The Furze Wren - J D Wetherspoon in Bexley

The man in the silk shirt (I think named billy) was a delight to be served by. I can’t choose what was better, him in the silk shirt or the chicken wings I ate. Great experience.

Been here pretty much every Fridays with friends. Value for the money and service is amazing...

Cheap drink and food, decor needs updating. Update ... new carpet now and a little refresh. Looks a bit better. Definitely can't be beaten for value.

It's a Spoons. Does what it says on the tin.

Good menu great value cheap plonk lol 😆

Food average really but staff and atmosphere is good if you want a cheap drink and something to eat... They should put toilets at either end of this eatery as that gets on people's nerves and they have enough space..mens one end and womans and disabled the other end.

Nice food and great atmosphere and staff

Good pub! 👍 the staff are great as well as the food!

A very good weatherspoons with a good selection of food and drinks. Outside seating area very good in the summer.

Nice place, they have everything

Customer service was totally deplorable. Non mannerism.

Cheap food, great beer and excellent coffee, a very good place to eat and drink, but it does get crowded.

Quick service Great food quality Unfortunately gets too crowded. When you come outside the surroundings are not great as well and if you are not in a group can be easy to be scared

Been going to this Wetherspoons for breakfast for many years with my partner, and without a doubt it's the best! Food and staff are wonderful and service is faultless and quick.

Great Wetherspoon location. Good service.

Good price Some were to go for a quick lunch

It is a very good weatherspoons I have been to a lot. The food was brilliant and it is quite clean but it can get very busy there.

Question? Why have you changed the porridge recipe? Very disappointed with it. It used to be delicious but since the recipe has changed, I can only describe it as a runny mess without any texture. It's nothing like the description given - Creamy Jumbo Oat Porridge. Other Wetherspoons I have visited have kept the regional recipe. My low score is only for the porridge. Staff, atmosphere, price all good.

I’ve been to this Wetherspoons for ages & the changes I’ve seen are catastrophic. One of the male staff with black hair & glasses. Accused me of vaping inside the premises while it was sitting on the table. Staff are very unfriendly, unwelcoming & arrogant. My gran goes here & mentions that her plates & drinks will get taken even though they’re not finished with their food & drinks. Go Turnpike or Wrongun instead. Please don’t spoil your day & go here. This place is a complete joke.

Really nice place to visit very large seating area inside and outside, very clean. Quite a small amout of toilets for such a large pub but they are kept clean which is the main thing. They staff are polite and the service was fast

Bear in mind this is a budget establishment and you get what you pay for. Do not expect gourmet dining. But the beer is good and competitively priced. But as is tradition, the toilets are a hike so make sure you go well before you really need to

It was a fantastic atmosphere and the food was amazing

Come here for cheap prices and good food. It's a cozy place clearly popular with the locals. It can get busy, but the service is always fast and kind. Ordering is done through the app. The toilets are clean, although some doors are damaged. Overall, we were happy after having dinner here, while not overpaying it.

Lovely food and very affordable. Come here all the time.

Cheap beer weatherspoon pub grub average boozer

The furz wren is just your typical weatherspoons. The food is as good as can be expected for the price and the drinks are nice and cheap. As it's a big weatherspoons it can take a while for table service as its always busy. But the staff are always polite and I've never seen any trouble in there unlike other bars or pubs in Bexleyheath. Worth a visit for a cheap night out

Very convenient and a good selection in the middle of a tiring shopping day or pre-cinema.

Very noisy at peak times. Staff seem to be always under pressure, but they cope brilliantly even during the busiest times.

To ne honest all wetherspoons are the same come in order food and drink leave.Quick service order on the app saves time.

