What an absolute disgrace. The Sir Thomas Gerrard in Ashton in Makerfield has had a heavy week / weekend. Thursday to Saturday, racing at Haydock and the rugby league challenge Cup on Saturday. By the end of play on Friday, they had run out of gas, so every pump, for beer, lager, guiness and soft drinks wasn't working and they wouldn't be getting a delivery of gas until Tuesday. Come on Sir Tim, surely you can organise things better than this and ensure that the pubs that you have open to the public are functioning properly before you start investing in bigger and better establishments??? How hard is it to order sufficient gas to ensure that regular, loyal customers get the service that they deserve?

Came to have some tea I have sausage chips and beans, my over family member had a pizza and we both had a garlic bread to share, it was amazing! The only reason it wasn’t a 5 star experience for s because the table where a little on the messy side.

Below average if I'm honest. The tables were a touch on the dirty side, but then the place was heaving. We sat and had our drinks but really didn't fell like staying on for another. It wasn't the worst but it was also far from the best.

This is a typical wetherspoons, there were a few messy tables and a fairly long wait at the bar however the staff here are very friendly and working really hard. The table service was relatively quick and the food was fine. The shift leader Dave is brilliant, a real credit to the company.

I have eaten her twice and had the steak chips with extra chicken both times And have found the food to be the same as other Wetherspoons but the service is pretty good I never had to wait long for my food and a waitress was clearing and cleaning tables normally they say they are to busy to do this So would I go again ? Yes I will

Lovely experience out with my girlfriend. Exceptional service from Callum! I could tell he was new and a bit nervous but such a great attitude and work ethic. However, I would like to commend the rest of the staff on their standard of service. I would definitely visit again

Really disappointed due to a number of issues, but mostly due to bad management. Waited to be seated, and was told approximately 15 mins for an order. It took nearly 30 minutes for an order of two drinks! Poor adherence to COVID rules, once inside many people walking around with no masks on, even talking to staff and approaching the bar. when manageress asked about this she basically said if we didn’t like it we could leave!! Not sure I want to return to a premises that basically allows the manageress to have carte Blanche over which rules she decides to enforce and which to ignore, not what you would expect from such a well known business chain

Smelly. Lazy inattentive staff. Wont go here for food as I have been before when it was just greasy tables awash with slops and uncleared plates. Garbage piled high against walls outside including scrap pallets with protruding nails which have been there for weeks.

Track and trace card box left near door with no member of staff present.Customers details available for anyone able to pick up when passing. Tables sticky and dirty. Old wetherspoons magazines left on the table, yet no menus? (other pub chains offer disposable or laminated wipe down menus). surrounding areas thick with dust. Table service..yet still have to go to the bar to pay(other chains bring the card machine to you) or to use the coffee machine. Not many people able or confident in using app so most customers were using waiter/waitresses service to order causing everyone to be sat in the same area and empty tables for app only orders.

The dust on the surfaces completely turned my stomach while I was eating. Definitely wont be coming back. The lack of cleanliness baffles me during a time like we have never seen before when you would have thought housekeeping was kne of the highest priorities however sticky surfaces which havent been wiped and a collection of dust which has definitely not been cleaned since way before lockdown has been enough to say I'll never be coming back. Good service. Average food

I am normally very pleased with weather spoons pubs but this place let them down my friend recommended the fish and chips but on ordering we where told that they only had small ones so ordered only to find out that they where only about five inches long at best I also ordered a steak that was so chewy I ended up leaving it I am afraid it will be some time till I come again

Have always liked coming here but on visiting today we were confronted by a queue to get in caused by an individual on the door who seemed to think that people going in for drinks could bypass the check in.It was impossible to get to the bar and maintain social huh reserve squad. Won't be rushing back.

They had difficulty finding a table for a family of 5. Manager needed to be called to allow an extra seat to be added to a 4-table. Then one of us needed milk for her tea which they had forgotten to bring - or so we thought. She collected a part-used 2 litre plastic milk bottle from the bar - where she had to return it after use She said there were other milk bottles on the bar for customers to help themselves. So - Covid rules about seating diners seem more important than Covid rules about 'touching' things.And I don't appreciate the lecture from the manageress about the Covid rules and regs. Why do people treat us like idiots these days? It certainly wasn't a pleasant dining expereince.

Been going in this Wetherspoons for many years and sadly the cleanliness seems to be going down hill.Every time we go in lately the tables are covered in empty glasses,plates and food which seem to stay until customers move them.We even had to step over food on the floor. They either need more staff or good housekeeping lessons.

I live in this area, and been going in the T&Gs since it first opened. I’ve always liked the pubs friendly atmosphere. Been in for breakfast quite a few times, Great brekky. Last few times I’ve been in the evening the food is rushed and is either dried up or sloppy or a bit of both.. had scampi last night out with my brother an my dad. Today I’ve been “rough as” all day today from 5am this morning. This isn’t the first time. What is going on? So sorry I won’t be eating in the evening again.. Money will spend anywhere..

We're big fans of wetherspoons. We particularly like the no music ethos. It could just be where we sat, but it was really loud in there. There wasn't enough soft furnishings to absorb the sound well. You could hear everyone's conversations very loudly. Not the best environment.

Popped in having just dropped my car off for a service nearby. I must say the atmosphere was great. Customers were friendly and the staff were great. I people watched from my table and was impressed with the ever increasing number of people getting on so well together. Kids and adults mixed together and I felt really comfortable. Bar staff were so friendly and interacted with customers brilliantly. I ordered a breakfast from the comfort of my seat via the excellent Weatherspoon’s app and breakfast came very quickly. My free refills on coffee were great and I happily passed 2 hours easily. I wish this was my local!

