We had lunch here and it is your average Wetherspoons. We ordered food and service at the bar was friendly and efficient. The food arrived quickly and the server asked if we wanted any sauces. The food is nothing to write home about but it is totally fine given the price point. Both were tasty, the batter crispy and the chips were fine. We had fish and chip and a scampi and chips. The menu seems more limited than at other Wetherspoons I have visited but there should be something for most people.

Awful food very few chips with fish got 9 chips, fish was also very small and I did not order the small one price increase does not mean less food.

I had a few where I could see into the kitchen and half the food was going into the microwave which I didn’t know about Wetherspoons before. Makes me wonder how the chips are done because they aren’t really enjoyable half the time. Could tell my cookie dough was definitely done in the microwave.

Spotted this bar/restaurant on the way to a day out for our daughter's birthday and decided to go for breakfast. It was very busy - half term, maybe - but we managed to find a table. Good varied menu and the food ordered at the bar came quickly and was tasty. Free refills of hot drinks is a bonus too. Efficient staff and clean tables, nothing wrong at all.

1 of the hottest days of the year and a member of staff came over to tell me, a grown man with my own mind that I'm not allowed to be topless OUTSIDE. It's a free country I'm outside and I'll do what I like.. I'm disgusted that they think they have the authority or a right to tell me what I can and can't wear OUTDOORS! Will not be using this place again. They don't deserve custom when they think they can talk to you like crap and treat you like a child. Will be taking my custom where its appreciated in future topless or not.

I am very upset when I turned up at the door of the Abraham Darby I asked if there was tables available I was then told yes by one of the security guards who then looked me up and down and said I wasn’t allowed in due to the fact I had jogging bottoms on I feel discriminated against because others was allowed in due to different dress codes I don’t think this is fair because when I looked inside others were in there with jogging bottoms on I will not be returning back to the place after how I have been treated.

The only positive I have is the waitress who seated us was lovely. The rest both breakfasts were cold. The cutlery was dirty under the tables not clean. The spider seemed to like it though. Also the manager dumped our cups on the table with a gruff help yourself. Will not be visiting again especially in the current climate.

What would have been a pleasant Thursday night was spoilt by the "security guard" insisting that we had to be out by 10.00 pm. Three times he reminded us from 9.40, "drink up please" "on your way" - fair enough it is the law and he has a job to do but on his "final insistence" it was only 9.50pm, we left and I was home by 10.00pm. You have to download their App and then go through the rigmarole of ordering your food & drink and payment. What could possibly go wrong? I am not a fan of this Wetherspoon and can't see me going here again thinking my local /independents are more worthy of support.

My partner and I, popped in here earlier today for a quick drink, but decided to grab some lunch too. We only ordered a panni with chips each, but unfortunately mine was rather disappointing. I ordered a cheese and tomato panni. Firstly mine wasn't hot, and secondly, it somewhat lacked tomato. I had two chunks in each. The tomato hadn't even been sliced!! . They had clearly cut a tomato into 4 quarters instead of slicing it. No effort had been put into it, I don't know why they bothered. It wasnt great to be honest. It's a shame because the staff are so lovely, welcoming and polite but unfortunately the food hasnt improved which is disappointing. :(

OK so now this pub is adhering to the social distancing and government guidelines, this is brilliant. However, on my latest visit, I am a bit confused. The lady who served us at the bar was wonderful, I do not know her name but her customer service skills were really on point. However, the lady wearing a badge saying "team leader" who brought us our food out was nothing short of rude and unpleasant. She did not tell us what the food was, she simply dropped all the food on the table and we had to walk round and get it. What is this all about? Is this Covid training? I thought people would be trained to at least say basic manners - 'please' and 'thank you'. Anyway, as something was missing of our order, I was looking out for a staff member, but there was none to be seen apart from those working hard on the bar. After about 10 minutes, a flock of staff had arrived out of no where, I went near one lady who simply smelt of cigarettes, which then explained to me where they had been. Disgusting! However, despite this, she did resolve the issue and apologised.

