John the Clerk of Cramlington in Northumberland

Ordered the 3 for £14 odd soup was not even warn the hallumi fries wer not even hot and the chicken bits wer like rubber. Sent back for the soup to be OK fries wer rock hard as thay must have just put them under a hot plate as sauce went to plastic.not enjoyed at all ..never had any problem in spoons but this put us off ..

Food not so good. Cold hot drinks out of a machine. Too many tables so makes in cramped. Can’t even walk through to the bar without dunching into someone

Breahkfast stone cold rubbish. This is the 3rd time never again.

Poor experience for breakfasts but love the place

Good food at reasonable price. Added bonus of table service when you use their app on your phone 😎

If you like to queue, you'll love it here . 30' long bar with 4 till points

Arrived about 10:30am, slow service, ordered four breakfasts, three came and had to wait about 10 minutes for the fourth. One was missing a mushroom and all fried eggs on all four plates were not runny. Breakfasts were eaten all the same! Quite tasty.

Refused third drink because “had too many” sorry what ahhahahahah howling

Bit of a gamble ordering food here as most of the time from my experience it's wrong

It's not a pop at Cramlington but a national problem.the nans always come out chewy. I love spoons and regularly eat and drink in them.but this needs to be looked at.apart from that I will continue to eat curry Thursday and probably continue to send the nans back.cheers

Decent enough Weatherspoons, probably one of the best ones I've been in... Nice and tidy, food was good.. Luckily for me, I didn't need to use the toilet so I'm not sure how far above sea level they actually are in here..

Great breakfast at a nicely decorated pub

Good selection of Beers and food

Normally good but sometimes comes bit cold

It’s a Wetherspoons so you know what you’re getting, a decent menu for breakfast and dinner and the usual range of drinks all at a very reasonable price.

Nice atmosphere, check on the app before ordering food as availability is hit and miss, especially for fish & chips.

As regular frequents of this fine establishment, we (myself and my fellow compatriots) can attest that the "tattooed, pierced, floppy fringed member of staff" is one of the kindest and hospitable hosts a patron could ever hope for when in a chain public house. Never a bad night, all staff keep a cozy and collected atmosphere. Would highly recommend to any weary travellers looking for a spot of respite. Top commendations all round.

It’s a Wetherspoons, it is what it is, nice cheap beer and food and the toilets are upstairs. Not a huge place and there can be a struggle getting a table at busy times. If you’re wanting 5 star gourmet food this probably isn’t the place for you. The pizzas and the burgers are actually pretty good and the rest is more than adequate. The cinema is just across the road as well which is handy for a nice cheap date night (I know how to treat her).

Great pub go, caters for everything, live a family meal there cant beat the all day breakfast. Great for a pint or a cocktail and really well priced.

way better food than the average spoons

Food and drink nice and very reasonably priced.

Couldn't sit outside with a dog despite it saying on Google Maps information that it's dog friendly. So it was a wasted journey. To make matters worse there was a guy smoking right next to a 'No Smoking' sign and the staff member ignored him. So Willow Farm had my business and they were fantastic!

Came in on Tuesday for some food and drinks and was greeted by some Lovely staff, and good service from a tattooed gentleman who was friendly and helpful.

Lovely place first time visiting here never been before staff were really helpful and friendly lovely vibe in here and decor was nicely done

Exactly as you would expect from a Wethers. Didn't bother with the app, just went to the bar. Football night so lots of crowded round the the big screen. Staff were a bit distracted, but to be fair, most of the customers were interested in the footie. We weren't.

Wet outside so pub relatively quiet. Usual unwiped, uncleared tables. Behind the bar, floor littered with milk bottle tops, serviettes etc. That's in public view, doesn't bode well for the kitchen really. Obviously unable to regulate heating as it's cool outside today, & not very warm inside!

Friendly staff and very helpful. Great food served nice and quickly. Our large order all came out at the same time, no issues and all very happy with our meals. Staff were visibly busy but still friendly and very professional. Lovely afternoon spent celebrating a 90th birthday. Thank you to all staff concerned.

Typical Weatherspoons in need of a refurbishment.

Slow delivery of food so 4 stars. Standard weatherspoons food. No problems except long wait.

