Worst Christmas food ever? Wetherspoons Christmas dinner review

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, Adam. Hey. Oh, what you got? I got a diamond

Is it a dangly earring? It is a key ring. Some of these don't even have presents in them anymore, do they

No. So, we have just eaten the Wellerspoons Christmas dinner. The cheapest in London, I believe

The cheapest in London for 16 pounds. 16 pounds. With an alcoholic drink or 14 pounds without an alcoholic drink

How does it rank? can say about the Christmas dinner is the price

That's literally the best thing you can say. It is the best thing I can say. Give it the biggest compliment you've ever given it

It was not as bad as I hoped it was going to be for this content, but it was not as good

as I hoped it was going to be for my lunch. Okay, if you were to rank the worst and the best bits of the Weather Spin's Christmas

dinner, like how would you go? Well, the parsnip was single piece, which was this big, almost hidden beneath the massive pile

of mash. The proportions were quite strange. There was a lot of peas. There was a single piece

of parsnip. There was a vast amount of cranberry sauce. And there was a, I don't say an acceptable

amount of turkey. I actually think the turkey, surprisingly, because turkey is super tough to do

was okay. Not great, but okay. So Adam, what did you think of the Wellespoon's Christmas dinner

It's a really hard question, because as a journalist that writes about food, it was objectively

pretty horrendous but not as horrendous as it could have been. As a person that goes to Witherspoons

it's like pretty good bang for your buck, you know. There something about the squashy peas sort of there something about a frozen pee The turkey foie gras vibes wasn into it The parsnette for me it was sugary but it tasted weirdly like it hadn been frozen

I feel like I've got this image of them actually cutting parsnets backstage in one of the spoons, which is just not true

Like, there's no way they're not frozen. I think we need to dig into this huaigra vibe that you're getting from the turkey

because that is, they've got more sort of canned turkey vibes. But I think foie gras is not the, not the word I would have chosen

So tell me about that. What I mean by that is it was exquisite, an utterly luxurious, like a fine French delicacy

No, it just had the water that's pumped into it unceremoniously. I hope when the turkey's dead, kind of gives the turkey the sort of silky, sort of buttery, almost ice creamy kind of like, I don't know, there's a weird texture to it, which is at once kind of pleasurable and also really sickening

Yeah, and it wasn't dry, which is often the thing you get with turkey. Yeah, yeah

renowned for being a very dry bird, but this wasn't. It was moist. The stuffing as well, right

Like, there's often people's favourite part of Christmas dinner. It wasn't dry, but it was dry in soul

and dry in humanity and dry in personality. I had a sort of essence of sawdust. Yeah

Well, the whole meal did sort of flatter to deceive. It was big. You mean, you finished yours off

but mine was still half there when we left. I'm not trying to Christmas dinner shame you

I don't feel Christmas dinner shame, because this actually comes onto another point we were talking about, which was that Christmas dinners have kind of been cancelled right Like we have got three Christmas parties We haven got one Christmas dinner involved in any of that No we had pizza Where the Christmas dinner gone It true It feels like they been replaced by these sort of crap immersive theatre events or come down into this tunnel and be all Christmassy with Father Christmas or whatever for adults even though it kind of a bit weird But where the Christmas synagogue

Let's just get back, just cut the far. Weather spoons. Sit around a long table. Weather spoons

It's where it is. It's the white night of Christmas. Okay, so if it was like Shag Mary a void, Christmas dinner, spoons, where are you playing your cards

Okay, well, I guess I'm going to Shag the Peas, marry the Turkeys

and avoid the parsnips. Well, I'm going to shag the parsnips because I was like

that's really, really, really good. That actually tastes like a parsnip. I'm going to marry the peas because they're just so comforting

those little bursts of joy, and I'm going to avoid the turkey

Do you reckon they're making a killing on this Christmas dinner height? I mean, they can't be making a killing on the ingredients

because even at the price of weather spoons you're going to be getting an in-for

they're not making a huge amount of money on 11 quid. but if you're going there and you're drinking six Subsides of Guinness

while you have it that's where the money comes from so the powers that be have asked us to rank

the Spoon's Christmas dinner as part of our 9 to 5 how are we going to have any ideas but how to rank it

I mean we could give it how many turkey jumpsics out of 10 what does that how do we do what we tell me how

well 10 turkey jumpsticks would be excellent one turkey jumpstick would be I needed to go to hospital

okay did you okay I like that so it's from I need to go to hospital

The best night of my life. This is the best Christmas dinner. I'm going in every night in Christmas

Okay. How do you want to do it? How are you going to, how many drumstrel for drumsticks

Drum roll for drumsticks. Okay so I am going to give the Weather Spoon Christmas dinner three turkey drumsticks out of ten I think you got to do the turkey jumpsticks Those don like dumbsticks

I'm going to give us Christmas dinner four turkey drumsticks. I love other spoons. I'll go there for a pint. They do a good pint

It's not a good place for Christmas dinner. Christmas dinner is a really hard thing to get right

hours, you can't do it in four minutes. It's almost like you're saying, Weather Spoons isn't the sort of place you'd go for a special occasion

No, I mean, that is. It's exactly what I'm saying. So, I cannot speak any more about the Weth Spoons

and it's Christmas dinner, so shall we end this by pulling another cracker? I mean, I'd love to carry on talking about Spoons, but let's do it

Let's do it. Let's get out of here. I hope you win this time because I've already got my diamonds. Oh, I'm so sorry

I'm so sorry. Nobody wins with these crackers. Nobody wins. Sad, sad

that? It's a magic trick. It's some kind of magic trick. I'll have to read the instructions. Do you want the joke

Absolutely. Let's do the joke. Yeah, let's do it. Let's do the joke. My wife... God, it's going to be a 1970s sexist joke

My wife has said I only have two faults. I don't listen and something else

Have I got to guess what was something else is? That was the punchline. I don't get it

I don't listen and something else. I'm so slow with Jake. Honestly, it's so stressful

I just did not get that at all. This is what I have to work with

I think we'll come back next week and we'll try this again. Thank you

That's doing it
