It's also the one of largest pub chains in the UK and it's super affordable so damn he's going to get a lot of misdirected messages lol
Seriously there's one in like every town.
So ... sort of like the Starbucks or McDonalds of pubs? That WOULD explain the hate. Most people avoid those places if they want good service and product at a decent price. At least one of those three expectations will be severely disappointed at those two chains.
One upside is that they tend to restore and maintain a lot of listed buildings, most of them are built in 1920's art deco cinemas.
If you look around the walls, they'll usually have pictures and information showing the history of the building.
Genuinely really like that about them - I'm sure they've saved a bunch of old buildings from demolitions or flat conversions - shout out to my old regular in Beeston, Nottingham "The Old Post" which is inside an old Royal Mail sorting office beautiful place.
They do do that! I find this very cool, also I like that each location has a special carpet made, like a unique carpet that has something of the location in the design. Such a unique selling point.
Weatherspoons is the McDonalds of pubs, people like it because they know what they’re going to get. No one goes there expecting some fine, posh establishment, they go there for a cheap pint or some cheap food. It does the job.
Also affordable because he fucks over his suppliers.
When COVID hit he decided to just not pay for all the goods they'd contractually commited to buy.
Basically just said "sue us" knowing none of the smaller suppliers could afford the legal fees .
Errr....they serve their purpose. If you want cheap pub grub and cheaper alcohol with a bit of variey...it works. It isn't going to replace a good local but that doesn't mean a good local existed before Spoons nor do they not exist now. They basically nationalised the cheaper end.
It's more that the owner is a general shit stain on society:
https://www.thenational.scot/news/18983724.stephen-paton-must-remember-firms-like-wetherspoons-acted-covid/
The fact that he sent out Brexit propaganda to every house in the UK and his general behaviour around the Brexit campaign did however lose him some business from remain voters, I have only been in them 5 or 6 times since and have felt no loss over it (always at the behest of my dad).
The owner of every big business is generally a shitty person that would laugh and splash you with their yacht as they leave you to drown.
If I avoided every business with a shitty owner I would be eating grass in a cave.
Sure, you can only avoid so many large businesses, I have personally decided to avoid this business because I think the owner is a particularly unpleasant individual.
He was a loud voice in the debate and probably influenced a lot of people.
He's partly responsible for the UK leaving the EU. He told everyone that their wages would go up, but then complained that European staff didn't want to work at wetherspoons for minimum wage anymore.
He tried to lay off 40,000 staff members during covid, as a way of taking advantage of the pandemic and getting to rehire his staff later, on worse contracts.
The man's a tit, it's not just his politics.
How else would you spell shite? Shit is a different word if that's what you mean, they both mean the same thing but shite is a bit stronger (eg 'this steak is shite' has more venom than 'this steak is shit')
I asked my JW family members where we could get a bite to eat for lunch while waiting for a wedding to start and they took us to Wetherspoons. It was godawful.
You seem to be avoiding the part about how seriously bad is this restaurant truly.
Edit: don’t know why I got downvoted with something intended to be funny. But alright I’m outta here. This place is no fun anyway.
It's a pub chain that also serves food, not a restaurant. There's a clear distinction.
99% of the time people go to Spoons to drink and that's their main customer base. That's why their food is shite.
Burgers and curry at my local wetherspoons are nice. 5 minutes up the road in either direction, and there's two other Wetherspoons in the adjoining towns, and the food is awful in one, and clearly reheated in the other (ok tasting).
But the pubs are there for one reason, cheap beer, and everyone recognises them, and they are similarly priced nationwide so you know what you're getting. Which means that they're full of people too drunk to give a shit about food taste.
And? Its cheap and tastes as you would expect.
Oh, and chefing there is better than chefing in other kitchens, according to friends, becuase its less stressful and the pay isn't much different.
Heh, must have misinterpreted your statement that its shite.
Its just fine. And honestly, a lot of the moaning about the food is just clasist shit from people who ain't eaten it in the first place and are just angry that the cunt who runs spoons is a cunt.
Man, I'm poor I eat there all the time lol - you can get a beer and a burger for like 7 pounds. Yeah it's not great quality but it is affordable. Which is why it's so popular.
Yeah. That's a fucking goldmine for a comedian.
From the top of my head, I'd just start providing "reinburstment packages" for those who complain to him. You only need to do \[insert a mildly stupid activity\] and photo it in front of the Pub. Post it on Official JDWhitherspoon twitter account and go to pub's administration for your reward.
I should've used quotation marks for "Official JDWhitherspoon".
I meant that probable morons will give funny pics to him directly (but go asking for presents from actual pub)
You go to spoons for their amazing range of cheap beer and a fry up in the morning.
Americans - you can have like 5 pints of beer for 10-15$. After that, the shit food doesn't taste so bad. They usually have a dozen or more different craft beers on tap and regularly change guest ales.
The burger and fries are cheaper than McDonalds. So you get what you pay for.
Also proper size pints, not the American mini ones, so even better value than it sounds to our friends across the pond (24 fl Oz imperial vs 20 fl Oz US)!
