Somewhere with some character and individuality? You heathen

There’s only one place more identikit and soulless than a spoons and it’s Brewdog, Spoons ftw in that scenario.

Cardiff /Sunderland ,spoons heaving I’ve gone to philharmonic,6.50 peroni and 7.00 for the missus AU Vodka and mixer ,;) I’m ok fk spoons today ,I’m off to the more expensive places where most footy fans won’t bother ,
I just like a peaceful place and a drink I’m not bothered about cost,although I would’ve had a few in spoons had not been so rammed,looks like we eating in the alchemist as missus just booked a table ,a few mad cocktails incoming

Oh change the record FFS. Ok you don't like Spoons, so what? What do you think that is going to acomplish other than derailing a thread.

really like the idea on the previous page that okgo works for Toby Carvery

PH always delivers. Comparing top-end gastropubs with Spoons and then making snarky comments about food quality at a fraction of the price.

Brewdog make Wetherspoons look like a Michelin restaurant.

Lovely spots - get yourself down there.

Obviously I wasn’t comparing them, go back and read it again.

Prefer the food at Brewdog


Brewdog Waterloo is decent if you're in a large group as they have activities like table tennis and a slide down to the bar, clientele is millennial hipster and suits having a pint after work.

Meant to be the largest pub in Europe so does lack atmosphere if visited on a day other than Thurs-Saturday.

I stand corrected, you didn't compare directly, but it rather came across that way.

Yet he never actually posts anything to prove he's been to the decent restaurants .

Indeed.

Double Gordons Gin + bottle tonic £3.54
Pint Worthingtons Bitter £1.86

Anyone tried the salted peanuts in Wetherspoons?, Sun Valley Nut Co., very nice but boy are they salty.

I'd love to see OKGO mixing it with the locals in Gateshead.

The Caley Picture house was the best one. I did all the ones in the centre last time I was there.

Thanks

That is what we are hoping to do. I think there are five in the centre and we are there for five nights. So that's breakfast and lunner (late lunch/early dinner). Hotel want £12 for a full English, so that'll be a daily saving of £14. Plus I can never eat breakfast until I have been awake for at least three hours.