Popped in for lunch whilst shopping in the centre with my daughter. Lovely lady allocated us a table number on entry and asked us to use hand sanitiser. Ordered food from the app which was very easy. Drinks were bought over in cans. I had to ask for a glass which was fine. Staff pleasant, food lovely. Screens separating us from other diners. Such a shame that tables were not being sanitised when vacated. A lady who was meant to be cleaning the tables had a spray bottle but another member of staff who was also doing the tables did not. She gave the tables a quick wipe with the same cloth no sanitiser. This has put me off returning. I would like to see tables and seating sanitised properly as this is going to put people off going. Such a shame as everything else was good but the most important thing didn't get done.

7 minutes agoFirst time out after lock down , very well organised as in social distancing and shown to a table , screens up at the tills , spots on the floor two meters apart at the bar ,all very good until the couple on the next table left , the glasses were cleared away and another couple sat down. No sanitisation of table what so ever , then they left and a member of staff sprayed the minutest bit of sanitizer .. ? on the table and flicked a cloth over it , no contact time what so ever . The tables are the most likeliest place to pick up COVID where people have had hands on and eaten off . Needless to say we won’t be going back to a wetherspoons.

I don't like to leave unsatisfactory reviews but this could not be left unsaid. My wife and I simply popped in for a quick lunch accompanied by a drink or two. The service was atrocious. I waited at the bar for at least 5 minutes and I did not complain nor treat the member of staff poorly in any way, the young lady spoke to me absolutely disgustingly, she even began serving someone else having not completed my order and ignored me when I kindly informed her she'd given me the wrong amount of change. The floor itself was very unappealing, I understand this line of work can be very demanding but the majority of the tables were unwiped and clustered with dirty plates. The food, when it finally arrived may I add, was undercooked and upon trying to speak to a waiter to have my steak reheated, he made eye contact with my but continued to walk away as if he didn't hear me. I'd like to add that both our food and drinks were left behind as we decided to leave and drink elsewhere. A disappointing example for Wetherspoon.

Having visited at least 43 other Wetherspoons (at least two have closed since), I needed to pop in here to complete the brand's representation in the West Midlands.Not an ideally located one for me, ie, adjacent to a shopping centre (as is The Arthur Robertson, Perry Barr), but there is a large outdoor space with a nice selection of plants that would be more enticing during warmer spells.Busy inside, with lots of families and a TV screen showing younger viewers programmes, definitely suited for families. Some interesting descriptions of the local history on the walls and smart bathroom up the stairs.Bar service was a bit slow due to the staff multitasking with what looked like a skeleton crew. No smiles behind the bar, unsurprising really as they looked tired.If I had shares in this brand, I would ask the board to pop in and have a look for themselves how this pub could quite possibly increase takings in the run up to Christmas with an extra couple of staff, just saying.

Popped in here for breakfast on a Monday morning. It was quite early and the place was very quiet. Ordered porridge with blueberries and brown sugar, and an orange juice. The server told me I was literally the only person in there when she brought my porridge over, but I realised as I started eating it that there was no brown sugar in it, and therefore no sweetness unless you had a blueberry to bite into. In itself, not a huge issue, but how can such a simple mistake be made on such a basic dish, when the place was dead ?!

We had the misfortune to choose this place for a pre-shopping breakfast. My English breakfast was barely warm enough to eat. My wife ordered a simple beans on toast which was inedible. The beans had been microwaved within an inch of their life! The toast was mushy, so had probably been microwaved as well. The staff never returned to check if the food was ok. I wonder why? We had lost the will so didn’t bother going back to the bar to report it. Certainly won’t be eating there again. Disgusting!!

I will often pop into a Weatherspoon while visiting or shopping in cities all over the UK. I find them convenient and reasonably priced. Lately, though, service in some of the pubs is not up to what you would expect. The staff seem to be hand-picked for their lack of experience and enthusiasm. Often I feel like I'm interrupting their conversations with each other. This happened to me here on Tuesday. Firstly, I had to stand in a queue (what is that all about). The queue was long because only one person was serving. A member of staff joined in to help by the time I got to the bar and had to interrupt him twice from his conversation to remind him he was serving me. When I swiped my card I was left standing there wondering if the transaction was finished because he went straight back into his conversation and didn't even offer me my receipt or even a thank you. Either he didn't put my food order through correctly of the kitchen staff got it wrong but my wifes' meal was completely wrong. We were told it will take two minutes to replace it. It took twelve. This will be my last visit here. While I'm here, can Wetherspoons do something about this idiotic queueing system? The staff should be paying attention enough to know who is next to be served.

