Well I’d have woofed that down DJ! As you say it is what it is and nothing wrong with that! And I just want to say DJ this is YOUR channel, they both are and you can call them whatever you want and if you want to show us a good brekkie and the walk on the way you go right ahead! You want to show us around London eating a burger? You go right ahead! You no doubt spend hours and hours uploading these for us and I for one love everything about them and appreciate all the time and effort you put into them! And you know I’ve said this many times before DJ but you really are a very rare gem to KZbin … utterly sincere, a complete gentleman, funny, original, informative and above all … love food as much as me! You show us every foodie joint from the simple sandwich to a top notch dining experience! Never ever change DJ! You’re my favourite KZbinr and the only one I’m subscribed to! And I for one will see you on the next one!! 💜🍔🥓🥚🍳🏍️🏎️

Having that extra time because your hours are reduced is commendable. There’s been ups and downs that you’ve shared with us…you’ve been honest and that’s what we long term watchers admire. Just keep going, you are obviously taking it seriously. Thank you. In our Wetherspoons, they do OAP lunches, children’s portions and are open all day. It’s a while since I’ve been so I’ll give it a go. Thanks.

Good and fair Review Darren. me and my wife both work lots of hours and are not on the best of wages. we try and go to spoons every Thursday as we can both do that day. we have a breakfast and a tea or coffee for less that £14.00, we can sit chat about our week, worry's hang ups, whatever. i know the food is average but it does allow us some valuable time together on a budget. Wetherspoons means different things for different people i think. as always thanks for sharing.

I really enjoyed it and said exactly the same as you when i looked at the bacon but it tasted lovely. I also found the butter was very nice on the toast. I went because they started a veterans breakfast club and yes i will be going again next month.

It was so easy to get a second mushroom. Order two breakfasts. 'Spoons are good for real ale. They sell it so cheaply, it is always in good condition due to turnover. A fair number in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide. Another good thing is you can get a pint and something to eat for little money when other pubs are not open. So a good venue to aim to at 10am, then head off on a beer crawl when other pubs open.

I quite like Wetherspoons because, as you said, it does the job. That's a very fair assessment. For breakfast unlimited tea is a plus for me. The main problem I have with Wetherspoons is the inconsistencies at their pubs. I have never had fried eggs cooked as good as yours for example. I agree about the bacon. I normally make a sandwich with it. I am new to your channel so playing catch up going through your reviews. I'm really enjoying them. Thank you

So my friend you have joined the mass ranks of fellow vloger's to review a Wetherspoons ( or just Spoons 😊) Breakfast. Basic Fry up.Plate a bit crowded, if they can't put the toast on a side plate, take extra napkins to use instead. Its a meal,not really to be savored. More grab,chomped down. Tea/ coffee gone. Spoons have no pretentious air's & graces. It's a pit stop restaurant And it's good at what it does Like all chains its the staff, thats the key.If they care it shows on the plate. Its a from the top down problem. But to refuel,read your paper, drink 6 cups of tea. Grand Take it for what it is❤Cheers Allan&Family

Hi Darren. Re Spoons. I used to visit hotels and restaurants for work. Spoons one of the chains. They had massive turn over of staff as I believe they were on zero hour contracts. I've been in managers offices when staff were told, they could either go home (no pay) or they'd ring around to see if other Spoons needed anybody. If so they could go there (no pay till they got there). I think now they're on proper contracts. Anyway. The food. When I used to go, things like bacon were pre-cooked on a morning and put in containers, then warmed through when orders came in. Why they're quick at serving. Depending who's doing eggs and hash browns can vary from day to day. Sometimes OK others awful. One thing about Spoons. You'll find they have 5 star for cleanliness. The managers for the high jump if not. They weren't a good company to work when I went. (my opinion). May have changed.

Last year, over the Summer, I did the rounds of eating / drinking in all the Wetherspoons pubs in Kent. They’re handy if you’re visiting a place because you know where you can eat, drink .. and use the amenities. The food was consistant in terms of you know what to expect, that’s what you get and it’s reasonably priced. I think the only “trouble” I had was in one of the Maidstone’s ‘Spoons where I had to have mushy peas with my Bangers and Mash instead of garden peas as they had none. 😁

Hey Darren. Weatherspoons mystery diner here in North London. The food varies depending on who's cooking it in my experience. I've probably done 50 or more breakfasts for them. Btw. Prices vary across different spoons. Ps. you could have grabbed a coffee after your tea. Just ask for a new mug. You pay once for as much tea, coffee and hot chocolate.

Country is a better place for having Spoons. Unlimited refills of tea and coffee means every one of them is a place for the elderly to meet in a safe and warm environment. Walk in any spoons during the day and a group of old boys or girls will be there socialising. Where else do they have to go now especially in the inner cities. Let’s hope the spoons can keep on thriving.

You always know what you're getting in Spoons. Cheap and cheerful. Does what is says on the tin. Unfortunaetly in this day and age it is the only option for some people.

I can't knock Wetherspoons. I think the food is good for the price. Whenever I have been in one the staff are always friendly and create conversation, particularly if on my own. Makes me want to go back. 👍

My experiences of Spoons haven't been favourable , dirty tables , poor service , cold food.....I'll not bore you with the rest of the list but sure you get the idea. There are so many that love this poor quality cheap breakfast which is why I've had the misfortune to find myself sharing a table tight lipped 🤣 As you've said.. 'You get what you pay for ' Great honest review as always 👍

Ummmmmmm, well it wasn't like that in this video, plus you must have gone to the wrong ones then! + how many Spoons have you been to, I have had a few not good ones but many, many alright/very good ones. but complained with ones that were below par and cooked fresh for me again and was alright. 👍🏻 So don't pardon them all with the same brush!

Spoons does do the job, its a good way of putting it. They're generally nice buildings that's decorated with a nod to the local history and located in convenient spots. They've used an old magistrate's building in Keswick (Lakes) and you can eat in the cells which nice. The beer is generally good as they partner with CAMRA. The food is cheap and the unlimited drink option is good value. I think its horses for courses but they're great on value.

I've had enough spoons brekkies in my time let's be fair it's not Michelin star nor is it meant to be, its a budget brekkie and for what it is it always hits the spot. I agree about the bacon it's always like a rubber tyre but the sausages are good by the way where was the black pudding 😊
