The Hope and Champion in South Bucks

Is this the worst Weatherspoons in the country? At this one the meals are more expensive than most it's a smaller menu and you don't get a drink included. I work away from home and have to eat here most nights it has been getting worse every week.this week on Monday they ran out of salt, today is Thursday and still no salt,on Wednesday they ran out of CHIPS,and today they ran out of Burgers. The place has two floors but the staff close the upstairs every night which means that the ground floor is so busy most people with a choice walk away,I expect the management team at head office wonder why the takings are low 🥴 I don't have a choice but if you do give it a miss.

The Hopeless and Champion of Nothing. Food was as expected but there was no workable internet to use the app and I therefore had to interact with the staff who really did not know their job to an acceptable standard. I cannot say never say never but I do hope so

I visited this pub with my daughter yesterday and we ate different meals. I had chicken tikka. When I got home I became ill with diarrhea and I'm still unwell the next day so it probably was not cooked well enough to kill the germs. I have not eaten anything since that meal so I'm pretty sure that meal made me ill. My daughter is ok thankfully.

Firstly the upstairs section was closed, downstairs was full. There was no function going on just a member of staff eating in one of the booths... hummm. The All American cheese burger was smaller than a child's Mcdonalds burger. And you charged me £7.50 for that, thank you. The drinks took an age to arrive and when they did arrive they where just plonked on the table, on the tray and the happy smiley server just walked off. Can you feel the sarcasm. Not one member of staff cracked a smile. If you can't smile don't do the job. Food was bland, and we where not even asked if everything was okay... glad not to go there again.

We weren't expecting much,and we weren't disappointed. We had tradional breakfast, and it was cheap, cheerful, and cold.

I met my son for breakfast here as we were both working away from home. Refillable coffee and tea is great. We both had a large breakfast, great value for money. Service very prompt and tables quickly tidied . Great to see sensible food prices at a motorway services

3 meals ordered. Eventually arrived. My curry was warm so sent it back, it came back 2nd time warm again ( not piping hot) other meal the onion rings and dips missing, yes i had z refund but it was Saturday evening and with mates .Avoid this place.....

Arrived at 6.30, found a quiet table (and it is quiet and clam compared to the hectic service station restaurants). Ordered online and drink arrived promptly followed by food five minutes later. Hot and good sized portions. No complaints!

The star rating is generous, the service was limited, the professionalism missing and product knowledge poor, the menu was varied but not very appealing and three of our meals arrived with problems that needed to be addressed and warming up food that should have been hot is a definite sign of mangers respect for food hygiene , I think not !

Look it a Wetherspoons pub it is what it is !!! But the small breakfast 😳 that small and on a side plate what that about 🙄 had some black pudding with toast (pay extra for that) not bad really 🫢 but the egg on the small breakfast 🫣scrambled egg with toast with extra bacon 😬 say no more !! But what make it is the staff who serve us 🥰 lovely crowds in there friendly and nothing is too much trouble 👏👏 Wetherspoons are lucky to have stuff like that 😉

Good stop off point when on the M40. Called in for a late breakfast. Looks like their menu and pricing have been adjusted up. Still better than going into the actual service station.

This is such a great place! Stopped to charge the car and get something to eat. The restaurant is clean and tidy, spotless loos regularly checked. The staff were really good especially Thomas. There was another gentleman serving too who was very helpful but we didn't get his name. The food was better than many higher priced restaurants we have eaten at. Lovely outlook to the rear of the restaurant overlooking a lake. (sit upstairs for nice view) A very refreshing break after a long drive.

