It’s a Wetherspoons: can you review the raw natural power or an earthquake or the new moon?

Really like this place. Service was quite fast, did not take too long after ordering. Also, the prices wasn't crazy. Overall I like the place and would recommed it to someone that hasn't visited yet.

Odious characters in aplomb - both inside and out.Brother for threatened by a flat earther. I got s3xually-harassed.Staff are fine but overworked and underpaid. Plus, the owner Tim Martin is a certified reprobate. Badness begets badness.

The food is average, not very tasty. Their coffee is deeply inconsistent - I came here three days ago and had the best coffee/hot chocolate a machine has ever made. Tried it again today and nearly cried - it was so watery it was almost transparent. It gets really noisy in the evenings so if you're not a fan of that I'd recommend coming earlier in the day. Nice drinks selection. Overall it's a gamble - it has its good days and its bad ones. Staff are always really kind and helpful.

Pathetic grilling of halloumi cheese.

The Breakfast be it Large English or Vegetarian is always disappointing. Not value for money, and the Beans are a shady portion (1 tablespoon) 1 little half cut tomatoe not cooked. It's a very dry meal and they expect you to pay extra if you complain?? You will need to use lots of sauce to moisten your food to swallow it and get very thirsty after. Vegetarian are sausages very dry not tasty. Chopped tomatoes and a decent amount of beans with the Breakfast will make a difference to the plate. 1 small half button mushroom served also not acceptable. You're buying a large Brekkie and they're giving you small. Other items on the menu "alright" but expect most items as heated from frozen or microwaved such as the mash. Most so called in house caterers and restaurants are just cooking from frozen it's no longer appetising.I never bother with the desserts, only a very small portion. People want value for their money feeling satisfied otherwise you feel ripped off.Seats always manky as if never been cleaned, need a good clean, and the above chandeliers always dusty in these regional places.What can be said is staff are polite and professional at all times, but need to be flexible when a customer isn't impressed with order at their own discretion.Kind regardsVegetarian options: Vegan Sausages ain't nice, very dry tasting and salty. Mean portions of veg and beans.

Came in for the pub quiz on Monday night as a regular for some light hearted fun with our friends. At the end the quiz master, Tim, announced that the winning team name was "Manchester university pro life society". Claiming that as he wasn't from Manchester he knew nothing about what it was and explained the team working behind the bar chose the name. In no way is this ever acceptable, funny or appropriate, especially after what's currently going on in the world regarding abortion it's insensitive and Tim and the staff need to take responsibility for their actions.

Used to be my local ,don't get there so often these days. Nice beer by 7 Brothers Throw away IPA. Treat for my daughter she loves the chicken wings. We got our wings and were supposed to be 8 each but we only got 5 each which was a bit odd. Great FOH resolved the issue. Cookies dough sandwich to follow , takes calories to another level. Efficient ordering on the app as ever. Will be back.

Love the breakfast deal. Absolute steal, my vegetarian breakfast set came in enormous portion and for less than £4 without sacrificing the quality too. It was served warm. You order and pay online on their app and they'll bring your food to the table. Very convenient and the service was fast.Update March 2024: Breakfast deal is £4.99

Average spoons

Staff were rude to my friends, and refused to serve them because they had (non-alcoholic) drinks in a Tesco bag to drink later. Staff insisted that the drinks were alcoholic and that they couldn't bring them in.
