Popped in for a bite to eat one weekday evening, standard Wetherspoons fayre, I opted for the 'Gormet Burger' with a free pint thrown in for just under £8.Well that's a bargain in anyone's book but even more so in the heart of the Big Smoke where a pint is over £4 on it's own.
But the proof of the pudding (or Burger) is in the eating.
Well I've previously had this meal In Bournemouth, and very nice it was too, and this was just as good.Nicely cooked meaty slice of Cow, topped with Bacon,Stilton and Shropshire Blue & spring onion sauce, two dips (Relish, Mayo) plus some nice chunky chips and 'real' Onion Rings to accompany it.The only negative was the bun was a bit limp and pretty much fell apart when picked up, it could have done with toasting, but other than that a tasty meal at a bargain price.

Myself and my partner opted for the Beer & a Burger @£4:99 which sounded a bargain, well it is if you want your Burger pretty much cremated, a pity as even in its sorry state it still tasted not too bad with a nice relish and salad, plus the Chips are cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside, fluffy inside.
Service was quick, come on guys, don't do a simple thing like nuking a Burger (my partners was the same!) when you are offering on the whole, great value for money.

I have to admit I've had some bad Burger experiences in previous Weatherspoons (Chepstow's The Bell Hanger and The V-Shed in Bristol spring to mind) dry, pretty tastless seemed to be the norm for this company.
Not actually realising this was a Weatherspoons Pub my Partner and I popped in for a meal, we both opted for the 'Gourmet Burger' a '100% British Beef Burger' topped with two bacon slices and a Stilton, Shropshire blue & spring onion sauce, pus onion rings and fries.Very tasty it was too, tasted freshly cooked (as it should!) the fries, rings and sauce were all good quality.
The meal was very good value too, we managed to get a special offer of a free drink thrown in for under £7 each, though this was earlier in the year so I can't confirm this offer is still available.
Service was very good and a nice Pub enviroment with a fairly good choice of Beers etc.
