Typical Witherspoon's good value food with pleasant staff, suggest the staff tap the coffee machine screen as they walk past to see all working.Big issue with the app payment system, often says you need to find alternative means of payment, that order not received, so one orders again pays by other means, then findout you have ordered twice. Ensure you clear your orders once staff confirm it's been received.

My latest visit here, the service was quite remarkable - more something i would expect at Rick Steins' - maybe Mr Martin has sent them all to charm school! Smaller selection of real ales than the Spoons a few doors away, food was served quickly and efficiently. Tables were all clean etc..

Usual wetherspoons , however I rated the service low because the staff seemed to be in a world of their own customers waiting to be served but the staff busy talking with each other and when they finally decide they want to serve I find it annoying that rather serve those who have been waiting a while they serve the one customer who waltzes up and mediately gets served 😡

Usually decent food in this Spoons but the American cheeseburger I had the other day was pretty poor. A sad little burger bun on my plate with the measliest amount of ketchup and what I think was meant to be American cheese. Served with the grand total of 12 chips. Spoons isn't the value it used to be and certainly not with portions like that.

Always enjoy visiting, The food I have had is of an acceptable standard for the price you pay. The wait times are slightly longer than I would like. The service is good. My only drawback is the size of the venue to the staff ratio. They do their best to get there as fast as they can. The atmosphere is always amazing regardless of the time. Great place.

Was enjoying a lovely little pitcher until a bouncer stormed over and got a guy from the table next to us in an arm bar. All good entertainment until they kicked us out too saying we were on our third warning (wasn’t doing anything wrong, also not associated with the guy who initially got kicked out). Bouncers of Lloyds: Dana White isn’t gonna recruit you doing restraint manoeuvres on some random charva in a spoons. Have a word with yourselves.

Freshly cooked Thai food, quality ingredients, friendly service and super tasty. Been coming here for 8 years if not more and it's too damn cheap! For all those who have no patience, it's not fast food and isn't meant to be, if you want rubbish get to Gregg's or McDonald's, or have a bit of patience and wait. Small kitchen and 20 covers and 1 cook!
