The Ferry Boat in Halton

Saturday 26th October ..Came for a breakfast as a treat NO butter for toast . Team member went to get some from a local shop. Asked for some ,to be told we haven't got any ! Not good if you want to keep customers coming back .

Gents toilet are not very clean.

Everything you need and great prices! Always busy yet still always fast , friendly and efficient service regardless of day or time!

No complaints at all. Lovely fish and chips

My local wetherspoons. Cheap and cheerful as always! Cheapest breakfast and drinks in town.

As per any wetherspoons decent food at a good price and cheaper than most others on the drinks .

Breakfast are great cooked well decent food items specially for the price, nice quiet environment for a coffee and breakfast staff are friendly also quick service

Both sets of toilets smell there the worst wetherspoon toilets weve been in The decor needs so up dating The staff are lovely 😁 but tables left for so long b4 cleared Deffo the worst wetherspoons we've been in and the vaping is getting out of control Shame

Food isn't the best but is good for the price. Venue is always clean. I don't encounter any issues here. Good value accross the board as expected from Wetherspoon. The 'gourmet burgers' are average and no better than the standard burgers. This is at any Wetherspoon I have ever been, not jist here. So save your money and have a regular burger. Last breakfast I had here was very nice! The Lavazza Coffee seems alot better these days, more flavour than it used to have.

Had the American breakfast, pleasantly surprised with how good it was

Typical spoons, great value breakfast sets you up for the day

Not as busy as it used to be looking a little tired and needs freshening up still plenty of choices of beer and reasonably priced

Dated. Staff are brilliant and beer is ace.

Breakfast with family , 1st time I have been since Jan 2020. Good meal with good company. May 2024 nice curry lunch with 3 lovely friends , will return. Meal with 2 lovely friends at lunch time , good food , great prices. Will be back.

It was a great visit, friendly staff, helpful and the beer selection was good , had a few ales to help the night along

This is more a review of the possible clientele that eat here. Picked the only free booth and the table looked like a load of monkeys had been eating... Butter packets opened and turned butter side down, plates and cutlery scattered and liquids and food all smeared over the table. People need to have respect for the next customer and the staff. Have some self respect people.... Aside from that the staff were very friendly and the food usual fair to good wetherspoon quality.

cheap food great company what could possibly go wrong

Usually very busy no matter what time of day we go, nice atmosphere, a little noisy. Food usually very good and service is nice most of the time

Chips were that of a been under the heat lamp way way too long, same with beans and the fried egg was solid,,,,,,,this was 3rd time I gave this place benefit of the doubt,,,,,,and the last ,,,,,,,,and it’s bleeding freezing in here,,,,,so so gone downhill

Lovely food, very popular place and can get very busy

Food ok Place is an absolute dump , table's left,not cleaned up, everyone in there has some disability,never seen do many people on walking sticks & mobility aids Used by many to write out bets and take them to the bookie's, next door,very poor

Cheap food and drinks. Exactly what you would expect from a Spoons.

I recently visited this witherspoon and was not satisfied by the service. I walked in and seated myself in one of the only available booth seats. This table had food on the floor the table and there was multiple dishes on the table. Whilst ordering our food, we asked for a cleanup on our table, and nobody came. Our food arrived, and all the waiter did was put our food on the table and move the dirty plates and put our food down. We asked to clean our table she picked half of the plates up and went. I went 2 days layer and they missed 4 items off our orders I asked for them, and he only gave us 2. There was also no checkback

The staff were great and we were there for breakfast it was as usual Wheatherspoon standard great

Food passable. Very noisy being a Saturday afternoon. Not the right environment for children. Far too much swearing and noise.

Very underwhelming food and service one of the worst I've been in wouldn't return 👎

This is a nice little place for family and friends to meet and enjoy delicious food. We’ve never had a problem with the food here for the price you get your money worth, great place would recommend to anyone.

Had breakfast with family on 25/7/2024 it was beautifully cooked and tasted lovely. I would definitely be back for more.

Nipped in for a quick lunch, all day brunch with a coke for less than a fiver! Delicious. Staff were polite and helpfull. As good as it gets!

Food was stoned cold (breakfast) Just had our drinks and left Not impressed at all Duty manager needs to put a smile on miserable face

No problems to try before you buy. I sampled two real ales and settled for a guest one for the usual great value for money around £2.60. Small beer garden and Euros football on the TV.

A great customer service, food okay for the price. Staff looking out for customers, tables cleared quickly , great atmosphere . Love this place. My local place to go to. KO

My chicken strips had some fabric tying them together. Not a joke

This is a weatherspoons franchise which is well run, plenty of room with a small beer garden to the rear. Which is opened up into the car park during the summer.