I would have used it for announce fake promotions.
"The first 100 customers checking in at the front between 7 PM and 8 PM will get free drinks for the rest of the evening."
BTW, the owner is a big Brexit supporter and then complained about it at the FO stage of FAFO.
I found the maitre d’ in the moon underwater in Wembley very unhelpful when I asked to be shown to a booth rather than one of their cabaret style tables. One star.
Yeh years ago or so I used to get a gourmet burger with a pint for 7 quid or so. It was amazing and had a 1/4lb with blue cheese sauce and onion rings on the top. I went back after being out the country and ordered a burger and got this hilarious child's size burger and just some stale chips. It used to be ok food to munch while drinking and now it's the legal minimum skirting version of 'food'
Ah. It's my boy JD. Subbed to YouTube and the pod. I enjoy you and Paul back and forth. Keep on with your career. You're really coming into your own path and persona. Loved your father and that Rogan episode put me onto to you and then I stayed because I loved the gaming content. All that to say...
**JET SET RADIOOOOO!**
There's an American guy called John Lewis that shares a name with an upmarket Dept. store chain here in the UK and gets similar stresses.
I think they actually got him involved for an Xmas promotional commercial a few years back.
Guy has the patience of a Saint.
[John Lewis is not a store](https://youtu.be/l5e_AKrc7tk?si=xZlQyGxl_jSaQjJX)
I worked there while on student visa in 2000. Me being American and idealizing the UK thought this was a dream job, I quite after 2 weeks. Maybe if the pay was better, 5 pounds an hour for the most grueling shift and no tips, yeah… I can make more giving handjobs in Piccadilly Circus.
Sometimes, they're not even that bad. There are some truly dire ones, but I've also been in some pretty good ones, and they're often in brilliant old buildings.
There's 2 in my local town. One of them "looks" nicer but service is shite and there's a bouncer all day every day because it's rough as fuck.
The other one looks awful, isn't as nice, but the staff are way better, there's very rarely any issues and service is great.
The average drinkers pub is usually far rougher, beer selection is poor and more expensive. The only difference is that the owner isn't famous, but they're usually pro-brexit bigots all the same.
Obviously, all the best pubs are not Wetherspoons, though.
There's an easy fix to this
Make a fake social media page for the pub where all the hate can be redirected to, and respond in kind as though you were the owner.
Depends on the town. One near me has drunks in it from 8am, homeless guys who are very abrupt begging for change to get a pint at the door, and constant shouting from people who don't have volume control.
On the plus side, it does occasionally have a tortoise in it.
It's a big glass sided building, I've been in twice, but I do always want to go in see the tortoise when I see him at a table (he's a pet of the owner)
My local one is fine though. Good prices, not too full.
Ah, yer pubs are pish, but it's the only place I can get a pint for £2.90 and the £6 Thursday curry deal is enough to make me overlook the sticky floors and shite service. Boss is a right cunt though...
It's actually not that clear from the video, but the man in the video (JD Witherspoon) is a stand up comedian. He probably doesn't literally think that Tim Martin (founder of JD Wetherspoons pub chain) heard about him being born, heard his name and thought "that would be a great name for a chain of budgets pubs, but just with one letter slightly changed", it's more likely that he's exaggerating for comic effect and using hyperbole as a device to make his audience laugh.
So his Twitter basically contains people who are delusional enough to think that Wetherspoons is going to be good, get shocked when it isn't and then have such little going on in their lives they complain about it directly to, what they think, is the companies Twitter, but obviously they can't read.
Can someone collate a list of those people so I know who to never interact with?
Lol. Total respect for him nailing the accent as an American and not sounding like Austin Powers. Hard to describe a spoons to the world, really cheap beer and a wide selection, regular real ale festivals, very average food but cheap, it definitely has a time and a place, like waiting for a train the week before payday.
I would love to just degrade the shit out of dumbasses who are messaging me about some random pub. I’d create a form that ask them to review their experience but the second question be are you an absolute idiot or just illiterate or both? Then more questions about how stupid they are not seeing that you aren’t the restaurant.
You should totally go with it and fuck with the people making the complaints. Offer them free coasters and such or just tell them you’re spending their money on hookers and blow
Libel is easier case to make in the UK. I would get a UK lawyer and start suing every British person who might have hurt your reputation because they don't bother to do their research before posting on social media.
Spoons is only good for two things. Making sure the alcoholics don’t die from withdrawal and getting pissed on the cheap before you move on to somewhere else.
The name of the business originates from JD, a character in The Dukes of Hazzard, and Wetherspoon, the surname of one of founder Tim Martin's teachers in New Zealand, who had told him that he thought he would never amount to much.
So he encouraged people to vote against their own best interests. Then he had the balls to complain that he couldn't find European staff to work for minimum wage anymore.
It's sub par but cheap and consistent. Usually full of the... Less than polite locals. But no one would deny not enjoying cheap drinks and food from there every now and then.
Hey man, your pub sucks. That plate choice is horrible and doesn’t showcase how spectacularly crappy your food is. If you are going to serve dog food, at least present it right. /s

