You mean if you live in Scotland. I doubt that they will be doing it in any Wetherspoons outside of Scotland.
NopeWhy would they advertise this in Yorkshire if it was a Scotland only thing?

Just presumed that it would be a Scottish only thing. Also, thought from the poster that the pub was in Scotland, but can see now that it a brewery, rather than the pub itself.
Yes, sorry, I thought id put I was in Yorkshire in my post, but I hadn't. I think I;ll give the meals a try when they arrive TwigtheWonderkid said:
The Chiltern in Beaconsfield opens tomorrow. Busy tomorrow, but might cycle there on Wednesday, it's about 10 miles from me.
They've done a great job on the old cinema with no expense spared that cost approx £3.5M whilst retaining and adding to the character of the place.The railway station is a 5 minute walk away and the tube met line about 10 mins away at Amersham, there is car parking opposite the rear terrace of the pub which costs £2.40 for 2 hours, real ales at £1.99 on Wednesday

Wetherspoons are such romantic places, I can think of no better place to propose to your Thai girl....
That'll be her fourth proposal this yearI'm sure we had a thread on here about a lad who had a "bride" but she had multiple other "husbands" & one kid to them all if that makes sense. Kid & her mother went along with it

I bet that dish has the highest margin on the menu at the moment.
Perhaps other than the "gourmet" jacket potatoes which have suddenly appeared. Pushing £9 with a beer at my local. I'm alright, thanks.TwigtheWonderkid said:

A 660ml bottle of Peroni is, according to AI, £7.50 in an average UK pub. That being the case, you're getting a jacket potato with filling for £1.38. Not exactly daylight robbery. Even in 'spoons the big Peroni is £5.50, so £3.88 for your spud. But spoons so snobbery factor

Well I went to Sindhu in Marlow yesterday. 2 glasses of Pinot, £30. 2 small bottles of Peroni, £20. £50 for 4 small drinks before we'd even chosen the food.
Not a like-for-like comparison though. Yesterday you were in a good restaurant. You could have had much cheaper drinks in Spoons, but the tradeoff is that you would have been in Spoons.cuprabob said:

We had the haggis last night; the mrs said it was better than what we had in Edinburgh last year. I d give the whisky sauce a miss though, didn t taste of anything really. And £1.89 a portion was a bit steep.
You can get it from most shops for a couple of quid a tin...Gassing Station | Food, Drink & Restaurants | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
