Okay, thanks, will give those a look. I'm usually leery of food from
plastic pubs like those, but if you've eaten there and think they're
okay, i'll rise above my prejudice.

To be fair, I find Wetherspoons food acceptable in general. If you
don't, you probably won't like those either.

I can't remember the last time i ate in a Wetherspoons, actually, so i
have no idea if i'd like these places or not.

Wetherspoons food is centrally cooked and supplied to each outlet in
"cooked-chilled" form to be reheated as required.

And I'm told that applies to absolutely everything that they offer

I understand this is true of a distressing amount of food at 'proper'
restaurants too.

Still, i have no beef with central cooking. I'd much rather have food
centrally cooked by skilled technicians working to a tight process and
then microwaved by an overworked teenage bar wench/knave, than food
prepared from scratch by said wench/knave. Never forget: potato waffles
are made in a factory, and those are the very acme of food.

I wonder if i should just pack a steak and my old laptop which gets very,
very hot when overworked.
