The Avion in Walsall

Very busy on an early Saturday evening. Bouncers were busy checking lots of youngsters IDs which was good to see. Place is looking somewhat tired and worn out, a big building but not a huge amount of seating really. Other than that, a normal Wetherspoon with a good choice of drinks and disappointing food that isn't really that cheap or much of it.

Bar Good, service good, food not so good.!

‘Spoons is what it is. Great value drinks and food, breakfast through dinner.

It's a Wetherspoons. You know what to expect and you know what's on offer.

Busy Friday evening struggled to find a table

We were there for breakfast early morning, the place it self isn't too bad, however the staff in the kitchen were messing around and gobbing off to one another which you could hear across the whole pub, which was quiet as it hadn't long been open. The breakfast was cold and the coffee put of the machine had a metallic taste.

Bar service was good, food however was ridiculously slow given that we could see how busy they were through the hatch (they weren't), they got 2 out of 3 orders wrong, people who ordered the same in our group but ordered after us got their food a good five minutes earlier and the fruit that they tried to give with the kids meal was so over ripe it wouldn't even be useful in banana bread. Been to many, many spoons in my time but this is the only one I would never return to.

Great atmosphere always busy good service and prices

Same as my last review about this place. February and still constant Aircon and no heating. Design of building means it is always cold and draughty. Not a pleasant place to visit unless you like sitting in a coat to keep warm. Also now very short staffed ,and very slow to clear tables,always looks a mess.

Lovely staff here and a great menu. Very good price. Beat bacon ever. Amazing choice of good priced drinks.

Nice staff and interesting building / decor.

Okish for a budget meal. Staff weren't very friendly.

Ordered from the steak Tuesday menu. Mixed grill very nice but 8oz steak with jacket potato didn't look appealing at all. Literally brown steak and brown potato on a dark blue plate! Needed a splash of colour like half a tomato or a handful of salt to make it look appetising. Food was OK but I was disappointed with how it was presented put me off the food a bit . Service was quick and staff friendly but don't think I'll be ordering the steak again.

Went there 26th Jan for late Burns night supper. At 12pm, the place was packed. Mostly families having brunch following sporting events(I guess). Found a table and had a couple of drinks before ordering the Burns specials. I had haggis tatties and nepes and the wife had Caledonian burger. It was as expected and on a cold day, the plates were hot. Enjoyed it there. Laid back and a friendly atmosphere.

We really enjoy the atmosphere there.

Myself and my wife and son called in for a meal and a drink around 4.30pm before heading back home to Oldbury. The old cinema had been kept with plenty of character and the food was good, but the only downside was that the main doors into the seating/dining area were pegged open and as it was so cold outside a very cold draught was blown through and it soon cools down your meal and body temperature!;!😔

As always with Wetherspoons great service & great prices.

More coffee machines. Both coffee machines were out of order for a while, so the que to get one when they started working was so long that they went out of order again, this happened too often

Noisy but right price needs music to entertain us

First visit to this pub, attended with a group of friends for drinks at lunch time. Large round but barman remembered every time someone went to bar. Huge selection of ales, could have done with more quality lagers but Bud was good. Brilliant value and those that ate were very happy with their food. Would recommend.

Cracking pub that tries its hardest to look after everyone that walks through the door. Who says Spoons are not the pub to be seen in? This pub is head and shoulders above some of the 'better class' pubs in the area!

Like all wetherspoons, always busy with great atmosphere. People chatting and laughing 😃 Unlike other pubs

Friendly enough bar prices a third of city bars

Reliably consistent good value. 👍

Went here with my loved ones... Enjoyed it... Memories was made 👌

Only visited for drinks, and there was a good selection. There is plenty of seating area (though Christmas busy). Good customer service.

Nice ambience, good food and lovely people.

Sunday afternoon, we popped in for some lunch and a couple of drinks. Those tables that were empty were piled high with dirty plates and glassess. We found a table and cleaned it ourselves. We ordered our food, when it arrived the katsu curry looked like a starter and my chargrilled half chicken was anemic, looked boiled and slimey, it had very seen a grill. The mash did not look appetising it had the look of been chewed and then spat out. The gravey was very lumpy and gelatanous, it certainly did not pour. All in all the worst meal I have ever had at any weatherspoon. Drinks only from now on forys

Good food good drinks friendly staff

This is a typical Wetherspoon's pub, food & service ok. The tables usually need cleaning but the drinks are cheap.

Fast, economical and fair food.

