J.D. Weatherspoon in Ards

Took my 5 month old daughter into the baby changing to change her nappy, the floor was covered in urine, toilet absolutely stinking, I will no longer be taking my daughter into the toilet as I will be changing her on the seats if needs be until this problem is solved! I have been in a lot in the past and the door use to be locked, complained to staff and got told ‘it’s the taps splashing onto the floor’ when the taps are on the opposite end of the bathroom and proceeded to close the door and added a wet floor sign.

The ales I had were sour, ask for a different pint that was off also. Manager had a sniff and agreed. Tried another and just about okay. Place is dirty and food awful, would never go back. I like English ales and visit many Wetherspoon pubs, this is the worst I have been in. Staff nice though perhaps when the place is refurbished they will get their act together.

Came to Newtownards from Belfast for a meal and as Wetherspoons goes we thought this one was very good. One chicken tikka and a madras was ordered. It was hot, exceptionally tasty and we thoroughly enjoyed the food. Although busy, the staff were friendly and helpful. One staff member was having her own lunch nearby and chatted with us happily. We'll certainly be revisiting in the future as for less than £20 you can't really go wrong as a couple. It was very nice and well worth a visit.

Went with family for meal. All four had 'gourmet steak'. It was awful. Tough as old boots and raw in places. We had all asked for medium rare but the steak was very grisly and poorly cooked. One got sent back raw, the other three were only half eaten, just. I will never have steak there again. The food generally is only just average but I guess cheap food means cheap products cooked by amateurs.

The food is average and drinks ok....you can taste the difference with their watered down coke compared to other places but hats off to the staff for their friendliness especially Nadine who is an absolute delight, lovely girl . Thank you Nadine.

Busy place so I always use the App when ordering and the food comes pretty quickly. At peak times it might be hard to find a free table. Usual wide choice of food and drinks available and it has a beer "garden" outside for the warmer months. Pretty good service/food for the price. Overall 4 stars

Just visited The Prior John Bridligton after been closed for major building work.The staff at The Prior JohnAre very welcoming and friendly.I tried the proiaged which I enjoyed very much.I cannot wait to try something different .When you come to visit BridligtonMake Shaw you go to The Prior John

Can't beat two steak dinners with pepper sauce and onion ring sides 2 drinks for under 20 quid and it was lovely .

Can’t fault the beer selection on offer and at the best prices in town no doubt. Always busy and the toilets acceptable for a change.

Popped in for lunch today. Staff were fine. 3 meals and drinks for under eighteen pounds. Nothing fancy but decent enough value.

Was quite excited to go to a weatherspoons because I’d heard good things about other ones in Belfast or in airports etc... this place wasn’t good at all, ordered a medium stake, came so well done that we may as well have taken a bite out of our shoe. The sausages and mash were bland and it looked like someone had done number 2 on my plate.. yes granted... it was cheap, but i left unsatisfied and a little put off food for a good couple of hours

£2.25 for a pint of Guinness. You have the choice of downloading the app where you can pay and order drinks to your table or you can line up at the bar. The location is centrally located and quite large inside. We didn't try the food however saw plenty of people who did. A little dated inside however due to the sheer numbers its understandable. We also noted the there appeared to be a younger crowd. Definately would go back as the price is hard to beat.

This facility was out of order some weeks ago. New lock fitted. Lovely. A few weeks ago a key was stuck in the lock which meant everyone could use it. Complained to staff but excuses. Problem is I believe that is if some one is in toilet and lock the door and need help by pulling the emergency cord the door CANNOT be accessed from outside as it's supposed to be.

Menu food times seem a bit vague. Does food until served times mean last orders or do I need to order before that time.

As with all Weatherspoon restaurants this one doesnt disappoint. The food is good and the service efficient. My favourite is the mixed grill.

We went their to get a meal which the food wasn't cooked properly and the alcoholic drinks were awful. I would never go back again or recommend it to anyone else.

¿Qué puedo decir? Este debe ser el peor lugar del mundo. Éramos un grupo de 6 para el cumpleaños de un primo. Mientras espera de todo el grupo para llegar tuvimos que sentarnos en una mesa en la que estaban sucias de vasos vacíos cliente anterior. Nadie vino a retirar vasos o limpie la mesa. No podía moverse como ninguna otra mesa disponible. Fuimos a pedir bebidas y nos dijeron que no sirven lemon lime y and bitters". El barman, que resultó ser el director nunca había oído and bitters". En lo que dijo otro camarero, que me dijo que esta era una bebida que era anticuada y tengo que salir mucho. Me decepcionó este ir. Luego mi hermana le dije que era de Australia y fue popular. Su respuesta me estaba "bien ¿POR QUÉ NO VOLVER allí", me llevó a este delito y pensé él muy grosero. Me hubiera ido inmediatamente, pero no quiero escandalizar a mi primo como ella había elegido lugar. Cuando pregunté si me pago nada más le dije que podía limpiar la mesa. Habíamos estado sentados en una mesa sucia alrededor de media hora. La comida era asquerosa y el lugar era tan oscuro que no podía ver lo que estaba comiendo - odio. La camarera era y fue lo único bueno de este lugar. Por cierto que fuera a menudo y gracias a Dios que estoy en casa de mi Limón, Lima y and bitters".

