Was out of work for a couple of months ages ago and got into the habit of calling in early after the missus had gone to work. When the regulars start "alright mate, got a tenner util tomorrow"? and you start joining in with the communal tenner exchange it's time to give it a miss ang give Homes under the Hammer a watch.

Its the only pub I've had to send food back for being cold as they shove them under those lights till someone decides to bring it to you The pizzas are good but apparently they are the only food that is cooked fresh Quote

So most of the breakfast stuff, pizzas, burgers, paninis and the fried chicken/spice bag stuff Quote

Wetherspoons across the road (The Punch Bowl) does a far superior breakfast to the hotel, and it's cheaper. Also can't be doing with buffet-style English breakfasts like they have in Premier Inn - watching people cough into their hand or scratch their arse before they pick up the tongs 🤢, so the Wetherspoons is a no-brainer. Shame they don't have any rooms there. Edited yesterday at 19:33 by Cheese Quote

I always just assumed it was decent, having a gym swayed it for me. My word though, bar the staff who were really nice, it didn't have a single redeeming feature. Spa is long gone as well. Quote
Leyther_Matt Posted yesterday at 21:04 Posted yesterday at 21:04 I actually assumed it had become a migrant hotel some time ago. Who knew that the residents of Nottingham were eligible? Quote
FrancisFogarty Posted 22 hours ago Posted 22 hours ago We were in the Angel Hotel, Spoons Whitby at weekend. Nice and clean, busy and a good selection of local drinks on the bar. According to the website the rooms are decent too. Quote

FrancisFogarty Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago The thing that boils my piss about Spoons is when student types order and pay at the table. Each one separately. Oh and when they bring all their electric stuff in to charge . Phones laptops tablets the lot. Quote

I have my favourite table in an alcove, hidden away next to the disabled loo. I can position myself so nobody can see my screen; charge my laptop and phone, order food and drinks to my table and can nip to loo when busting, safe in the knowledge I'll be back before any realises I'm away... Monday's when the Guinness is about £2.70 a pint Quote

Monday's when the Guinness is about £2.70 a pint A chap was charging all of the above on the table I was sitting at. He didn’t want me sitting there and was puffing and blowing for ages. When he fucked off for his third coffee I took a photo of my knob on his phone and sent it to all of his contacts. If it was you I apologise. Quote
