A smaller Spoons and this one was rammed for a midweek afternoon. Seemed very popular though and clearly a winner for the folk of Chorley.

Update on the worst spoons in the country.Mr Tim Martin you need to visit this example of your empire.No ladies toilets again,use the single disabled toilet downstairs full of gents pee,happy days !!!! This pub has had these problems ongoing for ever.Fellower spooners let me know your thoughts ,let’s have a vote on the worst spoons in the country.In my opinion Sir Henry Tate.This one takes some beating, believe me.

the waiter on the first floor openly ignored us, after a personal appeal and oven 2 approaches to the bar counter, he still did not manager to come within 15 minutes after complaining about him to the manager, I am not sure that any measures were taken, since the manager himself reluctantly apologized - as if we still owed him. Tables are wiped only an urgent request, repeated 2-3 times, and all this when the restaurant was a quarter full.

Oh dear! We regularly bob in for breakfast and usually it’s ok to good for a quick and easy breakfast fix, however this morning was terrible! We ordered one veggie and one vegan breakfast. After 30 mins we went to check on where our food was as usually service is fast and the pub was very quiet today. They had allocated our food to the wrong table and returned it to the kitchen. Literally a minute after us checking, the food arrived, having clearly been sat under heat lamps all the time after they had taken it to the wrong table. Surely someone could have asked the very few people around the pub if they had ordered food and surely you don’t then serve stone cold meals that have already sat for some time under lamps. The plates were hot, the food VERY cold, skinned over and wrinkled. The toast cold and rock hard. We then noticed that they had place butter packs on both meals including the vegan one. We went to ask for vegan spread. The veggie went to use all the butter packs and discovered they had fully melted, having also clearly being under the heat lamps and emptied all over the food - in the case of the vegan meal they had fully emptied onto the hash brown, which was not obvious until you knew to look. Hash browns could not then be eaten by the vegan diner. Milk is an allergen and very dangerous to those who are intolerant, this just shouldn’t happen!! Really very disappointing and potentially dangerous to serve food of this standard and without any due diligence regarding allergies!

Went lunch time Saturday. The place was busy. But there were lots of empty tables filled with dirty glasses and plates. No one was clearing them. Lights down low I guess to hide how dirty it all is. Sat at a table and cleared it ourselves after 20 minutes of waiting. Ordered food and drink on the app. Pints took 25 minutes to arrive. Food about 45 minutes. Was was OK. Nothing special. There are nicer / cleaner pubs to eat at.

Lazy, rude, unhelpful staff. Waited more than 10mins at the bar to be served, cash card in hand, whilst staff stood chatting to friends. Myself & several others waiting were amazed that this was going on. When I complained to a surly member of staff I was told it was my fault as I hadn’t “shouted”. Plenty of other pubs in the area with staff who want to serve you rather than conduct their social lives whilst getting paid.

Highlighted this to staff who replied "I don't know what to tell you" he then shrugged and looked towards the kitchen. Coffee ok but highlight of the visit was clean toilets.

Hello, I’d like to say I come to Henry tate quite a bit, in fact I enjoy coming for a few drinks and the occasional dance. However, on this occasion, Megan the security guard becanae quite aggressive towards me having a good time. I shouted across to my friend and she threatened to throw me out. There was no need for this level on anger and I am quite upset by her outburst as “I am a very reasonable and respectable person. I thought her tone and aggression was out of order and very upsetting. I am now very wary of entering this establishment again.

Appalling place. Happy to take our money for two hours and serve drinks, come 9pm some mouthy staff member decided one of the group looked too young (she had been serving us food and drinks our entire visit). Then some mouthy young security bloke came took out drinks and told us to leave, when another security bloke had already said their was no problem that he could see. Pity really, most staff were very helpful and friendly. I’m 61 and confined to a wheelchair both my friends are over 25 and look it. We were quiet and respectful the entire time. Want an enjoyable night out in Chorley with no drama, avoid this place. A few pig ignorant staff and even worse security.

It was Good Friday when we caught the bus over to Chorley to walk round Astley Park and have lunch at Wetherspoons. It was busy as their pubs often are, but we weren't very impressed that it took at least three quarters of an hour to order and receive our meals. I had small fish, chips and mushy peas and my husband had the large portion – we had no problem with the meals and enjoyed them. I don't know what had happened, either the Manager had underestimated how many staff they would need or he had difficulty finding enough staff to work efficiently. There were other people asking what had happened to their meals.

We just had the worst breakfasts ever, most of it was luke warm to cool, my large breakfast mushrooms were actually cold, the bacon and egg were dripping in oil, the warmest part of it were the beans and they were only warm and the toast was burnt on one side. I sent mine back and waited 10 minutes before I went to the hatch to see where it was and found it sitting underneath the heat lamp, that breakfast was no warmer and still the mushrooms were cold. The reason why we went here was because we got a great breakfast here a few months ago but we won't be back. In their favour service was good from Vinnie before I sent it back.

Restaurant has significantly declined compared to past experiences over the years. Musty damp smell as you walk in 3/4 Empty restaurant on what should be the peak time (this in itself isn’t an issue however was not a good indication of things to come). Waited over an hour for food in an empty restaurant despite asking twice where it was. Food arrived cold, burnt and inedible The only reason this got a poor rating over terrible is because the staff were nice. It’s like they accept they know things are awful but it is out of their hands. Didn’t complain about the food as the overall ethos I felt that this was not worth doing as nothing would be acted upon. I only give constructive feedback in person if I feel it’s helpful and will be acted on. This pub feels like the decline is so bad, it’s not worth complaining in person. I’m only posting here so other people don’t waste their time and money. Only restaurant meal we have ordered takeaway to collect on way home whilst our meal is in front of us. We saw the funny side and laughed for 20 minutes about this. We consider this experience a lesson learned, £40 odd quid of education and to never come here again.