An excellent Spoons. A great shame they turn the car park from a beer garden back into a car park. There's so much free parking in Runcorn it is a mystery why they did this. Otherwise five stars.

It's a whetherspoons so it does what it says on the tin.

Went to this weatherspoons one Friday evening,on arrival it was about half full went straight to the bar for drinks and had to wait at least 10 minutes to get served so next time we decided to use the app table service and that was worse at least 15 minutes wait.

I enjoyed my visit, typical great service. The only negative thing (and no reflection on Wetherspoons) when I was in the toilets, three people didn't wash there hands after doing their business. Four years down the line, and society has forgotten hygiene.

Had some good meals there.and the drinks are cheap.

Just had a breakfast, not worth it, no sugar so waste of time having tea, and there's no coffee, when ordering they dont tell you no sugar and when you go up to get to fill your cup there's only tea bags. Don't recommend.

First thing I noticed was the service was impeccable, the girls at the bar were just super friendly and very helpful, the guy who served our food was as well. I love the ambiance, it was very family friendly and even the people who had a few to drink were nice. Their prices are as always very competetive, loved it. But when it came to the food, it was just disappointing. The fish and chips were okay but the burger that I ordered was just dry and really plain. And the worst part is the ramen that my wife ordered, it was not a ramen at all. It was not japanese inspired but rather indian soup. The ingredients were just wrong. I spat it out when I tried to try some.

Its the 3rd time my family have been in here. Same man starng at my 6yr old daughter and seems to bring in his own food. Awful

Great brunch. Always good value

Breakfast is as good as it gets.

Very disappointed with the food ordered fish and chip only to find there was no fish just batter ...thay did rectified it and replaced it but was left eating on my own as my friends had already finished by the time I got a replacement

It's the spoons in runcorn, I wish the service was a tad quicker, but it's the spoons and that's no bad thing

Good place for eating and drinking staff good

Had a lovely evening here, good food for the price. Couldn't fault the waiting staff, so friendly and helpful also a great atmosphere . Definitely our place to go locally.

Always a bonus visiting a Spoons where not only the toilets are on the ground floor but also has a quality range of beers. A great team of staff on duty here today including Jake (Young) who is passionate about the cask ales on sale which quite rightly has earned this pub an entry in the 2024 Good Beer Guide. The Unity Pale Ale was a pleasure to drink 👍🏻

Full of idiots food is not the best staff are OK

Bar service poor, had to wait, and bar person kept benging over showing his backside, glad I wasn't eating lol

Wetherspoons The usual excellent breakfast and unlimited coffee from Tim Martins chain of pubs. Breakfast prices on promo at the moment.

A Man Utd fan, ( Rather big)Kitchen member comes screaming out about football. Not professional and I’m sure it’s probably against the rules

The Usual Wetherspoons experience

Yeah, it was Ok. You never going to get haute cuisine in a Wetherspoons pub, but if you're after cheap and cheery, then this hits the spot. The staff do their best in a busy pub while the orders come in thick and fast. Occasionally you might get stuck on the tacky tables, but if you can see past that, then, yes, the food is good enough.

Used to be a nice place to meet friends and enjoy a pint, long waits at the bar for a drink, understaffed, the staff work very hard but not enough of them unfortunately, atmosphere of a crematorium

Me and my husband called on Tuesday ordered a large mixed grill and a classic steak both with jacket potatoes,both meals were very tasty ,well cooked and presented,hot plates as well,big improvement on our last visit *****

For a Friday night, you’d think the kitchen would know better than to refry already cooked battered fish ! Horrendously chewy, staff asked about the food, as per, complained, gave reason why, they were preaching the usual Wetherspoons rubbish about ‘all our food is freshly prepared’ etc ! Said taste it then ! They refused obviously, but still insisted i was wrong. Even after i told them i used to run a chippy, so i know about these things. Blank looks, and walked off ! Oh well

As with all JD Wetherspoon....busy 🙂 Great service from Jack, good value for money on food and drinks. Always an interesting variety of ales. Never disappointed

Unbeatable value and friendly service makes for a great deal.A great place to spend an hour or two.

Great staff and really great pizza at good prices, thank you!

Staff very friendly.. Great service.. cheap prices 👍🏻

Now I had actually given this establishment a 4 star 🌟 only last month, but I have been coming here a lot more recently for a meal @ a pint, and have enjoyed the food very much, so after careful consideration I am now changing my review to a 5 star 🌟. Now the only thing left I have to say is thank-you to all the staff here for all your excellent service, and I'll see you very soon.

Good prices,real ales, inexpensive meals!

