Sir Norman Wisdom in Dover

Love this place. So friendly with good food at good prices.

A lovely excellent pub with great service and the history about Norman wisdom thanks

Good food, quick food to the table and good service

Very busy, food was as expected, tasty and quick. Tables very sticky though, didn't see much cleaning anywhere there!

Brought wrong order out then sausages missing from the brunch. Out of the 3 meals only one was correct so waiting around to eat while the correct meal went cold

Great cheap pub good food and cheap drink

Good food good service good prices

Very poor range of beer on tap. I dont expect to have to buy a can cos there's nothing decent on tap. Sticky table. Slow service at bar. Didn't enjoy visit.

You get what you pay for breakfast was what I expected

More than mediocre cuisine. Really disappointed when I see the comments. I hesitated when I had to pay the bill, €30 for 4 drinks included. It's not expensive but the quality isn't there at all. Fortunately the service is good, the people are nice

Great overall aroma in the atmosphere, plus amazing coffee

Called in for breakfast. Very good value, £17.50 for 2 adults and 2 children. Portion sizes good, as was the bottom less tea/coffee/chocolate. Good selection of dishes. Will go again

Popped in here to have a meeting with my supervisor, on entrance was surprised by how busy it was for 11am, had a little look at the menu and was actually pleasantly surprised by the prices. Everything is cheap and cheerful. If I was not on a work meeting and the fact I had to drive home, I would have had a drink lol. Nice atmosphere, check it out it's great :)

I had egg shell in my food and did not get the food I asked for. The service was quite poor from both servers we had today I found them to be quite rude. The food taste great though, when I got what I asked for.

Cane for quick lunch. Ordered on app- drinks and food arrived promptly. I had fish and chips and husband had cauliflower/ spinach curry. Both meals were of a very good standard and tasty! Also cost was £22 for meals plus drink each so exceptional value! Probrably twice the price elsewhere! Service was excellent-😃 thankyou team wetherspoon @ Deal! 👍👍👍

Great ales on offer at fantastic prices , great place to meet friends 😁

Called in for a drink on my tour around the area spoons but slightly disappointing regarding information about Norman Wisdom

It's a Spoons, cheap drink, average food, usual lack of atmosphere. Staff good though.

It's a OK place good prices on food and beer not to keen on the rear of premises as its all neon and quite cold and there is a constant draft which if you are sat in the right place your food will go cold very quickly, I stress this is not the fault of the employees who try their best.

One of the cleanest Spoons I've visited. And that includes the customers.

Lovely cheap pint of Ghost Ship ...

Amazing value breakfast and plenty of coffee for just over £4. Costs nearly £4 just for a mediocre coffee in Starbucks,

Bud light at £1.99 a pint is a bargain. Really busy here from 1200-1400. Lots of people coming in but no tables available. We got a table by the door & there was a constant flow of people. Really popular with families and the elderly folk. Kids were running around, screaming & dodging in and out of the tables. We even had passers by banging on the windows (children). Pretty classy place. Loved the Norman Wisdom references. Number 72. Won't be back though.

Why put chairs on tables 2 and a half hours before closing? You are deterring customers FFS

A great choice of gins for a gintastic price.Tried the Bathtub gin which knocked my socks off. Delicious. Delicious new Korean food added to menu.

A reasonable pub with a variety of seating options. At the front the cafe style seating gives views of the outside. In the middle the pub is more cozy. At the back the bar opens out into a high ceilinged eating drinking area. The pizza and curry served were good. This also has a reasonable selection of real ales.

Food was hot but have had better chips. Scampi were kind of gritty.

9 September, noon. The app doesn't work and "no fish and chips today, mate". what a shame!

We used the Pub for retirement reunions. The outside space is great in the summer and autumn. Good food and drink at very sensible prices.

Usual 'Spoons' fare, all good though.

Just your average Spoons (that is not a criticism). You know what you're going to get - standard pub food, and a good selection of drinks, at very affordable prices.

Nice but not as good as some wetherspoons

I don't mind wetherspoons .. for cheap drinks and although the food is not the best quality you wouldn't expect it at their prices. I really like they reuse old buildings with careful restoration reserving many original features.

Well I discovered the £1.90 pint and even for spoons this is cheap. I liked the size of the space and the vibes were not bad.

Great value and serves a sector of the community that deserve a beer or eat out now and again, friendly staff , great prices , interesting locations .

