How clean is your Wetherspoons?

Question

Check your local council's website for a list of all its food outlets and their hygeine ratings.

My EHO friend says the rating system really means:

0-1 stars: really dilapidated and disorganised, food can't be clean.
2-3 stars: good enough, well enough run.
4-5 stars: they don't do anything with real food.

The Scottish & Newcastle "Fizz Factory" got 5 stars, the pie shop/pub where the EHOs themselves eat got 3; Yates Wine Lodge and a Wetherspoons with Cask Marque got absolutely nil points - yuk!

Pubs that don't serve food don't seem to be included - why's lager a food when it's made but not when it's regurgitated?

Must find the scores for some proper breweries...

The smoking section in ours has been greatly reduced in size.

Chris Lonsbrough · Answer

The Half Moon, Mile End London E1 is now half smokeless with effect from Today - one of the two bars is now completely non-smoking, which is a great expansion of the non-smoking area. Also notices on the bar explaining this, and pointing out that the entire Pub will be non-smoking in July by Law as will all Pubs "with a few exceptions" ... (their wording) not sure what they mean by this.
