The Lord John in Stroud

Absolute joy to go in , bar staff very friendly I can see why it’s in the good beer guide ,ale was excellent with a wide selection of beer. Food came out very promptly and was really tasty ,my friends and I will definitely make a return visit

A lunch stop after getting off the train (the station is nearby). The Lord John is more traditionally pub-like than most 'spoons, which is odd as it's a former Post Office. Lunch was a Small American Breakfast which was a sausage and pancakes and a fried egg - a strange combination - this is a recurring theme recently. The pub has a narrow frontage but goes back a long way to a glass-ceilinged back room. It's a Wetherspoons. Peculiar menu items and cheap beer (not tried).

Wetherspoons on a Sunday afternoon is a family hot spot, cheap food, cheap drinks, bit of sport on the TV. What you don’t need is a group of miserable old men moaning about the noise of happy children, 3 and 9 months, to the extent that they feel they can parent them for me. Telling my son to be quiet. They weren’t crying, they were causing no harm. If you want a quiet pint then pay double in then cocktail bar up the road. They didn’t even eat, just miserable old men taking up a table with their £1.79 pint. When confronted they soon shut up and left. Clearly not family folk. Expected more from a family public house.

Good value for money. I liked the breakfast and good service. I will be back at least once a week. Beer seems very good value and the coffee even more so.

Nice pub and great lady serving. Sunday February 11th. The male customers seem a bit dated in their attitudes. The big let down was the cleaner, who obviously was doing his job well, but the covert misogyny was not welcome. Firstly saying how much more important football was than his wife. If a wife spoke like that we'd be metaphorically burnt and the stake and called selfish lesbians. Then, he went on about how he didn't agree with female footballers as it's not our place and because of our hormones. Question, what about male hormones and their cycles that factually causes more harm. Loud conversations about football prove nothing, the real game matters. I don't see rugby enthusiasts having to act up like this.

Disappointed seeing as it is a Wetherspoon pub. Dirty inside and the upholstery on some of the chairs is in need of replacing. Carpet by the door to the patio was missing and could be a trip hazard ? Sat outside but unfortunately peace was shattered by who I presume were locals sat at table behind, being loud and ‘common’. Don’t get me wrong, I’m no snob but sometimes you just want a quiet drink.

? Cheese & Ham panini but cheese was missing, was offered the same Panini but after the last one decided not to take this offer up but would have excepted to be offered something different if this was a option, maybe I should have asked for something different? Weatherspoons is weatherspoons you usually get the same quality in all of them so you no what you’re going to get. Weatherspoons still great value for food and drink (if the food you ordered comes out as expected)

Really not a nice spot, of course I didn’t expect a red carpet being a Wetherspoons, just cheap and cheerful. It’s cheap but not cheerful, pretty rowdy (and suspiciously young) crowd, and my partner voiced his concerns to the manager (apparently she was) and she didn’t seem to care at all.

After getting off the train and a short walk to the Lord John ,we decided to have a traditional English breakfast each. Whilst waiting, we noted that there was a lot of possible regulars drinking, and it was only 9:15 am 😀. The inside is probably the worst Wetherspoons we have been in ,dirty old furniture, drab decor, dirty worn carpet, the only best thing were the toilets are very clean . Breakfast was OK for the price although it arrived late and not very hot.

We usually stop off at a Wetherspoons for breakfast after an early start on the way home from Devon. This one was so disappointing. After 20 minutes our coffee cups and food still had not arrived. Went to ask and was told there were no clean cups. After a while I went again and there was a basket of them on the bar so I helped myself. Some minutes later our food arrived and it was only the fact that this was the usual good standard that prevented me from giving a lower rating. Finished our meals and the coffee cups we ordered had still not arrived. Unlikely we will call here again

It was scrumptious! Proper British atmosphere here. Me and the business lads really enjoyed the food. Great pizza! It is yummy

Just finished work at 10am and decided to go into the Lord John whilst waiting for my train (on Sundays the last train is 11:45pm). This place is ok for a quick drink but wouldn't want to have a meal here. The tables hasn't been wiped down, rubbish all over the floor and staff walking about not bothering to clean around. Also one of the canvas on the wall has a hole in it.

