Who is going to pay for meals at the pub when they can go and eat whatever they want at home?
You're not going to get anywhere selling food and drink in a place where it's not what the customer wants there and then.
You might as well stock McDonalds with beer and call it a shrewd business maneuver.
How many people eat at Wetherspoons 3/4/5 times a week?
Wetherspoons is good at being what it is, and that is a licenced restaurant that does cheap and cheerful grub.
Wetherspoons is not a local pub dependant on local trade.
Wetherspoons is a high street brand like WH Smiths, Woolworths, or Burger King.
They live off passing trade.
Wetherspoons, to me, is not a pub.
Just somewhere that happens to sell food and drink.

Sorry but 'Spoons is a brilliant place. Every Wednesday all of my student mates go to 'Spoons and have a few drinks and a meal and every week we see the same faces. So thats passing trade? Strange passing trade to me.