Great pub with the friendliest staff and typical great value from spoons

We went on curry night and we were dissapointed with the quality of food. Microwaved rice, and the curry tasted like a microwave pack of curry. Rubber chicken and rubber rice. On top of that, we went at 3pm and there was a very intoxicated male and female, they were shouting very bad swear words for around 30 minutes before they were removed by staff. They should have been removed immediately at that time of the day. The two people were in care of two kids at the time also, (poor kids). Very dissapointed with our visit.

Very nice place, clean and tidy, staff were very nice and helpful.

I visited this wetherspoons not long after it opened and it was very good . I'm visiting the north east again was in Cramlington today so went for lunch to John the Clerk . The tables were littered with dirty plates and glasses . The food took a long time to come , when it did there was no cutlery . I could eat burger and chips with my fingers but my friend couldn't eat ham and eggs without cutlery . After a while her daughter went and got cutlery , we had been eating for 10mins when a staff member turned up with cutlery . The food was very poor. Every where I go in the country I look for a Wetherspoons , I will bypass this one on future visits .

Excellent food, great value for money, and a lovely atmosphere.

Went for the steak Tuesday offer. Ordered one medium and the other well done for the 8 oz, my partners was OK, my steak, chips and what came with it were luke warm, asked the staff if I could return this, that was no problem. In getting my second steak it was warmer but the rest the same. Not a good experience!

Generally good as 'spoons goes. Food generally OK, cask beers kept well. However, the tattooed, pierced, floppy fringed member of staff with a whole bag of chips on his shoulder lets the place down. Fair play to the rest of the staff. Shame as a reasonably good 'spoons !

came in and ordered drinks off the app. I drank mine so I ordered a new one and when it came my girlfriend didn’t realise I did so she sent it back then I was walking to the bar to get it I saw the woman with it and asked I think that’s mine for table 6 and she snapped and said well it’s on the bar so get it. Then I sat back down and had a saw something in the cocktail pitcher my girlfriend was drinking and there was white bits floating around so I went up to the bar to ask what was in it where I was greeted with a well I can’t make a new one as you have drank it. I then said I didn’t want a new one I just wanted to know what was in it. The girl behind the bar snatched it out my hands slammed it on the bar so I couldn’t get it and said I am not making you another one so I got the drink back after asking for it went back to the table and left. The place was filthy all the glasses were filthy and some of the staff were even worse. Would recommend to try some other Wetherspoons

Always busy, but staff cope well. Granddaughters enjoy the kids' meals as well, so win-win.

Lovely visit today! Pkace was heaving however staff all friendly and more than happy to help get us seated would highly recommend.

Nice simple eatery and pub .great price

Excellent Spoons pub, with great prices on guest ales. It’s actually cheaper than the Whitley Bay Wetherspoons pub example with guest ales at £1.99 compared to £2.88 for the same beer. The only thing is that it can sometimes be a bit hard to find a table at really busy times.

Double American cheese burger was pretty disappointing. It sucked. Small burger, giant single piece of gurkin and somewhat dry burgers. Chips weren't anything to shout about. Wouldn't recommend.

I really am fond of spoons, the prices are very reasonable. It must be the first weatherspoons which has a tiled floor, rather than carpet so it's a lot cleaner. The staff are friendly too. There isn't any music, but there is many other pubs a few meters away

With a new diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and refused a drink to being wobbly I will not be returning.

I'm sat in the Cramlington Wetherspoons as I type this. A really nice version of the 'Spoons franchise. Comfortable warm, clean, aesthetically pleasing interior. Friendly staff and a generally excellent overall feel to the pub. The breakfast was perfect, a really nicely cooked meal we thoroughly enjoyed. Great pub, nice food, enjoyed our visit immensely.

Typical Spoons. Good selection of drinks and the is what it is, but we stick with the breakfast

Called in after years of our last disappointing visit and wow what a transformation! Completely different place staff all happy and friendly the atmosphere was totally different! Food was out fast great value for money don't know what's changed but we will definitely be returning.

Awful weatherspoons. I had the plant base burger. And it was a burger in a bun. Nothing else with it. Place was gruby. Won't be going back there.

