The state of this place continues its sad decline. Standards have dropped significantly since my last visit a couple of months ago. The men's toilets are an absolute disgrace. There's one serviceable cubicle- but the toilet bowl is hanging off the wall and the door lock has been bodged up so many times it barely provides the necessary privacy. The stench from the urinals is so bad - you can tell when the toilet door opens as it wafts into the pub. Not really what you want to be smelling when you're eating and drinking- it's bad enough when you have to go to the toilet . The staff are great but completely up against it as there are so few of them. Dirty glasses pile up on tables untouched. This place is desperate for a makeover. I for one won't be rushing back. I know the beer is cheap but, I'm afraid I'd rather pay "proper pub" prices and have a degree of comfort rather than sit in a what effective looks and smells like a cattle market. Come on 'Spoons. You can do much much better than this.

As Wetherspoons go, this is one of the better ones I think. Food, drink, service - all good enough. Floors are less sticky that other branches 😂👍

Called in by chance and found that Tuesday evening was a 'Steak Night'. When I looked at the prices I thought the food would be rubbish, but to our amazement we found the food and the service to be first class. I can honestly say that was the best value for money that we've had in a restaurant for quite some time. Well done to management and staff for looking after us, can't wait to go back.

We gave this a try for dinner before a concert at Carnegie. It's clean, really good value and very friendly, the atmosphere in here is amazing. Although it was the first time we went, everyone, staff and customers were friendly, and we felt welcomed. The food is great and such great value, it was Curry night so we gave it a try and it was awesome.

Ordered boneless basket, took a bite of the chicken and chips and was lukewarm, sent the food back and all they done was reheat the food as my half eaten chicken was still in the basket. Food ended up being very dry with reheating it. Even had to ask for coleslaw which was suppose to come with the meal.

Whenever we go on holiday, we usually end up eating in a local 'Spoons' - food is reasonably priced and varied menu for everyone, though I usually opt for the veggie burger. I am also interested in which local heritage figure each Wetherspoons is named after and the buildings that have been converted, and really liked this one.

Another good Wetherspoons experience! Good service, friendly staff and wetherspoons standard of food - which is Ten times as good as other chains and a lot more reasonably priced. The venue is a lovely old cinema and Wetherspoons does a remarkable job of saving these historical buildings that local councils would allow to become derelict. Ten points for spoons for providing a community service and facility that government completely fails at.

We came in knowing we would get typical food for the establishment but seriously asked for my steak medium rare… what came was a burning hot plate with freezing cold food….steak was cremated to shoe leather. Mash cold as was everything else and the pepper sauce well it was a lumpy, powdery cold gloop… sent plate back to be told the bar manageress was cooking my food herself and I am thinking where is the chef??? Second plate not much better…. I felt sorry for the embarrassed waiter…. Could do so much better…. I had a bad stomach the next day def food not at the right temperature and yet they display a 5 star on the door…..really!!!!

Wentvfor food at lunch time today. It wasnt particulary packed. But have to say the food was discusting. My partner had the 8oz steak with mash and a peppercorn sauce, when it arrived we were told to be careful as the plate was hot, it was just warm, but the food on it was COLD, The sauce had powder lumps in it, we asked for the steak to be medium rare, it was dry and tastless. I took the plate back the staff member i spoke to was very apologetic and took it away to be replaced. He came to our table a few moments later to inform us that the manager was going to cook the replacement meal. When that arrived there was not much change to what had originally been served. I ordered the large mixed grill which arrived luke warm, it consisted of 10 chips, dried out peas, burnt but cold tomato, the meat was dry and tastless. I do not expect resturant standard food from a weatherspoons, but certainly food served hot and at a safe temp.

Visited for food and drinks before gig at Carnegie Theatre. Based in former cinema. Saturday afternoon and very busy. A bit of a weave around the closely positioned tables to get to the bar. The bar service was very good and we ordered food later which was good and served quickly especially considering how busy the pub was.

Grubbiest spoons I have ever been to, in serious need of a makeover grubby old wobbly tables, badly worn carpet, grubby decoration. More of a greasy spoons than a Wetherspoons, food portioning inconsistant and often very small for the now far more expensive costs. Staff all very nice though.

