    How much can you get beefburger and chips for by themselves without the drinks?

    I'm pretty sure they don't sell the burgers on their own, just with (one of a variety of) free drinks included for £3.99. Normally for the same price you can get a chicken burger, vegeburger or lamb burger meal (also including a drink) instead. It's already well worth the £3.99 compared to what you'd get in a fast food place so if these are also down to £3.49 too it's a great deal. Incidentally I've noticed in the last few months the beefburgers have been much, much better than the ones they used to use too!

    Certainly not true in my local one. As far as I remember Wetherspoons had confirmed that all their pubs would become non-smoking last year but they ditched the plan in anticipation of the law changes and possibly having to revise their policy anyway.

    Thanks for that - I have extrapolated that the price of Beefburger/Hambuerger and Chips minus the drink (1.95 ish) is about £1.50.

    This seems good value to me as a Wimpey or a Big Macdonalds and chips is probably going to be a bit more than this. Big Macs are about £1.20 and the chip things are about 70p for a small red packet.

    How much are Wimpeys these days? The good thing about Wimpeys of course is that you get waitress service and a lot of them are very pretty indeed!
  • Hope the Tyskie has been reduced. If you haven't tried it and your a lager drinker give it a go, it's Polish and way better than anything brewed by Interbrew in this country. Watch out though it's pure rocket fuel.
  • All Wetherspoons are now Non-Smoking as far as I know.

    one of the wetherspoons in canterbury still allows smoking.
    Before you point fingers,make sure your hands are clean !;)
  • SOME of the JDW pubs have a total smoking ban (obviously those in Scotland are).

    The list is here
