Our local outlet has a habit of coating their steaks with some potion or
other that tastes not too brilliant and they are reluctant to leave it
off. So we go elsewhere.

Pizzas are not going to tempt us back.

My big beef with them is that they don't publish their prices, except
on their menus in the outlets. Other similar places manage it, why not
JDW? Even if the price is just shown on a scan of their current on site
menu pages.

Mine is that our local place (that I've probably been in twice in the
many may years it's been there) has 'Norman Doors'.

I've watched many people the few times I've been there struggling by
pulling the 'push' side of the doors because they have 'pull' handles
not just push plates.

Actually they do use Halal meat, it just does not say so on the menu. ie
they do buy halal meat and cook it (dare I say badly) but they do not
offer a halal certificate in the cooking and handling of the meat or
claim that it is halal.

What you want is a totally halal free meal. Try the gammon or the bacon
sandwich:-)

They're phasing out cocktails as well. A friend of mine ordered a
'slippery nipple' on Friday evening and was given the Baileys and the
Sambuca in separate glasses. They're not allowed to mix such drinks any
more, for some reason! I wonder what they'd say nowadays if someone
ordered a 'snakebite'.

As most JDW staff seem to be McDonalds rejects[1][2] you will probably
find the the veggie burgers are fried on the same griddle as the meat
burgers using the animal fat to stop them sticking.

[1] I gave up my local Southend-on-Sea JDW outlet many years ago. I
believe it was a training pub for their managers resulting in the
invisible customer syndrome. Too many staff with manager badges not
serving and too many staff on "cleaning duties" not serving. It was a
well run pub except for the inconvenience of the customers who actually
wanted to buy anything.

Made with real cheese or cheese flavoured glop? They have probably
noticed many fans of the latter enjoying it spread on top of tacos with
green guacamole cheese. A whole man's daily calories in that, I guess.

There have been some great days when they have to clear the fridge of
steaks - bit like selling off close to (but not at) end by date beers.

I hope they keep doing burgers, and putting McD to shame ...

Oh, and the Dragon Curry ;-)

She probably won't care. It's the _taste_ of meat she dislikes, not the
principle. And like some other vegetarians of my acquaintance, she'll
be much more inclined to a Wetherspoon's pizza if they offer a crispy
bacon topping.

The Caley Picture House in Edinburgh is a JDW; didn't realise at the time but they served a decent burger and a good selection of beers.

Not enough of those staeakholders we often read about being consulted,
obviously.

When I asked there were always two excuses, people get really drunk on those and cause fights so we don't serve them, or it's a cocktail and we don't have a license for cocktails. Cocktails are defined as two or more mixed alcoholic drinks.
