Typical spoons very busy good prices and food and service. Spacious pub.

Most of the bar staff ignore you when you come in, It takes an age to get someone's attention to get a beer. No welcome no smile or hello, With the group of friends that I came in with, all said the same about the staff there. It's never been so bad. The toilets were really dirty and smell, It's gone down hill This place needs a good manager to run it .

My husband and I popped in for something to eat and I can honestly say the food as well as the presentation was awful. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t expect the Ritz but I do expect decent pub grub. My husband had a burger with fries; there was no salad garnish as in previous visits. I had the quorn nugget curry which had been fried so long I couldn’t cut them with a knife. I had to snap them a bit at a time with my hands. We could have complained, but what is the point, we just won’t return.

Dirty tables, glasses not collect d the whole time we were there. Went for a mixed grill steak was like leather as well as the lamb., no we didn’t eat it sent it back to be told you can’t have your steak cooked how you want it, got a refund. I’m paying for it so I should be able to have it how I want it! First time back in since covid will not be returning.

6 months ago this place was OK, now, most of the staff don't bother to great you, don't care who came to the bar first and just generally don't care about anything. Tables are shocking, sticky, dirty, full of used glasses and plates, menus sticky. Have enjoyed meals here in the past but lack of cleanliness puts me off. Stinks of piss way before you get to the door to the toilets. Cheap beer, when you can get served, but will find another local

I recently had the profound displeasure of dining at a Wetherspoons restaurant with my mum, and I must say it was an unforgettable and utterly catastrophic experience. While the staff provided average service, the food, particularly the burgers, left us with a lingering sense of regret and even made my mum feel sick later.Let's address the elephant in the room: the abysmal excuse for a burger. It was truly the epitome of culinary failure. The patty itself was an insult to the concept of meat, devoid of any flavor or succulence. It was akin to chewing on a piece of flavorless cardboard, leaving me utterly dismayed. Even the most budget frozen burger from a supermarket would have been a gourmet masterpiece in comparison.To add insult to injury, the size of the burger was laughable. It was scarcely larger than a mere slider, leaving us both feeling deceived and famished. How Wetherspoons managed to transform a quintessential dish like a burger into such a pitiful portion is beyond comprehension. It was an outright disappointment.Now, let's delve into the taste—or lack thereof. The burger had a rubbery texture that was both unappetizing and inexplicably hard to swallow. Each bite was a grim reminder of the dire mistake we had made in choosing this establishment for our meal. The flavors were nonexistent, rendering the entire experience akin to chewing on tasteless gristle. It was an assault on our taste buds, and the repercussions lingered long after we left the premises.But wait, there's more. The burger came adorned with a slice of cheese that appeared to have been carelessly slapped onto the patty. Not only was it cold and unappetizingly unmelted, but it lacked any essence of flavor whatsoever. It seemed as though someone had taken a lifeless, factory-made cheese slice straight from the refrigerator and casually placed it atop the insipid patty. It was an egregious offense to the notion of a proper cheeseburger.Regrettably, the aftermath of our dining experience was far from pleasant. Later that evening, my poor mum fell ill, experiencing discomfort and uneasiness. While we cannot say with absolute certainty that the burger was the sole culprit, it was undeniable that the entire meal left an adverse impact on her well-being. This added an extra layer of distress to an already disheartening experience.In conclusion, I implore anyone contemplating a visit to Wetherspoons to steer clear of their burgers. They were unequivocally the worst burgers we have ever encountered, both in terms of taste and portion size. Save yourself the disappointment, and perhaps even potential health issues, by seeking out a more competent establishment that takes pride in serving appetizing and satisfying meals.

Staff have no clue who to serve next. Majority of table full of dirty glasses and no rush to clear. Was in for a few hours and not one table wiped down! Dirtiest Spoons I've ever been in . Cheap tho !!

Mid afternoon, fairly busy. Good service and an excellent pint of real ale at the usual low price. A good few clean tables to sit at and not noisy.

The staff really are shocking at this place. The young lad with black curly hair has zero customer service. He never greets customer, he just looks at you like you are an inconvenience. He even stood in front of me and asked me if anyone else was serving as he didn't seem to want to serve. He looks so unhappy in his job. The larger lady is brash and scary. The lad with longer hair is friendly enough but a week ago he said he didn't know what Jim beam was, really?!The girl waiting on tables seems friendly but I never eat here.The tables are never cleaned, even when they aren't busy. The chairs are always filthy.I only go here as it is cheap.Up your game wetherspoons!

Absolutely terrible food. Parents went for their weekly lunch. Service was poor. Waited ages for their food. When the food arrived the fish batter was dark brown and cold. Peas were dried out and hard and so were the chips. General cleanliness of tables were awful. The table next to my parents was full of breakfast pots not cleared away. So disappointed with he whole experience.

I love curries. The hotter the better AND pouring the sauce over chips. So when both the curry, sauce and chips are PERFECT, it only makes you love Wetherspoon's food.Excellent value. Great vibey atmosphere!

Lyndsey Waring

They have increased the price of the food but decreased the portions. My partner ordered the hellumi burger, which she said was lovely, but the plate looked sparse as there were hardly any chips with it.My friend ordered a normal burger which looked baron and again hardly any chips.The bar tendors need to watch who is coming to the bar to serve people in the correct order.The staff are lovely though.