Food arrived quite hot friendly staff lovely experience will go again

Great pub in the old town. Bit of a hidden gem. Food was good, atmosphere excellent and prices great. Already planning another visit. Go there if you can.

This place is awesome with great staff. Can't wait to be back in September.

Ok. Just what you would expect from a spoons 🥄

What can I say, Sunday 7th Jan, man and women arguing, his outburst was provoked by her going on and on and on, he was removed but she was left to enjoy her drink. It was her disturbing everyone's Sunday evening, not him till he left and had his say!!!!!

It was excellent service by Claire

A perfectly nice place to eat, serves good food and friendly staff

Great ale, great staff, Sophias the best

Popped in for a couple and fast service with a smile and good banter. Would recommend. Shout out to Sofia behind the bar especially!

Cheap but decent food. Good beer and welcoming atmosphere. 😉👍🏻😉

Reluctantly went in for a pint, for a friend's birthday. Stood at the obviously overwhelmed bar waiting to get served for a good 10+ minutes. Kids all over the place on a Saturday night, as in actual toddlers and babies, loose, about the place.

Lovely staff, Great service & food!

Very busy but welcoming place to go

No stock hardly any choice of food

Cheap & cheerful. Went for breakfast xx

Someone’s nan died by choking on the steak. And I won’t get refund. FEWMIN

I visited Witherspoon's ferryboat for dinner at 6 pm on a Monday, hoping to grab a quick bite before a show at the Brindley. The service was slow, even though the place wasn't packed. We ordered through the app, but our food took 20 minutes to come out, and we had to wait even longer for our drinks. They didn't have enough ketchup and mayo on the tables, so we had to borrow some from other folks. The food was alright - about what you'd expect from fast food, but it wasn't served up fast. Plus, my chair was on the fritz - it wobbled all over the place. If you're in a hurry or looking for something special, this might not be the spot.

Decent weatherspoons for food and drinks

Big thanks to Jake and staff for a wonderful lunch and afternoon from Hoges and Jean from Australia.

Popped in for breakfast and it was just as you’d expect. Good value, average quality, can’t complain at the price.

Came here with my boyfriend was visiting him and he took me here. The locals and staff whom he knows were really friendly chatty and the service was amazing. The food was beautiful and tasty and the cocktails are immense.Been a few times always superb service and so welcoming

Nice friendly pub, really handy for the Brindley theatre

Love this pub also the realy nice fish and bowl of salad, with a glass of red wine. However!!!! On Sunday 22/10/23 lunchtime, the pub was packed but only 2 staff behind the long bar, I saw disappointed & frustrated potential customers walk out and I joined them.

Great staff. Very helpful and friendly.

Some very unsavoury characters at this weatherspoons every time I've visited. The beer selection is great & the food is about average for weatherspoons as is with the chain in general.

Well where shall i start, the toast was just bread, the egg, even the rats wondering around the bins out the back wouldnt touch, the bacon looked like it was from last weeks leftovers, and the beans were as cold as my drink. If you are sat at home thinking about treating yourselves to a nice breaky. Dont. Get the mrs in the kitchen instead

Great, 1st timer. Mid week & late afternoon visit. Food.. (large fish, chips n peas) was well cooked, presented & really tasty. Fish was nice n white & def large, crispy batter. Great chips wanted more when they arrived, but ha! was being greedy. All 'crew' looking after us in the pub were spot on, 5*. Service was restaurant quality. Good family atmosphere, busy, but that's good. Car park you pay & refund at bar. Toilets, very clean. Enjoy, guys. We did.

Visited here on Tuesday 26.09.23 at 6pm as we were going to a Prince tribute in the theatre facing. Pub was busy but had ample seating. We both ordered meals and a dessert to share. I was impressed with the food as I wasn't expecting much, nice pub too that seemed clean, toilets also clean on use, I would visit again. Barman was also friendly.

Great place to visit they have lovely meals. Great atmosphere very welcoming. Great staff and service. Price is just right. Nice to meet up with family and friends.

A meal and a few bevvies before the Brindley theatre.

As I local I come here often and has a good selection of drinks that isn’t just lager. Bar staff have a special skill where they are always able to pick out the last person who came to the bar and serve them before everyone else

Great place to go for food and drink, reasonable prices with outstanding quality of the food they serve!

Me and my husband called in last night,for drinks while waiting for our Indian takeaway,we had San Miguel lager and Aperol Spritz,I don't know why the Aperol Spritz can't be consistent as each time we go it tastes different, depending on who serves you,the pub wasn't busy but staff still serve there friends first .

Took a long time to get our drinks and the bathroom floors are sticky

Been twice recently. Breakfast is very good and great value. The food has improved greatly since I ate there over a year ago.

Lovely breakfast, great staff, great local.