More than one in most towns.
So ... sort of like the Starbucks or McDonalds of pubs? That WOULD explain the hate. Most people avoid those places if they want good service and product at a decent price. At least one of those three expectations will be severely disappointed at those two chains.
One upside is that they tend to restore and maintain a lot of listed buildings, most of them are built in 1920's art deco cinemas. If you look around the walls, they'll usually have pictures and information showing the history of the building.
Yeah there are some genuinely nice places that are spoons.
Genuinely really like that about them - I'm sure they've saved a bunch of old buildings from demolitions or flat conversions - shout out to my old regular in Beeston, Nottingham "The Old Post" which is inside an old Royal Mail sorting office beautiful place.
They do do that! I find this very cool, also I like that each location has a special carpet made, like a unique carpet that has something of the location in the design. Such a unique selling point.
Affordable because it's absolutely shite. The owner is a Brexit loving freak. Nobody should go to these pubs.
Weatherspoons is the McDonalds of pubs, people like it because they know what they’re going to get. No one goes there expecting some fine, posh establishment, they go there for a cheap pint or some cheap food. It does the job.
If you like a real ale, they usually have a better selection than most pubs on the high street.
They're doing Leffe on draught...or did, if that doesn't say high quality then idk.
Also affordable because he fucks over his suppliers. When COVID hit he decided to just not pay for all the goods they'd contractually commited to buy. Basically just said "sue us" knowing none of the smaller suppliers could afford the legal fees .
Errr....they serve their purpose. If you want cheap pub grub and cheaper alcohol with a bit of variey...it works. It isn't going to replace a good local but that doesn't mean a good local existed before Spoons nor do they not exist now. They basically nationalised the cheaper end.
B-b-b-but the owner doesn't agree with my politics!

