If you cast aside the prices, what is actually good about The Banker's Draft? 

 Think of it as the high street version of a motorway services- ie not as a go to venue.

a place to sit down

35 million people eat at a Weatherspoon each year

toilet 

cup of tea-unlimited refills

cold soft drinks

meeting place

no loud music

disabled toilet

plenty of established professional staff

duty manager

no TV's all over

internet

disabled toilet

food early-late

CAMRA 50p discount on proper beer

consistent provision  in 900 pubs

clean kitchen and bar

free water on bar

employ 40 000 people

crap lager for some

often attractive interesting building saved from demolition

central locations

accomodation in 50

the widest range of beers

some local beers

This is not an advert -this is a response to negativity and a reminder that you a have a choice.

Beer author Pete Brown says that "...every single aspect of a Wetherspoon’s is either brilliant or _  awful, and there’s nothing in between.”

I have to give them that I suppose. I was surprised to see that they were the only pub still open in Wombwell town centre.

What are you on about  ?    There are 6 pubs on the high street with a number of others within a short walking distance away.

Dinner in the Bankers on Friday last , chips and fish to die for , Best in Town , A pint of Ruddles £1-75p. Just one grumble no Stoneses . We had to go down Dixon Lane for that to the Norfolk , A pub full of proper Sheffielders supping proper beer .

Define a proper sheffielder

Big pouch of hand rolling tobacco, imported from the annual holiday to benidorm. Says "reyt" instead of right. Drives a racing blue coloured Ford Focus. Wears a tracksuit even when not exercising, shorts on a sunny day to show off the Sheffield Wednesday tattoos on the leg. Says cheers instead of thank you. Owns a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Lost life savings gambling and thinks they are a stand up comedian that everyone wants to listen to after 3 pints of Strongbow Dark Fruit.
