The Captain Alexander (JD Wetherspoon), Liverpool

ROB Camra left this review about The Captain Alexander (JD Wetherspoon)

Completely different experience to the previous reviewers in here. We called in on a Sunday afternoon to find a queue two deep at the bar and only two serving. Almost all the guest ale clips were turned around apart from a Phoenix Black Bee one which is a brewery local to me, so of little or no interest. After a few minutes wait, the queue was just the same so we left.

The following morning we called in for breakfast, what a mistake. We got served easily enough and ended up sitting near the open plan kitchen where we could watch one of the staff putting the food on the plates with his fingers despite having loads of suitable utensils to use. Our breakfasts arrived and the first thing I said to the server was "What the hell's that!" pointing to a lump of charcoal that had, maybe once, been a tomato. The egg was rock hard as well so I sent it back. Nothing wrong with Ms CAMRA's breakfast, so we ended up eating separately as it took a good ten minutes for my new breakfast to arrive. I knew it was nearly ready as I watched the same numpty in the kitchen put a fried egg on my plate with his fingers.

Congratulations are due for, despite having only just opened, managing to become the worst JDW in Liverpool by a street length.