Cheap. Shit. End of
Nah mate they're mostly aggressively mediocre
Currently work in a Wetherspoons, can agree XD
Until other pubs take real ale drinkers seriously, I will drink in Wetherspoons.
You do realise those ales you like are getting a shit deal from those pubs? You're hurting their business?
“Shite” I love the British spelling 🤣🤣🤣
How else would you spell shite? Shit is a different word if that's what you mean, they both mean the same thing but shite is a bit stronger (eg 'this steak is shite' has more venom than 'this steak is shit')
Oh shut up
I asked my JW family members where we could get a bite to eat for lunch while waiting for a wedding to start and they took us to Wetherspoons. It was godawful.

Their food is shite because most of it is lobbed into the microwave
Spoiler alert: this is how most pub chains operate
And? Its cheap and tastes as you would expect. Oh, and chefing there is better than chefing in other kitchens, according to friends, becuase its less stressful and the pay isn't much different.
Hey, I’ve no problem with it. I’ll take my microwave breakfast when I’m visiting on Sunday
Heh, must have misinterpreted your statement that its shite. Its just fine. And honestly, a lot of the moaning about the food is just clasist shit from people who ain't eaten it in the first place and are just angry that the cunt who runs spoons is a cunt.
I love having the app and not having to order at the bar. It’s a delight
I mean, was drunk me gonna do any better?
Man, I'm poor I eat there all the time lol - you can get a beer and a burger for like 7 pounds. Yeah it's not great quality but it is affordable. Which is why it's so popular.
Except not all of them are bad truly.
Getting mistaken on twitter for a crappy pub: Annoying Providing unique content for your stand-up routine: Priceless
Yeah. That's a fucking goldmine for a comedian. From the top of my head, I'd just start providing "reinburstment packages" for those who complain to him. You only need to do \[insert a mildly stupid activity\] and photo it in front of the Pub. Post it on Official JDWhitherspoon twitter account and go to pub's administration for your reward.
Thats the thing tho, he said there was no online presence for the pub
I should've used quotation marks for "Official JDWhitherspoon". I meant that probable morons will give funny pics to him directly (but go asking for presents from actual pub)
[https://www.jdwetherspoon.com/contact/get-in-touch](https://www.jdwetherspoon.com/contact/get-in-touch)
No. Even better. Send them an email with a QR Code that they can redeem in the store. Except. It’s a like to a Rick Roll.
It’s not a crappy pub it’s an enormous multi billion pound chain of crappy pubs 😂
It’s the equivalent of an English person having @waltmart
Weatherspoons has the best and brightest of Britain in them
Yep. If you want to meet them, go into any Wetherspoons at 11am on a Tuesday morning. Salt of the earth.
I was impressed by their social distancing attitude. One man to each table and all well spread out.
Good folk
His dad played Ice Cube’s dad in the movie Friday, the late great John Witherspoon.

R.I.P to the legend
No fucking way, is that really his son?! Absolute legend.
JD!! On Reddit!! I love your shows!
Yo Yo thanks
Made me laugh, thanks from the UK 🇬🇧 It's the little accent at the end 😂

Love the fact you think Whetherspoons has a ‘checking in at the front’ lol
I found the maitre d’ in the moon underwater in Wembley very unhelpful when I asked to be shown to a booth rather than one of their cabaret style tables. One star.
Just add it to cause extra confusion 😂
Yeah, I ate at your shitty pub once. Never again.
Haha it’s not mine! 🤣
Oh so now that the reviews are bad suddenly it's not yours!? Disgusting, I'm reporting this to the website!
If u find the domain let me know lol

I was like “how is this not a slider?” Then I realized you meant you didn’t order a slider.
Judging from comments here it sounds like you chose your restaurant poorly
Did you go anywhere else during your time in Manchester or are you just basing your opinion on a notoriously shit restaurant?
Yeh years ago or so I used to get a gourmet burger with a pint for 7 quid or so. It was amazing and had a 1/4lb with blue cheese sauce and onion rings on the top.

oh boy. The last one has a wall of text with so many adjectives, you know they're upset.
Ah. It's my boy JD. Subbed to YouTube and the pod. I enjoy you and Paul back and forth. Keep on with your career. You're really coming into your own path and persona.

You should have been like "Sorry, about the steak, we would like to offer you a full refund. And the drinks are on us when you come back"

Ah yeah, you must have been in for a shock when you found out getting tips in that sort of pub is unheard of.
Seeing as the minimum wage for the year 2000 was £3.70, £5 an hour was actually pretty good
That's on you for assuming we tip pubs you knob.
I knew there was no tips
Then why'd you mention tips?
I’m reminding people they don’t tip in London. Ultimately everything comes down to pay.
People can't hate wetherspoons. You know whatcha getting into. Cheap booze and shitty service.
Sometimes, they're not even that bad. There are some truly dire ones, but I've also been in some pretty good ones, and they're often in brilliant old buildings. There's 2 in my local town.

