursday and Friday can be busy at lunch time,this is probably as these are the days that most families do their weekly shopping.

    They get visitors from the licene office the whole time. If they saw kids in an area they shouldent be in then they could lose the kids licence in the worst case. Then no kids in atall! Come march there extending the kids area to everywhere but the front of the bar and the wooden floor bit.

    Thats stupid imagine not allowing you to stay if the kids ain't hungry the rule they have in there are stupid if all places IE cafe's and restaurant did'nt let us stay coz the kids aint hungry there wouldnt get our custom how petty there are .

    Considering it is fast food, it's not too bad at weatherspoons. All the food served there is little more than pre-prepared dinners. Even salads and like are pre-prepared and just put together on the premises.
    I cannot agree on the service. There is a person ( manager, I think) that wizzes through the childrens area quite often, lifting plates cups and glasses like a demon possesed, whether or not you are finished with them. That is not good service.
    An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing

    I managed to cook some peas tonight for tea. My wife is feeling unwell today. I added oven chips and a tin of John West stewing steak. All in all a tasty meal.

    Don't wrestle with pigs, you just get all dirty and the pig enjoys it.

    Yes chunks of stewing steak in a tasty gravy. Not gourmet but filling and
    easy. I need easy when itt comes to cooking. We also use the 'Princess' brand from time to time & they're equally good Connie.

    In comparison to the slim fast i've been having all week the tinned stew seems gourmet to me...i'm starving
