The Cerdic in South Somerset

I genuinely have to applaud the staff. This chain has a particular modus operandi, which is a challenge in itself. Being both affordable and hospitable to the masses in tandem is no easy task. The Cerdic management can be commended on those it employs, namely those that stand up rigorously to the extreme varied volumetric patron numbers and the pressures that this produces, especially given the size of the establishment. It is not for me when the 'masses frequent on their evening of well deserved leisure' but outside these times, it serves my purpose.

Enjoyed the Sticky Korean Chicken dish with coconut flavoured rice, (instead of chips), at this Wetherspoons. Pleasantly surprised at the lower prices (compared to my local Wetherspoons) - the savings (almost) paid for the very nearby car parking at Essex Close Car Park - £1.70 for 3 hours. Friendly and efficient staff; meals and drinks were good, fast service.

Nice food good service Great price

Don't eat here if you want a fair meal deal,ie a meal and a pint,ye you get your drink at the expense of a reduced size meal.Con artists.

on our way back home The Cerdicwas not to far out of the way . As a Wetherspoons premise you van usually expect a consistent standard. not so at The Cerdic We both ordered a large breakfast. we arrived just after 09:10 while my wife went to get our hot drinks breakfast arrived it was outstanding. not a single piece of food was hotter than tepid. I left a good half of it! The toast was barely brown one side completely uncooked. Usually at a Wetherspoons someone asks if the food is OK, this didnt happen.maybe they knew just how bad it was. I would normally have complained, but we were just too tired and wanted to get home. On a positive the premises and toilets were very clean and there is access wheelchair/mobility scooter users./ If you want a memorable breakfast this is the place to go Will i go back? a very emphatic NO!

How refreshing to go into a Spoons and have EMPTY tables (of plates and glasses) a clean and tidy environment with friendly attentive staff! People who write extremely negative remarks have never been to a bad Spoons, such as my local in Oxfordshire. I understand that reviews and remarks are based on a persons personal experience and perception,and can be highly immotive, but overall this is a very good venue. ( my opinion)

Great pub, staff were extremely helpful.

Good food slow service but reflected in the number of patrons definitely worth the wait

Good food for a good price. Went at midday... It was quiet.

Real cheap spoons this one awesome value

Overall very Professional and good experience

Staff are nice, food is decent , but looks a bit dirty.

App is poor probably due to speed. Often missing ordered items. Then there’s the delay. Probably due to minimal staffing levels, due to a huge reliance on App. Ordering. Personally, I prefer the HUMAN touch…..

It's always a laugh at Spoons, food was good and what value! Coffee great and all you can drink. Watching the clientele is also a lot of fun. A beer at 9am. Classic. Five star!

Always good recommend all dishes served. Car park behind its a public one

Good value for money and friendly staff. Thanks 🙂

Twice in a row now, we have gone, we know it's basic food! But come on, first visit, half the items were not in stock! So had to opt for alternatives. Dirty, unclean tables, still with previous dinners glasses, not once did I see any of the staff ACTUALLY wipe a table down! This time, one order incorrect, no apology? Just brought us the correct one, table was tacky, saw other people arriving & clearing tables themselves! It wasn't particularly busy .?!? Obviously under a new management or needs a new one?

Gone down hill rapidly, Shame.

Everything was quick. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Everywhere we looked it clean .b All in all a very nice spoons

Had the meal and drink deal. They forgot our drink and it took a extra 10 mins before we got them . Not busy and e people behind the bar .

Food and drink good as usual. They need a glass washer though 😪😪 as hatch is overflowing and we've 8 empty glasses on our table of 4.

Curry night on Thursday. Good value. In the fine weather the garden is an excellent choice.

Fantastic service, lovely food Our favourite weatherspoons lovely and bright in conservatory area Staff are really lovely

A relaxed atmosphere in this Wetherspoons Inn. Food is good and there is a good range of drinks to purchase.

Easy to order through there App. Quick service pleasant staff & great value food even stayed till 9.30pm with kids as they were still eating

We need a cheese toastie and dogs allowed outside

Another great JDW ... Went here for a hearty breakfast and coffee before a day out in Devon ... You can't go wrong with a Wetherspoons nearby !

These folks are great every time I've visited 😀

Very helpful attentive staff food 🍲 tops

Worst Wetherspoons experience I’ve had for a long time.

Ahhhhhh extra cold Brewdog Punk served quick and food served swiftly also. Can't complain.

Had 3 vegetarian and vegan breakfasts. All great. Good prices. Friendly staff. Fast WiFi. Clean everywhere.

Great breaky at weather spoons price. Refillable coffee for the win 👍

Great food staff were really helpful prices are cheap would reccommend this for anyone travelling to chard for a short or long term stay was a really good atmosphere

Had two brunches and 2 drinks for 9.80. Was very nice. Good service. Great value. Will definitely be back. Well done!!!!

Great place to go with friends and family. Always good service and friendly atmosphere.

