Wetherspoons - Sheffield

We went for lunch and found the restaurant to be busy. The upstairs area was mostly occupied by younger people, while the ground floor was filled with older patrons. There was a lot of noise in the restaurant. The few empty tables had not been cleared, so I had to ask for a table to be cleaned before ordering. I ordered ham, eggs, and chips, while my wife had a jacket potato with three bean chili. Although I was warned that the plate was hot, the food did not seem very hot. The chili my wife had was not very spicy and was served with the potato, rather than as a filling. The portions were decent, but not overly generous, considering the price. The meals came with a complimentary drink, so we had coffee. Hot drinks were self-serve from a machine with unlimited refills.

The wrong meal was brought to our table initially, with almost cold peas. My husband's mixed grill had tough meat and a mushroom that was so tough he couldn't even cut it. The chips were also almost cold. We have dined at Wetherspoon many times before, but we have never had a meal as bad as this one.

Came in for drinks before a performance at Sheffield City Hall, which is very close by. Classic Wetherspoons really, all seemed fairly decent. Drinks were nice, staff were friendly, and the place wasn’t rowdy.

It was a breezy day, average wind speed 10 knots, coming from an easterly direction. I pulled back on my flaps, lined myself up, and taxied to the bar. I radioed in for a mangolorian curry and was answered in the affirmative. One seated, and seat belted, I engaged my fork into an initial swift descent to swoop in on the soft cauliflower, butternut squash and spinach mixture, before entering into a swift angle of ascent in order for the aforementioned spiced dish to radio in with my tastebuds. My report is as follows: fluffy white cauliflower, dark threatening spinach, areas of poor visibility when entering a cluster of butternut squash followed by a threat of serous turbulence when passing through the altostratus.

Breakfast was very good however plates were cold resulting in food being lukewarm. Staff are very pleasant. Could I suggest a tip box be provided.