Went in for meal and drink before going to cinema. The bar staff were rude and ignorant, whilst serving,they were talking to other members of staff. Our food order was wrong, which resulted in me and my husband having our meals at a different time due to mine having to be replaced. The "queue" system is unnecessary, trained bar staff would know who is next to be served. Would not go there again. Would also add that the no smoking section outside is a farce and not enforced. If you sit at the window tables or near the doors the smoking from outside wafts into the pub.

Located just on the side of Merry Hill shopping centre, The Abraham Darby is a great pub with a fantastic interior and nice outside seating space, if you want a break from the bustle of shopping this is a great place to relax.

Visited here after a busy day shopping. I should be clear I hate it here as it is always dirty, lots of glasses left on tables and the tables never see a wipe down. However my 6 year old wanted a pudding and I needed a drink. Rdered 2 puddings for a fiver using the app. The food came out and when my son was eating I noticed a very large piece of grey plastic in the ice cream. I quickly gave it to the server and she just said 'oh'. I'm not sure she knew what day of the week it was!

Went it this pub after shopping thought we would have a drink and a bit to eat the service at the bar was ok and friendly. We ordered food which didnt take very long to come when it did arrive the chicken tikka bites was still frozen called the waitress over who brought the food over and told her to feel the frozen food and abruptly refeused to feel how cold it was she took it back and was brought back out very hot could tell it had been microwaved to hot that it was done to prove a point disgusted by the attitude and service from the waitress as she never apologised for the cold food we was sitting on table 60.

I visited today. Ordered via the app it took over 10 minutes before they came to say no lamb which was ordered the chicken when it did come was over cooked and dry had to ask roe a refund as the second choice of food instead of the lamb was cheaper wasn't offered a refund just a pudding . The drinks ordered didn't arrive till after the food had been brought to the table. Won't be visiting again

First of all some family sat by us that actually stank of urine which wasn’t the places fault so we moved seats. I ordered buttermilk chicken burger and my partner had lamb shank . The food was awful and I found a hair in one of the onion rings actually sticking out of it made me feel sick couldn’t even be bothered to take back as cues were to big and being pregnant had to get out of there I felt that sick . Also the staff members were calling out the table numbers when bringing out food instead of knowing where the tables actually were as loud as they possibly could . The place looks great from the outside but the service and the hair in the food let it down massively

Decided to take the wife for breakfast .. What a mistake that was ... watched 4 other people have the wrong order bought out to them and when ours come out guess what .... it was also wrong .... eventually the correct order arrived but that followed by me carrying it back to the kitchen as everything was COLD and the eggs bounced off the plate like rubber .......I demanded my money back and walked out in disgust have been told by others after that the service and food is poor ... now I can understand what they say .. avoid at all costs for a major food chain this one let's it down

Salad and coffee for £7 can't be bad! Very friendly service and usual Wetherspoons menu but you know what to expect for the price paid. Great value for money and not bad surroundings . Food quickly delivered too after ordering ...would go there again if at the Shopping Mall.

We went in at 1:30 today and decided on the 3 for £10 menu-I went to order and noticed the table had no number-it had been levered out-I ordered but was told that i could not order without a number-thats your responsibility I said-we'll have to use the adjacent table number she said-Ok i'll look out for the food i said- After 2:00 I went to ask about the food-the server went to check and came back to say that the meal had gone out and someone had taken it!She said that the kitchen was chaos as there was not enough as anyone who left had not been replaced! I was given a refund(only for the food-not the lemonade!) Unfortunatley this a nothing new at this pub!

Visited here as a treat for my children. Ordered via the app so didn't have to leave children unattended. Kids meal prices have increased yet decreased in size. How is this right? Mixed grill well the meat was burnt and could be tasted yet staff didn't care. BBQ chicken melt meal well chicken was dry, bacon both undercooked and fatty. Cheese is meant to be melted but a cheap cheese slice was thrown on and little bbq sauce. Staff demanded us to move mid meal as they had a large group come in. Not great when an autistic child likes routine and that particular table. When asking for a manager to complain about the food and service, well he or she never bothered to see to their customers just told the server to give one complimentary drink when there were faults with all 4 meals. Only good thing was being able to use the app to pay. Wouldn't recommend this place its gone downhill in a big way.Whatever happened to looking after the customers especially when hardly any food was eaten and ended up in McDonald's afterwards and alot of wasted money.

