I was out yesterday for lunch with a couple of mates at a newly refurbed gastro pub. It's only just up the road from my regular local, which in my experience seems to rarely have a bitter on tap.
Oddly enough, they didn't have any bitter on tap either.
They've tarted the place up somewhat and employed some rather more attractive staff than they previously had, but the food was very mediocre (chicken burger and chips were, I think, £16.95, a pint of the only cider they had on tap, which was some premium stuff came in at over £5.50 a pint, could have been over £6, not sure).
I am already a Wetherspoons fan but really, that experience did make me think what is the point of trying out new places when I know I can get a decent beer and a half decent meal for peanuts. And with none of the snobby clientele the other place seemed to attract! :-)