OK to pop in for a decent pub grub meal an a pint or tea coffee if you so desire

It's cheap it's good food and lots of drinks to choose from. Great for a visit after work or on evening with your mates

Rude member off staff. It was approaching leaving time and we booked our uber. Whilst waiting, he said i’ve been awake since half 6 lads, drink your drinks and f off. Disgusting.

famouslordhillmuseum party arrived the avion pub for lunch and beers having been out buying antiques vand oil paintings from large house in the area the burgers were good and wine and beer fresh nice pub for a visit our museum buys on line and sells on vinterior amazing lots bid and buy collectors love out outlet in Shropshire rated on line

Good starter pub.. no music or entertainment so great for meeting up and talking.. rammed at the weekends. Can be hard to get a table so go early. Drinks are very cheap £2.69 for lager, £3.82 double AU vodka and mixer. Quick table service from the app.. bar tends to be very busy. Loads of outdoor space. Toilets up 2 flights of stairs. We like it.

It’s our local and we visit frequently. Although there was a glitch with the mains tonight, I must say a massive thanks to Lauren La’Moon for resolving it quickly. Very happy kids x

Quick service and low prices like all wetherspoons

Good prices good range of beers

Great atmosphere, nice food, lovely staff.

8.30 Sunday morning, not many people in here , it’s always cold in the because the air con is always on , Had breakfast and it was cold , told waitress to her reply was I can warm it up , don’t want my food warmed up in microwave, I wanted it hot in the first place , under health and safety, cooked food not supposed to be warmed up in microwave ,

Good value meals .Alot include a drink

Restored cinema with historic features, nice layout, enjoy a evening out with workmates

I made a mistake with my order, I ordered Tennessee burger instead of Tennessee buttermilk chicken burger and my god what arrived looked like some form of boiled chicken. I said that wasn’t what I wanted but absolutely no chance of changing. Is this the only restaurant in the world that wouldn’t understand a customers mistake and rectify it? We had fish and chips as well , the fish was tiny and the chips were under cooked unfortunately no one asked me if my meal was okay after we rejected the burger so didn’t have the opportunity to complain. Well at least the beer was okay.

food didn't take long even on a busy day 👍👍

Good service at the bar. Usually crowded,and despite the ceiling to floor glass rear wall surprisingly dark. Never tried the food here but the chain manages to produce consistently good value throughout and it looks no different here. No l don't work for them just good value business model that works.

My usual Wednesday morning breakfast stop ,always a friendly smile and good service.

Its your standard spoons experience!!

Generally fine & friendly Wetherspoon for drink. Does get busy on Friday/ Saturday.

Very good service and excellent food

Another old cinema adapted in to a ‘spoons, and it’s lovely! Very art deco exterior, nice and modern interior. Breakfast cheap and good as ever. Parking available but easier to use Morrisons just behind.

I ordered from the extras menu as I am selective at Spoons, the fried egg was cold and hard, the mushrooms cold, black pudding was warm ish.. the toast arrived with no butter? The uninterested member of staff returned with the butter. As I had a while before my next appointment I endeavoured to source a warm coffee, that didn’t happen. Not a wonderful experience, but I’ve had worse.

Wetherspoons has lost my regular custom. Understaffed and no concept of customer care. My food sat under the hot lamps within sight for 10 mins while my friends ate their food. I asked for a fresh meal and they refused because it still was within the acceptable time and temperature. That’s not the first time we have had a long wait for some of the food to arrive. I asked for a refund and to speak to the manager. They refused and said the manager was extremely busy. So I’m £8 out of pocket and still hungry.

Good food Good prices brilliant service 👌

A friendly atmosphere can get very busy. A table can be difficult to find in busy times. Service is quick and always welcoming and friendly.

One of the nicer Wetherspoons in the midlands, repurposed cinema. Usual ‘spoons food and drink offer, in a pleasantly set out interior.

Lovely, helpful, attentive staff. Food was OK as expected for JDW.

Much better pub now the old manager has gone! The new guy is a real hard working guy, puts the past to shame, absolute credit to the pub

Another enjoyable wetherspoons ..plenty of space ...friendly staff ...and seating outside

Friendly staff always give a warm welcome with a pleasant atmosphere

Went and spent the day out with the other half. Had nice food and drink. Had a look around aldridge and then came back. Was nice sitting outside, tho shame. There isn't more room outside as lots of people wanted to sit outside due to the weather being so nice. The staff was lovely and funny.

A large Wetherspoons that's exactly as expected, good food for a fair price

Met up with a friend fir a catchbup and bite to eat. Food and service from staff was all great.