Visited this Wetherspoons for the first time this evening. Sorry to say it was not a good experience. To order you had to stand in a line and wait to be called to the bar. This was even more strange as the bar is actually quite long. There was no atmosphere in the place we ordered food and it arrived to our table via a server calling out our table number. The plates were cold to the touch and the food was also cold on the plates. No members of staff asked if we had enjoyed our food. I have to say on Sunday I had a meal in the Wetherspoons in Halesowen and it was so much better than this. So I would recommend that you give the Abraham Darby a miss and go to another Wetherspoons pub locally and I can recommend the William Shenston in Halesowen for its food and service.

We went to the wetherspoons expecting to be just decent food but nothing special, like the one we have near our home. When we got there we were surprised by the gorgeous outside area and the really friendly staff. Once we had ordered our food arrived quickly I had the BBQ chicken, bacon and cheese panini with chips and my partner had five bean chilli. The food was really nice and I couldn't fault anything. The chips though were absolutely gorgeous there were nice and crunchy on the outside but fluffy and soft on the inside. I will definitely be returning next time we visit merryhill.

I'm disgusted , angry , asked to speak to the manager, told he's too busy , shame ..... shame on you. That's NOT what I expect from a national chain , it put me off my food. All I was thinking of was the state of that toilet. Just look very closely at the first photo #disgusting

Tucked away far from the food court this is a first class Wetherspoons,Nice interior and a large outdoor seating area.Usual JDW menu, friendly and attentive staff, far better value and atmosphere than a visit to the food court.

Absolutely ridiculous experience at Wetherspoons this morning... the Vegan Breakfast menu has no prices associated with it. The Manager didn't even know the difference between Vegetarian and Vegan, the server added a poached egg to my order even though I spent time educating them about what is and isn't Vegan.Instead of the smashed Avo bagel I got salmon and cream cheese. And no hash brows beans tomato and mushroom. Their till system is a mess. The Vegan Menu was nowhere to be seen untill someone retrieved it from the hiding place. Got correct food eventually although not hot, with a full refund after I stated more than once how woefully inadequate the service was. I would like to hear from the area Manager. Tried to call Customer Services which is non-existent.

We love going to any wetherspoons and always enjoy the food which again was very good last night, I had the chilli con carne and my husband had the three chicken feast which was very good well presented and came quickly, but one complaint we sat in the no smoking area, but sad to say there was one person close to us who was smoking, there are clear signs but he chose to ignore them, and even when the waitress cleared his table nothing was said to him even though the cigarette was clearly visible.

What a disappointment. Haven't been for a while and it's changed. Used to be the place to go for reasonably priced good food.Whilst it's still not bad I was underwhelmed by the New York Deli burger (my wife had the Empire State and was equally underwhelmed).However what has disappointed us the most was the app and how it works.In theory you order on the app and the food and drink arrive.What actually happened was we ordered and waited (timescale wasn't too bad) then the food arrived but no drinks.The server (who was lovely) returned stating there was a queue.At this point I pointed out the food was wrong I'd ordered an upgrade of 2 burgers on one bun.He took the plate away and swiftly returned with two burgers, so it must have just been rapidly slapped on (I'm not sure if there's a different on how it's put together if 2 burgers)My wife went in search of condiments as none were on the table or offered.I was asked if there was anything else we wanted and obviously replied our drinks please.After a while a second equally lovely server turned up with our drinks.My wife drinks coke with no ice or lemon (there's no comments field in the app firbthis sort of thing)There also are more ales on sale than it shows in the app.I asked for the feedback to be given to the manager and kind of expected some sort of conversation, clearly doesn't matter.My overall feedback was the food was alright but nothing special for almost £20 but don't use the app. Seriously.

Went in to celebrate a family birthday and the service was utterly appalling. Waitstaff were young, seriously untrained, and more concerned with their social lives than the actual serving of tables.
