Mixed Grill - Wetherspoons vs Brewers Fayre - Who Wins?

[@everydayimeating3407]

Which one did you prefer? Comment Below 😀

[@Korea4Me]

I had many a lovely meal at Wetherspoon's in Sheffield but I think your juicy gammon steak at Brewer's Fayre won me over.

[@Bessie66]

Thankyou for your time and effort in doing these reviews x

[@jamesblundell4616]

Both looked dry needed sauce and mustard on them

[@stevejwilliams61]

you can put mustard on a dog turd.@@jamesblundell4616

[@angeadventures2459]

The Wetherspoon steak didn’t look as good as normal. Fair amount of food for price. The interior of brewers fair is a lot better. The brewers fayre is the winner for me. Presentation better quality better.

[@r7.a117]

Brewers fayre overall just looked better, yes more expensive but still better. It actually looked more like a mixed grill, with charing. Great job 👏

[@everydayimeating3407]

Totally agree

[@TimK2646]

@@everydayimeating3407 I think there was a lack of sauces at Spoons. Shame really. Really love some Gravy

[@GaryYork-tk2ow]

They both look delicious, I'd have no problem ordering this at either establishment. I like the fact that Brewers gives you two eggs, and I think their meat looked a little better though. Great review as usual.

[@everydayimeating3407]

The meat was for sure better at Brewers, the only thing I liked more at Spoons was the onion ring. But yes, I would be happy with either

[@philipmason9537]

For £13 pounds I would still consider going to Wetherspoons as it was still good; nice to have those two tasty options both under £20 pounds.

[@davidsworld5837]

you have to note that the price include 1 drink or if you pick a hot drink that is unlimited. so most drinks are around £2.70 or so. so take that off and that leaves you just over £10 for that meal. and you should get Lamb. yes the size are small but the cost of the meats are higher. do not there is a standard mixed grill which is just over £11 including drink. you decide if you want the extra items for the higher price and how hungry you are to eat it.

[@philipmckeon8944]

Oh dono. This is a hard one. Spoons chips were nicer plus you got twice the amount of onion rings plus a mushroom. And was there extra meat as in pork? Meat was thicker in the second place but I think I’d go for spoons. Also it’s £5.00 cheaper. 👍

[@margaretmaskell9985]

So n the end it’s quality vs quantity,which is fair enough. Personally, for the sake of a fiver,I’ll go for quality. The second meal looked so much better.

[@davidsworld5837]

there is a correction a BF you get 2 Onion rings at BF you get 6. if you see the BF version you see that W is just as good and is more filling. Getting BF Over £3 refill drink you need to have 3 or 4 to make it worth the cost. but if you pick a hot drink at W that is Unlimited and W does include LAMB and NOT chicken so must have been a shortage.

[@Ben-ks5bm]

More pork now in the UK is a plus point!..

[@Finglesham]

I live near Leicester. The JDW mixed grill is gammon, pork, lamb and beef and sausage.. I always have the jacket potato and salad rather than teh vegetables and chips. I like how JDW give you the choice. I do not have the big one as it is too much for me an oldie ( 76) . The chicken is a cheap option. Go on a Tuesday for Steak Club and get a special price. My favourite JDW deal. You must be starving to eat a whole Big mixed grill. If you have tea/coffee at JDW it is bottomless as well. Brewers Fayre is a long way from me and not worth the travel costs. I am Happy with JDW and I like his business model. Not sure about those others how they treat their staff.

[@beverlyzimmermann5868]

I enjoy watching you from across the pond🇺🇸

[@everydayimeating3407]

Thanks for watching 😀

[@christianboutell7112]

The brewers fayre won it for me, the gammon,egg & chip combo looked spot on, delicious. 👍💯💥

[@everydayimeating3407]

The meats were so much bettter

[@shutup2751]

brewers fayre looks a class above the rest

[@everydayimeating3407]

It was for sure a class above spoons on this one

[@davidsworld5837]

you have to note the Wetherspoons (W) prices can vary between different places you go to. you also have to note 1 - 2 onion rings in BF vs 6 at W. which is a value over £2 if buying as an add on. 2 - price at W include 1 drink in the price while BF its an extra cost to get the unlimited. BUT note if you pick a hot drink at W then it is unlimited. 3 - Cost of the mixed Grill is cheaper at W by the time you reduce the price of the drink off it. 4 - W does Lamb while BF does the chicken. Lamb cost more so your meal would have had the lamb on instead of the chicken. 5 - You paid extra £5 for more meat size. Both places are good value for this meal .

