The Counting House — Restaurant in England

My wife and I decided to have a romantic Thursday "date night" at our local Wetherspoons. We're on a budget, you see, and nothing says 'I love you' quite like a two-for-one drink deal and sticky carpets. I was feeling adventurous, so I went for the Spicy Meat Feast Pizza and a side of garlic bread. Oh, what an adventure it was. The pizza arrived looking like it had been through a small, localised fire. The "spicy meat" was a mystery, a sort of greyish-brown gravel that had been sprinkled on top. It had all the flavour of a discarded gym sock and the texture of disappointment. I'm pretty sure a single jalapeño had been cut into 12 identical, microscopic pieces and artfully arranged to create the illusion of spice. The garlic bread, my stalwart companion, was equally tragic. It was less "bread" and more "leathery biscuit" with a hint of garlic-flavoured sadness. I had to gnaw on it for a good five minutes before admitting defeat. My partner, bless their heart, bravely tried to make a joke about the "meaty rocks" on my pizza, but we both knew this was a solemn occasion. We spent the rest of the evening silently staring into the void, a profound shared grief over what could have been. In the end, it was a memorable date night, just not for the reasons we'd hoped. My heart may have been full, but my stomach was a hollow, desolate wasteland. We won't be back for the food, but the cheap drinks and shared trauma...

1st time in this weatherspoons, we live in South Wales and was down visiting family and had a meal out. For starters the person taking our order got it completely wrong and had to start all over again, could have been a trainee though? Or communication issue? Kids really wanted a smoothie drink with their kids meals, but they non, luckily kids wasn't to bothered and made do with another drink. All meals was ok except my mixed grill, my partner ordered peppercorn sauce with it, but the person must not have heard this, so wasnt put through the till, so had to ask where it was, just to be told we didnt order it, so made it sound like we was trying it on, also my mixed grill was missing the mushroom and tomato that is supposed to come with it, my partner told them it was missing the same time as the peppercorn sauce, but we never got the missing items. The steak was supposed to me cooked medium or medium rare, but was well done, I also could not tell the difference between the lamb and beef, tasted the same?.

Also they tried to short change us on our lager shandy, about half an inch of the top, so had to ask them to fill it to the top.

Just didn't really enjoy anything at this...

Well it’s Burns night and they have no Caledonian burgers which is the haggis special. After we ordered our drinks and sat down to order off the Burns week menu; we found out that they had sold out. This only being at 18-00pm. At a decent food outlet this would not happen. Other people also had the same bad experience. Recently the food has been served aired and not hot. Also other meals advertised have been not on the menu. Bad logistics or what. HOW BAD IS THIS. Also if you ask for your mixed grill medium it comes cremated. I had the mixed grill and asked if I could have the whiskey sauce with it and believe it or not I was charged for it. UNBELIEVABLE. PS Not going there for the valantine’s meal special because it is not guaranteed. Maybe hungry horse or another local pub which can guarantee what is advertised. PPS Once sold out all special menus should be removed. PPPS THIS HAPPENED LAST YEAR ON BURNS NIGHT. ABSOLUTE JOKE WESTHERSPOONS. MAKES ME WONDER IF THEY READ THESE REVIEWS AND RESPOND TO...
