A lovely wetherspoons with everything you'd expect. Their usual menu and drinks are available. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating and surprisingly there isn't a mountain to climb for the toilets. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Been here a number of times and food/drinks have always arrived promptly. Clean and tidy.

Had a lovely lunch here with friends, the food was really good, the atmosphere was nice and the whole layout of the pub was perfect. Less than £56 for 3 adult meals, 2 kids meals, 2 side orders and drinks, bargain!

One of the nicer Wetherspoons. For once it doesn't stink, it's in a nice old historic building, bright with fun decoration inside. Good beer garden at the back.

Very unhygienic place food on empty tables for gyration stay. Plates dishes and cutlery all over the place and looked under staffed. Really needs better management. The drinks were fine and I would call again but check through the window first.

Had a Meal here it was the Worst Meal I have ever, how hard is it to cook a burger, it came out burnt, sent it back and on return was no better. My wife had grilled chicken, it was so dry couldn't get a knife to cut it.

I really fancied myself some bred (don't ask me why, just had a craving). Looked on the app and to my horror, bread was £1.34 for TWO SLICES!!! I couldn't quite believe it. Having priced check this with other well known establishments it was almost double the price of the nearest competitor. Needless to say I was not impressed and WILL NOT be buying this again. Kind regards Jemal

Just walked in after work. Ordered a pint, and the fella behind the bar refuses to pour my pint until I'd paid. Apparently, this is pub policy, not a Wetherspoon policy. I've been in some Wetherspoon places in tremendously rough areas, and never ever been asked to pay first. This is weak management, not being able to deal with customers who order drinks and don't pay. Absolutely pathetic

Well i like to come to this pub but today's attitude of the barmaid, Grace, was the worst i've seen in long time. I came here with my son for a meal and a drink, no lasagne, no pizza and so other things on the menu. When I've got the soft drink she already put ice, i said no ice please. She got angry saying, you didn't say that. I replied, you should ask if I want ice, my money. She said: tell that to my manager, very offended. I left and I came back for a straw and obviously she said we don't have any, waiting for delivery. Understand that, suppose she had any, she wouldn't give anything. Sorry for the bad review, this is as a circumstance at the barmaid attitude, I came here at least once a week with my son and my wife, sometimes 2-3 times a week, we like this place, we like wetherspoons, but we should be treat nice.

Not great, pretty rushed. Hardly any food being served still out of staff. Ordered the extra 4 poppadoms and dips only 2 turn up. Asked the waiter for the other two told no and I was wrong.Got a menu pointed it out. Asked again got told he was to busy. Went to the manager explained again (got another no to start with) ...had to explain I wasn't happy with the service. "So what you are saying is you should have 6 poppadoms" err yes as I ordered (they were to share) No apology for the service. Really odd if you make a mistake, it happens... Eventually 2 poppadoms turn up. Not great and we are regulars

This was very near where we were staying overnight so called in for dinner. My first choice not available so went for pasta as did not fancy much on the menu. Shocked when it came out as only a tiny amount in bowl - couple of spoonfuls? Very congealed and pasta starting to go brown on edges as seems to have been waiting around under heat light. Husband satisfied with his fish and chips. I had finished the pasta well before he finished his meal and still felt hungry as so little of it. Complained to young man collecting plates and he admitted it had been prepared well in advance of ordering. They should be ashamed of charging nearly £10 for a bowl of next to nothing!

I've admired this pub for quite some time. It's well run, and does a good job despite being short of staff at times (this is not their fault, I assume, but the product of a labour famine). I would pick out a guy called Pete, who works like a Trojan but also takes the time to be friendly and have a chat with customers when he can. Times are hard, and especially this winter with the cost of living crisis and sky-high energy bills, this pub has become a refuge for people who need the warm and for just over a quid can get unlimited hot drinks. It's a good place.

Doesn't look big from outside but that's deceptive. Nice airy building on one level. Outside seating area at the rear. Nice atmosphere. Didn't eat here but had a couple of Stella's. Prices were £3.60 for a pint which is usual for Tim's establishments. I really like Tonbridge. Premier inn a mile away with rooms for £85.00 per night. Walk to the train station. 4 stops to Charing Cross. Watch a show head back & save £200.00 on a hotel in London. Use the money you save on a lovely meal next door to the Premier Inn at the Vauxhall Inn. Can't go wrong. Try it & leave a comment

Been here before and it was fine but today not great. The gammon came out and the guy said the chef didn't have any eggs to go with it. We weren't give any other option or told when ordered. The guy went back to the kitchen and the chef offered poach eggs. We accepted and guessed that the eggs must already come in poached as they could have done fried. The portion of chips is just ridiculous. it's more like a childs portion.The pizza was so undercooked when I picked it up the topping slid off and you could also fold over like a wrap. Sent it back and the new one was fine. Couldn't find any serviets anywhere, requested them and the guy forgot to get them so had to ask again. The queuing thing at the bar isn't clear and if that is what they expect then make a sign to avoid awkward conversations with others when they just lean against the bar in front of you. Not impressed with staff, no one seemed friendly or keen to assist. The guy collecting glasses looked like a gangster. I think you guys needs to up your game. Just low prices will not keep people coming back.
