Cornfield Garage in Eastbourne

Very poor service at bar waited about ten minutes to be served when bar staff did come to serve me he walked of again to do the app and plus they didn't watch who was next very nice bounce on door and plenty

Everyone knows what to expect with a Wetherspoons pub! Cheap and fairly good beer, Cheap and fairly awful food, Cheap and badly trained staff. Cornfield Garage is no different But seriously £2.50 for a half pint of diet coke, when a pint of lager is £2.99? Wish I had gone to the co-op next door and sat and drunk out of the can at the bus-stop

My Girlfriend Sue a mature woman hadn't ever been to a Wetherspoons , or Launderette, So being in the holiday mood after traveling 251 miles . Had looked up the reviews Cornfield Garage , Hooray she loved the meal bought me pint of Guinness Sue had pint of Stella . Cheers me dears

What is it and lacking basic customer service? With a maximum of four people waiting to be served at the bar, you would think the bar staff would have the very basic.. 'Very Basic' customer service skill to be aware of who is next to be served. Instead you end up nearly arguing with other customers. It's not.. good.. enough. Seriously.. what does it take to use your brain to be aware of customers. When its friday/Saturday night I would understand more.. or week end lunch time, but not first thing in the morning when theres a maximum of four people at the bar. The food and drink maybe cheap.. but doesnt mean the customer service has to be! It happens on a regular basis.. and it really needs to be addressed. Other than that.. the vast majority are pro-active.. friendly.. and management always on the ball being pro active which is rare in most places. Respect to the majority of the staff 100%

Bar staff don't give a toss who jumps the queue to get served, they will serve anyone in any order.Possibly the worst Wetherspoon pub I have had the misfortune to visit, The nearby London & Country Wetherspoon pub is far better with better staff.

I would recommend this Wetherspoons to anyone who asks. 1st class experience from the staff to the food. The choice of drinks was as expected excellent.

Quite a poor wetherspoons. Don't have a lot of the regular ale you would expect, and they don't bother indicating that they are out.

Was visiting Eastbourne for the weekend and my partner and I wanted a full English to keep us going for the busy day ahead. We arrived at 11.50am to see it was VERY busy, but we managed to get a booth table and quickly set about ordering via the app before the 12pm breakfast cutoff time! Our order went through at 11.59 and it arrived at our table within 20 minutes, which considering how busy they were I was impressed with. I was also very impressed with the price, I had a large breakfast for only £6.59 and free refill coffee for an extra £1.59. That is VERY good value. It was all cooked great, did the job, set us up for the day and was such a great deal that we came back the next day for another one!

Dirty un cleaned tables .. condiments nearly all empty .. bar staff clearly can’t cope serving on a Saturday afternoon and early evening.. don’t get me started on the ladies toilets either as sanitary bins well and truely over flowing .. no loo rolls .. we complain and was told oh we are under staffed .. bar didn’t have vodkas or wines or some beers .. wwe were told our manager didn’t place the order .. totally disappointed and won’t be returning again to this un pleasant so called pub

It is 5 star not because it is exceptional food or atmosphere but because it is just all-around value for money. Quick, friendly, and helpful staff.

You won’t find any worse service or food around, awful

A nice pint of ruddles, followed by a latte......nice

It is what it is a spoons. I had a burger, it wasn't the best but it was good enough and the beer wasn't bad

Ordered a small breakfast and a Vegan breakfast , when arrived a large breakfast and small breakfast came , then waited a further 2o mins for breakfast 🤨, and to top it off they charged us for the large and small which was more expensive, and asked for management and never came over to apologise! Even though thr young man got it wrong when Ordered he was all on his own and no-one came to help him

Good service, quicker if you pay on the app. There's the normal great Wetherspoons menu with has something for everyone.

We didn't order food as service is so bad for drinks , miserable staff we decided to eat else where ,as not many people eating says a lot 🤟

Spoons is Spoons, big pub with a large garden and plenty of seats inside and out. Beers is cheap and the food is reasonably priced, but you know what you're getting. Food was served quickly and was hot n tasty. 5 of us all cleared our plates, so it wasn't that bad and we all had different meals. Mixed grill, BBQ smothered chicken, Spicy chicken strips in a basket, ham egg and chips and a vegetarian curry.

Very reasonable price food. Very prompt service with food to table. I liked my food and my friend's food was of good quality. It was a good atmosphere, busy and obviously popular.