Converted cinema. If you want a quick meal of adequate quality at a reasonable price then the 'spoons' delivers. We just use it for meals though others seem to enjoy the pub atmosphere with free sports TV. We don't hang around after we have eaten. Staff seem well trained and efficient.

Fish and chips plus a pint of Doom Bar.

Took along time for food to arrive, then had to wait for cutlery. It was very busy.

Use this pub regularly as couple and as family situation it's is what it is good Good value for money staff pleasent pub pleasant like it

really disappointing experience! ordered a breakfast with a separate order from the sides menu to be delivered on a separate plate. first delivery was everything on one plate, sent back and second delivery was promt but traditional breakfast was served without egg and was served cold, feeling sorry for the front of house staff who have to deliver disappointing food to people from the catering staff who clearly don't have a clue!

Good wetherspoons as normal -- I wish I had known that they had accommodation.

Located in the old cinema in Chard, it has a nice relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. Always enjoy going here. Visited again last week and everything was just as good.

Great food, and excellent service, the staff were so lovely and had a great attitude, it was an amazing atmosphere to be in, would definitely recommend going here

Had a good value for money and the staff were really helpful

Food below standard properly been better going to McDonald's with the quality and better value for money

Great night for meeting up with friends

It was ok drink cheep It what some people like in a pub

Neatly converted former cinema. Ideally located to explore Chard.

Appalled by the way in which the manager dealt with a minor discrepancy over the payment of a round of drinks, resulted in him using obscene language at a friend, avoid like the plague, JDW, rid yourself of such employees or lose more establishments.

Really good atmosphere, love the range of ales on during festival and the staff are very friendly and helpful

Food is always cold or burnt to a crisp. Chefs clearly don't know how to cook let alone show any pride in their job.

Not a bad Spoons at all, not a great range of ales but adequate.

A decent ‘spoons. Food is cheap but you do kinda get what you pay for. Staff in this particular ‘spoons at the time of writing are great. Nice big outside area that gets the sun No dogs a per usual with this chain One major drawback is they don’t have many plug sockets, so not easy to come and work here in the day if that’s something you want to do, or to charge your phone if you’re running low.

food was by far sub standard, 3 meals ordered which arrived in good time to be fair but all 3 meals were served cold to warm! steak and kidney pudding was lukewarm with warm chips, curry was hot but rice was stone cold and pretty much most of the brunch was cold to warm; supervisor was informed in a pleasant way and I suggested that for her own information that the kitchen should temperature probe the food before being served (as most things will be kept in a bain marie or warm cupboard) but my complaint was pretty much shrugged off. certainly would not recommend this place to eat until they make major improvements regarding food!!!

It was a pleasant afternoon with a very nice large mix-grill

Top tier. Cheap but no drop in quality for a spoons.

Very noisy but food is reasonably priced.

Very disappointed! Have eaten here a few times now and always been pleased with the food. However not today! We both had fish, chips and peas. They were really dry. I would imagine pre cooked and kept warm for some time. When I mentioned it to a passing member of staff, he simply said 'oh dear, that's a shame' and promptly walked off.

It still amazes me, that still, some places are just a golden nugget of Hospitality and Food Service around the South West like that place. My past more than thirty five years in the Hospitality/Hotel, Customer Service, Retail and commerce industries within France and as much, the USA the England, is discreetly but strongly known with the public sectors searching for some honest feedback on such services. It is always better to underpromise and overdeliver than the opposite: the Cerdic is a magical stopped (cinema vibes speaking) in time, as well as a calm and relaxing place, laced with an exceptional service and the cleaniless is out of this world. What a gem for Somerset! Merci for having been so welcoming and attentive: that felt like mindfulness within the food path!

It's a Poons, and not the best one. It does drinks and the usual Poons food, but don't expect much else.

Have been many times and have eaten every time, staff always polite and helpful. Usually not had to wait too long for food to arrive. Been to many Wetherspoons around the country and yes what you see is what you get, if you want 5* cordon bleu then obviously go elsewhere, but be prepared to pay lots of money for it.

Cheap food tidy place usual upstairs toilet hike lol

Food takes ages and we ate all our COLD food before the drinks even turned up.

Never any bar staff Waiting for a beer for 10mins Completely focused on food

First time visiting here. Lack of atmosphere and fairly bland decoration. Dull when for a Wetherspoon 'pub'. Service was quick but wow the guy who brought the food over was miserable, not a word just a fed up frown. Panini was tasty but tiny on a huge plate. I was nearby for work so only came here out of desperation and was as poor as expected.

Good food nice place 😋 parking close and cheap

Okay for a quick bite to eat, prices have gone up alot but everywhere seems to be the same lately. Standard of food has gone down hill lately. More expensive, less portions and not as much variety as there use to be. Hot chocolate is nice though when machine is working. And unlimited refills is a bonus of that!

