Beer cloudy as it was the first pint pulled but was changed with an apology. Pint glass tankard is a bonus unlike the Noman Wisdom in Deal that has only half Pint ones. Overall nice friendly pub.

The food was great, the staff was friendly. The app didn't work unfortunately. The service was a bit slower than what I used to in Wetherspoons. In general, it's a Wetherspoon, you can't go wrong with a Wetherspoon.

First time visiting "the 8 bells" didn't realise how big it was, staff were very polite and helpful, the meal was good and you get any drink in the price, company was good as well. Good time 🍻🍺

Have to tell you. Its not changed at all in here. Still excellent value. Good food, had breakfast. Nice and hot. Excellent prices. Was not as busy in there today managed to find a table. Service was quick. Everyone friendly. Toilets spotless. Coffee is such a bargain, limitless. If you haven't been, I can't understand why. They do vegan and vegetarian also. All good.

Is this the friendliest Wetherspoons? Certainly the friendliest I've ever been to. What a great bunch of people. Even got asked if all was OK? Building exterior was far better than the inside but there were features such as the 8 bells. Quick service, hot food and a lovely sticky toffee pudding with a great portion of ice cream. Although the price of tea/coffee has risen over time, hasn't everything, it is still the best value I've ever come across and the fact everything has a decaf alternative is a big bonus, one in the eye McDonalds.

Beautiful pub with many advantages, e.g. the large selection of beers, they even have Leffe on tap. Plus the usual large selection of food. But what's really great is that it's not the usual blaring music that's playing here, but rather none at all. This results in the rare case that you can have a conversation without writing to someone. Unreserved recommendation.

Normally a great pub and would be at least 4 stars, based on my previous visits.However I was very disappointed today both the med salad or basic side salad wasunavailable on Steak club Tuesday.Many tables needed clearing and cleaning at 5 pm.A lot of food was dropped on the carpet near meand still there when I left.The wi fi was very slow but to be fair when it finally worked and speed of drinks to the table was okay.

Having ventured in two weeks ago for a lukewarm large Full English breakfast I decided to test the consistency and return for a second round. I have to confess this time was better - the food was hot and fresh, providing excellent value for money coming in at under £8 with endless refills of lattes. I noted some very minor scruples - only three tabs of butter (as opposed to four last time) and no tomato (I think venues opt out of providing this notoriously difficult to get right option). The staff were excellent,friendly and efficient. The atmosphere was fairly genteel, the TV was merrily lighting up one corner, whilst the occasional impromptu belch emanated from denizens of the booths. Keep it up spoons you are brilliant VFM!

Average restaurant and nothing special about it. My friend ordered burger 🍔 and it was very small and clearly frozen and not fresh. I ordered the small size pizza 🍕it was ok. No Tabasco sauce which’s very strange on the same-level restaurants. Chairs are not so comfortable, tables are not clean, we had to clean it ourselves!! I would not recommend going to it if you have the choice to somewhere else. We were visiting on Sunday, maybe that’s the reason we did have so many options.

The Pizza was horrible. I don't like it sloppy. But this one was like crisp bread with burned vegetables on it. Very disappointed. Normally I say something but we were in a rush, so I didn't complain. The best pizza at Wetherspoons I ever had was in Blackpool Seaside. Nothing came near this one. I can't really recommend a pizza at Wetherspoons anyway. Pizza is for Pizza Restaurants 🍕 Sadly the staff never read the bits you take out or into your order. No recommendation here!

Really nice traditional English pub atmosphere with reasonably friendly service. The food was ok, nothing special, but I wouldn’t have any problems eating there again. The pepper signs indicating spiciness should be taken with a grain of salt. I had the madras curry, which has four pepper signs, and I wouldn’t have known it was meant to be spicy otherwise.

What a lovely Wetherspoons.. The staff were super friendly, attentive, talkative, polite and very nice. (Especially, the man and woman behind the bar, who I think said they had known each other 9 years) they were so welcoming, to the point before heading home we had to return for another drink. We were so surprised to see a pint of Doom Bar for £2.10 and free refill Tea/Coffee for £1.04. The ladies toilets were up a couple of stairs and clean. The overall bar was clean and as with most Spoons a little dark inside. The bar was clean with a great display of drinks. There were some great pictures and frames etc on the walls. We also tried the new Mozart White Chocolate Cream Liqueur.. totally recommend this drink. All in all a lovely Wetherspoons, we would definitely visit if back in the area. The ales poured & settled well and tasted great. We could not have asked for more.

Do NOT accept £50 notes here. Absolute shambles. Was told after ordering at the bar that £50 notes were no longer accepted in any Wetherspoons in the UK. Odd that 3 days ago in Deal, Kent, 8 miles away from this branch, that they had no problem accepting my hard earned currency. Shame on you Wetherspoons. Please stop treating us all like criminals. Some of us work hard for our money rather than illegally printing it.

Worst food I've had in years. Bought the gourmet Beyond meat Vegan burger. Presentation was non existent. The pattie was skinny, dry and flat. Not much flavour either. No sauce. Limp lettuce. Horrible chips. Couldn't eat them! Only ate the burger as I was so hungry. Absolutely disappointing especially if non Vegans try this and assume all Vegan Burgers/ food is the same as that! We definitely will not return. Service was friendly and didn't take long. Place is dingy and dirty and just so unappealing. It may be inexpensive but I didn't expect cheap and nasty. Do better Wetherspoons. This was a disgrace.
