The Sir Thomas Gerard - JD Wetherspoon — Restaurant in Wigan

Today 5/8/17 at approx 13:30 I witnessed a gentleman being shot backwards from the hand dryer as he tried to dry his hands. He was in shock and his hands were black. The dryer was sparking and smoking, when I was asking if he was ok another customer said there was a sign on it the day before telling people not to use, today it had gone!

I called for the staff manager to come and help, time passed and he eventually came (Delay). I confronted the manager with the electrical safety of the dryer and questioned where is the sign from yesterday and why had no one switched the unit off above and take the fuse out, his response :

I don't know We are not electricians

When I pointed out all you needed to do was switch the switch to off position he looked at me with a blank and vacant expression. It took me less than 5 seconds to isolate and make safe the unit.

The staff did not care that a member of the public was shocked and nearly burnt, what if that was a child????

Weatherspoons you and your staff have a responsibility to your staff and public to ensure safety at all times!!! I witnessed dangerous equipment still in use and being accessed by the public.

The manager was so funny as when I pointed out I work in the electrical safety industry with 29 years experience in Both EMC and Safety he argued against me.

I will be ringing environmental health and the HSE on Monday to...

Truly spectacular atmosphere and beeee-autiful food, I ordered my first dish because it felt like a vocation... the Chicken and Rib Combo. There was a (rather short) slap bang 15 minute wait on top of the 10 minute usual wait but it didnt bother me, just my mate who sat there eating tandoori chicken wrap while the rest of us waited. Suddenly a bright jet of light caught my eye as the angelic waiter carried the pristine plate to my throne. Truly spectacular! The ribs were sticky, the (Jack Daniels) sauce was saucy and the coleslaw was sweet. Oh but the chicken, It looked like a pitta and didn't taste far from it, like a wet soggy warburton thin. Chips were normal but I was pretty bewildered by the fact that my plate was absent of 5 onion rings. All this for £10.35! Should probably mention the turd on the...

The worst Chicken burger ever 🤮, I ordered 2 supposedly char grilled chicken burger x2, OMG !!! What turned up was a boiled chicken anaemic chicken breast that has not see any sight of a grill at all, on the plate was a few chips a small bun with the horrible boiled chicken breast, not appealing at all, no little salad on the plate to make it look at least a bit better, I just couldn’t eat it !! What has happened in this place, you used to do a decent meal once upon a time but not anymore, even the fish and chips has gone down hill and all you get is a bit of fish stuck in a huge amount of batter, I said after the previous meal I wouldn’t eat there again and made the huge mistake of trying the chicken burger 🤮 never again will I eat here, come on pull your socks up and get back to how you used to be as this...
