Etiquette expert William Hanson has visited a Wetherspoons pub for the first time, offering his candid assessment of the chain. Known for his traditional views on manners, Hanson documented his experience on Facebook, where he cleaned the table with a wet wipe before ordering.
Hanson noted the bar was located further away than the lavatories, so he used the app to order. He described the menu as 'an entire forest of menus' and joked that the free drink with every meal was 'just as well, because I think I might need it.'
The expert recounted several odd incidents during his visit. The server implied he was 'butch' for ordering a beer, despite him wearing pink. A woman at a neighbouring table inexplicably placed a radar key, used for disabled toilets, in front of him.
Hanson ordered a small plate, which he described as 'a sea of beige,' but admitted he enjoyed it, saying the food was 'delicious actually, freshly microwaved.' Despite this, his verdict on returning was blunt: 'Fat f****** chance.'
Viewers praised his honesty, with one commenting: 'Acknowledging that the food is actually pretty decent for the price shows you won't compromise excellent manners for a laugh.' Another added: 'Wetherspoons is good value and is great for breakfast. Not gourmet, but it doesn't pretend to be.'
