Etiquette Expert’s First Wetherspoons Visit Goes Viral With Cutting Three-Word Verdict

Media write-ups of his Facebook account drew reader praise for the chain’s value.

Overview

  • William Hanson documented his first visit to a Wetherspoons in a Facebook post that quickly circulated in UK outlets.
  • He ordered via the app, quipping the bar was “further away than the lavatories,” and wiped the table before his food arrived.
  • He recounted a server implying he was “butch” for ordering a beer despite him “wearing pink,” and a nearby patron plonking a radar key on his table.
  • He said the meal was “delicious, freshly microwaved” before ending with a dismissive three-word sign-off: “Fat f****** chance.”
  • Daily Mirror, Bristol Live and Manchester Evening News published same-day write-ups, with commenters calling him “hilarious but still polite” and defending Wetherspoons as good value.
