enjoyed a traditional breakfast here for just 4.95 including tea, free-refill-coffee or a soft drink, which is absolutely sensational value. the rumours that wetherspoon's microwave all of their food were absolutely incorrect in this case, as all of the food was clearly freshly prepared. the breakfast consisted of a tasty sausage, piece of lean bacon, nicely-cooked tomato, clonakilty black and white pudding (very good), fried egg, 2 hash browns, beans and a thick fresh piece of soda bread which was very very good in particular. the coffee, self-served from a dispenser at the bar was too watery, a little disappointing as lavazza coffee is normally much better than that, but impossible to complain given the overall price.
my friend had the large traditional breakfast, which had an extra egg, sausage, hash brown and bread, but he couldn't finish it - just as well, given that it is 1,574 calories (all meals have a calorie count on the menu, which is another great touch).
the place is stylish and spotless - a little soulless withoutmusicor volume on the tv, but it's a great place to go on a weekday for some peace and quiet. ordering at the bar and remembering to note your table number takes a little bit of getting used to, but if it keeps prices down, then it's no problemo!
i have sampled their beers on other occasions, and at 2.50 a pint for a range of craft beers, the value there is stunningly good too.
roll on the opening of some wetherspoons pubs in the city centre - it will shake things up nicely!
