What's it like to be such an awkward, autistic fucker?
Alexander Hughes
What the fuck's a quid?
Liam Flores
did you legit expect Spoons food to be reasonably priced and edible? You're a fucking moron
Camden Torres

One great British pound
David Miller
I had a burger there once that was decent apart from drowning in sauce but I get drunk here almost every week so thought it would be good to try.
Michael Murphy
A fucking pound m80.
Hunter Wilson
The burgers are the ONLY thing you should ever order from Spoons food wise. Even then 80% of the time they're shocking.
Aiden Russell
'spoons Balti is alright. Or it was 10 years ago when I last had one, come to think of it.
Caleb Rivera
it's ok, everyone makes this mistake once
NEVER get a cheap steak at a pub, they're always shit. Maybe one in 100 will be great but it's not worth the risk.
Eli Kelly
About $1.27 or €1.14 at current exchange rates.

But they're a fucking massive chain that advertises itself as more of a restaurant. How is the food this shit.
I've now visited the butcher and got some knuckle steak (it was cheap). Gonna salt it BEFORE cooking unlike those animals
Adam Green
>How is the food this shit.
Because they're a fucking massive CHEAP chain whose primary market is workshy gib me's.
Dominic Cox
>if it's a large company then it guarantees the food is good
How can anybody be this naive
Oliver Gray
Bars serve shit food. That's an international constant. The best bar in my town doesn't even have a kitchen, so we just bring in our own food, and it works fine.
Evan Allen
That isnt what I'm saying tho, niqqa. I'm saying how can they still be serving shit food, why haven't people just stopped eating there. Every friday night I see tonnes of people eating there so what gives.
Juan Stewart
Because they're lower class plebs who will shovel any old shit in their gobs because it comes with a free pint of Carling
Luke Baker
They microwave it then finish it off in a pan for a minute or 2 to give it the illusion that it's been properly cooked. I shit you not. EVERYTHING is microwaved, and if it's meat, they microwave then blast it in a pan for a minute.
Gabriel Edwards
There's literally a thread up right now about how sitdown chains are dying.
Charles Sullivan
It's a pub mate. A pub that serves cheap beer to plebs. When you're on your fourth pint of Stella at 11:45 in the morning you don't give a fuck how bad the food is.

Reality check:
Weatherspoons is for £2.50-£3 pints of 5% beer. That means you can get 4 drinks for an hour of salary at the end of the week with friends, and a cheap, fine, greasy meal which fills you up for £6-£10 to eat with said friends.
For the majority, it is a place to get blasted for £20, or for older, lonely chaps to drink in quiet peace in the day where they can drink a pint and read a paper for about £2.60 an hour for the whole day.
Stop thinking its somewhere which should be extraordinary, it's not. It has its purpose. It's fine, nothing special, nothing awful. You get what you pay for, the atmosphere is who you go in with, the risk is low and the pay off is low.

Translated for normal people:
Got a steak at the pub Was pretty average
Parker Rogers

You know the hygiene of the animals the meat came from is much worse than the Turks feet.
Mason Reed

I wonder who could be behind this post

A well done steak is a bit worse than average.

Do you live in zone 1 or some shit?

All 2 of them still alive, evidently.

I'm pretty sure the very last WW1 vet in the world died over a decade ago
David Rivera
I just meant the pub was full of old geesers, fellas
Eli Williams
Mate you can't buy a decent size good quality steak in a supermarket for less than a fiver. Now think the bar is expecting to make 100% profit, and pay their rent, and wages for the waitress and 'cook'. What do you expect for seven quid?
Tyler Parker
>complaining about a $10 steak from a bar Damn, you really are autistic
Adam Mitchell
Last one died in 2012 surprisingly.
Justin Cook
That's all good m8 but why couldn't they even get the medium rare bit correctly. I mean it even costs them less time to do if we're getting analytical about their entire operation.
Kevin Cox
The breakfast is good though. And they have unlimited refills of coffee.
>the meat is completely unseasoned >it's overcooked >peas on the side
That sounds like a typical British meal. What are you complaining about?
Anthony Walker
Cheap steak just doesnt have the structure to let you cook it anyway other than gray/brown dry overdone. Whatever juices are left leach out the instant it hits the heat.
Michael Anderson
Their eggs benedict is actually pretty good. And airports do it all-day, which is killer when you're flying Glasgow - London for the sixth time in a month.
Christian Davis
Your mistake was not swapping your tomato, peas and mushroom for a side salad. Also give them hell for the steak, they'll cook your second one fine.
Nolan Taylor

To be fair, OP sounds like he has autism--and I'm not talking about meme autism; that could have been avoided if he wasn't so fixated on avoiding embarrassing himself in front of the waitress. The guy was served a well done steak (it's a chain so he shouldn't expect much), chips/fries, peas, and a tomato for around 8 dollars. That's not too bad of a deal even if the food wasn't good. You get what you pay for and it couldn't have been any worse than McDonalds.
James Johnson
holy fuck the euro's that cheap right now!!?

Whetherspoons in UK. They got real ornate plates like a Moroccan mosque or some shit
Thomas Butler
I don't like steak so I'm not sure how it is, but my local wetherspoons does it for £4 with a drink on offer days.
Christopher Torres
>eating meat that isn't supposed to be well-done in Britain
It's as if you've never spent time in the country you've obviously lived your entire life in.
It sounds like you went to a Wetherspoons? Get the fish and chips or the curry. They're not going to be great but they'll be decent.
Worst hamburgers of my life have been had in Britain. Cooked to death. Brits are terrified of meat that isn't grey I think.
Aaron Bailey
U wot, any decent place will cook a proper medium rare for not that much. Best steak I had was a place near Soho for a tenner
Justin Reyes
I suppose I wasn't really including London in my statement. I don't think London counts when talking about British food because it's the only area that's properly internationalized.
Nathaniel White
I'd rather have those new American burgers at McDonald's than a steak cooked to hell and beyond
Cameron Diaz
>The guy was served a well done steak (it's a chain so he shouldn't expect much), chips/fries, peas, and a tomato for around 8 dollars. That's not too bad of a deal even if the food wasn't good.
He got a free pint of beer with it as well. Price wise that is bretty good.
Matthew Robinson
After a set of night shifts, I always get the eggs benedict. I like their rarebit burger as well. Spoons is very comfy.
Landon Cruz
Maybe you should stop eating at Wetherspoons then you cheap cunt.
Bentley Moore
The all day breakfast is pretty good too, assuming there's a cook on that doesn't overcook the bacon into a shrunken fetus.
Jose Perez
Fish and chips is always the only edible thing at a shit pub
