“the mashed potato - grainy and most likely from a microwaveable pellet - contained absolutely no flavour whatsoever.”

See. I bloody told you so.

looks a bit crap and not particularly great value compared to rest of menu.

That looks really shit, like school dinner, but ordering something like that in Wetherspoons is like going to Pizza Express for a steak. It’s just there as a dunce option (and with a pint of Leffe Blonde costing £6+ and more in London - it looks about £6 worth for a “sit down meal”).

I’ll stick to the odd curry club or burger and beer I think.

I have had a Wetherspoons Christmas dinner in the past. It was the first Christmas after I graduated and one of my friends who was still a student insisted on going there (it was somewhere in London).

It was fine. I think it even actually had roast potatoes but it might just be that I can't comprehend the possibility that I'd have had a Christmas dinner that didn't.

Just far enough away from LDC
Many years ago (2001ish) I took over two teams that merged and they hated each other. I had to bring them together so for Xmas we abandoned the idea of fine dining and I booked a table for 30 in a private room at the crosse keys near leadenhall St.

4.95 per person for the meal with the rest of the £16 per head going to drinks with a mandatory putting into kitty (£15 per junior manager, £20 for middle and me paying £30). I held the kitty and clerical staff didn't have to pay a penny.

Initially they drank in two teams amd i was drinking with both, until I insisted kitty was used for full rounds. Any road up the team were certainly bonded, joined perhaps by the sight of their senior manager drinking himself into a stupor and falling asleep in a nightclub. Lots of other stuff happened that on today's world would see various disciplinarian follow.

However never had any issues between the two teams

And I made it home without vomming and got to a home cup tie v Rushden and diamonds at withdean lunchtime the next day (live on tv and camera scored for his 10th game in a row)

Used to work just round the corner. The service was painfully slow.

Now there's a place that probably has biscuit base for their banoffee pie.

Ever wondered where Tescos send all their digestives once they’re past their sell-by date?