Sitting here now, it's a Sunday early evening and I'm enjoying my Large Mixed Grill and pint of diet Coke for £12.50, surrounded by information on local historical figures (Laurie Lee, The Lord John himself and many others). Very civilised. It's a very different place on Friday night after 10pm. Lively atmosphere, very busy, very loud, very Stroud. Rich, poor, old, young, teachers, students, neighbours, visitors, all enjoying one big party. It's quite an experience! It's certainly not the Ritz (and it's best not to look too closely at the furniture) but it is greater than the sum of it's parts.

I had an all day brunch. It arrived not hot. The sausages were cheap Walls type and the “two bacon” was wafer thin. My friend had a gammon steal which was dry and tasteless and there was eggshell in her fried egg.

Horrified by behaviour of customers which was not managed by the team. I was spat on by a very drunk customer at 5pm while eating dinner. Also approached by several drunk people. Did not feel safe. Very dirty tables. Food was the only nice part of visit.

Food was OK for the price; obviously all microwaved. Alcohol is very reasonable. They had a new member of staff on who thought he should be manager which was the problem.

This is a spoons. A good spoons. The staff are great, don’t listen to the biased reviews which say otherwise. Food is typically spoons. Not great, not poor. Where else can you get 2 pints and a large pizza for less than £10? It is what it is but the staff are great.

Lovey evening dinner with my wife good food and beer well served and happy staff and very good value for money too my wife have the fish chips were I have the mix grill both filling and hot yes would go back if in the area again

horrible staff didn’t let me in with my friends for a work celebration even though i don’t drink (recovering alcoholic) and didn’t have an ID on me at lunchtime on a Monday. Disgusting. Left me on my own in the rain while all my friends were having a nice time without me just because I don’t drink.

Upon arrival, 5 of us sat at a booth. Not spotting a poorly placed sign, we moved a chair over to make room. A member of staff, young male with glasses, rudely informed us that we couldn't move the furniture, and more than 4 was not allowed at one table (which wasn't signposted). We moved elsewhere and split up across two tables. Said member of staff then delivered our drinks without a word to anyone. When complaining about the lack of welcome and rude service, he ignored us and walked away. Possibly the unfriendliest pub I've ever been to and we won't make the mistake of returning.

Stopped for breakfast, just what we needed, hot and tasty. The waiting staff were friendly and polite and the pub clean and tidy.

Es un típico Wetherspoons con un menú extenso, que sirve comida y bebida rápido a precios más que competitivos. La verdadera diferencia y atractivo para este en particular fue el patio bañado por el sol. . ¡La falta de postres disponibles en nuestra segunda visita no me impediría volver a visitar!

Most if not all the staff are rude. Probably the worst spoons I’ve been to bit of a let down really.

Visited for drinks and a few sharers. Staff were welcoming, food and drink reasonably priced and the surroundings pleasant. Would certainly recommend.

we visited this pub 2 years ago and thought that the pub needed a lick of paint , but 2 years later our opinion has changed , it may have been because the sun was shining but every thing seemed much better, such friendly staff

He comido aquí dos veces a la semana durante mucho tiempo el martes (club de carne) y el viernes para pescado / patatas fritas @ varias veces nunca he tenido una comida mala o incluso no tan buena. El personal siempre es excelente y alegre y el servicio es rápido, como para otras críticas de TA de otros huéspedes, sugiero que miren sus juicios

After plethora of awful weatherspoons food this was a nice change. Eaten here twice now and both times very good. Makes a welcome change to the others.

Experience poor, Quality of fish and chips not up to Wetherspoons normal standard, fish was dry and not full size.. Glasses not cleared. Furniture broken but still in place. Atmosphere depressing. Staff don't seem happy, However my G&T was good.

Great place for choice of Ales And good priced food , as with Most Wetherspoons you know what you're getting but some are Better than others , this place is Always clean and the staff are Good , also good choice of seating and the toilets are Good

This is one of the better wetherspoons, it is clean and service is very good. We went for lunch and the fish and chips were fabulous. We will be back again soon. Thank you

Utilizo este Wetherspoons, ya que es la equidistancia ideal entre mi hogar y el de mis padres y en mi ruta, con sorprendentemente pocos otros JDW en el área real de Cotswolds para compararlo. De vez en cuando tengo comida aquí, pero es principalmente una bebida o dos, para terminar el viaje. El personal está bien, algunos más amables que otros, pero supongo que eso es cierto para la mayoría del personal del pub. La comida ha sido de un buen nivel cada vez que la he probado aquí, la oferta real de bebidas ale generalmente es promedio: aunque generalmente es un pub muy concurrido, ¡por lo que nunca es fácil obtener los mejores asientos aquí a veces!

