The Ernehale - JD Wetherspoon — Restaurant in Gedling

I recently had the profound displeasure of dining at a Wetherspoons restaurant with my mum, and I must say it was an unforgettable and utterly catastrophic experience. While the staff provided average service, the food, particularly the burgers, left us with a lingering sense of regret and even made my mum feel sick later.

Let's address the elephant in the room: the abysmal excuse for a burger. It was truly the epitome of culinary failure. The patty itself was an insult to the concept of meat, devoid of any flavor or succulence. It was akin to chewing on a piece of flavorless cardboard, leaving me utterly dismayed. Even the most budget frozen burger from a supermarket would have been a gourmet masterpiece in comparison.

To add insult to injury, the size of the burger was laughable. It was scarcely larger than a mere slider, leaving us both feeling deceived and famished. How Wetherspoons managed to transform a quintessential dish like a burger into such a pitiful portion is beyond comprehension. It was an outright disappointment.

Now, let's delve into the taste—or lack thereof. The burger had a rubbery texture that was both unappetizing and inexplicably hard to swallow. Each bite was a grim reminder of the dire mistake we had made in choosing this establishment for our meal. The flavors were nonexistent, rendering the entire experience akin to chewing on tasteless gristle. It was an assault on our taste buds, and the repercussions lingered long after we left the premises.

But wait, there's more. The burger came adorned with a slice of cheese that appeared to have been carelessly slapped onto the patty. Not only was it cold and unappetizingly unmelted, but it lacked any essence of flavor whatsoever. It seemed as though someone had taken a lifeless, factory-made cheese slice straight from the refrigerator and casually placed it atop the insipid patty. It was an egregious offense to the notion of a proper cheeseburger.

Regrettably, the aftermath of our dining experience was far from pleasant. Later that evening, my poor mum fell ill, experiencing discomfort and uneasiness. While we cannot say with absolute certainty that the burger was the sole culprit, it was undeniable that the entire meal left an adverse impact on her well-being. This added an extra layer of distress to an already disheartening experience.

In conclusion, I implore anyone contemplating a visit to Wetherspoons to steer clear of their burgers. They were unequivocally the worst burgers we have ever encountered, both in terms of taste and portion size. Save yourself the disappointment, and perhaps even potential health issues, by seeking out a more competent establishment that takes pride in serving appetizing and...

If I could I would give this place 0 stars after mine and my wife experience there. Ordered burgers and soft drinks via app. Drinks came first but waiter said 'sorry csnt remember which one is which' as we ordered Pepsi and pepsi max cherry. Next our burgers came out which were burnt to charcoal and my wife burnt her finger on the plate. Took the food back explained my wife had burnt her finger and there was no offer of ice or asking if she was even ok. When our food came back out we asked to speak to the manager. Duty manager comes over and asked what was wrong. We explained everything and he asked 'what would you like me to do about that?' No one even offered to put this in the accident/incident report book. We had to tell them it's their duty to do that. Then the duty manager proceeded to say 'well it's not in my interest to be over here's surely it is as your technically the manager on duty. My assessment on this place is staff do not care and manager was not manager material and did not know processes or procedures. Will not be going back to this wetherspoons for a very long time or staff and that particular manager get more training on how to deal with customers. Absolutely disgraceful service. Worst service I have ever had when eating in a food...

Ordered a fosters on the table service app. Waited 10 minutes and it still hadn’t arrived. My mistake really for going to enquire at the bar about how long it would take.

Was met by a charming lady who said “I’m pouring it now” and gave me what can only be described as an exaggerated sarcastic smile.

I then returned to my table as it was apparent any sort of conversation would be lost on this charmer.

2 minutes later she comes and firmly places it down on my table and walks away without saying a word with the sort of attitude of a disgruntled ex partner or a neighbour you’re in a dispute over a fencing boundary (luckily neither of these are the case)

I get it it’s a spoons, I get it that you don’t have to have a degree or probably even a GCSE to work here.

And I’m not asking for Fred from first dates level service. But when there’s nobody at the bar bar a couple of people ordering food. 12 minutes is a long time to wait for a pint to then be treated as if I’m in the wrong for asking where the thing I paid for is.

If you don’t like your job you should have worked harder in school but don’t take it out on a geezer that just...
