It's a spoons. But the food is better than alot of the other ones.

One of only two spoons on the Isle of Wight. Pretty much your standard spoons with an upstairs eating area but I couldn't see any outside. The staff were lovely, the food wonderful and the Guinness was excellent.

Wetherspoons we're great today. Thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent there. The food was good and the beers were nice and chilled. The hot chocolate could've been hotter, but it still tasted good. We still enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere. Thanks.

A good, basic Spoons. Can be noisy, with a few people constantly talking without volume control -quieter upstairs. Staff nice and quick service. The Man in the Moon (Newport) has a more impressive interior. Not sure that there's much competition in Ryde? Very nice today, 21st of October. Happy Monday, two Shipyards £4.50!!!

We all know that spoons are spoons… but… we had a good experience here. Sat upstairs, (moved tables due to one being pretty sticky and a bit grim) but next table good. Ordered food for 5 adults and 1 kid on the app… 3 of my kids need adult portions and it came to £42… can’t beat that for price! The drinks came within about 3 minutes and the food came within 10. All the food was nice, hot and the waiter was very friendly. Toilets were clean. It did everything we needed it to before we jumped on the ferry.

S.Flower and Co in Ryde offers a classic Wetherspoon experience with a lively atmosphere and affordable, reliable pub food. The historic building adds charm, and the spacious interior provides a comfortable setting. Service is efficient, and the varied menu ensures something for everyone, making it a convenient spot for a casual meal.

We thought we would pop into this Weatherspoons for a quick bite to eat. But that was a mistake. The first issue was no option but to sit at a dirty table, it wasn’t wiped the entire time we were there. Second issue was finding lipstick on my fresh glass of Pepsi, I wasn’t wearing any lipstick 🤢. This made me feel truly sick. I had to wait quite some time to get attention from the bar staff to get a fresh drink due to queues at the bar and lack of staff. I did get an apology once seen. Third issue was the time it took for our food to come out. Considering we ordered on the app it felt particularly slow. Forth issue was being virtually thrown our food once it came out, so much so it nearly fell off the plate. The staff member couldn’t have been less friendly or cared less. We couldn’t wait to leave this place and walk home (we are locals). We didn’t have high expectations but it fell way below what I consider acceptable.

Brilliant Wetherspoons! Incredibly fast service and the food was very good. Everything was delicious, and the service was second to none! We ordered drinks and meals on our phones. The drinks arrived within 2mins and the food was very quick! The staff were friendly. It had a great atmosphere for the Euro Semi Finals. Unfortunately, the only downside was the awful quality TV. Come on Wetherspoons! It was pretty poor.

Dropped in for the afternoon special and was disappointed with some of the "cooking". We had fish, chips and mushy peas and ham, egg and chips, both came with a drink as part of the offer. It appeared to be very good value, £9 each, but the execution left a lot to be desired. The chips were mushy and the mushy peas were tasteless. The fish was overcooked for my preference, but the batter was very good. The biggest gripe of all, why do these places think real ale should be served chilled to within an inch of its life, nasty. all in all, nothing really wrong that could not be put right, just check your food occasionally to ensure it is being cooked correctly.

I didn't eat so haven't given any stars for something I didn't test out so to speak. I went in during a very busy time downstairs was full, but didn't have to wait to be served. There was plenty of room upstairs, so if you glance in and it looks full chances are there's room upstairs. It also has a lift.

One of the best for service and food - despite some reviews being poor, our experience was great. On arrival it was packed out but found a table upstairs, customers were quite loud, but expected when so busy. Placed order, collected drinks - I timed food arrival from the time I got back to my table -7 minutes! Food was good, a beef madras curry one of the best we had at a JDW. During the time I was ordering - the table had been wiped down, I noticed a blonde young lady (dragonfly tattoo?) doing a very thorough clean up job at used tables, wiping menus and keeping condiments tidy and hygenic. We had to comment on this as it’s pretty unusual to see such attention to cleaning tables. All staff working in serving area doing a great job, wish they were as attentive at my regular Spoons!- staff a credit to this busy branch- Thanks Guys.

Even a good weatherspoons is only worth around a 3star review, but this was not a good one at all so it gets a 1, I understand before it was a pub it was a different business that burnt to the ground, maybe that would be best for this pub. You used to accept the quality and urine soaked floors because it was cheap, but it's no longer cheap enough to accept this.

