We went for a Teatime meal on a Saturday in October...some of the dishes were off menu due to some kitchen problem on their busiest day of the week...only one person serving behind the bar on a busy Saturday evening...had a steak which was tough and the chip portion size was disappointingly small...that evening they were not up to their usual better standard...

It was very typical of a Weather Spoon's pub. I was taken by a friend who really likes them. Value for money it was excellent but it's not the sort of pub I would use to take the family. The food was quite good for the price and the beer was fine and much cheaper than other places. They seemed short staffed and so there were a lot of dishes and empty glasses left lying around for quite a long time. If you don't mind that it was a great place to go for a meal and some drinks for a catch up with a good friend but didn't have the nicer ambience I would want for a visit with the family.

I don't rate Wetherspoon as a standard restaurant, but as an affordable reliable place to have, for UK, decent meal. Cleanliness in The Admiral Sir John Borlase has better standard than average Wetherspoons and it's less crowded and more civilised. Food is the same as elsewhere, but as a quick stop on the way to London it was good enough. AND! I like the canon aiming on the front door! It's really cool 😎

I am sure this is a one off and there has to be an exceptional circumstances but I'm going to write as I find. The service was absolutely shocking, the staff put the tables together for us as we were a family of 9, the mature lady we spoke to when we got there was polite and explained the waiting time was around 30-45 minutes, that was absolutely no issue. 7 of us ordered our food to begin with and 1 came out within 30 minutes, followed by the second plate 15 minutes later followed by third plate 5 minutes after and so on, the point being we all ate at different times, the first meal was finished before plate number 6 even came out. The food was dry as you can tell with the peas and jacket potato as well as the bacon. I was told that wetherspoons just warm food up and it is sent in already cooked is this correct? Anyway... The puddings! 7 had puddings 4 of them were cookie dough and ice cream and you guessed it, the first one came out followed 7 minutes later by the second one, when the last pudding came out the young server lent over a family member to give it to another family member. The atmosphere was good 👍🏼

Very spacious well presented and clean with a decent beer garden to the front. Although the food was a little disappointing (very salty and thin gammon) chips were average and eggs well you can’t go wrong with eggs but nothing to shout home about. The service and atmosphere were amazing with a great selection of beers on tap at decent prices. The Guinness shandy was perfectly served and the alcohol free Erdinger was a delight on the pallet. Overall worth a visit if you’re peckish and need to wet the pallet, I’d recommend a pint of craft ale with a burger and chips .

We were passing through Nottingham on our way to watch the mighty Nottinghamshire succumb to another inevitable defeat in the County cricket Championship. We never learn. The Admiral Sir John Borlase Warren, however, was our first port of call before the trauma commenced. We needed breakfast and we pitched the idea to a server who was bowled over by the request. Not at all stumped, he promptly delivered our order for two traditional breakfasts through to the kitchen. Not to be caught out, we swapped the fried eggs for poached, obviously. We had no desire to be out egg before cricket. Anyway, the food arrived, and it looked like an adequate presentation. A Wetherspoons breakfast in its purest form. Barely cooked bacon and lukewarm toast, standard stuff. A solitary porky sausage sits on the plate acting as a baked bean breakwater. And those microwaved beans had the customary skin perched on top of the serving, though mercifully, these needed no knife to cut through them. Retaining their fluidity, they nestled against the pig produce like an old friend. None shall pass. Two hash browns had been heated until reaching the texture of two biscuits awaiting a damn good tea dunking. And that poached eggs had a runny yolk and an only slightly less runny white. The meal was OK and it certainly set us up for the day. The actual pub was reasonably comfortable at 8:30 in the morning, before the rush. We would revisit the pub in the future. Just cook the egg for ten seconds longer next time.

I went against my better judgement and went for cheap drinks and food at the local spoons. Wish I hadn't bothered. We took the first available table as all the free ones had leftover plates on them ours included. Was with a fussy eater and tried for 10 minutes to get someone's attention to ask a question before ordering in case they couldn't change a menu item. Finally got their attention and she answered politely but didn't clear the table when asked. Went up to the bar and ordered with another polite staff member. After ordering I asked if she could get the table cleared she mumbled a yeah and walked off to serve the next person. When our food came out we had been sat at the table for almost an hour and still hadn't had anyone clear the table. We asked the food runner to clear the table as we had already asked two other people and he said it was our fault for sitting at a dirty table! To which I replied that it was the only option when we got here to which he went off in a huff. This pub is a "fancy" modern spoons, but won't be back. I'll take my money to the Beeston spoons which is traditional spoons offering - at least I know what I'm getting there and the staff are much more friendly. As someone who works in the local pub trade, it takes me a lot to leave a review online preferring to get the issue fixed there and then. This time however this failed on all levels. Tim Martin I think your staff need some basic customer service skills.

One of the better Wetherspoons locally, but still would prefer to support local independent pubs. That said, there is nothing fundamentally wrong with this place except that this place proves that spoons don't always deliver good value as there is a micropub opposite that has much better atmosphere and personalised service and it's only about 50p more for a pint in there.