I've never seen a Wetherspoons (or a pub for that matter but I've not been looking) at a motorway service station before but I'll miss it when they close it down. It's like any other spoons but it's a decent vibe to chill out on a road trip down south that isn't McDonalds (full of sqwaking kids) or Starbucks (packed). A pint also doesn't go amiss. There are a really interesting range of locally brewed drinks from the Bucks' area which I never saw in a spoons before.

recently i partook a stroll across the m40 and found myself in a quaint little establishment named ‘spetherwoons’. outside i found a strange youth with no hair wearing staff clothing. i asked what he was doing and he told me he was skipping work to play with the frogs. ‘i like to touch their green nobbles’ he told me. ‘when i get hungry i nibble their elbows’. i asked if they did not feed him at spetherwoons and he replied that he preferred to catch his own lunch in the pond. after a brief brace he submerged me into the pond and i drowned now i am dead.

On Monday 27th, we stopped for a quick snack at The Hope & Champion within the Beaconsfield service centre, at around 13,00, on our way to our daughters, and then onto Heathrow. My wife and I, together with our son and his girlfriend each ordered a 3oz burger with drinks, when the came, 3 of them were almost burnt, and the 4th was WITHOUT the burger, our son tried to take it back, but there were so many people in the service area, it was impossible, and we were on a tight schedule, on reflection, I wished I had taken a picture of it. Our son payed the bill on his Weatherspoon app, as it seemed the quickest and easiest way. My wife and I live in Finland, and visit the UK 3 or 4 times a year, and we always make sure we visit Wetherspoons, as they are always good value, and in nice surroundings, a few days earlier we were in The Square Peg, Birmingham, and had a really nice time. If you look at my review history, you will see most reviews are extremely positive, I gave Wetherspoons the opportunity to reply before posting this, but I got a pretty standard response, saying it had been passed to the manager, and they will do better in the future.

i am extremely angry. i arrived at services looking for a big yummy jacket potato. when the waiter,josh (as i learnt his name was after calling the police) arrived he just told me there was no water and walked away. i tried to follow him to ask for a menu but he took his shoes off and wiggled his toes in my face. i asked to see the manger but josh just burped and dropped a pizza on my head. he then apologised and use the corner of his sleeve to wipe the pizza of my head. some cheese went down my neck. i was horrified . i walked out and will never be coming back. he was fit though.

The Falcon in High Wycombe’s food always looks and smells good. So thought I would give Beaconsfield services a go as there is plenty of parking. Opted for the small breakfast with an extra portion of bacon. Helped myself to coffee from the machine which was not very hot. Plate arrived with an extra egg and not the extra bacon. The meal was Luke warm with the beans almost cold. Decently cooked though. The venue was very busy, but with a passing trade, quality and service is poor. Over all, I would try another Wetherspoons pub and see if standards are the same.

I visited here earlier today, whilst I was on a tacho break as I have done a few times before.There was a blonde lady wearing a face visor working there, due to Covid, and she was great! Very professional and helpful and nothing was too much trouble.The best customer service I've experienced in a long time!

Fantastic full English breakfast for 2 with tea and extra toast. Fantastic value and staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Will definitely detour off the motorway to come here again. 😁

After a long journey through the early hours of the morning, I fell for the temptation of a £4.99 breakfast with a hot beverage for £1.29! Soon as the door opened, I made the order and took just under 30 minutes for the food to arrive it was a tad longer than expected but the food quality wasn't offensive, the toast and butter were really nice and I'm not overly avid about fried eggs but I left with a clean plate, full stomach, and a happy face! Service from what appeared to be the only waitress in the building made the whole experience smooth and relaxing, and the layout and cleanliness of the place was amazing!The portion was a tad smaller than I expected but for the price you can't moan, you definitely get more for your money in a breakfast at Toby Carvery, overall it's a great place for a pit stop.

Ordered a full English. Asked for Ketchup to accompany it only to be perfunctorily informed by uncaring staff that they didn't have any. Bear in mind this restaurant shares a service station space with some 5/6 other fast food enterprises (McDonalds; KFC etc). So not beyond any enterprising employee (of which there are clearly none) to obtain this most basic of condiments for customers. Beggars belief - hopefully this place will shortly be placed on permanent furlough by the very British public it's proprietor so speciously claims to speak for.

