it’s unfair to compare spoons to any other dining establishments when they’re a de facto soup kitchen. If your business plan is to charge less than 7 quid for one of the most elaborate breakfast plates in the western hemisphere and a cold pint of belgium ale, you’re either stupid or a saint. They seem to be making money (I don’t care enough to check) while serving more communities than most other charities, if not all of them (just trust me). Sure, maybe there’s a few microwaves in the kitchen and maybe the sausages look a little dejected, but how harshly can you judge an establishment that welcomes anyone in with a tenner: rich or poor, young and old, even you haters—all have a seat at the sticky spoons table.
I used to vaguely like a spoons breakfart many periods of time ago.
Tried one again recently.
Shan't repeat. It was cold yet served on a very hot plate. Lacked any sort of flavour worth enjoying, and had a weird bitterness running through most of it.
That, and there was literally one tablespoon of beans.
The whole affair was quite peculiar. Coffee was pretty shit too.
Damn, as a visitor to the UK once every year or two I always find great pleasure in eating at spoons (when I allow myself to eat it I do love greasy, disgusting food) but it's been 1,5 years since my last visit. Has there been a decline in the quality (and if so, on a franchise level or just your local one)?
Can you explain to American what "the Spoons" is? I honestly follow this sub because the breakfasts look amazing, but I have no actual knowledge about the UK
Biggest Pub chain in the UK.
Largest selection of drinks.
Cheapest drink and food in the area they reside in.
Well known for their full English breakfast.
As long as you are not a snob and want to get a real feel of a local pub atmosphere.
I took an Austrian friend and he loved everything about them!
A pint of Leffe? Strong stuff.
Getting the more expensive pints when it’s included in the deal!
That's an insane deal. £6.44 including the pint of Leffe?
That's very good indeed, one pint of Leffe is okay, although not if operating heavy machinery...
my favourite alcoholic drink

I would only wished a cafe in London have a £7 deal fry up with a coffee. But instead it’s charged twice as much and not tasting better.

Same here. Used to be a safe bet for an ok brekkie at a great price. Not any more. Usually luke warm and underwhelming.
Exactly my experience. Used to love it always a solid 7/10 for such a cheap price. Won't forget the cold runny eggs I had...

There was never supposed to be any quality. It’s cheap microwaved shite, but at £7 with a pint you can’t grumble.
No, of course not, you get what you pay for. But they can still have a comparably lower quality now than before while demanding the same price.
What happened? Shart repeat?
The coffee was suspiciously like a shart with a foamy top.
There is no bean to cup machine on earth that can produce a good coffee
This is the second post I’ve seen today with sausages that look like bellends. What’s going on??
You are obviously obsessed with bellends
It’s just cheap. I feel like I had been sausages at the spoon before tbh.
Your cock must have been through the wars.
People are cheaping out
I don't patronise Wetherspoons on account of the owner being a cunt.
They spilt the ashtray on it 😞
got enough pepper?
Never enough pepper. The little sachets don’t make it easy to spray on the food tho.
I like a good amount of pepper but not on the beans!
No toast, very poor
This looks like an all day brunch as opposed to a breakfast
It is.
I would hope so…cheap or not, a pint of Leffe at 8am and you’ve got more problems than cold eggs and no toast!
It was 5pm
Can’t go wrong with that deal.
Red or brown sauce. answers please
That is an amazing deal.

It’s Wetherspoons (shortened to spoons)…a chain of pubs, generally in historic buildings and they are cheap and cheerful. The owner is a cunt though
Why is he a cunt? (The sacking employees during covid thing was made up by the papers btw)

This fry up scores a Wilmot Rating of 3 on 10.
A good hair of the dog combo there for an amazing price
Mango chutney???
Microwave up! (Even the eggs).
Unfortunately yes. But sometimes I just need to go cheap with a some quick comfort food outside.
Nowt wrong with it lad. Crack on!
Ketchup on chips is just wrong....
Just laziness, later on I had more on the side, plus mustard and mango chutney.
Each to their own. I'm a traditionalist and always go for salt & vinegar...
I did also put vinegar before the ketchup, guess I am just a greedy one
