Absolutely fantastic experience at the Red Admiral in Trowbridge. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful to accommodate our party of nine. it was a fantastic Easter, get together for three generations of Family and we are ate to complete satiation. Thank you, Red Admiral we will be back.

Food wasn't fresh !

Hunters Chicken was overcooked & meat very dry. Good chips.
Jeffrey Law
The staff were friendly, the food was good and didn't take long to be served, considering there were six of us and we had 30% off voucher; what's not to like? Great.
Kris
Good food, cool atmosphere. Could use a bigger selection of craft beers. Muala.

When we arrived and were shown to our table we realised that we had not been given the highchairs we requested so had to find some ourselves. Took 30 minutes just to get drinks at the bar. As we had a large party we put in a pre-order but they told us after 45 minutes that one of the children's meals was unavailable. We then waited another 45 minutes to receive our starters. One of them was missing and they tried to tell us we didn't order it. Luckily we kept a copy of the order. We then asked to see the rest of the order they had put in and discovered that other meals were also missing. We also queried as meals were not marked as gluten free and they assured us they had been put through as gluten free. 20 minutes after this the missing starter arrived. We asked the server at this point to check where the mains were as we had 7 children with us (2 under 2) who at this point had eaten nothing. They came back and said it would be a 10 minute wait. 25 minutes later the mains finally started to come out. We had only ordered a gluten free sausage and mash but when it came out it wasn't gluten free. We complained and they said they would change it immediately. After 15 minutes of them gradually serving mains to the table, we realised that another of the children's meals was missing. We queried this again and they said they would sort it. We waited a further 20 minutes for the child's main and the gluten free sausage and mash (which was also for child). The server then came back and started grabbing plates off the table before half of us had finished eating. The desserts were then rushed out to us whilst staff were clearing and stacking tables around us, clearly wanting us to hurry up with our food. When we want to pay, the manager told us she would remove the sausage and mash and the children's meal from the bill as we had waited so long but they hadn't been removed so we had to ask again for them to be taken off. We also complained about the wait, and missing food and got an excuse about them having lots of big tables booked in. They said they would give us 30% off of our main meals as compensation but this was an offer which was running today anyway so we actually received no compensationKid-friendliness: Not kid friendly. Shockingly slow service for kids. 2 meals missing and had to wait an extra 20 minutes to get their food after already waiting over 2 hours

Chefs can't follow food orders nor can they cook twice replaced my meal and still wasn't happy peppercorn sauce was lumpy and sticky steak wasn't cooked to how I wanted chips was over cooked and filled with fat and super crunchy with no fillings inside the chips . Manger was superb and gave me a refund she was also

Lovely staff especially Nick I'm sure that was his name. Went above and beyond with his customer serviceKid-friendliness: My little boy kicked our starter off the table and it fell on the floor, while we was trying to get him in the hi chair and they replaced it with bo charge

Friendly barman on arrival, good service throughout our visit. The beer was well kept, clear fresh and very quaffable.Hic.

Despite being extremely busy, we were served at the bar very quickly. We then chose our food then ordered again at the bar, again very quickly. Also had 30% discount which we very much appreciated. Both bar staff and waiting staff were efficient and friendly. The food was delivered quite quickly and was very good and not expensive so we were all very happy. Thanks for a very positive experience and we will definitely visit again.

For a place where you need to order at the bar, having only one person serving drink and taking orders probably wasn't the best idea.The tables were poorly set up with many people having to search for a salt shaker that actually had salt in it.The menus for the roast dinners were left on the tables only to be told there are no roast dinners left.There was no cutlery and none was brought with the food so we had to go and ask for them.The food itself was great but the service let it down.

If you want to lose weight, have dinner at the Red Admiral, Trowbridge. They place you on a handy fasting regime where you get to wait an hour before even seeing your food. Then, you get the luxury of sending half of it back as it’s not what you asked for and wait another 15 minutes before finally digging in (and no amount of salt and pepper could save the bland Mac and Cheese). Honestly, I’ve never looked so thin!Whilst my partner did not get to extend his fasting programme, his food was lukewarm at best, dry and tasteless - classic indicators of food being left under heat lamps. I wonder what the staff were doing instead of bringing the food out to us if it was ready? Definitely not manning the bar anyway or hosting customers - we had to wait 10 minutes to speak to someone to confirm which table it was that we had booked, as the reservation slips had not been filled out on any of the saved tables.TLDR; 1 hr 15 mins to eat Wetherspoons quality food.
