Popped in for a drink and fast friendly service and lovely and warm inside! Was staying at the other end of the town so didn't need food! Other family near us got food and seemed really content! Lovely place to visit very spacious and clean 👌 will pop in next time in the area 😀

Food is rather decent but sometimes the rice can be clumped together almost like it has been reheated without enough water for the rice to absorb

I recently visited this pub and found it to be quite basic. Unfortunately, the food quality was poor, and I wouldn't recommend it. If you're just looking for a simple meal, like a hamburger, you might find it acceptable, but it didn't meet my expectations. Overall, I don’t think I'll be returning.

Choose the rib steak from the specials board, £2.00 discount on the book price, so really good value....added the peppercorn sauce to add some extra flavour, really disappointed that it had no peppercorns and whilst the colour was ok the texture was like wall paper paste! I will give them the benefit of the doubt on this one due to it's great value offerings throughout the country. Get it right guys, you only get one chance at a 1st impression.

It's a Wetherspoons, from the cheap, tasty and slightly unhealthy food to the carpet supplied with adhesive on so you stick to it. The staff are generally efficient and friendly, unlike a lot of other branches I've been in. One caveat is that the WiFi there is a bit rubbish. You'll need phone data to use the app to order.

"We all know I love a Wetherspoon, But anyway, I visited Alton for a friend's wedding and stopped in a local hotel. As they didn't serve food, we used this place for breakfast most mornings and one evening meal We enjoyed lovely breakfasts on our three morning visits, with plenty of good-quality, unlimited teas and coffees. However, in the evening, the staff seemed indifferent to the place. There were a few issues going on, but mine was that the table was dirty. I asked the same staff member twice to clear and wipe it, we got also our food before our drinks. That wouldn't stop me from returning, as it's still value for money, and I know this isn't the usual Wetherspoon standard."

The menu is less varied than it used to be if you do not want a burger. If you do want a burger, there is more variety. It's basically something from the grill and not much of anything else. Great value, of course, and the food you do get is decent enough for a budget restaurant.

Shocking poor service, incompetent kitchen staff and management. Clueless about service and rectifying issues. Handed back food that was not even lukewarm to be told it's fine it's been probed! Laughable behaviour. Handed partial refund with no ounce of an apology even after sending out a vegetarian plate with chicken on it. Avoid at all possibilities even if on a budget.

Literally had my food ripped away from me, even though I ordered my food half an hour before they told us we had to move inside Manager told us they could justify it because I was still eating whilst they were moving everyone inside. George, the manager, said that because we’d been asked to move inside that it was ok for the server to rip my food away. Awful establishment. Don’t bother.

Lovely Wetherspoons on the corner in Alton. Was amazed how the how the coffee was only £1.04 with free refills. The lady that served me was really nice and as I popped out to collect my car still allowed me the free refill. Great spot to get some sunshine as this place gets the sun all day and is popular in the summer. Huge pay and display carpark to the rear and right next to Sainsbury’s.

Visited today for lunch with friends. Very busy as you’d expect this time of the year & the schools on holiday. The food was fine & arrived promptly. However, the tables & seating were dirty. My chair was filthy & had what looked like years of grime, especially on the arms. The floor of the ladies toilets was sticky & I had to try 3 cubicles to find one with a serviceable door or lock. The place needs a thorough deep clean & toilets maintained before I think about returning. I’ve given good reviews in the past for this venue but standards have obviously slipped.

Well what an amazing pub - definitely barged its way into my top 10 spoons. A spoons that leaves its traditional decor far behind and embraces a wonderful meter of old and new. First of all, outside: how much seating does one place require? Heaps apparently and it's all here on all three sides. The bar is opposite the main entrance with a good deal of seating in front of it. Then it's down some stairs (although there is a little lift for those who need it) to a warren of little rooms and seating areas spread over the level. The staff were very friendly and constantly doing something- always a good sign. The brekkie was perfect as was the Guinness.

Didn't get told bits of our order were not available - even when given our meals, then they can't substitute or reimburse due to the system - what was managed arrived after we'd finished everything else. Sauce for steak wasn't available, and it took 15mins for them to substitute - steak kinda eaten/cold by then. Food wasn't exactly hot when served. The manager of the shift did his best, but not the greatest experience.

A usual quick stop to wetherspoons that I have been to many times usually leaves me a satisfied customer. However, on this occasion, it was truly appalling. To have a limited menu due to low stock is one thing, but to charge me then turned up empty-handed is another. The refund should be with you in 5 working days. It better be. The pizza was stone cold and surly frying an egg has to be the easiest task imaginable. Not this time, crusty and hard. Disgusting is a word I will have to use on this occasion. The steak medium, please, not raw. And if ordering ice cream, not ideal, leaving under a hot counter as it tends to melt. Will be skipping weatherspoons from now on. Thanks.

Food arrived cold. I politely and gently asked for a replacement. Despite how polite and friendly I was - no apology or appropriate response was given from the manager, who just ordered another plate and huffed off. The replacement food never arrived. Other tables around us started complaining that they also hadn’t received food to replace their original food sent back. After roughly 40 mins I went to enquire about the food, and the manager was unprofessional, rude and argumentative. After losing my temper (probably because I was starving by this point) I asked for a full refund, which she didn’t even give me, she was too busy coming up with excuses - explaining the food was “now ready” and “you moved tables” (which we did after 5 mins of ordering, 2 meters from the original table). It wasn’t even busy. The amount of people looking around for their food and sending back unacceptable food is not the fault of the customers. It’s poor service, poor management, and abysmal customer service all round.

Having visited since before the venue formally opened, I am in a good position to pass judgement. Sadly the verdict is not great. The execution of dishes and service used to be good. In the last eight months this has changed. Dishes are frequently under or overcooked (rare steaks abound and when recooked are served burnt with cold fries and veg) service is sloppy and careless and the bill is often wrong (in their favour of course) Staff routinely "forget" or even argue (!) with customers. When I have spoken with duty managers, they seem completely disinterested and offer no compensation. In short, the place has deteriorated to the point that I will no longer visit. A real shame as it started well. Update August 24th 2023. Burgers small tables sticky and next to no fries. Still 1 star.

We went for one of the midweek roast events and what a disappointment it was. There was a very lukewarm welcome when we arrived and we were directed to the table with a point of the finger. The food was served quickly and just plonked in front of us. There was no asking what we’d pre-ordered so two of us got the wrong meals. This was rectified when we told them. It was hot but was very mediocre. I think my lamb died of old age. I couldn’t cut it, it was that tough. The potatoes were OK, the peas were peas that had once been frozen, carrots overcooked, the gravy was like water, the parsnips were OK and the saving grace was the cheese sauce on the cauliflower/brocolli. The Apple crumble was nice but again just plonked in front of us. The custard was lumpy. How much was all of this? It was a whopping £25 a head without so much as a jug of water on the table. It was daylight robbery. We wont be back.

I booked a table in the restaurant for a special occasion. On arrival we were told that there was a half hour wait for food. We were fine with this as we understand it was a busy time with it being the fireworks night locally. What we were not prepared for was the unfortunate attitude of the supervisor when we complained to her about it being an excessive wait of one and a half hours for the food. She did not care at all. She was smirking . The food was very nice. But the supervisor did not care that the lateness of the food caused us to miss the fireworks night locally. We thought 2 hours prior to it was adequate enough. Had we been told there was over an hour to wait for food we would have cancelled our booking. I am sure supervisor will not care but we will not be returning. We can overlook food being late but will not overlook the poor attitude of this supervisor that clearly did not give a hoot and actually smirked when we told her we had missed the fireworks.
