Oh dear. £8 for a double burger and a handful of chips, £11 for my triple burger. very small portions. Bacon was just slices of thin fat, no meat. I gave my partner my onion rings as she had very little on her plate. At the drinks machine the staff were loud in slagging off customers, using lots of f*cks and d*ckheads. Glad I didn't have my kids with me. It was freezing as heat wasn't working. Not their fault but could have put a notice on the door. Awful

We have been to Wetherspoon all over the country and always enjoyed good value for money food and drinks. Today I had the worst eating experience I have ever had anywhere! I ordered Turkey,bacon and stuffing panini off the Christmas menu. I bit into it,stone cold,the turkey was so hard and had a funny texture. I couldn't even cut it with a knife and fork. I went to speak to the lady who bought it to us. She too tried to cut it,said it was unacceptable and gave me a refund. My grandaughter had the same with chips. She ate a little of the chicken but left the rest. I was worried it would make her ill. Just awful.

A good Wetherspoons with a broad selection of food and drinks, most of which are pretty good value for money. Staff are generally friendly and helpful. Like most 'Spoons, the clientele is very broad! Certainly a few interesting characters lol. My only small gripe is that the place is very dated inside and is desperately in need of a refurb. That aside, all good!

Fairly typical spoons. Nice large pub with a few different areas to sit in and outdoor seating at the back.

Food was fine - in fact, it was actually cooked better than some other Spoons we have been to. But the place itself was awful. We sat down in between two tables, both with dirty plates on. We placed an order via the app. 20 minutes later, still no drinks. Both tables still dirty. We were about to go up and ask, but then our drinks arrived. The girl who brought them over didn't bother to clear any dirty tables on the way out. She also didn't seem bothered that one of us had ordered a coffee, and the coffee machines weren't working. A good 15 or 20 minutes after that, our food arrived. When the guy brought our food, he cleared one of the nearby tables of dishes and glasses. But no one came and wiped or cleaned it whilst we were eating. Get your *stuff* together. We sat next to dirty tables for nearly an hour. You were not busy. You had three members of staff on front of house. Your staff should not be behind the bar chatting, they should be out walking the floor and clearing tables. It was PAINFUL literally staring at a waitress gormlessly tapping a flickering advertisement screen behind the bar for 20 minutes, rather than getting us an empty coffee cup (for the broken machine...) and a Pepsi.

It us fine if it a casual pub visit. No reservations available hence difficult to organise a group visit.Except for one staff with braids, everyone goes above and beyond to give great service. This staff with braids was so unfriendly in her tone and had a straight face. Made us feel unwelcome.Parking: There is a set of parking bays across the pub but is always full. You can pull up on side roads but is difficult to find spots during day time.Kid-friendliness: The place allows kids till 9 p.m, if their orders are placed before 8.30pm

Very friendly staff and a nice pub but the choice of real ales compared to other Spoons is very poor. Generally only a couple of guest ales and lacking in variety from goldens to stouts. Go to Chesterfield or Ripley instead for a much better selection.

Perfectly serviceable 'spoons, occasionally plagued with system malfunctions and otherwise avoidable problems. No fault of the staff, I'm sure, but my most recent order took 25 minutes (food) and 30 minutes (drink).Quality is as expected, but those letting their children run free outside should probably exercise a little more guardianship.Vegetarian options: The veggie options in 'Spoons are generally fine, with highlights being the breakfast and the curries.

Really nice and pleasant bar staff, I was quickly served with a smile and made to feel important, our food was cooked properly and was very nice. Yes, I would recommend the Wagon and Horses.

Dan Ward

Ordered food and drink on the app. Food came but no drinks. Asked at bar and they assumed our order was fulfilled and left it. Pizza was amazing and love the atmosphere but slightly annoyed at the service.

I only occasionally visit this pub with a friend after we've had a good walk. It's a great pub atmosphere very nice, they do a very good selection of beers. I've never had food here , but it's very popular with the locals & they do look good meals. The only thing I don't like is the high chairs & tables I like my feet on the floor & you can sit back more comfortably. The prices are very reasonable. It's well worth a visit.

Called in for a quickie with gwyneth after the expo scooter show. Had a lovely pint of San Miguel. Would pop in again. Thanks, Sedge and gwyneth, true brits scooter club,Wolves ???????

The beer was good and cheap but getting served is a task on its own. I was the only one at the bar and it still took 4 to 5 mins to get served. They must lose custom due to this.