Why would you want to come here? Maybe it's the cheap, microwaved food, maybe it's the disgusting end of barrel beer, or maybe it's the atmosphere!

Llamé a tomar una copa antes de ir a otro lado para comer. No es el pub más acogedor, un poco oscuro y lúgubre. Sin ambiente Una gran zona de bar. Comidas servidas si es necesario. Está bien para una bebida rápida y barata.

Durante mi tiempo he estado en unos pocos Wetherspoons. Es un lugar cordial y barato, donde el personal suele ser amable.Me pidieron que revisara este lugar el sábado y les presenté una pregunta que mis lectores solicitaron. "¿Tienes alguna cerveza en oferta especial? "El gerente, de todas las personas, dijo" depende de qué cerveza quieras "en una respuesta hostil. Lo presioné sobre lo que estaba en oferta, pero él insistió en mantener una actitud hostil.Me acerco a otros dos miembros del personal con otras preguntas que comúnmente surgen en un entorno de pub. Sorprendentemente, los otros dos empleados eran de la misma clase.Inspeccioné las mesas, que tenían comida y vasos vacíos en promedio entre 17 y 24 minutos, lo cual no es aceptable en un ambiente de comida.Este lugar necesita un cambio de gerente. Estaré informando mis hallazgos en una revisión de pubs y restaurantes en línea en el área.

Paramos aquí para cenar ya que queríamos una comida rápida y un lugar para trabajar. Hubo un partido con una gran pantalla de fútbol, que muchas personas parecían estar disfrutando. Pedimos nuestra comida y bebidas fácilmente usando la aplicación Wetherspoons y llegó rápidamente. No tuvimos problemas.

I'm retired. Spend my summers in the UK on my narrowboat Mister Pip, and winters in Canada. Born in Cheltenham and lived in Stroud to age 9. Then moved to Canada, and after university, travelled the world. But I still love coming back to Stroud. And the Lord John and other Wetherspoons are the pubs I look for whenever I hit a new town or city. The large breakfast with the all-day coffee is a super bargain. I've gone to about 50 of the Wetherspoons around the UK, and the breakfast is always consistent and of high quality. I'd recommend Wetherspoons to anybody who wants a great breakfast for a great price. I used to always order the Sunday Dinner (chicken, pork, or steak) but those unfortunately got discontinued several years ago. I do wish they could be brought back, and have written to CEO Tim Martin in that regard!!

the manager is very unhelpful and aggressive. the other staff, however, seem to be working their ***es off so well done to them. its a shame their boss is so abrupt and rude! before they start ID on the door, so it mustve been 7ish we came in to eat (all of us being 18 anyway) and were told AFTER paying for our drinks that we all needed ID, though the alcoholic drinks were only for me and my friend, as the third person was driving. she hadnt bothered to bring her ID because she wasnt going to be drinking alcohol for obvious reasons and even when we explained that, the manager got more and more rude and angry at us, told us she had to stand outside ALONE in the dark while we downed our drinks before joining her. I had even suggested we sit at the bar to drink the alcoholic ones and the girl wihout ID could then prove she didnt need it because they would see she wasnt drinking alcohol. however this was met with scorn and we were kicked our, despite having been nothing but polite and there being families with children still in the pub as it was before 18s only. Very annoyed, as there arent many places in stroud to go that we can all afford. however we have told our mates and you will lose our business

It's not a big pub, but well located and with a nice facade. The interior is "L" shaped and adorned with a multitude of old photographs. I ordered a baked potato, chill con carne and a drink and the order was politely taken, the meal well cooked and tasty. Well done.

came with my friends for a couple of drinks and ordered some halloumi fries and pitchers and the staff were so attentive and lovely and I struggle with eating in public so asked for take away and they made me feel so comfortable and went above and beyond to get me take away boxes even tho they had ran out, Nathan specifically has done this on a few occasions and I am so grateful, he always has such a smile on his face and is happy to help with anything :-)

Cheap drinks, terrible wines. TV. Toilets downstairs. Typical Wetherspoons pub. Haven’t ever eaten here as other local places better.

This was definitely worth visiting. We had evening meal 14oz steak & meat feast pizza. Great food & service. Staff all friendly.

