The Boot Inn - JD Wetherspoon — Restaurant in Burnley

I'm from out of town so I thought I couldn't go wrong going to Burnley weatherspoons and ordering what is familiar to me. Or so I thought! I ordered chicken tikka masala. The chicken wasn't tender. It was extremely hard, and very small chunks. Who do you have to pay 43p more for a garlic naan? I can buy two garlic naans in the supermarket for eighty pence which incidentally are twice the size and are proper naans. Not microwaved. The plain naan was so thin it turned to cardboard within five mins of arriving at the table. The rice portion was small and nowhere near capable of soaking up the amount of masala sauce on my plate which incidentally was trying to hide the measly six small pieces of chicken I got. I could make this meal for about three pounds fifty. Yes I know, I'm dining out but the experience at Burnley I have to say was the worst I've experienced and I've been to weatherspoons all over the country. I won't be eating there again. Staff were nice but I wasn't asked if I enjoyed it when the staff came to take my plate away. Not a good experience at all. Burnley weatherspoons seems to be completely different to the ones I usually go in. I've never paid extra for garlic naan even though it is always dearer...

I mean, it's a Spoon's, you don't expect to be treated like royalty.. Had lunch here today with my 19yr old daughter. She ordered half a cider with her meal, via the app. Waiter brought it over, asked for her ID, and she realised with dismay that she didn't have it on her. Fair enough, no ID, no cider, her fault. She apologised. We expected that she wouldn't get the drink, but we didn't expect the waiter to mutely shoot her a filthy look, snatch the drink and flounce away extravagantly. Wow. She then found that she had a photo of her driving licence in her phone, so I took it over to flouncy pants on the off chance that he might accept it, just to be hissed at and told it was against the law and I wasn't going to get a refund. I didn't ask for a refund. I get it, you can't serve a drink without ID, but was there really the need for the rudeness and histrionics over a simple mistake? He then spent our time there flouncing past our table, shooting snarky looks. Fortunately my daughter had her back to him and didn't see. No need. Grow up. Go get a job in IT, where you don't have to...
