Green Ginger in Torbay

Just a typical spoons, you get what you pay for. Cheap food, but cooked as you ask. Beer is always good, service is typical of a spoons, but still better than other pubs in the area.

Deffo one of the nicer spoons Iv been to. Food was hot and served quickly, drinks as always are very reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and efficient.

Came In out of rain for drinks . Lovely friendly pub nice and clean . We haven't got food today just the drinks so can't comment on food

A great large spoon i had visited there before on one of my trips to Torquay excellent place to come and see all that it has to offer in the summer months in Torquay thanks

The place could with brightening up as the decor is very dull and dark. It looks like it has never been redecorated since it was opened. Beer was very good, food quite good.

Me, Mum and Dad had left at 2am in the morning from our home for our holiday. We arrived in Torquay, and we needed breakfast. We went looking for decent cafes. A local chap informed us off a Wetherspoons (The Green Ginger) for a cooked breakfast We found the pub where the chap said it was, and my mum saw a lift, but it was all locked up, and we went into enquire about it. My mum asked the miserable looking lady behind the bar saying we need help in regards to my dad's mobility scooter cuz there was a lift and we got a reply with "the lift is not suitable for mobility scooters so you have to follow the building all the way round to the right where there is a lift" so we went around and found a lift but it led us to a shopping centre which is like a maze which was poorly signed so I went back in the pub and asked the staff member and he guided me and showed me there is a bridge so I went and followed the path where it was flat and easy for my dad so I signalled my mum and dad where I am and lead them to it. My mum helped him to cross the busy road safely without a pedestrian crossing. There was a dropped kerb at the beginning of the pavement, but when dad got into the middle and waited for traffic again. My mum noticed no dropped kerb but further down. My dad had to stay on the road for the dropped kerb further down to get back on the pavement with traffic started coming again from the busy junction. As soon as we got into the pub, there was no room to park the mobility scooter, and we found a table. The woman at the bar (was the one my mum had spoken to first about the lift) but she was polite when taking our order. The service for our food was quick and the lady was pleasant with a smile but I ordered a mocha and my drink did not taste like a mocha at all so we won't go there again. On our way out of the pub. We noticed the way back through the shopping centre. It was very badly signed posted for a shopping centre in which door for lifts/toilets and for the pub.

It's ok It's just a wetherspoons. Same thing in all of them

Great food, great service and great value for money.

Great atmosphere with good music Staff were lovely

Good beer and food at a reasonable price.

Good value for money, great and fast service

Filthy tables. Rubbish on the carpets. Staff too busy talking amongst themselves. Signage very poor.

Gotta be the worst spoons i've ever been in, rubbish all over the floor, tables not cleaned, full of noisy drunks, queers and oddballs. Wont be going again.

A lovely place. Will return soon.

Very busy pub, very nice inside. Service was very quick, and lots of seating area inside and out

Great place for a meal and drink

Great food, great prices. What can I say? It's a standard spoons, although quite big but really nice. Good garden with a great view of the town.

We called in for food and drink in the evening as on holiday service was great didn't take long to get served and would say within 10 mins of ordering our food arrived Food hot and cooked to how it was ordered Very busy Spoons and good vibe too would recommend and would visit again

A lovely positioned Whetherspoons. Great views over the harbour and town. Food and drinks standard fare, tasty and affordable.

Just nipped to minehead for the day it started to rain as we passed by the Green Ginger so we just had to nip in just to get out of the rain. Nice pub good layout the staff were friendly and attentive and no hiking of prices because of it being at the coast the, only thing with it is it was quite a way from the seafront.

Very good friendly staff good Beer.

When we arrived the table was full of dirty dishes and glasses. Other waitresses came by and went, and table still full for about an hour. When Pandora was asked if she could clear the table, no problem!! Leaving us with a spotless table, she was so friendly and very confident in her work and towards us. We ordered Cod fish and chips - absolutely beautiful, everything was perfectly cooked ( or warmed, not sure if it’s dinged, but beautiful) Beer good and lager, lovely buss about the place. Couldn’t have asked for more. Say a big thank you to Mr Martin his staff are brilliant and a pleasure to eat in the Green Ginger Torquay.

Very busy but we'll worth the visit with lovely food.

Great Spoons everything you would expect. Fast service even though it was busy.

From ordering the food the Green Ginger is the only Wetherspoons I know that have brought the meals out so quickly. Dont know how they did it but was piping hot, no complaints. Well done

Very busy weatherspoons, food fairly good, service fairly quick, no complaints

Dirty. It’s really hard to get someone to clean your table. Food is basic, burger wasn’t great. Atmosphere wasn’t very nice.

