Went out in teir 3 Liverpool to Wetherspoon just before the lockdown, and wanted to order starters while we had our drinks and then place the order for our mains afterwards, after previously getting the starters and mains together when we had ordered them at the same time. But the staff there were refusing to let us do it. So we left and went to a pub around the corner where they were being cockwombles and that was acceptable.