Very friendly, helpful and cheerful staff. Busy night, pub was full and happy, not raucous. Wetherspoons great value as always

We went for a drink and a Xmas meal. I went up to order my meal for myself and my husband, and I had trouble with the contactless payment. The bar person serving me had glasses and he was extremely rude to me and I nearly walked out. What a disgusting way to speak to a customer and his tone of voice. He was very very rude and I'm extremely annoyed, and I definitely will never have Xmas dinner or eat in there again. I feel like coming in to complain as I'm so annoyed with him. He was even rude when I was trying to put my card in. I suggest that u train Ur staff to have manners. The service when we went before was slow, no staff and also being ignored having to stand at bar. Unless I get an apology we will not be drinking in the cerderic or eating in the pub. I am extremely angry with this member of staff very rude and sycathstic. You need to get more staff and train them better. Myself and my husband will not be returning to the cerderic again. No staff, slow service and ignorant rude staff.

Service was quite quick and the servers were cheerful and friendly. The bar serves several ales which vary over time.

Dinners yummie and staff are nice ty

Good food and service,have to read menu carefully for celiac sufferers and explain to staff that you or a member of your group has celiac disease.

Your average spoons really. But I have to say chard spoons food isn’t the best

Nice outside seating for a cold pint,very clean place and very polite colleagues

Nice clean environment, well priced and good service.

Really love people. Staff had time to chat and make you feel so welcome. The food was extremely tasty and speedily delivered. Thoroughly recommend this establishment.

For legal reasons I have to rate 5*

Not much to say cheap cheerful food ideal if you don't want to spend alot I wouldn't use the word gourmet to describe the burgers clean place with family seating area very cheap drinks £1.99 for a pint of doombar happy days

Muito atraente lugares bonitos e interessante

The service was quick and the food was good and the price is excellent.

I only have pizza the rest iam not bothered about.

Friendly staff, child friendly very clean and food is really good. Not a long wait time child's meals are good portions worth the money love going here.

1st time here excellent highly recommended

Called in on my tour of Spoons around the UK. Ordered on the app - Food ok, but forgot drink, had to ask for my drink to be brought out. Food came out quick.Decor is ok in bar area, looking tired elsewhere. Toilets fairly clean but graffiti in some cubicles. Overall impression - fairly forgettable and not one I'd revisit. But by no means the worst. One for the locals.. noisy in some areas.. at times felt like I was sitting in the 'Home" episode of the X-files...

Clean and tidy good food pleasant staff and quick service but we did go on a Tuesday afternoon might be different at weekends

Good service and amazing views 👍

Typical Wetherspoons in the heart of Chard town centre.was an old cinema and has kept some of it's old charm. Food and drinks are cheap and cheerful and food is what you would expect.

Probably the best sirloin steak we have had this year.... very, very lean & tasty! 5⭐

Great place to start our day and journey onto Devon. Wonderful breakfast 😋

Today we ordered southern fried wrap with no spicy mayo and it came with mayo still. Chips and gammon were luke warm. I get the concept of cheap food but if you pay for it you kind of expect some sort of food quality. I think whoever cooked tonight should be retrained or maybe it’s time for new staff with better attitude to their job!

Decent wetherspoons with lower prices than usual (for the area)

Everything was good except my chips were luke warm

Horrible food and my Pepsi never turned up none of the tables was clean I wouldn’t not recommend this place to anyone wanting a quick bite

I had a meal with a friend and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Table was dirty on arrival and not cleaned Attitude of staff was horrific With a 4 and a 5 year old ,we had to wait nearly 50 minutes for our food, which when it arrived, was cold Will NEVER go there again

Wasn’t the greatest tbh, we ordered on the app and waited about 15 minutes for our drinks. Food was approx a 45 minute wait. When we got the food did not feel it was value for money and it was cold. I didn’t say anything as we were starving by the time we received it. Probably ok for a quick drink, if you order from the bar.

NOT GREAT. Ordered a breakfast and I was given a dirty cup. I asked for a clean one and I was told by the bar staff "what do you expect.... this is a weathrtspoons" I'd hate to see the state of there kitchen if that's there attitude and standards. She also started making sick noises at me when I ordered black pudding. Obviously a real classy sort of girl 🙄. Contacted customer service about it but just got some generic apology email. Probably best to give that one a miss

One of the members of staff was rude and had a vile tone towards the customers. He works night shifts and wears a greed lanyard, would go into more detail but he’s a monkey.

I never expect too much from a Wetherspoons, but this really broke the mould. I had the spicy chicken and chips and it was among the nicest chicken with ever had. I followed this with a fresh fruit and ice cream, and this proved to be mountainous and truly fresh My wife had one of the steak meals and the apple pie with custard, and that was of equal quality, and all this was at lunchtime during half term break. The service was a bit longer than anticipated, but it was well worth the weight and the staff were trying hard and a good bunch of people . I will try this again just to make sure it wasn’t a lucky fluke.. top marks
