Wetherspoon ( J.d.) Share Discussion Threads

Daily Mail article had JDW as one of its to 20 UK shares to hold. Looking for £7.35 to £7.37 for more buys from me. Within 3 mths see no reason for this share to be above £8.50. Great share imo to hold long term.

Edit 15.50…. Order filled, set another limit buy @ £7.27

The Clapham one is getting so packed these days even has Door Staff on Thursdays!

other pubs and breweries could come nearer to Tim's prices[most of the current high prices are just rank excess profiteering] but they dont because they think the Great British public will keep on paying

but they wont

I met a friend in the Peckham Branch yesterday, Kentish Drovers and they had 4 specials on @£1.29 Abbot and Greene King IPA, Mad Squirrel Trident and Harvard American IPA 5.5% - that one too strong for me.
The Trident was very nice though and made for an exceptionally cheap Night out! :))

Very friendly too, other Pubs round there charging £6/£7 a pint average.

It's a great idea and would save the tax payer a fortune!

Frankly it would be far more beneficial to us all if the HoL was turned into a Spoons.

[mr.elbee] 11/4/2024 16:10

the thing is Tim wasnt joking!

[bountyhunter] 11/4/2024 15:37

Why stop there, Buckingham Palace would make a great Spoons! ;-)

...only joking

Just been to our local Spoons for the fish and chip special and read the summer blurb and letters to and from Tim.

get this!!

If it comes up for sale he wants to turn the House of Lords into a Spoons !!

as one jock on these threads used to say.......

"Intae 'em Timmy!!"

I'm not sure there's much in the Stonegate portfolio to interest Tim. Many are clapped out local boozers but the Kings Head in Chingford is a valuable gem. But knowing Tim he's probably more likely to buy the police station next door and convert it.

Good News for Beaconsfield. Another £2m Spoons going up!

5.75 - 5.90 isn’t putting Gozza off ..
He’d even do 6.00 , but 6.20 and he’s out ….

His meagre weekly budget allows a few pints but gotta watch the pennies eh Gozzooo..

“ my property empire “ he said … 😂😂😂😂8514;

lol , council houses you get rent paid for don’t count

I think Spoons probably didn't need to close some of those Pubs, but there are many other chains/independents struggling still.
Spoons have a great operation and more or less the same stuff in every Pub which saves a hell of alot of phaffing about and people know what they want at a price they can afford.
I have a friend who's an absolute EU Nutter against Brexit but still drinks in them most Nights! He does own a Flat in Poland of all places!

[gozzie2] 10/4/2024 20:41

Probably ,as my mates all have different views and they go in Spoons mainly because of price and no loud music ?They won't turn their nose up at under 3 quid a pint, just to prove a point lol ?I've got into these mix and match bottles with the partner or mate .5.90 for two are great value ,having increased from 5.75 .That increase won't put us off, as most pubs charge 5.90 or above for one ?

[isis] 10/4/2024 20:35

Like I said those who say they boycott this and that never fekin went to Pubs anyway! Like the non-smokers that were supposed to all go down them, they never did and they never would!
Bunch o' hypocrites!

[mr.elbee] 10/4/2024 20:19

"I wish he'd stop banging on about Brexit, C19 restrictions, VAT on food etc"

but that is a big part of what he is selling ... the complete opposite of lefty/green/trans/euro propaganda and virtue signalling.

he is signalling REAL virtues.


[try EMPATHY for the old punters who would like Tim to be PM. it doesnt really hurt]

[gozzie2] 10/4/2024 20:01

Yep As before covid it's getting difficult to find a seat ,especially at weekends . Chorley this week ,if we can find a seat ??Some of those Slugs would be large enough as a Spoons .I don't believe they have ever known what they are ?They ain't pubs and they ain't restaurants?Just soulless places?

[isis] 10/4/2024 19:48

I don't think you can get many more people in the my local Spoons at busy times. They are often very full and standing room only at certain times. Unfortunately London Pubs rarely have Gardens either.

JDW is emerging as a category killer. The downbeat reaction to the last results was driven by the lack of news on the dividend and I suspect the dividend will not be reinstated anytime soon if they get the chance to pick over S&L, which is no problem by me as i'd rather earnings were reinvested the business.

TM is a good capital allocator and I wish he'd stop banging on about Brexit, C19 restrictions, VAT on food etc and get on with the business. All businesses face challenges. Simples. He should focus on what he can control and forget about the rest.

Maybe Tim can pick up a few of the larger ones for a song to boost Wetherspoons pubs to over a thousand! Even if not as already has been said with 4500 pubs potentially closing Wetherspoons pubs are likely to benefit hugely from unexpected extra custom.