Super friendly staff. Full English for £4.99. Free coffee refills! (You change mugs between each). Anti bac everywhere. Lots of clear signs and social distance lines. Outdoor seating area is nice as is the upstairs. Affordable, food comes quickly and nice coffee. Staff are so good.

Normally I would recommend The Hope and Champion, the food is nice and the staff friendly. However, really disappointed with the utter disregard for COVID regulations by the Weatherspoon staff this weekend. The restaurant caters well in assisting its customers with hand sanitisers, screens, plenty of track and trace forms and well spaced tables. However, the staff are not wearing either masks or visors even when handling food. At one point I had to get up and move away when the waitress leaned right over me. A shame to go to so much trouble and expense installing all the screens, one way systems and hand sanitisers to then have staff breathing all over the guests and food and generally ignoring every piece of government advice.

We met up with my son for a meal there - Sunday mid-afternoon. There's a gorgeous huge garden outside with plenty of seating and a lake. Were not required to give our names, just walked in. Plenty of sanitiser available to use. Staff all friendly and service was very quick after ordering on the app. I hadn't done that before but was very impressed as it saved having to stand in line at the bar for service, but you have to pay by card on the app. The food was faultless except for the chips, which were very disappointing but we ordered several 'small plates' and everything else was absolutely top quality, particularly the battered prawns, best I've ever had. Next time I'd order a double portion of those!

OK place in good location but staff struggling to try to comply with post lockdown new hygiene rules as some customers just ignored them. i.e. Notices asking customers to keep apart and not move chairs too close to other diners. But despite staff reminding diners they were ignored when we called in for lunch. Some were abusive. Other new rules ignored too, by a few. . Some unhygienic/suicidal diners!! Good value meals and drinkies and pleasant lake and woodland to stroll in. Wash your hands, douse in sanitiser provided and you might reduce risk/survive!

After visiting Wetherspoons at Beaconsfield services as part of a football coach travelling to Wembley on 1/3/20, we arrived at approx 9.30am for breakfast, my partner, daughter and myself found a table and ordered drinks via the table app, 5 minutes later we ordered breakfast via table app, we have used this system before without problems, after waiting approx 15 minutes we was still waiting for our drinks, after asking two waiting staff were they were, was told twice I will find out. Our breakfast arrived first followed by drinks, yes we got breakfast but no cutlery, so again after waiting approx 7 minutes for cutlery two sets turn up, we ordered three meals, to which point then the food was stone cold, I asked what I was suppose to eat mine with...my fingers, to which I got a very vacant look from the idiot waiter...by this point I’d had enough and gave him my breakfast back and asked for a refund, my partner and daughter ate some of theirs but not all as it was stone cold and discussing, after 10 minutes or so I asked the waiter I’d returned my meal too if my refund had been sorted, to which he replied, I need to get a manager to do it.....I was fuming by this point and told him to go get a manager to come to me and fast....a young woman by the name of Poppy came and apologised and said she would sort my refund....she asked me to go to the bar with her, which I did and to be fair to her she refunded all three meals, my point of this review is they were clearly under staffed that day and not prepared for the amount of footfall that was going to Beaconsfield Wetherspoons, there were three football team supporters heading down to Wembley and London that day and they should have knew the amount of people it would bring, Beaconsfield is one of the busiest services on M1, and so is The Wetherspoons The Hope and Champion pub there, it was clearly bad management for not being prepared for this, the other outlets at the services seemed to be coping as I had to go get breakfast from elsewhere after returning mine in Wetherspoons, I don’t think I will ever visit this establishment again and would not advice anyone else to either, who wants cold food, doppy waiting staff that haven’t got a clue.My advice STAY AWAY FROM THE HOPE AND CHAMPION AT BEACONSFIELD SERVICES M1

Friday, it was fish & chip night. They ran out of fish. The place was full of uncleared tables. Not a great experimce.