And a few peas it was embarrassing when they put it on the table. This should not be served as a meal it was disgusting we waited for the server to ask how it was but he didn't come in guy's get your act together. Bring back the piri piri chicken unhappy#badbadfood

I visited this Wetherspoon town centre local on a busy Saturday early evening. Despite the pub being full I was served without delay by a friendly barman. I tried two of the cask ales on offer (Wily Fox APA and Bank Top Lunar Halo) both at £1.99 and I had the Manager's Special - Beef Madras with all the trimmings for £3.99. Excellent value for beer and food and both were very enjoyable. The interior is looking a bit dated and I presume Wetherspoon have it in their sights for a bit of TLC.

Always busy so I knew it would be a job finding a table. Those that were free were not cleared and filthy. Staff inefficiency must be to blame, or a culture of "not my job". If staff would take empty plates back after serving drinks or meals, then this wouldnt be an issue. When I worked in the business I would have been roasted for going back to the kitchen empty handed.

I recently took my youngest son and my mother for a breakfast treat towards the end of the Easter holidays. I soon realised that it was Ladies Day Friday at the races and the ‘Weatherspoons’ pub was busier than usual with young adults dressed up. We found a quiet, raised section in the pub, which had about 8 tables in the area and only one other small family group. As we tried to choose a table we realised that they we all still dirty and needed clearing. There was also a lot of food and mess on the floor around the tables. We moved the dishes off a table and sat down. On ordering food we explained that our table needed to be wiped, which a young lady soon did. However, the other tables remained unattended to and in need of clearing and wiping.

Called in on the 16th Oct at 4.30 pm. Place was quite busy and having to wait to get served by a couple of lethargic staff I ordered the special – Fish and Chips. Unfortunately they didn’t have any fish, so ordered a lasagne (which was good) and coffee. “Sorry no coffee”. I looked around the pub and my wife and I were the only people dining. It would appear that the once place to go has become just a drinking den. The place now had a seedy atmosphere and my wife could not wait to get out. Very sad to see its demise as the place holds some happy memories.

Service, drinks and food are fine BUT I think J D Wetherspoon are taking the proverbial in this location, to quote this as shabby would be a huge understatement, it is years overdue for a refurb, ripped and greasy chairs and upholstery, in some bay seating the seat is completely loose. There are plenty of other pubs in Ashton and I'm guessing only your prices are keeping the customers on board. If your budget stretches you would do well to go elsewhere.

This pub used to be in the Good Beer Guide. Once the duty managers with a passion for real ale left it went really down hill. I love the staff but they need training in beer rotation.

Nipped in here for a spur of the moment lunch and we were very impressed. Great place (busy even on a Monday afternoon!), lovely relaxed setting and very clean. The waitress who served us was absolutely lovely and an absolute credit to the place (wish I'd got her name!). We originally wanted to order the bagels but they had sold out (new and proving very popular on menu!) so we had grilled halloumi salad wrap with sweet chilli sauce and Tandoori chicken wrap and chips. 2 drinks included and bill just over £8.00. Would recommend.

I have been here on numerous occasions being local and have eaten here several times. As the title says, you know what to expect at a Wetherspoons. The food is good for the price as are the drinks. A reasonable standard pub menu and a good selection of drinks including guest beers and ciders. They also have the usual specials nights i.e. curry nights, steak nights, etc. which work out very good value and are usually well attended. All in all a decent night out with friends where you can chat without being drowned out by loud music.

After a gourmet weekend in the Lakes we were suddenly hungry, only just off the M6, this was ideal. Busy, but friendly and the staff who served us our meals went out of their way to check everything was alright. Both food and beer hit the spot. Splendid!

We were returning from a weekend away in the Lakes heading south on the M6 looking for cheap pub food when we found this place on a google search.It's very close to the motorway & has the usual Wetherspoons menu. It's a large pub & it was busy when we arrived at about 6pm on a Sunday night. But it wasn't noisy & we were served quickly. There was a good selection of beers at cheap prices & our food (excellent value) arrived quickly & was piping hot.Staff were friendly & helpful. This was far removed from the posh place in the Lakes we'd eaten in the day before. But our 2 meals & drinks in this place cost a lot less than the service charge in the other place! This was great value & a lovely atmosphere. I'd definitely call in again if I was in the vicinity.

Sticky tables. Cheap and cheerful. Good atmosphere. Despite being ram jammed with people the food came really quickly. Would only use if famished and happened to be passing.

So decided to come and have some lunch right at the start when they were serving it and when we got there straight away they said that the lasagna was not available a restaurant like this to say straight away that a certain item on the menu is not available that's like thinking to yourself how I ordered something else but it wasn't nice customer service wasn't the best been going for so many years maybe they've changed chefs maybe they've done something a little bit differently but I was very unpleasant with my visit when you have been going for so many years and thinking to yourself I'll give it one more chance one more chance one more chance sometimes you think to yourself maybe chances have now come to an end

Booked a table for the breakfast sharing board for two people for this morning. Have to say it was amazing and fantastic value, however today the service let us down. We weren't asked if we wanted drinks, so I asked and was told tea/coffee wasn't included, which was fair enough, so we ordered 2 coffees, the food came and after checking online I saw it included orange juice, so had to ask for that. Great choice of food and such a lovely pub. Have been many times for afternoon tea and always received a nice welcome. I have knocked a star off today for service. We finished our food but the staff serving were sat eating breakfast, so we waited a while and no one came, so had to disturb the staff to ask them if they could box the food we hadn't managed to eat up, not a problem. Staff are lovely, however we shouldn't have to feel we are disturbing them when we need to leave.
