I counted 8 staff members with only 1 serving at the bar. The person who appeared to be in charge was to busy talking to do any work. Completely ignored my efforts to attract her attention. When I complained I was told I was being unfair as the other staff were all busy which was a lie as I could see them around the back talking. Really, really awful service. It's a good job it's cheap.

Overall the experience was average for a wetherspoons. It was quite dirty, old and worn and the tables were sticky etc.The food (burgers) was cremated and not at all what we expected, wetherspoons is uniquely cheap and cheerful most of the time but this was just not it. They could do so much better.There is parking at the ice rink nearby or in the multi storey car park but neither are particularly close.If you are parking there to get food, there are so many better options for food in the shopping complex that will not disappoint.Vegetarian options: There were veggie and vegan meals available.Dietary restrictions: The menu is quite well labeled but could do with an update.Parking: There is parking at the ice rink near by or in the multi storey car park but neither are particularly close.Kid-friendliness: There were no kids, but kids are welcome and they have a kids menuWheelchair accessibility: Accessibility for wheelchairs is fine.

Great place to chill out and have a drink and a bite to eat. Staff are very friendly too, and prices are good.

Wheelchair accessibility: 2 Wheel chair accessibility doors and toilet all on the same level which is brilliant as main toilets are downstairs.

Went here to meet friends from Birmingham, and I had a couple of drinks with a meal , very disappointed with the menu first of all doesn't offer stake and the choices on there wasn't really what I wanted the chicken was rubbery and more bones than meat , the coleslaw was in a tiny pot, two fork full and it was gone , the whole meal was just about hot , the saving grace was the chocolate fudge cake and ice cream, our friend had 2 cups of coffee and it was horrible, and couldn't drink it had to clear our tables before sitting down at them and moved our own plates to one end of the table to make room , If your just going for a beer or glass of wine then yeah why not ,but if going for something to eat then don't bother there are plenty of better eateries in the city centreWheelchair accessibility: Not really disability friendly as to many tables and not enough room to get to tables near the main window facing on to the main road , disabled toilet was discussing,

Whetherspoons can not do curry, or indeed most dishes properly anymore. They used to be cheap and cheerful but now they are lower than cheap to the point of obvious rip-off. Soft poppadoms, mystery meat meant to be beef apparently. Total ripoff. What is telling is that the usually excellent mixed grill dishes haven't been on the menu for ages. One positive is the always excellent staff who are very well recruited and trained, so it is a shame they have to cart this slop around. Really gone down hill yet still have hiked prices. £13 for a small bowl of tinned can stuff you can buy from sainsbury's for less than £2. Come on guys this is taking the p***

Staff were really friendly, food came out quickly. Only reason I don't feel I can give 5 stars was because the water machine was out of order so I had to queue at the bar for some water. Most weatherspoons have a couple of water machines and glasses to self serve.

I had a good time with my work colleagues last Saturday, however I have a very good reason to believe that someone (even potentially one of the bartenders) spiked my friend's drink. Fortunately I was going the same direction home and guided my friend as far as I could safely. They started recovering consciously while we were taking a walk, however their body was still struggling to walk. My friend had only three glasses that day: two Jack Daniels and Coke and one Aperol Spritz.