Typically an average visit of wether spoons. Cheap ish meal. Tasty . Portion was enough for me but options to add extras if wish. I had the steak was nice.

I used to go here as a teenager and now like me, it’s all grown up. I really like it and think it’s got a gorgeous friendly atmosphere

Quality of the food was alright but it was a very noisy place on a Saturday afternoon.otherwise it was alright.

Lovely spoons probably one of the best in the area, food was brilliant quality for what you pay as well cant go wrong, drinks always great here as well. They had the wood fire on when we went as well which made it lovely on a cold rainy day.

Food was mediocre. Order arrived in dribs and drabs. Dirty tables everywhere.

My son and I popped in after shopping nearby Wish we hadn’t bothered. The place was full at 2.30pm mostly with loud intoxicated people. After searching for a seat we eventually found a table for two. My son ordered our food via the app. I ordered Cod and chips and my son ordered an all day breakfast. I went for a coffee from the machine and on my return our food had been served to our table. I was horrified when I saw it! The fish, if you could call it that, looked like it had been thrown in the fryer while still alive and tried to escape. It was served upside down as it was so bent out of shape, fried to a crisp and rock hard. People eating nearby looked on in horror as I tried to negotiate it on the plate. I noticed the staff avoided asking if everything was ok and feel the “cook” was watching from a distance. Tables not cleared and empty glasses all over the place. The manager should be ashamed.

Another great day out at a Weatherspoons

We eat here regularly, the food is hot and tasty, it is not gourmet but you get a fair portion, there is plenty of choice and the service is good. The drinks are fair prices too

Shocking. Waited 20 minutes for a coffee cup. Both coffee machines broken. Freezing cold inedible breakfast. The worst spoons I've ever been in

It’s Wednesday and it’s Knit & Knatter where all items knitted are for sale with proceeds going to NE hospitals 👍🏻 Today is also the start of the Spring Real Ale Festival - up to 30 beers brewed specifically for the next 10 days and for sale at the knock down price of £2.49 per pint.

A jolly place with good local atmosphere. Never had a complaint about the food and a very quick service with great staff. Toilets are always clean which is a big thing for me. I like it that they entertain local groups too; the knitting group as an example. Parking is free at sainsburies over the road or, if your lucky, a few shops away round the corner.

Very very bad Service tonight, poor quality of food very poor quality of customer service my Team leader tonight.

Staff are a joke getting kicked out for doing absolutely nothing wrong wasn't harming anybody whatsoever and wouldn't even give me my £13 that I paid back. Thieves🖕🤣🤣🤣🤣

Went for there steak offer very disappointed asked for medium and medium rare came out blue and uncooked complained but we were neither listened to definitely wouldn't recommend

First time in this pub was really impressive food was good and not expensive.seemed to have an good atmosphere will certainly be back.next time in the area

No Sunday lunch so I had a healthy jacket potato with vegetables good safe atmosphere

Typical spoons but was very nice. Tables cleared and cleaned quickly which is amazing for wetherspoons. Nice friendly staff. Wud recommend and definitely return

Poor table cleanliness.Rarely been in and not have to clear glasses or dirty plates and never ever seen tables wiped...needs money spent on deco and carpets

I’m a big Wetherspoons fan and visit different ones regularly and usually get good service but I visited here last night and ordered food. The pizza I got was soggy and uncooked underneath but really tough to cut around the edges and I couldn’t eat it. When the woman came to clear it away she asked if I’d finished and I said I had but couldn’t eat it as it was undercooked. She said she would mention it. We were sat just outside the room where they clear the plates off and receive the food from the kitchen above so I saw her clearly throw it in the bin and not mention to anyone hence my poor rating here. In my local spoons they would have refunded without hesitation. Poor service here. Training required.

Can't complain at all fantastic

A lovely wetherspoon in a nice town

friendly relaxing helpful kind staff resonal prices

Went to weatherspoons there was 4 of us for ghe derby newcastle and Sunderland. We ordered 3 breakfasts which where great i ordered a cheese burger and chips the burger was tiny half a cheese slice 4 tint bits of onion it was cold and 9 chips on the plate everybody laughed and said a happy meal from mcdonalds was better .i hate mcdonalds but they where right ghe waitress put the breakfast down with cutlery then went and got mine and brought it and left mo cutlery.never again will i eat there again

Food was lovely. Great atmosphere 👌 we will definitely be back

our food was brilliant and we didn’t have to wait long at all, service staff were very friendly towards us

Just a shower ...... Bar staff where all up in the air when ordering food. So use the app the you have proof of what you ordered. Shame its in a nice area of the country.

