Good range of beer. BUT speaking from my own experience I don't have a very good time in there. I am very hard of hearing and wear hearing and when I go to the bar to order a meal ( which is something that is relatively easy ) I nearly always find it difficult as I am made to feel idiotic as I can't hear bar staff or they can't hear me and I usually come away from the bar feeling very self conscious being made aware of some major failing on my part . Thankfully no body talks to me in there to upset me so I think I will give it a miss. Glad it works for other people though .

Yes, it's like walking back in time to The Hippodrome(excluding seating, of course) the decor of old posters made such a difference than what can be a usual "Spoons" ex bank. I am definitely in favour of re purposing these old buildings, The staff came across very friendly and always served with a smile, The manageress led from the front. If she wasn't out front, keeping the place looking tidy, she was behind the bar serving or cloth in hand cleaning, I didn't eat there, so I could not comment, the atmosphere, well it's a "spoons" very open so always lots of background chit, chat.

Ordered the American burger for my child it was so hard it could of been thrown like a frisbee, we ordered two mixed grills (well done) when my partner politely explained one had to be well done due to myself being pregnant they literally gave the impression of they don’t care, I don’t understand how hard it is to just make sure the meat is well done for a legit reason, it’s the first time we’ve been to a Wetherspoons where this has happened, now not being funny it wasn’t busy, I myself have worked in the industry & wouldn’t dare of met a paying customer with such ignorance, and telling me it has to be a certain spec yeah there are many forms of cooking meat - blue, medium well, well done to list a few! The only plus side is at least the dog will eat well tonight!

The food and drink are value for money with a good selection. Centrally located with plenty of space. As with all SPOONS, the attraction is value and convenience, and you would have to go a long way to compare to this national chain. Toilets located in the penthouse, as usual, are not that convenient if you struggle with stairs.

Decor good with lots of cinema posters to read..

Well, it's a Spoons and food and service are as you would expect. No problems there. And of course, the loos (which were spotless) are a bazillion miles away up flights of stairs. Not such a hike as some other Wetherspoons I have been to but still far enough to raise an ironic smile when I went in search of them. But at least there is a disabled loo at ground level. What I like about the Hippodrome though is that they seem to have gone out of their way to preserve and enhance the Art Deco styling both inside and out. It still feels like a cinema as you walk into the foyer. I love that.

Stayed at the Hippodrome for a short break and had a very, very comfortable room tucked away in a quiet spot. A bed the size of a football pitch awaited us on arrival, it was almost possible to get lost in it. The hectare of mattress was an exceptional way to spend the night and offered comfort the likes of which we'd rarely enjoyed in a hotel. The room was excellent and the bathroom gave us no reason to complain either. Clean, powerful shower, hot water, spot on. The bar is Wetherspoons through and through. A converted cinema, promotional posters adorn the walls offering a fascinating insight into how long the building served it's purpose. The food was good enough without being wonderful and the stay as a whole was perfectly acceptable.

Shouldn't have been surprised how interesting this converted cinema is, but was and that's what Wetherspoon does well. It has the usual long bar with a great range of drinks at very affordable prices. I took my family of 4 for a meal and drinks and they were very happy with the quality and quantity all for less than £28.00!

I have frequented The Hippodrome for many years and on a few occasions had to complain about my meal, usually because it was cold. Staff dealt with it and it was replaced with an apology. On the evening of Easter Sunday I ordered a meal and a pint then proceeded to my usual table (No 25) only to find that the seats had been taken by table 24 ... a very big group of friends enjoying their meal and beverages. I waited for my meal sitting at the adjacent table No 26 .. it never arrived and I wasn't approached by any member of staff to enquire if I had ordered a meal for table 25. It then transpired in conversation with various members of staff that my meal was given to table 24 ??.. why, and when I approached staff at the bar to ask if any of them possessed common sense or a tongue in their head to actually find the person who had ordered for table 25. It turned out that it was MY FAULT !! , for sitting at table 26 (immediately adjacent) to 25 and not telling anyone . The subsequent verbal exchange at the bar left me dumbfounded and lost for words.. I was given a full refund but that is not the point as to why I have given this account on the reviews. I was a long term customer of The Hippodrome and many staff knew me, but to be spoken to the way I was and at no point was any apology given, has left a bad taste in my mouth. Ps it wasn't from the food because I didn't get it.

Not the best place in March for breakfast, or any food come to that. Went with a mate for an early Saturday morning breakfast. Place was less than half full,so not busy. Ordered the large breakfast, but no hash browns, instead asked for extra tomato. We'll that was a joke the mushroom (singular) was the size of a 10p piece, two very thin and dried out rashers of bacon, two lovely meaty sausages, two very over done and dried up fried eggs, and my replacement tomato for the 3 hash browns was just a small half ! When I complained to the duty manageress she said "that's all you'll get" and @ £7.99 I'd suggest a walk up the main road where there are others far better priced and value for the money! One barmaid however was very nice and helpful....Go elsewhere folks..

The hotel is in a decent location. Room was typical wetherspoons - very contemporary. It was a little bit on the small side, compared with other Wetherspoon rooms I've stayed in, but we were only there for one night so not a big deal. We only had the breakfast so it was on par with other with a Wetherspoon breakfast experiences. Overall a decent stay.

The room was very clean, spacious and a fantastic bathroom/shower. Food and drinks in the bar were to their usual standards. Only complaint I could make and this spoilt the night, was the room was very very cold even though we had the heating up to 28 degrees, it only blew out cold air. The receptionist/staff tried on two occasions to get it to warm up but failed on both occasions. No alternative was offered.

Waited for our meals and complained twice about delay. When the steaks arrived, they were rare, though we ordered medium to well done. After sending them back, one came back just about ok. The other was still underdone and inedible. We had waited over an hour for our meals. We were given free drinks that no way made up for a thoroughly spoilt evening. Such a pity because the building is superb, the main reason we visited.

Breakfast the kids had they said was nice and looked decent proportions. Drinks orders correct and delivered timely. Drawings and crayons available which is a help with small kids. Cheap prices.

Decided to have lunch at one of the local places we've never been. You wouldn't think much of it as building looks dated, however, we were astonished by the quality of food we had!