[@peaceLove1988]

I like the wetherspoons mixed grill and order it when i am hungry in the wetherspoon but the brewers fayre looked very good too.

[@everydayimeating3407]

Its worth the extra money at brewers 😀

[@cutulphashby6972]

Thanks so much for your review- as a fellow foodie I always appreciate your take on places before I try them! Cheers as always!

[@everydayimeating3407]

Thanks 😀

[@mr.y.mysterious.video1]

Back in the day wetherspoons mixed grills used to come with proper little lamb chops with bones in

[@everydayimeating3407]

They must have run out when I went and I got chicken instead

[@mr.y.mysterious.video1]

@everydayimeating3407 these days you'll get a piece of lamb instead of the chops.

[@TimK2646]

Great one. Your lamb is stuck in Dover. Love to have Gammon and Liver at BF

[@sypeharrap6917]

This Wetherspoons sausage revelation has shocked me. I have quite a lot of spoons mixed grills and breakfasts and I’d not noticed.😮

[@everydayimeating3407]

I'm a bit surprised too, its a different sausage

[@delphihaze1317]

Loving those combo bites. That's exactly what I do when I have a mixed plate of food.

[@everydayimeating3407]

You have to do the combos 😋

[@delphihaze1317]

That should be a slogan on a t-shirt. Totally right,though.

[@Martin-rh7mf]

I'd have settled for Spoons but Brewers looked so much better. Each of the pubs seemed in lovely buildings. Rarely eating out, the costs were a bit of a surprise to me but all considered I'd definitely do the latter for satisfaction 😋 The dish was so much more appealing than that of Spoons. Yesterday eve I had ribeye & salmon with rocket salad. It was filling but, after watching this, am now hungry again &;it's so early in the morning Thank you 💪🏾

[@kathrynryder9620]

Brewers fayre for me. Sausages looked juicy...eggs spot on

[@everydayimeating3407]

All the meats were spot on at Brewers, the egg too 😋

[@fishypie]

spoons win on price

[@everydayimeating3407]

It does indeed

[@theabandonedhunter3604]

I personally think the spoons for the money…

[@everydayimeating3407]

It is good value, thats for sure

[@steventaylor6934]

Onion rings at wetherspoons am elite but brewers fayre for me easy thanks for another great video pal 🎉🎉

[@everydayimeating3407]

Good choice!

[@larhumba4233]

I totally agree, and you got a bottomless soft drink, which I would appreciate. 👍🍷

[@davidsworld5837]

But you have to take note that it cost over £3 to get it so you have to drink a few to get your money's worth. you can pick a HOT dink at W and that is unlimited.

[@martindunstan8043]

To be honest I was surprised how good the spoons one looked, the meat on the Brewers Fayre one did look more substantial though in all honesty if both places were relatively close I'd go to spoons simply on price point👍

[@everydayimeating3407]

Spoons is cheaper by quite a bit so good value

[@66meikou]

Mate, You are the most polite reviver. Listening to you speak you've been in the UK for a while.The first one looked to dry The second was far better mate

[@unysis212]

A definite win for Brewers Fayre - although Wetherspoons have more locations nearer to me. Any chance you can review Hungry Horse? There's one really close to me that i haven't tried yet. Thank you.

[@Ronin_Texas]

I will loveto have some of those restaurants here in the USA, I really enjoy this videos.

[@everydayimeating3407]

Thanks 😀

[@susannah1184]

Looks like Brewers to me, but Wetherspoons one looked nice too. Thanks for the vlog xx

[@everydayimeating3407]

They were both good, I would be happy to eat either

[@Bessie66]

I’m a non meat eater but the second mixed grill was the winner for me.