Attitude.. the Female staff have an attitude problem, and it stinks. If they have any hope of gaining employment in the big wide world after Uni then I suggest they drop it. Sharpish..

Great to have toilets downstairs.

Visited a few times during the air show. Staff really good and service excellent. Food as expected from this chain, the added touch of all food bought in a great time and served hot.

Weathspoons pubs always good value and a pint too. Fish and chips smaller than usual but certainly enough for me Washed down with a pint

A very friendly pub and service was excellent as it was extremely busy, being the airshow weekend. Didn't think it was necessary though for staff to be throwing empty glass bottles into the bins rather than placing them in the bins for recycling. Made me jump more than once. Totally uncalled for.

Payment on the app no longer works (used to be simple with Google Pay). This seems to lead to really long (and unnecessary) queues at the bar, and the staff are overwhelmed.

To bright inside, table a little bit sticky but overall lovely, and delicious drinks

I was visiting Eastbourne for the first time, although this was not my first Wetherspoons meal...indeed this was my 200th different pub in the chain I had visited. For a landmark visit the pub itself was distinctively average and the food was disappointing. I ordered the sirloin steak with side salad and peppercorn sauce. The steak looked fine but was rather tough and not tender, and the sauce, whilst tasting fine, was completely void of any peppercorns and was more like a peppery gravy than a true peppercorn sauce. The pint of Leffe redeemed the meal and made it overall reasonable value. Service was relatively speedy and functional, nobody came to check if the food was okay etc. Overall it merits a 3-star score at most.

Lovely out in the patio, prices priceless, great staff

Lovely dinner in a nice venue. Staff were great. It was very busy, so it a bit noisy, but all good. Has a beer garden too.

Crash your CDs. Digital is a deathwish

Busy ,quick service, staff friendly didn't have anything to eat

This place has vastly improved since we were here last. Good food, helpful staff and a guest ale which only cost £2.97 a pint. The coffee is a strong one, so it's got "guts", flavour and character to it. Refills of coffee were free, I believe.

Just went in for a Shandy. Very busy. But then I go in every Wetherspoons I can find. Usually only have coffee though

Dropped in for a pint and had a curry It was cool

A moment of fun in an otherwise cruel world.we were both wearing shirts with the Norton logo.. but mine was on a t shirt i was wearing under another.. he got a surprise when i did a superman reveal to match with his Norton...

Ordered meal on the app. Food came out promptly, halfway through the meal my pint came out

Nice wetherspoons. Beer good and food OK. Great for a get together.

Great breakfast and good service

Now this is a nice Spoons. Once a garage, it's large, spacious and tastefully decorated. We always pop in here when we visit Eastbourne.

Lovely lively venue, with friendly staff. Our meals were excellent and great value. My husband had the gourmet beef which was tender and tasty and I had the Jalfrazi which was delicious.

A decent sized spoons. Great service from the friendly staff and a good pint of Guinness, nuff said

Good food and prices. But they didn't put a peas in my meal. Loudy.

Not one of the best Wetherspoons I've visited. Still great value food and drinks. Always busy, and despite its large size, you can't always find a seat. The building has little to show its past life as the Cornfield garage other than a few pics on the wall, unlike some other Wetherspoons I've been to that really seem to celebrate the buildings past.

The Cornfield Garage - JD Wetherspoon offers good food at affordable prices. The menu has a variety of tasty options, ensuring a satisfying meal without breaking the bank. The atmosphere is pleasant, making it a great spot for a casual dining experience. Highly recommended for value and quality.

Been here many times..usually very good...however today small portion of food also cold...coffee machine not working properly...plates left on our table for 40mins after finishing...the place was not busy ..staff more content to be checking their phones...I did mention that my food was cold and all I got was "oh". huge amount of staff that were not particularly busy...but the worst experience ever

Excellent service visit regularly 😀

There are numerous reasons why not to part with your money at the Wetherspoons Cornfield Garage in Eastbourne, they include having to share your food or drink with the hoards of flies that populate the pub, additionally the pub serves numerous real ales which are poorly kept and served by a team that present the very worst of customer service including having absolutely no interest in the pub goer in front of them instead they are more content to hold conversation with colleagues. The toilets were awful, broken door locks, toilet paper cast everywhere on the ‘water’ soaked floors. The food was lukewarm when it came. Is this worst ‘spoons’ in the country? Probably!!!

