The burgers are frozen then reheated. There's hardly any food preparation in a spoons "kitchen".

The burgers are frozen then reheated. There's hardly any food preparation in a spoons "kitchen". Presumably it's done on the grill though rather than in the microwave which was the initial point, and in reality provides little difference to what you'd do if you got the burgers direct from a butcher unless you were cooking them straight away. I would expect it to be common practice in the food-serving chain pub trade, and if nothing else at least Wetherspoon's clearly don;t offer any other illusion, whereas Brewers Fayre, Harvester and the like (only an example, I have no prior knowledge) probably do exactly the same, but charge the customer something approaching double the price.

Oh right...up North somewhere then. As I'm free tomorrow, will hopefully make a game, if anything is still left on in the locale, then try that Gidea Park micro pub. Weston's Old Rosie 7.3% #pisswater I know I'm replying to myself but stick with it.... Well, gave this micro jobby a test run yesterday afternoon and I have to say that I've never been so underwhelmed in a boozer. Firstly, said building is a former solicitor's office but on opening the door the decor - grey paint everywhere - takes a notch or two down on the excitement scale. There are about a dozen tables dotted around, of which three seats only were occupied - which I get at that time of day in said kind of establishment. So decided to hang out at the bar before realising there isn't one...no fookin' bar...WTF?? There's a dartboard, behind which is what one could only describe as a glorified kitchen from where the lone barman dispenses one's order. Liked the table service idea but just a shame there's no alternative. Gave the wine a miss - they did Rioja at £17 a throw - which is reasonable for these there parts and went for the Weston's Old Rosie, as mentioned above. Was given a choice of two pint, pint, half pint or third of a pint - a nice touch I thought so, for starters, I went for the latter. It was nice to be honest, albeit a bit warm for me, but one of these deceptively strong drinks. I reckon if you sat down and had four or five pints you'd stand up doing 'Squiddly Diddly' impressions. Went outside for a fag and Billy the Smurf rang me saying that he and a few of the chaps were in the Ship across the road so went back, swiftly drank up and exited left. Can't see myself going back too soon, although on a hot summer's day, two pints of Rosie with ice might just tempt me.

Was going to start another thread - fair to middling pubs - but it all kinda gets lost in the end, so thought I'd liven this one up a bit.