[@everydayimeating3407]

Me too 😀

[@MarkGould-e6j]

I have just this week have a Large Breakfast at Wetherspoons in Southend on Sea and my wife and I both thought it was the Dogs Gonads , being a retired Brickie -Stonemason and ex Army I’ve eaten some of the best Breakfasts in the world well done Spoons

[@tedthesailor172]

My two local Wetherspoons in London were, at best, okay. The standard of service was dismal. Often abandoned tables went uncleared, and even when they were they were not cleaned, leaving drink rings and small ponds everywhere. Their mixed grills were decent in a `transport cafe' way, but time and again there'd be something missing - usually either the tomato or the mushroom. Also, as in your case, presentation was dismal. it looked like the plate had simply been held under a chute and the food avalanched onto it. Two minutes spent arranging things neatly made it look so much more appetizing, but they obviously couldn't be arsed. You could also immediately spot a fugitive item. The best deals were their "club" meals, but eventually these seemed to be discontinued, so I headed for Toby's...

[@Bungle2010]

Mixed grill's always been decent when I've had it. Not sure what you're expecting re presentation? Seems fine to me. The Club deals were brought back ages ago btw.

[@christinewallis4631]

Brewers Fayre, even though they’re stingy with their onion rings. Another excellent video!

[@everydayimeating3407]

I agree, more onion rings please 😀

[@tordoff80]

deffo the brewers but they both looked delish also ya did right getting the spoons one large it was only couple quid more than the normal one

[@richardwaddington2038]

two mixed grills in a day ??? I dont think I could eat 2 in a week and I love them !! you must have slept for a day afterwards ! ;-)

[@johnbatch9276]

The meats at brewers looked fantastic and the eggs made that meal straight away I've had a few mixed grills at Wetherspoon pubs and some are better than others yes brewers was a much better plate of food

[@nigel8499]

I'm sure the mixed grill at Spoons was under £10 only 18 months ago

[@everydayimeating3407]

Maybe 🤷‍♂️

[@paulinegiles5757]

Hello, EIE Great vlog, thank you so much. Brewers Fayre was far better. There is a saying, "You only get what you pay for." In this case, that's true. See you soon 😊😊

[@lindseydack9893]

Both amazing. Weatherspoons for price and brewers fayre just edged it for me

[@everydayimeating3407]

They edged it for me too

[@coniston3106]

incredible looking chips mate

[@patricksullivan2261]

This is a tough one. I'd lean slightly more to the second one, but the first one was cheaper. Chicken, particularly grilled chicken, can be a real nightmare to prepare. The difference between nice and savory and over cooked shoe leather can be just a matter of a minute or two. I love chicken, you can do a lot with it, but if you aren't careful it can be an unforgiving meat. I'd say both places pass the muster. The first one for everyday meals, the second for when you want to spend a little bit more.

[@everydayimeating3407]

I agree with that

[@seanmeehan-js5kh]

For under £20 and it's only occasional it has to be Brewers Fayre. Thanks for enlightening me 👍😊

[@tomwilliams7391]

The Brewers fayre one was possibly slightly better, the Wetherspoons chips looked better....for the price I'd go to Wetherspoons though, if you wanted a beer with the mixed grill in Brewers Fayre it would be £5+ bringing the overall bill to £20+...in Wetherspoons the price of £14 incudes a drink, so it's much cheaper without too much of a drop in quality.

[@everydayimeating3407]

It is good value at Spoons

[@RobertSmith-cv1cu]

Agree with you. Pay that extra.

[@chrishall197]

Your vlogs would suggest you are a man of simple tastes and are relatively easily delighted. Perhaps diversify into airline reviews... Let's try this Ryanair seat... Its great! Brilliant legroom! Wonderfully attentive service! 😂

Its a Spoons, and most of the menu has been seen before 😊 So no real chance of being surprised. Only problem i have is plate size 😮 i hate to have my food piled up on top of it's self 😢Brewers Fayre,same as Spoons, needs a bigger plate. The food looks brilliant, good size and well marked ( both meals would be to my mind better off without peas&the tomatoes) Spoons cost,for a quick lunchtime snack meal,fair. Brewers,extra cost but expensive? Not really the extra quality on offer ❤no brainer😮 Winner's are Brewers Fayre 😊Allan&Family

[@959panigale]

🐱 Hmm pretty much can't decide tbh really liked the look of the chips and onion rings on the wetherspoons meal but the meat to me looked really un appealing the brewers fayre eggs and meat looked awesome chips and onion rings not so good so possibly get another plate take the best of both a really decent meal hah

Difficult one, based solely on your review and the visual, although dearer I go Brewers Fayre option although agree comments the chips could been crispier, maybe third onion ring would have satisfied me, however for me there was ample portions on the Brewers plate and it looked a tad better with presentation.
