The Breakfasts aren't bad. Premiers are better but they are £10.99 now. Never had Toby Breakfasts, there are none in London.

[portside1] 23/4/2024 20:57

The breakfasts are rubbish not in the same league as Toby It looks terrible on the plate eggs always over cooked and black edges

I'll bet you he responds positively.

I agree whole heartedly and emailed the company to ask why. Seems a bit of mis step given their customer base. Sure a Korean Chicken Strip burger is nice but what about a half price English pie and pint for the day next year.

It's odd that they do Burns Night for the Jocks, A Weekender of cut price Guinness for the Paddy's but FA on St. George's Day!

You might as well name the company GWatson - Stonegate for those of you wondering.

Starts off saying how expensive it is and then ends saying how much good value it is! Mind you could pay £20 round Soho/Leicester Square for a Burger and another £9 for a pint so £13.99 for both is a deal! I've been in there and Coffee is still £1.56 but you might have to share a table with a few Tourists and Northerners! ;-))

Trade Union GMB warned this week that hundreds of much-loved pubs across the region were in "serious danger" of pulling their last pints. It claimed that the national company, owned by TDR Capital, said there was "no guarantee" that it could "continue as a going concern, as it struggles to refinance a £2.2bn debt mountain."

That was replicated across all regions in the local press (they go and name the pubs). The GMB must be of the view that their members need to be listened to as this may all go 'pear shaped' in the next year. The first lot of refinanced debt TDR trumpet was for a lot less and secured on the freehold estate (if I read it right) .... low hanging fruit 'n all. This £2.2B will be a lot more expensive to resolve. I reckon on double figure interest ( JDW is I think around 6% ).... An additional matter is the amount of corporate debt that needs arranging this next year.... just look at Thames Water. There will be a limit to the amount of available refinance at 'do.... able rates'.

If TDR decide to try and get as much of their investment back as they can then it is the workers that will ultimately suffer. Reason for the GMB to raise its voice of late. The problem is that the more noise there is then customers will hear of it. A bit of a problem ahead even if they sort the debt as I think the rate will be very high and then my view is the fun and games will start.

Meanwhile JDW is going about its business. Not a bad share to hold in these uncertain times.

The Football Pubs are the Rowdiest but I rarely go in them. You're more likely to see Fights and Rowdy behavior in those, If I go in them I go when the Footballs finished.

[mr.elbee] 21/4/2024 09:30

that is why they are busy

[johnwise] 20/4/2024 17:30

Is WETHERSPOONS the answer to the Great British staycation problem? Costs of holidaying at home are spiralling but the budget boozer could come to you rescue this summer

[isis] 20/4/2024 17:05

Seems a little bit Green that Guy. Certainly aren't the Rowdiest Pubs where I live!

They are very busy but don't even have Music!
