COVID-19: Wetherspoons suffers record loss as counts cost of lockdowns
Despite notching up its worst figures to date, the pub chain's founder and chairman Tim Martin says he is "cautiously optimistic" provided there are no more emergency pandemic curbs, which he branded "a threat to civil society and democracy".news.sky.com
Take your pick. It's all great news... if you think Tim Martin is a complete cock.
Back to normal? Bollocks.
People are actively going elsewhere.

Wetherspoons: Cocktail sales up but ales out, says pub chain
It said that younger customers were driving sales of cocktails, vodka and rum in the last 15 weeks.www.bbc.co.uk
deary me.
It's not like.I'd argue no one forces the smaller breweries to sell to Spoons and presumably they were making money before and they aren't being mislead. If you brewed real ale/craft beer 15 years ago it would have been a niche product but there are so many breweries now if you are trying to get into the supermarkets/chain pubs it'll be a race to the bottom. You only have to look at the price of craft beer cans in supermarkets; what was once £3 a can is now 8 cans for a tenner.
Think that day has already arrived, most towns have been taken over by the big boys and independent traders are being shifted out.
Good grief...

People are actively going elsewhere. Certainly when it comes to beer, which is their main source of income

Don't confuse him ffs.where's the evidence that people are actively going elsewhere? Haven't got any figures, but I suspect the drop as explained in the later article will be replicated across the industry e.g. overall business still not back to pre-pandemic levels (particularly in older generations), supply issues....
In fact it is probably more worrying if, as the article implies, the younger generations are increasingly using the place as a destination.
Tell me where this is. As when I look for (decent) craft ales it’s still £2 at least per can.I'd argue no one forces the smaller breweries to sell to Spoons and presumably they were making money before and they aren't being mislead.

I wasn’t pointing out that small brewers have to go with Spoons, I was pointing out the pitfalls of going with them and the small margins that gives the brewers.I'd argue no one forces the smaller breweries to sell to Spoons and presumably they were making money before and they aren't being mislead.

I spoke to a few in my local Spoons before all the madness and they were positive about what you got. Obviously that’s a few people in a single pub. Other pubs and employees will certainly have different views.People told them they weren't going back after they pulled every arsehole trick in the book during Covid. They were the #1 on the boycoutt list.
Young'uns probably forget more easily and they're the cocktail drinkers.
I'm not refusing to go in them anymore, as that could be to my own detriment. But I never plan to go in them anymore and I'll go to other places if possible.
They really don't. They'll work you to death if they can get away with it. Been there.

Breweries such as thornbridge and northern monk are 2 four packs for a tenner in Morrisons.
And before you say they aren’t decent, they were cool before they got big.

Everything thing is picking up again marra, great to see, best of luck with the club.The PO club is booming since reopening. Nearly a hundred extra members this year, despite all the disruption. Every ticketed gig up to NYE this year has sold out. Even opened extra hours and employed more staff. Good mix of old and new too.
Edit, and we're about 200 yards away from a spoons.
330ml cans though, yes? Pretty sure they are.
Selling it all off ahead of lockdown apparently.Just popped into the one in Brigg as we're away for a few days. Coffee refills 99p, pints cheap and sat by a lovely warm log fire. The OAPs enjoying themselves drinking a pint & enjoying retirement. Even a few young folk in as well... Tremendous.
I've only ever been to one. I needed a piss, straight in, toilets, straight out.will never ever go to a Wetherspoons through choice
they reek of despair, death and piss
they have no atmosphere
I hate the stupid man running it
were they giving the booze and food away for nothing I'd still not go
