Not everyone's cup of tea, Wetherspoons have become the UK's most successful pub group ever, with over 800 outlets and 40,000 staff. All put together in just over 40 years.
Always in town/city centres, they've replaced the social/workingmens clubs as the epicentre of many communities. Often inhabitanting an unwanted historic building.
Such as The Royal Opera House in Tunbridge Wells. Disused cinemas, banks, court houses etc. - have also been given a new lease of life, and communities a focal point.
They are handy for a quick pie and chips, but I would hardly call them the epicentre of the community, Barney. 
A village pub might fulfil that role, if you can find one?
I still hear them being referred as "Chav Central".
I am sure Honey homemade and pie and chips are way more delicious. |

Give it time they will soon be flats. Weatherspoons food is basically microwave food and flat beer. The wine is too acidic also. |