Wetherspoons was not busy when we arrived with many tables being free and it was 07:30.Ordered 2 large breakfasts and a sausage butty with drinks. Food arrived quickly. Perfect you would think!!No. Despite food arriving quickly it was all cold even though it was cooked. Toast was still like bread and couldn’t believe I was eating at Wetherspoons with this poor standard. Advised the member of staff who served the tables who just said sorry and took our unfinished plates. Appalled to think that a chef could send out cold breakfast food for people to eat so not sure if it was cooked and then left somewhere before serving or it had been stood without heat. Even the bacon and sausage were cold and tiny eggs which did not look appetising. We remained at the table after plates had been cleared away to finish off our drinks which were the only positive thing about the meal as they were hot.No one came to our table after we had mentioned the cold food to offer any apology.I asked to speak to the manager as I stopped a member of staff who had initially took payment from myself. I was told that she herself was the Manager and was called Lois. Lois offered no apology for the cold food or anything further she could do and had a basically dismissive attitude of can’t be bothered.Not really what you wish to experience from a Manager.She did however suggest I could write a review on trip advisor........ so here it is.VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM LOISTHE CANT BE BOTHERED MANAGER.

It's a modern Wetherspoons place with good interior. Fast service and plenty of seating area. The food was your typical average quality what you would expect from a Wetherspoons. I would recommend this place if you want a cheap bite or a drink and not pay over the top for one. The toilets could've done with being a bit more cleaner as it was wet and no tissue paper however i would visit again.

Me and Becky stopped here and I got a Sunday brunch and pepsi and becky got scampi and chips and a wine for £20. The staff were friendly and the food and restaurant tasty and clean. Lovely place to stop

As much as I love my local Spoons, the idea of a pub on a motorway has always seemed anachronistic to me.Glad of a break to the journey and a variation from the usual services food.We ordered pancakes and s traditional breakfast. They were delivered within 3 minutes. So much for fresh and cooked to order.It was all okay but could have been so much better. The sausage had a consistency that felt like sawdust. The fried egg was like warm at best. Bacon and beans were good. Hash browns undercooked. The pancakes tasted like they were fresh from the microwave.I guess you get what you pay for.Hasn't put me off Spoons though

I visited for a quick lunch on 28th Jan. Was served at the bar by a happy, friendly woman who knew exactly what she was doing from the menu to how long food would take. My food came out while I was on the phone, she kindly put under the warmer for me. Spot on job.Ultimate burger and unlimited coffee.Just the job

Good service. But the food came out barley warm. The plates were cold to start with , so the food cooled very quick. This is not for the first time, so get your act together, there are other places.

Wetherspoons always deliver in quality and value. Despite the initial lack of heating, this location delivered exceptionally well.

Me and Becky stopped here with my parents for a spot of lunch and food was tasty, good value for money and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Well worth stopping there

Stopped in for breakfast as I was on my way to London.

We went in here for lunch. The good thing about a wetherspoons is you always know what you gonna get. Service was pretty good. Food was pretty good.

Actually a nice 'spoons', cheaper, better quality than the standard fare at the rest of the service station. We just happened to get a veggie /vegan hater as a server. Turned his nose up whilst giving my wife her veggie breakfast and then said here's your vegan thing. Then went on to tell us about his family and their meat eating habits. Then told us that abroad they basically didn't pander to the likes of us and that we would just have to eat the same as everyone else! Made us both feel really uncomfortable and was totally unnecessary. We never once mentioned our diet preferences and we don't judge anyone else on theirs.

Unfortunately when we arrived they had just had a fire alarm. After a short wait, for the pizza oven to be restarted after the alarm, we soon had our order. 8 inch pizza for daughter, steak for hubby and a vegetable lasagne for me. Mine was delicious, the others were ok, nothing outstanding. There is plenty of parking available as it is on the site of the M40 services at Beaconsfield.

We have been here a few times on the way home from various places and each time we have had a good experience and good food. Today was no exception. Two pizzas and a fish and chips all very good. 2 pints of diet Pepsi and a coffee refill too. Good value! Friendly polite staff.

