Wetherspoons in the W End ( The Lord Montague, site of the last Marque Club ) is somewhere the Mem. and I frequent when near Soho. You can get two pints of the Black stuff plus a reasonable dinner for around £20 for two, what's not to like?
Well I love a Spoons but since you ask - some negatives.
Usually have some scroats hanging about - often outside the door with a fag.
Noisy students on a nighttime can turn it into a rowdy den and they order those jugs of blue and green chemicals that take ages to make.
Tables can be dirty with plates left for ages.
Food - great value, but there are not many Michelin stars awarded to Tim’s taverns.
Positives massively outweigh the niggles though - bit like a Morgan.