Not the best food ,hot and spicy chicken ,the chicken was not cooked and slimy in the middle very few chips ,so not the best experience

It's a wetherspoons so you kinda know what your getting into. This establishment is stylish. Well maintained and the service is fantastic. I ordered a series of small dishes with my partner. They arrived very quickly. The freshness of the chicken strips and halloumi was unreal. The dipping sauce was amazing. £14 for a big bottle of prosecco is also a win.

Banging food, and the staff were great

Such a lovely pub fantastic staff

We came here as a family for food, and it was just lovely. We'd never been to this spoons before and can honestly say that it was probably the nicest we'd been in. Lovely interior, lovely staff and great food! Would definitely come back :)

This is a cosy pub with great staff. Can't thank Cindy enough for helping me find the Gluten Free items for next time we go there to eat. Gave a 5* for food as the options are not so limited.

Good pub food and drink for cheaper than most.

My friend and I had lunch here on Sunday. We had the smaller portions and it was just enough.

Been open for a wile now and slowly the quality is going downhill for service, staffing, food, delivery of food, cleaness, decoration, untidiness. If you want to visit for drink only then you should be fine.

Weatherspooons cheap and cheerful. Food ok, edible . Pub was so full found it hard to find a table. This was a wednesday so imagine what its like on a saturday, so quite noisy, but obviously popular. Toilets lovely, and decor nice throughout

Fantastic service and food a comfortable place to sit and enjoy a drink and catch up with friends

Place was ram packed, struggled to get a seat. It's a small pub with the usual Wetherspoons food and drink, nothing special.

Great place for a chat with friends, good food and plenty of coffee.

A busy local pub. Good value breakfasts

Friendly staff, quick service, nice 'hot' food and a decent guest ale. Ticked all the boxes. 👍

What a nice Place! Breakfast is @ very faire prices. Everything seems fresh made.

Great prices food not as good. .as usual

Wasn't aware you can book a table at this pub. Sat down ordered drinks and meal then staff came and put a A4 piece of paper on my table saying reserved at 3pm. Time was 2.15pm so i said we won't be finished put it on the nearby table. Was informed the people like to sit there . Well were already in the seat!!!! With our order. Sure enough 2 very rude people arrived at 3pm told us they like this table and will we move . Obviously we didn't and said they can wait until we finish and sit on another table a foot away. Very unfortunate spoiling my lunch as I'm a regular too. Not happy. Think I will reserve table 33 seems popular.

Taken here for a meal recently. Food average, nothing special. If you're trying to impress who youre with - well - you won't!! Ok atmosphere. Service however was friendly & fast. All the young staff were lovely & couldnt have been more helpful. However there are much nicer pubs with the same priced meals that are far better in decor/atmosphere.

Love this place cheep & cheerful but 5 year old great nephew loves it Going to the pub with his uncle 😂

Only two overworked staff on duty at lunchtime 20-September,03....did a great job in a nearly full pub...

Potion sizes have decreased. I was missing part of my meal then when the rest came it was still missing bits. Prices higher but portions smaller.

Lovely oldy world Spoons. Food quick, and hot. Gotta be the nicest chips I've had at a Wetherspoons. Floor is wood and old stone. It goes well with the vibe.

Lovely breakfast excellent staff

Soooo.... you raise the price and reduce the portions? I quite liked the ham and mushroom pizza. Now they cut the ham into pieces. You still get about 8 pieces of ham. Only now those 8 pieces are the equivalent of 1 of the original pieces. After complaining I was made a fresh pizza, only to be served the same pathetic portioning. Baring in mind that the price has increased by 50%! Disgusting. I will no longer be a weatherspoons patron. This review is not aimed specifically at Cramlington. The staff and service there is brilliant. This is a review of weatherspoons greed, in general.

Food not top notch but is cheap and not too bad. Pizzas are lovely tho