You're usual good pub grub. Hot well presented quick decent food. Good price.

The worst bar staff ever! They all seem to have bad attitudes but, the girl with the red streaks in her hair is clueless and extremely rude. Have they had training? Does not seem like it. We left after one drink. Give the job to someone who deserves it!

Far too many people in, had to fight for a table.

Great atmosphere. Only went in for drinks but was a pleasant experience in a lovely town

Typical wetherspoons what can you say. Usual real ales on, Only tried titanic wasn't up to much in my opinion. Didn't return to try anything else.

Rude thoose work near the bar, no hello or smile, just ask"what do you want", not the first Wetherspoons with this attitude of the bartenders, disgraceful no manners for the customers at all, Paignton was the same experience, very sad that managers not see this, it's a big thing to customers feel welcomed

In there tonight after football. Meat madras v good, decent pint of ale. Trouble was pub became half full of 18 year old acting as 12 year old. A table of girls screaming and shrieking for no apparent reason. We had to move tables, a mixed group quiet at first then playing a drinking game that involved bang bottles loudly. Then a bout of screeching across several groups of youngsters - seems to be a thing because when one started they all joined in. The security guys checked id outside but never came in or did a walk through. This was my worst Spoons experience ever in thousands of visits

A typical Wetherspoon pub situated in the Town. Service was good with meals served promptly. Staff were a bit slow clearing tables and we had to clear space to sit down. The staff were very pleasant.

Went to Torquay for a weekend. Popped into wetherspoons good service and staff were friendly.

Visted at 7pm on Friday. All in all ok for a night out however, drinks should arrive before food. Also, wouldn't recommend for families as our food came before our child's and then asked to leave at 8pm.

Being a wheel chair user I fount it very hard 2 acess the lifts it needs 2 be made bigger bcus when I was in I cudnt turn the wheel chair around to be wheeled out and nt enough ramps to get in or out bk on to the bridge

Was very loud and crowded The service was slow and the food was as expected for a weatherspoons

Great staff...great prices especially in the centre of Torquay

You will have more chance of finding a cleared, clean table at a chimps tea party. This place hasnt gone downhill, its just nose dived over a cliff. Dirty, dark and most unwelcoming. Special mention to the male manager who happily serves and places poured drinks on to a sopping wet bar of spill's and thinks that's acceptable.

Just popped in for a quick pint. Good service, great prices.

Dull staff not very nice well the lady who served me was not very nice at all😩😎

Nice place... Very busy... But also very dimly lit

Good food great atmosphere and surprisingly fast service. Well deserved five stars. Well worth the money

Big and lots of seats. Lacks individuality.

One of the best Wetherspoons I've been to. Very pleasant!

Very nice pub, great staff and lovely atmosphere

Very strange no dogs allowed outside when a large open space Very busy but still plenty seats

Typical Wetherspoons service and food bang on! No complaints friendly helpful staff and quick and good 🥳

It was busy but the atmosphere good. The staff were friendly and very obliging. Excellent curry.

Usual Wetherspoons. Terrible wifi reception, in fact almost non existent which ruined my experience.

Massive place,very busy and great food and good prices.Also you park in the multi storey car park and you walk straight into the pub

Your usual spoons but a nice view. Gets really busy at peak times. Mixed clientele and good choice of alcohol

Huge Wetherspoons in Torquay. Friendly staff.

Good pub if you can get there while it's quiet. Standard Weather spoons layout food and drink

Very tired, but just the usual Spoons really

This is a Wetherspoons pub. Good choice of drinks and a varied food 😋 menu.. at very reasonable prices. Staff very helpful,( if you don't use the APP ) and they deliver your meal to the table... FABULOUS 👌.

I ordered beef madras curry,which tasted fine.but the curry sauce ,contained very little meat. A very dissapointing experience .may not buy similer in future!. Venue, 8/8/24. PM.

Ordered steak..fatty tuff peas chips cold ..no filled bottles off sauces..tables was full of plates glasses etc...very disappointed

Very pretty place and the staff were brilliant 👏

Just had a drink here, nice to sit out on the terrace, and great prices

Good food, good variety of drinks. Quick service and an easy atmosphere.