Just another Wetherspoons really… This one holds a special place in my heart as it’s the place my fiancée and I had our first date. We have been here a lot since meeting 4 years ago and most of the time the experience is a positive one, the staff are always helpful and most of them are smiley and friendly - you just get the odd one or two who barely speak. The food is as you’d expect from a Wetherspoons, I will use tonight’s meal as my review focus… It was “steak club” tonight so I went for the gourmet sirloin steak which includes a sauce, onion rings and chips for £12.47 on the app (the physical menu says a cheaper price so who knows - the prices have rocketed up over the last year anyways) The steak arrived along with everyone else’s meals but my peppercorn sauce never arrived, I went to find a member of staff to ask him to get the sauce for me but he went to the bar first to check our order to make sure that I should have a sauce - I understand people could take advantage but I felt this was a bit unnecessary and took more time than it needed to. The steak itself was actually quite good, it was nice and succulent with plenty of flavour, I always go for slightly less cooked than I’d ideally have a steak as it always seems to get overcooked a little The chips were ok, just your typical ‘spoons chips. The mushroom was a bit pathetic, one tiny mushroom might as well not be there. The sauce (when it arrived) was nice too, very flavoursome and definitely full of peppercorns! The onion rings were decent, I’m not the biggest fan of onion rings anymore but these had a nice flavour, they were just a little soft in texture. Overall, it’s a chain place for food with a generally good atmosphere, not quite as affordable as it used to be but still cheaper than a normal restaurant meal - for now anyway.

My husband, myself and our 13 year old son visited The Brasserie two days ago on a Saturday evening. We were able to walk from our cottage accomadation to the Brasserie. On arrival to the venue we were very impressed by the beautiful driveway leading down to the Brasserie. The whole establishment is obviously very well kept with beautiful spring flowers and plants and lovely lighting down the drive. On entering the Brasserie however, we were suprised that the decor didnt appear to match the rest of the hotel. We were approached by a friendly waiter on arrival who took our drinks and food order promptly. He checked we were all ok during the first half of our meal and we felt his interactions with us were appropriate, not too overpowering or disinterested. My husband ordered the mushroom stroganoff. He felt it was quite ordinary and bland. I ordered the brushetta and a side portion of fries. I felt the brushetta was overpriced but the fries were beautiful. My son ordered the pizza which he said was really tasty! During the meal.another member of staff( female) arrived and we have to say it was quite an experience! We had ordered a second round of drinks. I had ordere a lakes gin and a small bottle of fever tree ginger ale to mix it with. I was allowing my son to taste the ginger ale from the bottle. The waitress appeared out of nowhere and snatched the bottle from his hand with a resounding"no!" It shocked us all! We reassured her that this was not an alcoholuc drink. She then commented in quite a rude manner when my husband wiped his nose gently on a napkin and also told us later on during the meal that she was used to working in the " posh restaurant". During our meal she stood over us on several.occasions which we felt was inappropriate and a bit unnerving! We felt she would benefit from some more training from more experienced members of staff. We did realise she was young and and was probably trying to.please (.a little too much). We were very patient with her but felt there may be future guests who may not be quite so tolerant! A little later during the evening my husband and our son went to use the toilet closest to the Brasserie. They came back and both told me there was smashed glass on the floor and a dirty nappy. My husband reported this to a member of staff from the spa team. On leaving the Brasserie we walked through to the hotel reception as we were all so concerned about the state of the toilet and wanted to ensure it had been sorted and the message had got trough. The lady on hotel reception didnt appear to know anything about this but we did see her promptly speaking to another hotel member of staff after our conversation. The only other disappointing part to.our meal was the cheeseboard. It sounded fantastic on the Brasserie menu but when it arrived we were informed that some of the cheeses were not available. The waiter did however add a few extra for us but we felt this could have been mentioned before we went ahead with the order. Sadly it was a disappointing experience as it could be a fabulous setting within the grounds of an obviously gorgeous hotel.
