What can one say about a Wetherspoons, really?
The ale was cheap enough, the food served its purpose and the service was indifferent. Standard. Mind, the only pub in Bicester, in my experience, to consistently serve a decent pint of proper beer - management at certain other pubs just across from the Methodist Church on Sheep Street could learn a thing or two about, y'know, keeping the bloody lines clean and rotating the barrels, stuff like that...
Anyway, enough. We visited the Penny on Saturday morning for a pre-shopping breakfast, Jo and I and a couple of my brothers. Smashing-big, fairly standard plates of breakfast - Rich had a fairly giant plate, which looked ace - and overall very much enjoyed.
That said, Jo was a bit pissed with the lack of veggie sausages (and the less-than-piping-hot pancakes she received after ordering them instead of the veggie breakfast) - but I'm not sure I've ever been to any Wetherspoons ever without there being some sort of fly in the ointment.
I had a decent pint of Ruddles County (but significantly more expensive than the one I had at the Standing Order in Derby a couple of days before) - that with a fried breakfast set the day up nicely. All very civilised, lovely and pleasant.
