The Silk Mercer - JD Wetherspoon — Restaurant in England

First visit to The Silk Mercer was a very insightful one. The rugby was on at the front of the pub so we decided to sit near the back, which is very much a huge children's area! You have been warned! Children seemed to be everywhere, running amok with no parents in control. The staff patiently served around all this chaos, including what seemed like some sort of wipeout course for them avoiding children's books, colouring pads and pencils thrown carelessly on the floor and children on scooters, on the stairs and high chairs randomly left in the middle of walk ways! So, this is where we sat... But thankfully, given Witherspoon's infamous quick service, our food and drinks arrived swiftly. The vegan burger was a little dry (but a lot of vegan food is to be fair), however the garlic based sauce made the burger.