Meals were really lovely but I have never had such a rubbish Irish Coffee, it was served up in a beer glass and lousy, could learn to make a decent one.

If you like microwave 're heats this is the place for you, I found the food tasteless , I have been to other Witherspoon and the food is the same .

Mi título hace de este lugar el sonido horrible, pero realmente no lo es. Siempre tengo una buena noche aquí, y mi padre estaba teniendo tanta diversión se cayó en las escaleras y se rompió el tobillo. No es culpa del Wetherspoons en absoluto, pero siempre es una historia divertida nos reímos de cuando nos visite.

Basic pub grub . Value for money . Good menu deals ie food plus drink for 1 price.fast service and basic

Hemos cenado allí la semana pasada. El servicio muy atento y agradable, la carta extensa y todo lo que pedimos muy rico. Precios económicos.

Lugar muy concurrido que ofrece una gran relación calidad-precio y es la variedad de la comida, como otros críticos siempre pareció que el personal era muy amable y acogedor, regularmente cuando en Sdra en pop.

Se decidió en el último momento para buscar algo de comer y beber durante un viaje a sdra. Tengo que decir que quedé agradablemente sorprendido por la variedad de comidas en el menú y la facilidad de ordenar comida razonable y precios muy razonables (15 libras por 2 pescado y patatas fritas y 2 bebidas), nos pareció que el personal era muy agradable y la camarera, aunque muy concurrido tomó un momento para charlar con nosotros. Volveremos pronto como ambiente agradable, (cerveza grande jardín) y fácil aparcamiento cerca.

Most welcoming & friendly the staff were all helpful. The food was good & didn't cost too much will go back

FANTASTIC menu choices and good value, quick service, good quick convenient meals, suitable area for kids to sit/sewerage from bar area! Only fault is it is generally full of adults with NO children

Went with friends for breakfast because they do veggie sausages and one of our friends is a veggie. We were there early around nine and the place was open but very cold. It's an old building with thick walls and obviously takes a while to heat, however it was still freezing cold when we left some two hours later. We were all having the cooked breakfast option and you have to go up to the bar to order and pay in advance. The food was brought down by some man in a thick winter coat!The food it's self was okay, a bit basic to be honest but very cheap. We weren't keen on the ordinary sausages they didn't taste like they were great quality and the eggs weren't soft. The coffee was good and you can go back up and serve yourself a coffee top up but that is the best I can say. We would rather paid a bit more for better quality.

good decent food- if a little do it yourself, not really evident when you arrive in a weatherspoons- if you had not been in before that you have to go to the bar- a bit crappy having to wait in line at bar- with others and pay before you eat- you have to collect your own cutlery s& p etc, money always paid up front, so if there was a problem you might have difficulty getting your money back ?, decent food, they will swing throught eh menu for you but will charge for any deviations my son wanted a blue cheese sauce on his kids burger meal- they charges=additional £1. we didn't mind- as that's what he wanted, some might not be happy- no pots of tea- just mugs to which we were given then over the bar when we ordered- like a crappy made cuppa- my husbands was cold when the food came out ans mind was well drunk- staff not so polite- we have eatd to a few of these resturants and the staff always seem to be distant- may be that's the rule in these establishments- the carrickfergus one in pub staff are very rude, but all in not bad, they always have the sport on TV and plenty of newspapers x

Food is brilliant for all the price you pay! They have a theme menu for every night other week, fish is massive with all the trimmings and curry's are beautiful!!

We visit here once a week, the food is usually fine and all the better if you have a meal with a free drink included in the price.The staff are fine, however I must mention Chelsea as she is extremely helpful and if something is not right , she is always willing to sort it out, without giving attitude.Great customer service from her. In the hospitality industry, that is what helps to keep customers coming back, it is extremely important and not always there in the service industry.Reasonably priced menu. Warmer plates for food would be good.Great selection of world beers and spirits cheaper than anywhere else.

Local restaurant/bar. Friendly staff. Food nice but at times not enough. Reasonably priced. Parking can be found behind restaurant if none available on street.

Called in with my dad for breakfast, it was just ok, soda bread soggy with fat - yuk, anyway the rest of the brekkie was fine, would prefer my tea with the food as you get it is well before the food, no atmosphere so not that welcoming. Staff courteous. Last resort to go back to.

We turned up last Saturday morning with 20 hungry friends travelling in our old bus as the pub opened at 8am. Virtually everyone wanted a full large 'Ulster Fry' breakfast and with just three visible staff and only one in the kitchen, we were all served an excellent quality good value meal within half an hour. Hats off to the oppressed chef!