Even though it's high season, service was good and it was easy to find a table and order with their app. Steak was ask requested. Only complaint I have is that the steak was almost cold when I got it

My wife has MS and uses a mobility scooter. It was very difficult to get in and out of the premises as the lifts were not large enough. There needs to be ramps put in to enable access to all levels and also one Disabled toilet is not enough for a Wetherspoons of this size. There was a queue and sometimes long wait for the disabled toilet

Great spot for lovely English breakfast, fast service, and hot food.

Being a manager since 2012 I cannot believe the audacity of the manager on today 10 minutes ago I asked for two breakfasts Asked I quote not to sound facetious could they be hot as previously on every occasion they have been cold Told by the “ Manager “ If you don’t like it, why do you keep coming back? If I had customers with problems in the past, I have rectify them for them. They have been repeat customers. I would lose so much money if I said that to a customer simply stating their breakfast in the past have been cold to why would u come here then Completely unbelievable 1 description to me has said that the person is backwards why would you deal with customers like that? As I’ve simply stated from a professional point, I would never have any customers if I speak to customers like that Customer feedback is very important when building up clientel list and repeat custom This will be reported to head office today. I expect this person to go into training for a professional managerial position customer satisfaction not personal opinion of attitude of which there was none and witnessed by customers. A simple statement of feedback was taken as a personal insult by somebody when they should’ve been professional No wonder 3.9 is the Google review. I’ve built up previous businesses from Google reviews and done very well.

Comfortable environment and very reasonable prices. Buy a coffee and refills are free.

We decided not to eat here 4 August as the tables were filthy. Not a nice environment.

First time in this spoons its OK

Nice food and good service but noisy on our visit

Steak was tough, expensive if you can't eat it, chicken strips were great.

Advised that we couldn't have a table due to staff shortages. The place was empty on a Sunday teatime. Maybe offer a limited menu just to keep the revenue flowing.

A typical Wetherspoons in a very central location.

Just as ubwould expect. Good priced food and ale 👍

Solid spoons can't go wrong, nice outside area.

Only walked in but no chance of a table as it was packed so walked out well done weather spoons.very busy .

Busy Saturday dinnertime few football fans in budweister on tap was nice

Busy great pub. Excellent service. Plenty of food.

The app to order is very hit n miss I know they have updated the app so this might be a blip in it.!!! It's a very busy pub so although food was slow being served the staff were great.

This chain never lets me down. Cheap beers, correct food. What more could you want?

Only had a couple of drinks in this place but I can say that they are expensive. The place is clean and tidy but not over busy for a lunchtime .

Its a typical spoons, busy but not too busy.

Good service but sinew on steak. Manager said this was not uncommon!!

Nice place but dont think there was a lot of choice on the menu

Filled with drug fuelled idiots doorman searched us going in and explained he had already found drugs and knives that day and it was only 3pm !!!! After being searched we walked in saw the state of the people in there and walked straight back out !!!

It's a "spoons" you know what you're going to get.

Couldn't get a table at 12:15 on a Saturday so can't really recommend.

Great spoons right by harbour. You can't go wrong here

Very quick bar service and also what you expect from a proper spoons 😊

Always use this Wetherspoons when in Torquay.

Still Great. Typical Spoons. Friendly staff.

Picked the wrong night to go out because place full of drunk loud people falling all over the place. Most definitely won't be attending this place again because of poor management.

You know what you are going to get each time OK food Fast service Full house

Cheap beer Monday and wings were hot and crispy

Biggest Witherspoon's have been to

Typical spoons cheap and cheerful

Popped for a coffee and a snack , near the harbour , easy to find and as we say Spoon's is Spoon's. Love it

This is our 97th Whetherspoons Visit on our list and the first one we've been disappointed with. The breakfast was cold and coffee machines are barely working (Half a cup when pressing latte). Every other Whetherspoons has allowed us to swap the mushroom out on the large breakfast for a hash brown (96p Vs 46p) but we were told we were not allowed. 96 other Whetherspoons including 9 in London (Both Victoria Station, Shakespeare Head, Cross Keys, Liberty Bonds, Moon Under Water, Barrel Vault, Sir John Oldcastle and Central Bar) all allowed us to swap items and all food was hot. Extremely disappointing visit today and definitely not the experience we have been used too. Only 1 out of 5 coffee machines currently working with a queue. Manager was understanding, offered to replace the breakfasts but we had already eaten most of it and didn't want to start again. Out of the items only the sausages and hash browns were like warm. One of the servers said there was food piled up and needed more staff to help serve. Certainly not the typical experience and the first one that warranted a review in 97 unique visits.

Breakfast Luke warm, could have been warmed up from day previous. Wouldn't visit again.
