Pasta Alfredo:
Bowl of Penne Pasta, cream, pesto, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, topped with rocket leaves and your choice of a pint of beer/guiness/lager or coffee or soft drink
Total price £4.29 for meal and drink including waitress service. Couldn't buy the ingredients much cheaper if you tried!
Typical London price for that - £4.50 lager plus £9.50 pasta = £14.00+

Must admit, I like a good Wetherspoons too and they have some great locations. The one in Harrogate is the old Winter Gardens dance hall (I think) with a lovely beer garden.

I like this one in Ayr the trip back from the toilet is interesting, it's via the door behind the pulpit alongside the stained glass window They are getting flack because of zero hours contracts and sories of staff being sent home ater only a hours work, although they have been rated as a top employer for years so possibly a mater of a few managers who cant organise rotas properly getting them a bad name

Good use of old religious buildings. Many of these buildings have great architectural merit, and what with many people finally waking up and congregations declining, it would be a shame to lose the buildings.
The staff all seem to have a very good joke, and fun time at my local Wetherspoons. Although some may have zero hours contracts my experience is that in a busy local like ours, the same staff seem to be working all the time.
Freedom salad is another one of my favourites.
Giant couscous, carrot, chickpeas, soya beans, peppers, lentils, pumpkin seeds, pomegranate, mint, rocket, balsamic vinaigrette dressing.
It's about £5.50 including a pint/glass of wine or less with a soft drink.

Well name your pub! I wonder if they will let us stay in the car park, if we promise to have a meal deal!