The food was pretty average and very slow arriving. It took a long time to actually order our food as the staff were so slow and the app wasn't working. The table was sticky and the sauce 'suitcase' was icky.

A great modern pub and restaurant awaits those passing through or staying next door in the Ibis Budget (also as good). Typical Weatherspoon s menu....good quality food at reasonable prices with pleasant and helpful staff....

Came here by taxi after staying nearby Pleasant pub with the usual menu We didn’t want lots so had 2 pizzas and some chicken bites for £10 Just felt strange it being in a services

Excellent Staff, Great Beers Stayed overnight at the services on a long journey, nice to have the option of a Wetherspoons

Very good food as expected from a Wetherspoons. Quick and friendly service. Good value for money as always with the pub chain.

We stopped for lunch at the Beaconsfield M40 Services and chose to eat in The Hope & Anchor. I am gald that we did. The welcome was very friendly and the service was quick and efficient. They also did everything they could to make sure that our meal was what we wanted. My wife is Gluten Free and they adapted dishes from different parts of their menu to produce a meal for her. An added bonus was that the exterior dining area was dog friendly.

Having read mixed reviews here on Tripadvisor, we did however decide to visit The Hope and Champion.

Popped here for lunch after the gym and it was totally acceptable to look a little scruffy. Was very busy, but it didn't slow our food down at all! Quick, cheap and casual. Will probably be coming back soon.

Stopped at the Beaconsfield Services & instead of the usual McDonalds or Starbucks went into the new Weatherspoons. Refillable coffee & somewhere comfortable to sit for £1.50, very good value. Food was reasonably priced for a service station.

Stayed at beaconsfeild services for a night ( in the hotel). Went to wetherspoons for my evening meal. Food was good and evening staff were great. I returned in the morning for breakfast, food was good and most of the staff were great. Only complaint was, as I was sat near the bar eating my breakfast i overheard a male member of staff talking to a customer and refering to wetherspoons usual clients as "Pond life". This is a digusting thing to say about the people who use this chain daily.

Just visited and what a little gem of a place £13 for 2 breakfasts and u/l tea and coffee. The staff are very friendly and courteous couldn't fault it. Well done Wetherspoons. Well done staff who were very busy but extremely polite and friendly!! Hope Wetherspoons recognise you all.

A 'Spoons at a service station..... Attracts a better clientele than most spoons, and not as busy, food is their standard menu but this place is a little oasis of quiet in a hugely busy service station, prices good and service quick.

We've been to Beaconsfield services many times but always skipped past the wetherspoons in favour of McDonald's. Not any more! It's big, with comfy chairs and a lovely outdoor seating area. Lots of booth seats. Unlimited coffee and working WiFi. Clean toilets. Friendly chatty staff. Much better than the official services next door. We're definitely stopping in here next time!

HaNDY POPULAR EATERIE in nice suroundings with lake and woodland plus terrace to dine on. Staff usually cheery. Food good value and tasty. Even locals eat here.

It was nice to sit in a proper English pub on my journey up the M40 and have a nice "full English" I use these services a lot as I regularly travel between London and Bicester and like the variety and quality of service here

Hidden Gem. Yes, it's a standard run of the mill Wetherspoons, but they charge the same prices as the high street, a refreshing change from other outlets who charge ££ on top of their normal prices at such locations.

Ordered the chicken korma from The Curry club menu which tasted of nothing I’m sure this was made the previous day and warmed up left hungry as didn’t want to waste any more money

Great food, service and prices; with the added bonus of a lovely location as far as Weatherspoons go this one is top notch

This Weatherspoons is located at Beaconsfield Services next door to an Ibis Budget hotel. This establishment has kept the prices true to a typical Weatherspoons unlike many motorway service outlets. It is open all day from 6.00am serving breakfast to late at night.

