On the pub front, Wetherspoons can do cheap because of there buying power when it comes to stock.
How can weatherspoons have a better buying power of beer than the breweries do??? Weatherspoons make less profit per pint than any brewery owned pub does, but they make big overall profits because they sell more of it... reason being, they sell it cheaper. As for the food, ok, it may not be cordon bleu, but ham egg and chips with a pint for under a fiver is still good value. Cant be many people on here that hasnt payed nearly that for a burger and a mug of tea at the side of the road!!

I heard that wetherspoons got their ale cheap as it was nearing end of life and had to be shifted quickly but I don't know if it's true or not.
Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one. Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.
