An Oxfordshire JD Weatherspoons is coming under pressure from its early morning customers to ban cooked breakfasts. They say the smell is interfering with their appreciation of fine wines on the drinks list.
Ron Miller, a regular customer of The Disingenuous Proprietor, said, 'We have an informal wine appreciation society here and meet at opening time seven days a week to sample the delights of the wines on offer. But in recent months we've noticed the bouquet of what we've tried is being corrupted by the nasty niff of sausages, bacon and eggs.
'So we've spoken to the sommelier, aka Big Nev the barman, and asked if he'd take our complaint up with chain owner, Tim Martin. I mean, we've yet to see one breakfast being eaten. Yet the stench of burnt oil is awful. Just last week Nev had a case of Buckfast 2009 in and we were full of anticipation to sample it, but the smell of fried grub ruined what should have been a highlight for us.
'If our plea falls on deaf ears we might have to resort to what we did before this place opened,' Ron said. When asked what that was he explained, 'Reconvene on the benches at the duckpond in the park.'