Really to to clear and clean your tables before punters sit down and have to clean themselves

I had the Fish Chips Peas. The Fish was large, twice the size of what you would get in Fish Shop and cooked lovely. I also had an Alcoholic drink. The Cost was £10.49. Considering I would of paid about £4 for the drink in a pub, all in all a very good value meal.

great location for a night out/after work, friendly staff members along with good quality food, especially the chips and wings, definitely worth a try! shame they close at 12 though🤣

I don't know that shop but is the best

Always a good choice of ale, it's worth visiting for that alone. The food isn't bad either. Give it a look.

Lovely to sit outside but soo dark inside

Staff very friendly and efficient, unfortunately the atmosphere is very intimidating with large groups of men drinking heavily early in the morning. Also way too many gambling machines.

Is this establishment really suitable for vegans? At first glance, you would think so. Offering a variety of options to choose from a fully vegan menu. However the complete lack of care and vigilance from the kitchen staff, combined with the fact that the staff do not enquire about any allergies or intolerances (which should be standard practice in any restaurant) you are at risk of consuming animal products. After ordering the only vegan dessert on the menu (a torte with coconut ice cream) and the waitress specifically confirmed it was a ‘vegan torte’ when serving it, I had no doubt that it met my dietary requirements. However, after just one bite of what I believed was coconut ice cream, I knew that it didn’t. After 8 years of being vegan, I had just eaten dairy because of someone else’s incompetence. I promptly made it to the bathroom and vomited, and continued doing so the rest of the night at home. Luckily for me, I follow this diet for ethical reasons rather than allergies. Unfortunately that is not the case for many people. My experience resulted in an upset stomach, but it could have been fatal for someone else. After informing a manager, she merely offered a round of drinks, which was the last thing I wanted. Still extremely upset, I did not want to leave without some kind of justice. That is when we found the absolute GEM that is Lewis. Lewis was completely understanding and professional. He proceeded to provide us with a full refund and assured us that he would personally take care of us if we were to visit again. His sheer kindness and professionalism salvaged an otherwise disastrous evening. If it was up to me, he would be promoted to manager. While Lewis’s actions were commendable, the overall experience was alarming. The Furze Wren needs to significantly improve its practices and staff training to ensure the safety and satisfaction of its customers, especially those with dietary restrictions. Until then, I cannot recommend this restaurant to vegans or anyone with specific dietary needs.

The price of drinks is relatively cheap, the food is good and there are many choices, the waiter service is very good, and it is a good place for close friends to have sex

Really nice atmosphere friendly hard working staff the app is a great

Food was great the boy loved his spaghetti bowl prices are are not to bad

It's a wetherspoons. You know what to expect.

Always a great place for lunch. Good price too?

Always a nice place to eat. Can get very busy on certain days.

Orderd 2 steak dinners. One with mash,onion rings, 1 mushroom half tomato. The other dinner was steak and chips. We ended up leaving most of the food as it was inedible. Best bit of all was the beer. 🤷‍♀️🙈 very disappointed indeed.

As what can be expected from Wetherspoons..Good beer & food for the price. Toilets could have done with a clean.

Only visited a few shops... very lively place in the evening with live music at cafes. Avtar cafe - very welcoming and friendly people. Mahamad the singer, Ahmed th3 cool dude who was cheerleadijg England and Fredo the henna dude were all fabulous

Ordered a mea and didn’t get my drink even thou I got charged. Waiter was not helpful and food was cold.

Nice pub food, it's a typical whetherspoon with British food, food was fresh and nice, atmosphere was nice, very very busy. Service could be better as it was slow, but it was a hot day and I guess the heat didn't help.

We often go for a breakfast in Furze Wren great value for money and taste delicious, our last breakfast was yesterday before the tier 3 rules came in, very sad day and we feel it's unjust. Weather Spoons really do seem to adhere to Covid rules consistently. There is virtually no contact what so ever the place is massive, we sanitize on entry scan the test and trace code order from the app food and drink arrives and placed at the end of the table it's all screened off and you go in one end and out the other end what more can they do.If you contracted Covid in Furze Wren you would be very unlucky.

