A basic pub. The food was served very quickly and was piping hot. Excellent value for money if you want a quick meal but not somewhere to linger, in my opinion.

For the first time - ever - the staff are sectioning-off areas of the Admiral Byng pub! We attempted to sit by the window, only to find chairs had been placed to obstruct the whole area. When we asked the guy behind the bar why we weren't 'allowed' to sit where we've been sitting for years, he said it was a new rule, to save the wait-staff from walking. Are they that lazy? I would really love to know...

Great experience. Best steak I've ever had in a pub. Friendly service from all staff except a member who could have been management or owner, who for some reason thought it smart to waltz in and out of the kitchen without washing hands or at covering shoes etc. Rest of the team: amazing job all around.

Went for a birthday lunch but got turned away by a new manager as we had our family dog with us. There was no one sitting outside but we were told it was their policy that dogs were not allowed inside or out. We have previously been before with our dog and have never been refused. We are supposed to be a dog friendly society and i cannot see any problem with a dog sitting outside. Instead of worrying about dogs they should perhaps clean up their outside areas where a dog, if they were allowed, would sit. Shame on you Wetherspoons.

Went for a breakfast today and whilst I appreciate the pub was busy, the service was awful. Food was cold and came out haphazardly or was missing. Heard other customers complaining about the same issue too. Waitress did her best but was run off her feet, and seemed to have no support and appeared to be working on her own. When we spoke to the manager he clearly wasn't interested in what we had to say, and again I appreciate that he was busy but his attitude was not acceptable. We will not return to this particular Wetherspoons again.

Had a lunch date with my gorgeous family, the food was good but bloody slow! There was a good selection for my veggie husband but we waited nearly an hour for our food! My darling children didn’t complain and finished their plates, wish they would do that at home lol! I miss the old days when you would speak to an actual person, didn’t enjoy the app ordering. Signal was poor so ended up pressing the button twice and ordering two rounds of drinks, silly cow I am! Overall wasn’t a bad experience, would recommend ordering at the bar!

My spicy chicken and rice was actually lovely , dirty burger and chips looked a bit lost , two curries ok , popadoms not really that edible , should have asked for replacement . All in all very good value for money , let’s face it you know what your getting . Probably one of the better Weather Spoons that I have been in to , better clientele than some .

You know roughly what you are going to get with a wetherspoons, whilst this is not one of the repurposed buildings it is not a pub that has been around for hundreds of years so it suffers as a retail outlet below flats with only one wall with any natural light which isn't bad in summer as all the windows open to let air in but is dark and dingy in the winter months

Very understaffed as usual - Every time I come here with my Daughter I have to wait 5 minutes+ in the entrance just to be acknowledged, and the staff seem very oblivious to anything that’s going on in the restaurant.
