They must have got them in now. I went there about 2 weeks ago and it was then and the previous week that this happened. Only got a response from wetherspoons this week, that's why I am commenting on it.

Oh, I see. Thanks for the explanation.

To answer Azari's earlier question a breakfast is £1.97, does not include a drink, and a coke is £1.98.
So a breakfast is cheaper than a coke!

Wetherspoons buy their drinks cheap because they are getting close to the sell by date. But due to the large quantities they sell, they know they can sell them before they go out of date. It's a sort of stock clearance centre for the drink manufacturers.

So it's a case of, if you want better quality you go elsewhere and pay much higher prices.

Their supply chain is not dependent on products near to their sell-by date. This is a long-standing myth which JDW have denied for years unless you have evidence to the contrary.

In which JDW is a full breakfast £1.97?

Even if this was true £1.97 for a breakfast and £1.98 for a coke are both cheap prices.

So what you are basically complaining about is the fact that they sell their products cheaply.

The fact the breakfast is cheaper than a coke is irrelevant when both prices are very low anyway.

Saying this I think a breakfast is about £4-5.

Whetherspoons is worse overall the past couple of years. The things I don't like are if they run out of a food item and just serve it incomplete. I've seen no end of complaints. Last night I was in one, upstairs and downstairs all the doors were open and the aircon on, madness.

The poppadoms we usually get served are either break your teeth on them or when they do have naans in, sat underneath the naan bread so are bendy and soggy.:(

A friend of mine works there, I've been in the back (and temped there for a short while) and nothing is short dated.

Shows how idiots on the Internet can ruin an innocent company's reputation.

They may not now, but I'm sure they must have done at the start. They did manage to sell lots of beers at £1 a pint and yet still make a large profit enough to expand as they have....