It's a wetherspoons. Good that the company keeps pubs going in areas. But at the end at the day. The food is very basic and not that tasty as fir the beer I find that all the stuff on draught tastes very watery. That's why it's so cheap rather pay more than less for better food and drink telly's every where and fruit machines. Not a pleasant visit at all

Food is pre plated, cold and rubbish. Customer service is quick bit can be rude at times; just take it with a pinch of salt. Great beer for the price and a busy atmosphere

Great beer, great food, great price

Amazing pub which is good at everything. The toilets are clean and the whole seating area is fabulous. I will try and visit as often I can when I go to Bexleyheath.

Great time had here , friendly customers who treated us like friends, lovely kind courteous staff and good food

Wow! The first wetherspoons I have been in where the toilets are not halfway to heaven! Lmao

Good food but place is tired, they are doing it up in June

Always great food uick service and very cheap.

Can be busy ,but good food and cheaper drinks

8oz sirloin steak peas chips onion rings peppercorn sauce The positives : steak cooked to perfection, got around 5 onion rings (3) stated on the menu, The Negatives: steak was 6oz of beautiful steak 2oz of FAT, not all the chips were cooked through Overall still good value

A conveniently located Wetherspoon's if you're shopping in Bexleyheath. Spacious, some booths, good service from friendly staff.

A Decent breakfast reasonably priced

Decent place , good prices and fish and chips was very tasty and come out quickly , all the sauces aswell. Comfortable seats . Will be back.

Great security kept a lively yet safe environment.

Amazing place to go with friends

pretty good wetherspoons, big place and busy but the service is quick and the quality of food is good

This very busy 'Spoons is well run! Good selection of guest ales! Best by far in local area!

We for drinks with my ex sister in law a few weeks ago we'll definitely be coming back again

Standard Spoons. Fed the family for about £30. Lots of choice, something for everyone, very consistent . Can't really go wrong.

Full of Yuppies I'm sure I've seen Del Trotter with his Fila Fax and Red Brace's in There

My first Spoons of 12-13 new branches that were covered just before Easter. Standard fodder, so nothing to complain. It's saved, unlike the Wrong'Un just down the road.

Close to where I stay went shopping everyday. I enjoy myself very much and I miss you Broadway

Very large Wetherspoons with ample seating and centrally based on Bexleyheath Broadway. Ideal place to eat or have a drink after shopping! The usual excellent value for money, decent food and friendly service.

It's ok for a weather spoons food could be better, service was excellent and it's pretty clean considering how many people use it.

Although the toilets are on the same level and not outer space, they are so dirty!! It does overall need a refurb, but at the end of the day it's busy and popular!

I've frequented Furze Wren in the last one year and what comes to mind is that this place has the "home effect" on most of its customers. It's excellently located, right in the mesh of London bus stations at Bexleyheath and the nearby shopping mall has adequate parking for your car. The ambience gives you the feel that people who visit here have come to live it over the years as it has a rustic feel to it and many of its patrons appear to "feel at home" here. I must say that whilst I like the safe and warm feel it gives, the restaurant regularly feels overcrowded and could get noise during peak periods. Whilst you'd see some "work from anywhere" patrons tapping away on their keyboards, I've struggled to settle in work the way I would at a usual cafe, despite the comfortable furniture. One primary review point for me when visiting restaurants and pubs remains the condition of their bathroom. I just say that they get a 5 star 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟 for this. I've never had reson to complain or to be put off by their facilities, despite the customer traffic. A second lookout for me is the customer experience extended by the staff. Nothing to complain about and nothing exceptional either. They do their jobs quite well. A third is the food. I must admit I've not had too many meals here but the experience doesn't set it apart from the regular "British Pub". Decent enough to make you order again but you're most likely not going to make it a point to visit. Going by the volumes of regular patrons, I guess most have had a better experience than I have and the experience seems to have grown on them. In all, I'm happy to hand out here occasionally with a fiend, have a quick drink before I'm done with shopping or engage in brief small-talk with a friendly stranger. It's a good place to be when you want to be around people and it's very family friendly.

