00:00 Hi everyone it's a beautiful day in Wolverhampton. I've just discovered
00:04 something quite unsavoury, not to my taste actually. Someone on TikTok has
00:11 said that the Clifton Weatherspoons in Dudley is one of the worst in the
00:17 country. Now I don't know what UK banters, their TikTok name, has based this
00:24 information off but I'm sure it's not reliable. Now the perpetrator has posted
00:29 the Clifton as part of a list of 25 of the worst Weatherspoons is in the
00:37 country and their name is UK banters on TikTok. I don't think it's banters, I've
00:45 taken this quite personally because I love Weatherspoons. I don't think I was
00:52 the right person for this job to be honest. I'm going to try and be as
00:54 unbiased and impartial about this as possible. You know what I also find quite
00:58 funny UK banters did also a 25 best Weatherspoons is in the country and they
01:08 put the moon underwater on there. I'll let you decide your thoughts on that.
01:16 They obviously don't know what they're talking about do they? If you're gonna
01:21 rate all the Weatherspoons is in the country you've got to go to all of them.
01:27 Honestly guys, this looks like a really nice Weatherspoons. It's busy and it's really pretty actually.
01:37 So far, impressions really good. I'm gonna find a table. It's clean, it's busy, it's actually really nice looking in here.
01:48 The tables are all tidy, the floor isn't sticky. It's just really nice vibes.
01:57 My usual order at Weatherspoons is a fish and chips and a pint of left. But I don't think I should get a pint because it is the middle of the day.
02:04 But when I think about it, that's never actually stopped me before so. I've
02:08 ordered my fish and chips and I've ordered a pint of left. I'm trying to
02:12 find a reason as to why I did this. We're at Weatherspoons and people order
02:17 pints don't they? So we have to give a reliable accurate review. The pint is very cold and it
02:22 comes in the correct glass, more like a chalice. And it's really delicious obviously.
02:32 We're gonna wait for the fish and chips and see what that's like.
02:35 Guys, this amazing looking fish and chips just came out within about five minutes
02:40 and it's really nice because they gave me a lemon wedge and every other spoons
02:45 I've been to and ordered this have never given a lemon wedge. I've had to ask
02:48 for it separately and even then they bring like the slices that you get in a
02:52 drink, not a wedge. And I'm sorry this is just a personal issue that I have but
02:59 I'm just really happy that they've given me an actual wedge of lemon with my fish
03:02 and chips. It's hot. I've just tried one of the chips and it is hot.
03:08 I'm gonna have a tartar sauce.
03:10 That nearly burned my mouth, it was so hot and delicious. I've been waiting here for about five minutes while I've been getting some more videos and it's still so fresh and hot and delicious.
03:29 Have a sip of beer with this.
03:31 I think I have the best job in the world.
03:36 No I don't agree with the guy. Why not?
03:38 Has he ever been in this place? Well he's had a character then hasn't he?
03:43 Until he comes in here and meets the people, and takes a little video round the table.
03:48 Until he meets them he enjoys his time.
03:50 What do you like about this pub?
03:52 I like the company, the staff, the cleanliness.
03:54 And you can pinch what you want out of salt and pepper.
03:57 Do you agree that this is the worst pub in the country?
04:00 No. And why not?
04:02 Because it's local, everyone gets in it, everyone knows everyone else.
04:06 What do you like about this pub?
04:07 Friendly. It's friendly isn't it? Yeah, very friendly.
04:10 The people have spoken. I visited the Clifton in Dudley and I have to give it a 10 out of 10.
04:15 There was nothing to fault apart from the odd sticky menu.
04:18 The food came out quick, the service was friendly, it was clean in there, it was tidy, the food was so hot as well.
04:24 And everyone was so nice.
04:26 The moral of the story is don't believe everything that you hear on TikTok and go and visit the Clifton in Dudley.
