Love this pub, but service when busy is dire. Staff look miserable at best. Beer OK,hit and miss on some.

Nightmare to find the hotel by car with sat nav. Nice room, not as good as some but better than others Typically, weatherspoons pub attached all in all worth a visit.

Surprisingly bling decoration but well presented. Toilets downstairs, as usual, but very nice decor again. We called for breakfast which was good value. It is quite a smart 'Spoons in a central location.

What you’d expect from a spoons hotel. The staff were fantastic, really nice and really accommodating. The Location was also great too! The bathroom door needed a running jump start to close, but can I just say…. The shower was so good! It had better water pressure than a jet wash!

This Spoons is very close to New Street Station so is always very busy. We went ahead of the Test match for a breakfast. You get exactly what you expect from a JD Wetherspoons, the pricing is inexpensive, food is edible and beer is cheap whilst still providing quality ale.

A bunch of people were getting bashed with bottles outside which was funny. It was very busy as the football was on. The food was good and staff were nice to me. I find lots of noise overwhelming but I needed to sit, so a couple let me sit on their table til they left. Quick service despite how busy it was.

Nice place to go that hasn't got a limited menu unlike the other 2 locally ( The Dragon Inn and The London and North Western ). We went on a Euros night and there was no gammon or steak left unfortunately, so chose a different meal, I ordered a 11" meat feast pizza, and to be honest I was left dissapointed with the toppings, hardly any on it . Can't comment on the hotel rooms as they were fully booked. Staff were lovely, we'll be back again this week, because of the service. More topping on your pizza, pretty please 🙏

The staff were really very very nice and I can not fault them. The location is really good and in the heart of everything..however the hotel is really really dated and the room I was in was large but dark and dated. The worst thing was the bed, it was more like a torture device. The springs were almost visible. I knew I would not be able to sleep on that bed and fearing all were the same, I booked another hotel. Spend a little more and stay elsewhere. Sorry wetherspoons but this hotel need a major vamp.

I tried to be nice to the staff as a lady at the end of the bay wasn’t being served, but then she randomly went over to someone who came after me and served them. When I walked away they all looked shocked. Have some manners and serve in order. But maybe that’s too much to ask of bar staff these days Update this how much they under serve you

We popped in for a quick breakfast. The place seemed understaffed, so it took a while to be served. The staff were nice and friendly. The food took a while, and I nearly just left, as I would have been late for my meeting, but it then arrived. The English breakfast was underwhelming, with half of it cold and not particularly appealing. It was probably just the time, but I will go elsewhere next time.

I stayed in the hotel which was more than what I expected from a Wetherspoons. The room was very clean, with very friendly reception staff, especially from the receptionist this morning who greeted us very warmly. The bar was busy in the night, but we had very fast service via the app and breakfast this morning was spot on. There was a young gentleman and lady serving us who made every effort to make our morning bright. Even at 8am they had smiles on their faces! Keep up the good work briar rose👍🏻we will be back.

I was only in the pub, not in the hotel. A very pleasant, typical, atmospheric pub. It's on the Wetherspoon chain, so you can order to your table via the app (but you need to be connected to the pub's Wi-Fi network for it to work). Young people have their ID cards checked at the entrance.

The pub is well located and offers a great variety of food. I went with my friend on St. Patrick's Day so I understand the pub was a little crowded, however, despite my food being good, my friend ordered a vegetarian breakfast and was served a regular one. I believe the place needs to pay a little more attention to the customers.

It's the first time to stay there for us, so we didn't know what to expect. Our room was very clean and comfortable, bathroom spotless and a great shower. The towel rail was a good addition and very warm. If I'm honest, I would think twice about staying again, only because our room was looking out on Bennets Hill and very noisy early morning, so didn't get very good sleep. The lift (elevator if you're American) didn't work at all. Apparently, it's quite often out of service.

We came into this spoons recently for the first time. With a Wetherspoons you generally know what to expect but with this one we were pleasantly surprised and not just by its unusual ‘boutique’ feel. The place was very busy due to the Christmas market nearby but we were pleased to be served drinks rather quickly and were greeted in a very friendly way. We found a table, after a few minutes, that was vacated by previous diners. The table was cleared away and cleaned quickly and efficiently and we were asked if we’re having a good evening by the waitress. We then decided we would order food as we felt the place was running smoothly despite how busy it was. My husband went to order and I looked around and noticed, who I assumed was the manager, who seemed to have his eye on everything, and seemed to notice every detail, pointing staff in the right direction. My husband wasn’t away ordering as long as expected and the food didn’t take too long to be brought out to us either. We were asked if our food was ok after about five minutes - It was hot and tasty and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Our empty plates were taken away quickly. We had another drink and left. We have to say we were very impressed with everything we saw at this Wetherspoons and will gladly return to it.

We sent it back ( two other customers did the same ) the beans were still like warm , the bacon tasted of smoke it was so frazzled it was charcoaled to death. I felt ill not long after eating the warm bits . Two tables complained as well as us. Very disappointed. It was the Wetherspoons off New Street .

Honestly this Wetherspoons it’s an awful branch! We ordered two meals on the Wetherspoons app for them to come out 5 minutes after. 10 minutes later we asked where our drinks was as they had still not arrived. Another ask to the waitress her response was “I don’t know let me check” never come back to us to update. At this point I had enough we finished our food and still no drinks. I had to go over to the bar to find they were just sat there, whilst waitresses are more bothered about collecting plates and obviously ignoring drink orders. We requested for a manager to speak to us she was not very helpful all she advised was, that she was busy. We understand that it was busy but it’s still not the point it takes 2 minutes to pour a drink and pop it over. She advised she will refund the drinks then stormed off as she was getting angry, well if you sort things out it wouldn’t be a problem.It takes longer to cook the food more than anything else. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU DONT WANT TO WAIT 30 MINUTES FOR A DRINK