Food was good but orders ordered at the same time came out staggered a couple in our group who ordered together , one meal eaten before other arrived and we had to ask for it , loads of staff bringing out meals here there and everywhere may of helped if just one served our table .

Probably the best quality breakfast in all of Eastbourne , fast and pleasant service Add extra black pudding 👌🏻

Unfortunately this place has really gone down hill. Ordered breakfast they forgot to add the bacon went back to the bar to complain got give 4 slices of bacon cooked but out of the fridge went back to the bar a second time the bacon was then blasted in the microwave and was handle like we were totally inconveniences them and it was 11am so not peck breakfast time. Very disappointed

Lovely place grubs nice and beer tastes good

The food was tasty but luke warm, the burger looked like something you'd get from McDonald's and the service wasn't the friendliest. Other than that, it was great!

Breakfast Good and cheap. But the PUB in the morning is always dirty on the floor and tables. The afternoon is a little worse. But I like the breakfast there.

Tables filthy and food under cooked

Absolute disgraceful management - I’m disabled and I was desperate to charge my mobility scooter as I didnt have enough charge to get me home - I was a paying customer but was told by the sharp tongued manageress that I couldn’t use thier plug socket ( half hour tops ) … she told me I could charge my phone but ( and she was rude in her manner when she said ) NOT THAT THING pointing to my scooter - I understand in general that this wouldn’t be apceptable - but I was desperate and so had to leave the establishment ( ruining my friendly drink with friends ) … I can only say when it comes to customer relations this place is a minus 10 - I’ve worked in the trade many yrs and wouldn’t employ that women to collect glasses let as alone manage a public house of this size …

On annual leave in Hastings from Cambridgeshire area. Didn't want junk food so popped into a spoons for jacket spud cheese and beans with a side salad. Great service food was delicious and hot.

A nice place to go before a night out. Only trouble is you cannot get served. It is getting a lot better. I now tend to use their app so I don't have to line up and be in a "raffle"as to when I'm going to get served

Cheap player service diabolical

Meals were not to bad ,I had the small fish &chips the fish was more batter than fish !! some of the staff were fine some didn't look to enthusiastic.

Good value for money 💰 service good.

lovely pub with lovely staff, great to have drinks with friends here, everyone’s always smiling and having a laugh with eachother and you’ll never meet kinder staff. foods good quality and always quick, everyone working hard to keep it clean.

Rubbish, Rubbish and rubbish!!!! After working 40+ years in hospitality the management need to take a GOOD look at this establishment, the bar staff are more concerned about closing down than serving the customers! I was asked to move down the bar to order my drinks ,are you having a bubble don't you realise that IM A PAYING CUSTOMER

Waited at bar to be served..only for the bar maid to ignore me and serve a Asian male who had just walked to the bar!! When I said I was next the bar maid replied" so what ! I'm serving my fellow Asian!! ..racial profiling at its best!! Lucky enough a white bar maid said I will serve you!!..disgusting customer service !! Racist bar staff

I like wetherspoons but was rather disappointed with my small cod and chips this afternoon. The fish was minimal! Tiny little slither of fish. Everything else was OK .

Sadly always a little dirty. Staff don’t seem to keep the place clean.

Do not order the fry up!!!! A teaspoon of Smart price beans snotty under cooked eggs a rather pathetic mushroom and it's a 10er next time going to McDonald's lol

We enjoyed our visit while in eastbourne

Food good, but all I wanted was 1 egg, 1 bacon and a slice of toast. What arrived was 3 eggs, 2 bacon and 2 toast. Far too much to eat.

Came in for a quick drink and some chips. No Worthingtons, Carlserg or San Miguel. Chips were cold, no mayonnaise and the seating area was disgustingly filthy!!

Lovely staff. Quick service. And cheap as you like. And they do Leffe.

We all love a weather spoons not bad food and cheap beer in door and out door seating not to far from hotel clean and very well run

Can be a bit hit and miss ......Most of the staff are fantastic, very friendly and helpful. Although I ordered a pint using the app, received a pint promptly. But it was room temperature and definitely not cold, I took it straight back to the bar only for the barman to imply that I was lying and must have left it before drinking it. Proving that I had only ordered it 5 minutes previous by showing him the order on the app, he took the pint and didn't say anything else to me. Another barman poured me another which was spot on! Second time was an orange juice and lemonade. The orange was a bit weak so asked for a little more orange juice. The reply from the young lady was "I made it myself, it's made to spec, you must've left it so long that the ice has melted." I only wanted a top up and definitely did not need the attitude. Difficult to complain as the majority of staff are fantastic.