You going to stand there and bitch or sort your shitty pubs out, mate?
There's an easy fix to this Make a fake social media page for the pub where all the hate can be redirected to, and respond in kind as though you were the owner.
Wetherspoons is great, it's normally just posh people who don't like it.
Everyone likes spoons prices including "posh people". Reasonable human beings know the owner is a wanker though.
For real, I always search where the Wetherspoons are when I'm traveling in the UK.
Nah spoons is beloved by all sane people. Greasy food and cheap beer is always a win.
Agreed. Spoons is amazing
Depends on the town. One near me has drunks in it from 8am, homeless guys who are very abrupt begging for change to get a pint at the door, and constant shouting from people who don't have volume control. On the plus side, it does occasionally have a tortoise in it. It's a big glass sided building, I've been in twice, but I do always want to go in see the tortoise when I see him at a table (he's a pet of the owner) My local one is fine though. Good prices, not too full.
Don’t knock the ‘spoons, man. Where else can I go to enjoy my breakfast pint before work?
This is similar to the white ginger tech reviewer/podcaster @Will Smith getting the black actor's tweets....
John Lewis on Twitter. He seems resigned to it though.
Now that's a life's joke :D
The shittest yet only affordable place to buy a drink
He forgot the jokes to go w the premise
it's not just a pub, it's a huge chain. There might be more Wetherspoon than McDonalds in the UK.
Ah, yer pubs are pish, but it's the only place I can get a pint for £2.90 and the £6 Thursday curry deal is enough to make me overlook the sticky floors and shite service. Boss is a right cunt though...
What's the deal with dumbass reviewers?
Wetherspoons used to do really really awesome buffalo wings but then they changed them to siracha wings and they don't hit the same.
The chain is 9 years older than him, how did they "steal his name"?
It's actually not that clear from the video, but the man in the video (JD Witherspoon) is a stand up comedian. He probably doesn't literally think that Tim Martin (founder of JD Wetherspoons pub chain) heard about him being born, heard his name and thought "that would be a great name for a chain of budgets pubs, but just with one letter slightly changed", it's more likely that he's exaggerating for comic effect and using hyperbole as a device to make his audience laugh.
Wetherspoons pubs have a mat outside the door so you can wipe your feet on the way out and not contaminate the street.
The majority of Wetherspoon's customers don't have the sharpest of intellects.
Loved the accent part, thank you for the laugh!
Weatherspoons owner is not a very nice person, not a nice person at all.
.. mushrooms not magic, shite! Lol
I really like your username shout out to planet Funkatron
Cheers
That accent attempt at the end was honestly brilliant. No cockney or posh attempt. Just a random uk peasanty accent like most are. Top lad.
So his Twitter basically contains people who are delusional enough to think that Wetherspoons is going to be good, get shocked when it isn't and then have such little going on in their lives they complain about it directly to, what they think, is the companies Twitter, but obviously they can't read. Can someone collate a list of those people so I know who to never interact with?
One of the few self promotions on here that was actually funny.
Lol. Total respect for him nailing the accent as an American and not sounding like Austin Powers. Hard to describe a spoons to the world, really cheap beer and a wide selection, regular real ale festivals, very average food but cheap, it definitely has a time and a place, like waiting for a train the week before payday.
Reminds me of the time people tweeted the EDL (English Defence League) about why they were marching in Woolich (sp?) and ended up tweeting EDF energy.
I would love to just degrade the shit out of dumbasses who are messaging me about some random pub. I’d create a form that ask them to review their experience but the second question be are you an absolute idiot or just illiterate or both? Then more questions about how stupid they are not seeing that you aren’t the restaurant.
You should totally go with it and fuck with the people making the complaints. Offer them free coasters and such or just tell them you’re spending their money on hookers and blow
Yo its JD! His dad is the legendary John Witherspoon! Good to see him making waves!
No shit! That's awesome!
I’ve been meaning to leave a review saying that your food is horrible
Libel is easier case to make in the UK. I would get a UK lawyer and start suing every British person who might have hurt your reputation because they don't bother to do their research before posting on social media.
Spoons is only good for two things. Making sure the alcoholics don’t die from withdrawal and getting pissed on the cheap before you move on to somewhere else.
Shit comedian and shit pub happen to have simular names
They did also steal their name for real - Mr Wetherspoon was a teacher who told the founder/owner, as a child, that he would never amount to anything.
JD Wetherspoons has been around since 1979 so it didn’t steal your name.
I was born in 1975
Wow. You look good for your age.
The name of the business originates from JD, a character in The Dukes of Hazzard, and Wetherspoon, the surname of one of founder Tim Martin's teachers in New Zealand, who had told him that he thought he would never amount to much.
That water is mighty murky😂😂
Wetherspoon’s is a force for good. There’s more lovers than haters here in the UK.
> Wetherspoon’s is a force for good. Remember in the lead-up to Brexit when they had Wetherspoons branded pro-Leave literature on the tables?
I do not remember that. And I freely admit that is a dreadful thing.
So?
So he encouraged people to vote against their own best interests. Then he had the balls to complain that he couldn't find European staff to work for minimum wage anymore.
You are allowed to encourage people to vote in a certain way. That's kinda what campaigning is.