Anyone that enjoys the "spoons" experience should check this out. Like other branches, they offer the "freedom breakfast" so I can have a gluten free option without fuss and the usual great value. I have been here on many occasions. Staff always helpful and efficient. Breakfast is definitely cooked better here than other "spoons" that I have visited on the island. For those of you that have not ventured inside a wetherspoons ....this is a good one to visit for first timers. Upstairs is sometimes a little quieter so worth going up there before selecting your table! Update:- Still good as gold.

Awful experience with the security staff outside ... the taller leaner doorman on the front tonight (29/3/24) was very aggressive towards me and made me feel very uncomfortable for no apparent reason. I was waiting for my friend to come in and he shouted step aside repeatedly and then said Do you have a problem....? Do you have a f***ing problem? I was just stood waiting for my friend and I am a regular to the pub. I find it ironic that the security is there to make you feel safe but they did quite the opposite. On my way out I mentioned to the man in question that he made me feel very uncomfortable and his reply was you and your friend are barred! Don't come here again.... very disappointed with this situation tonight... I did report it to the manager but feel it won't go any further. I asked for the name of the security company but the manager said he doesn't know which is strange. I heard other customers complaining about the aggressive doorman tonight too, I hope something is done about this. Those doorman should not be in employment as they are not equipped to carry out their job role in a professional manner.... you will lose many customers this way. As the manager of a popular seaside restaurant in Ryde I hope these men never come by our way as they will be refused service on arrival. Very disturbing behaviour indeed!!!

I am a single male and felt very uncomfortable during a recent midweek evening visit. I sat in one of the booths upstairs. In the booth next to me were two “giggling girls” who for some reason kept leaning over the booths in my direction and laughing. I overheard them admitting to be underage and were planning on going onto another venue in town which was “free entry before 10pm”. The whole experience was very uncomfortable for me. There are lots of posters around the pub for “I am Angela” but what about men??

I visited this afternoon for a drink whilst exploring the town. I ordered a pint of guest ale and a flavoured gin and tonic. The bar person poured the gin into a measure right to the brim, as she should, it is an exact measure, the clue is in the name, a measure. I then saw her pour a little of the gin from the measure into a clean glass and pour the remainder into the glass that was served to me with ice. I asked why she had done that, she replied that she had overfilled the measure, I tried to explain about the measure, she didn’t agree. The lady manager was nearby, when I pointed out what had happened, the reply was “She is new, I didn’t see anything” The manager poured the small amount of gin in the second glass into the glass served to me. All this made me think, are staff told not to fill the measure to the top as is required BY LAW.

You know what to expect at Wetherspoons, but this wasn’t it! Breakfast took 30 mins to come out in a half empty restaurant, normally the service of this brand is quick and efficient. Eggs were stone cold and congealed, sent them back. Second effort (now over 40 mins) was better. Both breakfast attempts we were offered came with only one set of cutlery and first breakfast came with dry toast and no butter! Woman behind the bar was snappy and unhelpful when we asked for another knife and fork. The staff here are truly awful; they could not care any less! The entire place needs a deep clean or a refurbishment and some Staff need retraining/ replacing. We know it isn’t the Ritz and that everything is geared to a price, but this was poor by any standards. Doubt Sir Tim cares one way or the other, but please get a grip!

Went on a Sunday before going to the ciniworld on the complex. Waited 40 minutes for two pizza and 2 garlic bread with cheese. Pizza turned up 1st ( stone cold ) followed by starters 10 minutes later ( stone cold ) and I had encouraged the other two members of the party to eat at pizza hut because of my experience on the mainland. Obviously this was a bad idea , I would have thought as a chain they would all be the same or similar, how wrong was I. DONT waste your money or your time in this place , you'd probably find a hotter and more nutritional meal in a McDonald's waste food bin.

We had a super Sunday lunch here after strolling through the botanical gardens. the chef Michael Jackson (yes, really!) cooked a delicious roast beef for my husband & did a special sea bass for me. Very attentive service from friendly staff & really good wine by the glass in pleasant surroundings, with the sun streaming into the restaurant.

Popped in for a quick lunch with a toddler and unfortunately the experience was very poor. Fish and chips were inedible - dripping in grease. Roasted veg panini, asked to be warmed and came back deconstructed and floppy. Every coffee cup was dirty and cutlery was grubby too. Thankfully they offered a refund but didn’t seem to want to listen to why we were unhappy - a big shame as sister store in Lake is always good.