Love a wetherspoon . Food always cooked great . Hot .never had a issue .

Been here a couple of time. Seems a pretty good Spoons. Food comes quickly and cooked well. Can be a bit noisy in there as attracts families and sounds like a whacky warehouse. Best to sit closer to the front.

Amazing, huge cathedral like high ceilings, friendly staff.

Great Wetherspoons Always busy 🍻🍻

Lovley breakfast menu, didnt have to wait long on a busy day either.

Terrible service, on three different occasions, the food was not right. The 1st time I found a fly in the food, and the food was cold. The 2nd time the fork and knife were unwashed, and were wrapped in dirty napkins! (I informed the service staff immediately, and then they brought me a clean knife and fork) The 3rd time I ordered American cheeseburgers, and they brought us the wrong order, and also the food was COLD! Anyway, every time we come to this pub, the tables are always dirty, and the service staff never comes to clean it... I am very, very angry with this Pub! I hope that in the future, this Pub will be more careful in its organization and customer service!

Every time we go for food in Aldridge always start here met my parents in there it was there first time and they loved how busy it was

Good atmosphere with friends. Shame a few of them felt uncomfortable due to two fights within the bar. This was quickly managed by the security team though.

Is a very nice place. We had a few problems with our order but overall, we had good experiences.

Great beer good food a very large boozer only thing that let's it down is the acoustics and noise when full. Great food, some free on new app game and lovely beer, enjoyed it.

Just popped in for a late drink in this former cinema. Its an impressive setting with some reminders of its former use. Staff were friendly too.

Value food price and best bitter at the lowest price I've seen anywhere.

Quick service, good prices, everything you'd expect from a spoons. Sometimes struggle to find a table in peak times though

Stopped by for a late lunch, great food as usual and helpful staff. As always you know what you are getting when you go in and this is always a nice venue in this pub chain.

Doss hole. Check some of the kids identifications.

Very crowded, food could have been hotter, poor service. The worst Werherspoon I have visited. Will not visit this particular one again.

very good hot food and service

Don't bother. Went in day before new years eve, they had hardly any pulls stocked. Cack.

Greg top bloke. Ten out of ten. Enough said. Bosh

Voted best Wetherspoons in the Walsall area

Cold by doors as they don't close properly and folk leave them open!

Didn't eat but the ale was decent. Worrying lack of decent lagers in 'spoons at the moment. No reflection on this pub tho. Ceilings are 3 stories high, must cost a fortune to heat

Always lovely food and drink, good atmosphere and prices.

Great evening and good food. Waiting staff were brilliant.

I often visit for breakfast as l prefer this venue to others available. Service has always been very good

I’m in here most Saturday afternoons! Friendly staff and the food is decent, particularly the breakfast. As with any Wetherspoons it has its share of one eyed leg draggers but don’t let that put you off, this is a pretty good pub!👍🏻

Very good Wetherspoon pub. We visited a few days in a row whilst visiting the area, it was always busy. One night we couldn’t find a table so one of the staff found one a for us and cleared it.

Only had a drink. Nice atmosphere x quick service

Very busy Wetherspoons. Had an excellent breakfast with great service. Well worth a visit.

Easy to get to, enough surrounding car parking, lovely big space and decor, very busy due to school holidays, bit still got a table, was special friends birthday, staff let us bring balloons and birthday cake,, very accommodating,, order food from bar,, very big selection of food for different diets and alegies,, we had curry, steak, halumi. And all was enjoyed. Thank you to all the staff,, they were rushed off their feet,, Great place,Great Food,great price.

Popped in for breakfast with the wife this morning, now I never expect much from a spoons but this place is the best I've visited young lad on the bar was professional but friendly, food came quick which I was surprised at as it was busy for a Sunday morning great food could of been a little hotter but wasn't unbearably cold like most spoons serve

Go there most Saturday mornings for breakfast and a catch up with friends. Lovely staff, great service and value... Ofcourse. Highly recommended... It can get busy but the staff are good and the wait is never too bad.👍🏻

Nice friendly place. It was busy when we went. It did seem noisy, food served quickly & nice beer.

Never had a meal that was hot. Even when I sit next to the kitchen.

Mixed grill is great. Considering we are supposed to be in a cost of living crisis place is always packed

Great atmosphere, and staff very welcoming and polite.

This is probably one of the best uses of an amazing and stunning old theatre great backdrop to the amazing service from the beautiful waitress who had the amazing singing voice too x