I WOULD AVOID GOING HERE ME AND MY FRIEND GOT SPIKED HERE WITH OUR DRINKS BY STAFF MEMBERS LAST WEEK 😡😡😡😡

Enjoy everytime we come to eastbourne. Certainly one of the better wetherspoons I've been in

My only complaint is watching a guy clean the table with the same brush as the floor and promptly serve food afterwards

staff is amazing, always there if you need the help and always know how to cheer you up. they always welcome you back and always the same service no matter what

What a lovely pub! Great atmosphere, great service and staff always smiling!

We ordered fish chips and mushy peas The fish was so overdone it was very dry and the batter fell off the mushy peas was almost water

Bar staff really need to pay better attention to who is waiting at the bar. We were overlooked for a good 10 minutes while others got served first who turned up after us. Not good enough! Good prices, good food, no dogs allowed sadly.

Best pub in the area, number 1 spoons in the country. Give all the managers a massive pay rise!

Quick service, clean with a good atmosphere

Too little staff for this size restaurant. 40min waiting for drinks. They hire kids to save money but those kids need some competent to teach them how to serve... soo far

Unfortunately it can be a bit grim in there with some quiestionable clientle. There was a bloke chundering in urinal last time I was there. Keep it classy Ebo

Small portions of food Large and small had the same amount of batter in it

Great food and very reasonable prices. Polite and friendly staff and the pub was very clead. Definitely recommend.

Good place to have a cheap brekie. Pretty busy on weekends for drinks with mates. No music good talking vibes. Refillable coffee.

Worth a visit if in Eastbourne, we visited here whilst away on business. For a weatherspoons food was very nice and hot. Beer was cheaper than weatherspoons in Birmingham. All in all one of the better weatherspoons.

Beer and cider are very inexpensive, the food is good and the service didn't take long

Doesnt feel like a typical spoons. The staff are lovely especially CALLUM and TAYLOR. theyres always someone collecting glasses and wiping tables. The place is spotless. Great place.

Usual wetherspoons, so you know if you like them or not before you go in. Had a mixed grill that was nice and a couple of drinks, no atmosphere as no music was playing

Proper Witherspoon's Plenty of choice of ales & food.

Spoons is a little bit like McDonalds in that you know what you're getting if you order food. Service is a bit impersonal now, particularly if using the app - it doesn't really feel like a proper pub experience. Atmosphere is OK, can get a bit loud when it's busy - but it's nice enough. It's a good place to start your night off and load up on the nicely priced cheap beer before steeling yourself to pay £6.50 a pint elsewhere!

One of the best spoonies about. Cheap drinks and nice food. Staff always friendly.

Food excellent for what we paid, there were a lot of hardened drinkers in here but I disregarded that because it's what you expect from a weatherspoon pub.

We visit Eastbourne at least once every year, always booking a room only hotel and having breakfast at Cornfield Garage, often having a dinner as well. We always find a table and the food is reliably good.

Christinas advice was spot on the ramen bowl was great she explained the noodle size as i dont like udon noodles and she was right this bowl was great

I've been to dozens of Weatherspoons around the country. Avoid The Cornfield Garage. The staff were rude and obnoxious and no manners. There were only a dozen customers so it was quiet but not even a smile or a please or thank you from staff members. The food was exceptionally poor compared to other Weatherspoons. Won't be using the Weatherspoons again.

My preferred Breakfast location,when visiting Eastbourne, because you always know what you’re getting Hearty Breakfast Well cooked Promptly Served Space to seat comfortably Value for money And coffee on refill :0)

Excellent place Excellent food very nice people

As with all 'Spoons' this one is no exception to having a taken a building and sympathetically themed the interior to match the original use of the building. Not surprisingly, this use to be a garage (car sales and repairs), hence the name. Typical spoons food, i.e. competitively priced and tasty. Cheap drinks, including bottomless hot drinks. Parking nearby is difficult and/or expensive.

I enjoy the food and drink there. I have the app. So, ordering food and drink is easy and the service is quick too.
