Sorry can't agree with these comments - I've been too a few Wetherspoon's and have always found the food to be okay - not anything special by any means but solid fair to the same "standard" as Brewers fayre, chef & brewer, Fullers etc - never had anything I would class as inedible.
They also server local real ale cheap and I can't see how the "name" lagers can be lower strength than the equivalent in other pubs?