Returning home from a long day, we stopped off at The Hope and Champion. There were still a couple of tables free for 5.30pm on a weekday. The staff were personable and friendly. We ordered 2 pizzas - pepperoni and spicy meat. Both looked picture perfect, made from fresh dough and tasted delicious. Nice change from the traditional Wetherspoon menu.

Used this pub and restaurant umpteen times and each time impressed. Value for money meals, friendly efficient staff, good outlook over lake and woodland with play area for kids. We're locals and have taken relatives and friends there for tasty meals. Never thought I'd be impressed by a motorway service area diner but this one is good. Busy site just off the M40 but luckily most people make a b-line for Macdonalds, Nandos etc etc in the main buildings and few discover this pub.

We visited this branch of Wetherspoons passing through as most will. As Wetherspoons go, it wasn’t a great experience, we ordered via the app and sat in outside. Eventually, some cold food turned up after about 30 minutes, the drinks weordered with it I had to chase up at that point. We’d not received them. The drinks finally cam once we’d finished the food and we rushed them down to try and make the anticipated 30 minute stop into less than an hour (we didn’t manage it).

This was a work visit stopping on the route home. This experience at a motorway services was excellent. The manager and her staff were so attentive. Pleasant and courteous? Food was just right! The atmosphere was just right! The price was perfect.

Next door to the budget Ibis hotel, which is really convenient if you’re picking someone up from Heathrow in the morning.

Located at Beaconsfield Services, The Hope and Champion is a fantastic pub with a good range of cheap drinks as well as a great patio with views of a lake. This is the best place I've ever been to at a services.

Brilliant place to stop on the way to Wembley at beaconsfield services. Why do people queue at the fast food next door, when you can have a good same price meal at the Wetherspoons?

Popped in this pub after a visit to Beaconsfield as stayed at the Ibis hotel next door. Very efficient bar staff but the general appearance in the bar was a bit scruffy, and very noisy with a number of large groups of teenagers on this Saturday night. Did not try the food options.

I seem to be doing the rounds of Spoons at present. Had lunch here while passing. Strange location do not sure how much alcohol they sell but the usual selection at reasonable prices. Clean and pleasant surroundings,you can even sit outside by the lake

I visited the hope and champion the other evening with some friends for some drinks and a meal. I was looking forward to my meal as the way it was worded on the menu sounded really appertising, well I was completely wrong. It was the worst burger I had, the chips were soggy, the burger was burnt and hard, the cheese on the burger? Don’t get me started, it was cold and not melted at all like it had just come out of the fridge and the bacon? Can you even call that bacon? The members of staff were also so umprofessional, I spoke to a waiter who didn’t have much to say and went and got his manager, who really shouldn’t be a manager because the way he treated my complaint was awful, said they don’t have to have their cheese melted or hot on the burger? Isn’t that normal. Also didn’t offer me a refund which I’m not too fussed about receiving, he could’ve just offered it and make me feel as though I should return. If you go there just grab a pint.

We had Chile concerned but it was not that tasty and the sour cream was missing. The area and tables had not been properly cleaned throughput the day

It was a lovely day for February and most people were sitting outside. The pub offers a quiet alternative to the noisy concourse next door with all its food outlets. We had a meal on our way home. it was nothing special, but the service was satisfactory and the price reasonable.

Stopped here on route to Oxford both my wife and I had the fish and chips . . Fish Friday what else Very friendly and helpful member of staff served us Food was excellent . . Well cooked and very tastey

This restaurant is ideally situated at Beaconsfield Services. We arranged a family get together with folks travelling from Suffolk, Clapham, West Midlands and Gloucestershire. The staff were so friendly and efficient, the food and drinks were lovely and the setting overlooking the partially frozen lake was perfect.