Typical weatherspoons. You know what you get

Food is good as always. Great value for money.

Managers Special mixed grill very nice and a pint less less than £11 what's not to like.

Nice and clean. Welcoming staff. Great service. Good food. Comfortable atmosphere for people of all ages.

It's ok but....... Characterless.

Highly recommend the new Korean chilli chicken with chips.

Few extra chips would have been nice! Counted 15 on the plate! Food arrived before drinks very poor, when it's always been good on previous occasions, hence downgrade in score!

Been there few times.often ends a vist to Deal. Friendly staff. Personally one best wetherspoons I know.

Food ok. Good vibe. Busy staff brilliant

Euro football finals day. Popped in for dinner. Food is quick and ok. As with all fast food cafés and restaurants, the customer turnover is fast and high and therefore the little things get missed, like cleaning the floor beneath the tables of food from earlier customers and wiping down the tables. Otherwise ok.

Staff very helpful and tables cleaned straight away ,good food and drinks ,good to take my family if you don't want to spend a fortune 😁

I quite like Spoons and admire their enthusiasm and entrepreneurial spirit, but I draw the line on the invention of the "Stone Cold Big Breakfast". Everything on the plate was stone cold, which means it was cooked some time before I ordered it or the kitchen is a different town. I will say the service was good and the pub in general looked clean and tidy but the breakfast was an Iceberg that could have sunk the Titanic.

Food was lovely prices were good all round good 👍 experience

You can’t really beat it can you? Atmosphere, cheap drinks if you’re smart, what else could you ask for in my opinion. Everyone should go to deal spoons, it’s a must do for all locals and travellers alike.

Foods not too bad for the price

Great meeting place for breakfast

Great wetherspoons,you know what your getting here 👍😊

On holiday in the area and looked for a Weatherspoons. The food was as usual very good and great value foroney.Only drawback was finding somewhere to park.Finished up a long long way away and had a 10 minute walk before and after mral

I've been working abroad for many years and returned back to area for 6 months in between contracts. Spoons in Deal is lovely safe place staff are great. Nat. George & Pete are especially friendly and welcoming they are a great asset to the business.

Typical Weatherspoons in that you know what they serve and how it works. Went here to meet up with friends for lunch. Had nice lunch (I had Lemon and herb chicken with mash, peas and gravy) and pudding (millionaires shortbread - a bit small!) and then stayed chatting for hours. No one moved us on even though we did not buy anymore drinks.

It's a weather spoons. Can't complain. Prices good. Service good and food good. Wasn't wow amazing but was as expected. Would go back. Seemed clean and looked trendy. Not too busy.

Popped in for some food and drinks with the family. The place was filthy, disorganised and staff hygiene is questionable at best.

We have visited this Wetherspoons before but were disappointed with the burgers this time. My beefburger was tasteless and burnt. The chicken was better. Service was quick but led me to believe that the food was prepared in a hurry. The staff were friendly. The toilet facilities were good.

Typical Weatherspoons, food well priced, served quickly and efficiently. Choice of cask beers at very reasonable price. Not the place for fine dining but when needs must they are O.K.

I always like coming in here either for a drink, a meal or a snack.

Usual Wspoons but a bit cramped for space. Not one of their best.

Small....but perfectly formed! Quick service of food, at all times of day - prompt, friendly service at the bar. It's my local!....thank God, it's a good 'un.

The best weatherspoons in the area!

All the usual wetherspoons specials good beer great prices friendly barstaff

Always great for a coffee or a beer

Staff ,manager behavior is very Good 💯 I'm 💯 percent satisfied

Me and family came here for some lunch It was busy as usual but we found a table to accommodate the staff were friendly and helpful and food came fast We had a range of meals from steak to pasta and chicken and burger meals there was eight of us The food was very good presented well very clean and at a fantastic price even the drinks were a good price I would definitely be back.

Nice place for a reasonably priced lunch and a drink.

Great food in modern pub, quickly served.

Not many people in. Did not have any food. Was tempted, had already made previous arrangement.

Typical Wetherspoons, food always good, service not that good, always young loud adults drinking too much and making the experience unpleasant

Decore was like a school canteen vs a youth club.

So much better than the Dover one

Really good breakfast today at 8-30 am. plates could have been warmer but breakfast was nicely cooked.

Cheap food, zero atmosphere, cold burger. Not very impressed.