Good large size pub, decent food/drink, good prices (for a pub)

The staff in the Furze Wren are amazing. I have an autustic non-verbal son who became ill on the premises today and a member of their staff was incredibly helpful. They always make him feel welcome there and have a varied menu for his needs. It's not easy eating out with a disabled, special needs child, but this is a great place to take him.

The food was very nice and it's cheap too ! The bar has a great selection of drinks and that's also cheap, would recommend, always a good crowd about it

Dropped in for breakfast very quick service, then we realised why both our breakfasts were cold although plenty of staff felt they were pre plated and ready to go out doesn’t matter how cheap the meal it should be edible, when mention to staff she apologised and said we should have mentioned it. It should not be up to the customer to complain rather the staff should make sure it’s edible !

Very large pub but cleverly split up into two or three different areas. Good range of real ales. Usual Wetherspoon's menu for food with reasonable prices with my steak and kidney pudding being very good.

It's my favourite pub ever! Kind staff and good food.

Good pub nice food and enjoyed eating there with my family on mother's day

food not always the best. but when your not happy will give you a refund.

It was a typical jd weatherspoons you get what you pay for

Cheep drinks and cheep food what's not to like 😋

Cold burnt food. The only warm thing on the plate was the sausage. Worst wetherspoons I have eaten in.

Great food and drink Great service and staff Great prices!!

This is a long, skinny branch of Wetherspoons, located in the centre of Bexleyheath, near the marketplace. Personally, I prefer nearby Welling's Wetherspoons, namely 'The New Cross Turnpike', because the layout is nicer and it has more of a historical ambience. The service is OK, ditto the food - typical 'Spoons fare. The toilets are clean enough. My mum likes going there with her mates for the bottomless refills!

Great place to have a traditional breakfast with the family on Sunday morning. Perfect perfect portions and prices. Helpful staff and lovely atmosphere.

Always busy with excellent service.

If you love a bit of hassle and bustle yet not to mad this place is for you.

Always very good and Amazing Value. Staffs are amazing too... thank you so much x

A great spoons, always packed and has some outdoor seating

Too many menu choices and my favourite is missing. Left here and went to muffin break.

Great pub , excellent range of beers and ciders at fantastic prices.

Average spoons really, nothing special.

A large Wetherspoons pub close to the clocktower in Bexkeyheath. Helpful and polite staff, quick service, and a comfortable and reasonably priced place to eat.

Popular at weekends, large spoons pub with two small outside areas to sit in. Friendly helpfully staff, great choice of drinks and cocktails at a very reasonable price. Food is what you would expect from a spoons, decent size portions served in 10 minutes to your table buy friendly and happy to help staff. Pub was very busy when we visited with our hevily disabled friend and children, the door staff opened the doors and helped our disabled mate in while being patient and respectful of there independance, bar and waiting staff were very patient and attentive despite his speech issues and taking a small eternity to get his order out (pretty much deaf as a post and struggles to talk when in loud and crowded places with a very strong stutter) Left happy after several of hours, food, deserts and many many drinks. Staff 10/10 good kind and polite Cleanliness 10/10 toilets were clean and tables were cleared, mess was picked up periodically when noticed and bar was not sticky. Atmosphere 10/10 Mix of young and old, family's and groups of friends. No sign of drunks, beer fued stupidness or gobby teenage turnips. Well worth a visit with the family if in the area, parking is not so great around the pub for low mobility or elderly people as we had to park in asda 300m away (were not from the area so there may be closer places to park but pub had no parking that we saw but that is expected in a high street pub. Keep up the good work. See you all soon.

The computer system broke and it took forever for the food to be served, although the food itself was not too bad.

Love this place sometimes you have to wait for a seat if you are going to eat, but it's always worth it gr8 food gr8 service. Highly recommended!!