I have visited and been happy with The Hope and Champion before. Normally good food and excellent service. Today they let Tim Martin down. I went to order my food and didn’t receive a welcome. I ordered steak and onion rings at 8.40 pm. I noticed the girl who I gave the order to then went off shift only to come back and sit by my table with a takeaway from one of the fast food outlets at the services. One of the staff then came and said she couldn’t eat something she brought in so she went to get her coat and left. I waited and waited for my order and after 40 minutes went to enquire. My receipt was scrutinised and a guy went to find out what had happened. He said he would give me some money back but that never took place. After another 15 minutes he appeared and said he had personally supervised the order but offered no explanation for the delay. There were five chips and the steak was just about ok but luke warm. However no onion rings. He said he would go and get them. Eventually I had to go and ask again and the onion rings turned up as i was finishing my meal. They were dried out and some were burnt. What was galling was that no one seemed to care. As I said previous experience had been good but I will now avoid the Hope and Champion.

Called in on the way back to HQ after a yearly staff meeting in London.

I have been dining at this spoons for 3 months now and the food and service has been exceptional.

Flying stop on the spur of the moment, Thursday evening at about 7, expected the bar to be busy but no... straight in and sat, ordered immediately and food in front of us within 5 minutes.

We stopped off here for a couple of small breakfasts and refillable coffees. It was busy but the staff were friendly and efficient and the food was hot and delicious. Better than stopping off at a fast food restaurant.

Pub on the site of a motorway/village service station. Usual Wetherspoon menu - not an expensive menu - obviously not all hand prepared but adequate food for a good value price & fairly quick service - especially considering at a service station where prices are always higher than average. Two levels - bar, self service tea/coffee machines & seating/tables ground floor & further tables on an upper floor. Staff friendly. Generous portion of fish & chips - well cooked, chips nice, crispy batter on the fish & tasty mushy peas. £9.50 for the fish & chips & a soft drink or tea/coffee with free refills. You are not rushed to finish. Clean toilets upstairs so you don’t have to walk through to the service station to the ones the other side. Children’s menu, high chairs for families & children’s play area outside opposite side of the lake. (Kids animal park & a model village both a short drive away) Entrance level for wheelchairs & disabled parking spaces right outside (disabled loos ground floor). Free parking. Marks & Spencer & WH Smith on services site as well for shopping as well as several other food outlets. Basic budget hotel next door so this would be a good option for breakfast or hot meals when staying there.

I went to this pub for breakfast, it was served quickly and was of good quality. The pub is quite large inside and there is also an extensive outside seating area, the pub is attached to a motorway service area. Recommended.

Visited this Wetherspoon pub on 3 nights in a row. first for food and then for pints. Service was OK. The cost of pints seemed reasonable, probably cheaper than the average. It is part of the M40 Services at Junction 2. Would come again if in the neighborhood.

As with all Wetherspoon pubs (well at least the ones I visited in the last couple of years) has improved a lot. Food is better, service is better all together a pleasant experience.

Visited here for breakfast. We are local to he area and forgot that prices would be higher as at a service station.

This place was the best spoons for food I have ever been to for the first few years of opening. I used to think the food rivalled TGIS and was certainly better value. It has gone downhill in recent months in my opinion. We went recently and sent a burger back twice. The picture was the second attempt. Was given money back for that dish and associated drink no qualms, but we left with one of our party members dissatisfied. The manager said the grill is heating too high. That said, we will go back and will probably have buttermilk chicken burger next time.

3 times the wife's breakfast went back and it was still crap the final time they microwaved the breakfast making it inedible including the customary RUBBER EGG.... would be better if they employed a real chef/cook instead of somebody that has probably only worked in a burger van avoid this place at all costs we SHOULD of gone to macdonalds food would of been a lot better

Asked for a Pepsi Max which is advertised all over here. None. Diet Pepsi? None. Diet Coke? None. Any sugar free drinks suitable for diabetics ? Nah have a glass of water.

We stopped off here for breakfast to start our holiday, and were very disappointed. We ordered cooked breakfasts, which took ages to come and then they were just lukewarm. While I appreciate they had a staff shortage, I don’t feel that excuses such poor service. Wouldn’t visit again.