Popped in for a breakfast here on Saturday 30/4/24. Eggs benedict was cooked to perfection, refill tea is always value for money . Staff were polite and efficient. Pub was clean and tidy despite it being fairly busy. Toilets were very clean and well maintained ( seen other Weatherspoons in need of updating and cleaning).Family friendly and reasonably priced

One of the better Wetherspoons. Clean and not too noisy despite the cavernous back room.

It's the best branch! 👍👍👍👍👍 The cleanest branch with the kindest staff in a beautiful building. They serve quickly enough. Both coffee machines are working. (While many Wetherspoon buildings are beautiful, but most branches are dirty, and the coffee machines often do not work properly due to overcrowding and insufficient staff.)

Very bright and vibrant bar looks very new

Not my regular chain but came here during a break in lockdown. Impressed so returned. Not disappointed. Really good, friendly staff, even when busy. Food comes hot & quickly,even if busy. Clean & very well managed pub in the heart of a lovely town. Have returned 3 times since original post. Still good . All the above still apply

Hello, this was my first time coming out for a while, all I ever wanted was a pint of corona but then all of a sudden, I was denied, rejected, ignored and forgotten about and left for the gallows. I felt like an unwanted piece of rubbish. Being manipulated and gaslit by the unwilling and not reasonable staff members, forcing them I am not lying and that I have been charged. My world crumbled around me as I waited for what felt like an eternity for no end result, shame on you weather spoons.

Nice meal. nice beer ( and cheap !) nice atmosphere.....nice! Can not fault anything...and as Sir Norman is a beloved British institution ..what more can one say

Great branch of weather spoons, staff were really friendly and helpful, food was served swiftly, I was very happy with what I ordered. All in all one of the best I've been to

At last they have a cook who can cook eggs

Good food Good beer friendly staff

Actually looked nothing like photos... ordered food but they had NO SALT! Had run out of salt 🤷‍♀️ not being funny but never heard of such a huge establishment running out of salt! Bizzare and def made a difference to food!

They bought out my breakfast but didn't even clear away the previous customers dirty cups/glass I don't expect much from a wetherspons but that's disgusting

Extremely busy, but had a lovely atmosphere, enjoyed a nice lunch 😀

Did not eat. Bar and tables very dirty, so unlike a Spoon's pub. Would normally stay for a few drinks and a light bite. Maybe caught then at an off moment .... unlikely to return to this one again.

Went to weatherspoons yesterday evening. I ordered a fried buttermilk chicken burger with chips. Not even half way through my burger I noticed it was completely raw in the middle. And now today I’m completely ill. They need to make sure their food is actually cooked before they serve it to people. I do not recommend.

Food already cooked. Toast burnt, hash browns hard and eggs not properly cooked.

I visit this whetherspoons on a regular basis, and I couldn't believe how unprofessional the staff were, swearing infront of customers, banging glasses & chairs around, throwing menus about, not 'putting' glass in the bottle bins throwing them in so they smashed, having inappropriate conversations loud enough for customers to hear, aswell as telling the chefs how to do their job, also whilst talking/shouting on the in ear head sets , a bald man with white shirt and black tie on and a young girl with blonde hair spoke to me very ubruplty at the till. Slammed my drink down in front of me. None of the staff were acting like they wanted to be there as clearly they don't care about their job. Other customers also noticed the unproffessional behaviour, it was clearly making people feel uncomfortable. I didn't recognise any of the staff working, the staff that they normally have working are amazing and friendly. It would put me off going in future, as I'm sure others would agree from that evening.

It's a wetherspoons so never going to be fantastic food But staff good and food good and cheap

Love this spoons. Clean place and friendly staff. Lots of seating options too

Sadly, food of late, especially breakfast, when quiet, has been warm, not appetising, Bar Syaff and waiting staff, all brilliant, just standards of food going downwards, raised with staff multiple times, and they don't seem shocked

Its a generic spoons experience

Excellent food drinks and atmosphere , the service was quick and the waitress was very friendly near the fully open , with it being hot Summers day sat by the fully opening window to pavement .

Had a breakfast (large breakfast and a pint of Stowford Press) and it was poor. The pint tasted of bleach and the food was bland, and both were delivered to the table with little bon homie. No atmosphere to speak of. I don't think a repeat visit is on the cards.

I wonder how often there is a QC check on the quality of food

Food could have been hotter ,warm plates , and eggs where over done ,egg white brown and crispy, and yolk solid .