They try hard but I have had a very poor pint of abbots twice now ...The food is the standard fare but deals have soft drinks only because of drink drive ??? but what if you are a passenger.

Stayed at these services a number of years ago and it was a really nice Wetherspoons stayed here again this weekend and it was barely worth bothering

Fast service and the drinks were good, chicken burger was tough as though it had stood waiting and this was 10.30 in the morning, my guess is warmed up from previous day, no toilet paper in gents toilet, last checked at 6am time now 11.00am have been to worse but also had better from wetherspoons.

I hope this is the right location for this pub, it was at the services on the way back from Gatwick. We were all feeling pretty rough having been up since 3am to fly back from Iceland. Although it was busy we got served quickly and the food arrived hot. I had a few gluten free options which is always important when selecting places to eat.

A group of friends met here for a breakfast/brunch meal. I had not been here before and was impressed with facilities and the good food. It was served on lovely blue and white plates, not boring white, and food was surprisingly good. No complaints from 12 of us. Would visit again.

Typical high standards in presentation in spoons the let down was attention to detail, chicken pizza with no chicken, dirty cutlery and the staff to busy talking about what there watching at the cinema then talking to the few customers they did have

We have stopped here before as our daughter lives in Kent and it’s a great place to stop to recharge your batteries before the silliness which is called the M25. We had a great experience on the outward journey and really lovely brunch with excellent service. Lots of vegetarian choices with a couple of vegan choices too so suits me fine. However our return visit wasn’t so good. It was a Monday lunchtime during the school holidays and there was only one person behind the bar. He was taking food orders and trying to serve drinks too. He was doing his best under the circumstances but we had to wait ages to get served. Fortunately we were only having drinks this time rather than a meal, but I did see a few people give up and walk away. More staff needed to be serving, hence the three star rating otherwise I would have given 5 stars. If you are lucky enough to stop while there are plenty of staff serving,this is an excellent restaurant with good prices and great menu choices.

A group of 7 family memebera visited this resteramt after being there many times before with no issues but will not be visiting again.

Good weather spoons next to Ibis hotel. Had a few drinks whilst watching the football. Staff attentive, good prices (good considering you are at a services where everything is usually more expensive!) Great place for staying in the hotel next door :-)

Had a break here from our journey. got plenty of places to sit including upstairs and outside .overlooking a pond . the pond was full of koi carp. no fault to be found great spoons

We stayed in the Ibis Hotel next door which was excellent value and were looking forward to a nice Wetherspoons meal when we arrived in the evening. For a start, they could only take cash, then, even though it was Friday, they had run out of their 'Fish Friday' fish and chips. So, I had the scampi and hubby the steak and ale pie. For over £10 pounds for my meal, I expected something a bit better. There were only 8 scampi and 18 chips and barely a spoonful of peas (no lemon!) and my hubby's (for about £9) had a pie that looked quite sad and obviously pinged and also 18 chips though he had a few more peas than I (is 18 chips a policy?). Then, breakfast in the morning, though served promptly, was not all that hot and the eggs were like rubber and cold. We've had Wetherspoons before that was much better. Maybe they were just having a bad couple of days.

We were staying at the hotel next door so popped in to Wetherspoon for breakfast. We opted to eat outside as it was a beautiful morning. The view across the lake was very pleasant and we made use of the childrens play area. The breakfast was good value but they had run out of porridge (!). Also they could only take cash on this particular day.

My sister and I stop for breakfast after travelling up from Worthing and having an hours delay on the M25 whilst a helicopter landed to help the injured. It was upsetting to see so we stopped at the next available services and The Hope and Champion was a delight. I had eggs royale which were delicious with a mug of coffee that I could endlessly top up for £5.99 and my sister had beans on toast and a latte coffee which were both very good for £2.99 so a bargain. I would definitely do back when passing again. As expected the toilets were good far better than the ones in the services.