En el camino a Nailsworth llegó en tren a Stroud a la hora del almuerzo. Este pub local estaba a la vuelta de la esquina de la estación de tren, así que lo intentamos. Me sentí un poco incómodo debido a las miradas y la curiosidad de los clientes locales a dos personas mayores que transportaban su equipaje. Muchos clientes habituales disfrutaban de una cerveza temprana. Descubrió (con ayuda) que usted ordena en el bar y paga para que la comida sea entregada en su mesa numerada. Pescado y papas fritas y un sándwich de pechuga de pollo con café (no cerveza para nosotros). Emily fue muy amable, nos ayudó con la máquina de café y buscó en Google para llegar al autobús 63 a Nailsworth. Esta fue una buena opción para nosotros.

Tuve la cena de navidad que me costó 8. 50.

Got this place for one of spoons legendary breakfasts and it was A1 as usual. £4.99 for a large breakfast with free refills on the coffee for a couple quid extra. Nice clean place. Staff friendly. Typical spoons really. Spot on.

Gran pub, la persona que dirige la puerta es un santo absoluto y tiene que lidiar con muchas tonterías, pero lo hace con una sonrisa y es una leyenda.

After our annual fund raising event in a local salon we ask friends and family to join us at the Lord John for the afternoon with drinks and something to eat, each year we have had a lovely time in there, this year however was spoiled due to the rudest miserable and abrupt bar staff I’ve had the misfortune to meet unfortunately I didn’t catch her name, but she took three attempts to give me a clean glass with seemed to really upset her as both times I had to point out there was lipstick on them when I made a joke about it her response wasn’t polite or needed the rolling of the eyes and sulking face that I didn’t want to drink out of used glass was pathetic, to then stare me out each time I walked past was also beyond a joke, the waitress and bar staff later on that evening where fantastic and thank god for they cheery faces and happy nature maybe she should take a leaf out of they book.

Stopped in Stroud to break a journey up from Devon to home. Parking is a problem in Stroud but managed to find a place to park that was only a 6 minute walk from the Lord John. Service was very good and the actual pub was clean and very airy. Had the special on the day the empire burger that was very nice and excellent value only issue we had was it was more than we normally eat so we felt bloated. As I said excellent value for money. All in all a good stop.

We ordered fish and chips (Managers special £4.99), baked potatoe and tuna salad and chicken, bacon, advocado salad. All came very promptly and tasted delicious.

as far as service and value for money the lord john was typical weatherspoon ( good value and price) but we thought that the interior could do with a overhaul as the paint looked rather tired.

The Lord John has a traditional pub feel with a light and airey interior and a decent beer garden. The decor is a bit dated but otherwise this is a nice cheap pub but probably not a must visit.

Was a regular when I lived in the area! It's a cheep place to drink in the evening unfortunately this attracts the typical local idiot oddball Stroudie types. But this isn't the fault of the venue! The food and drinks are reasonable like most other Wetherspoons. Just don't expect to meet anyone with much of an intellect. This is Stroud!

This pub is not too big, but it is smart from the outside. Inside it needs lightening up as it has dull dark red walls. I ate today and many of the seats were sealed off with tape, so I returned when it was less busy. My baked potato and chilli was quickly prepared and tasted good. No complaints at all.

Would recommend this pub for a great breakfast and very good service . A nice place to eat in a very nice town.

We ordered banger and mush with vegetarian sausages. Very nice meal , super tasty. nice and quiet atmosphere with family around having Sunday lunch.

A typical Wetherspoon experience: good value drinks, extremely good value food, keen staff, sticky tables and tatty toilets. You know what to expect, so no shocks or surprises.

Four of us called in for breakfast early on a Sunday morning. We not disappointed.The staff were really friendly. The food of traditional breakfasts and one porridge was excellent and served extremely promptly . It was also very good value for money . Will visit again .

met up with friends just recently the service was good but it wasnt very busy. Lots of choice on the menu. Lovely old building with character. Food and drinks were very good value for money and if we return to the area then its likely we will return here.

This has an excellent rating from me not because it's the finest dining - but my word the portion size was stunning. A perfectly good 14oz steak for under a tenner - and it was cooked as ordered. Couple that with competitively priced ale what's not to like.

The food here is usually the solid, dependable Wetherspoons cuisine that one expects at pubs such as this. On this occasion, however, I was disappointed. The veggie burger (usually very good) was spoiled by the use of overripe/off avocado, which spoiled the whole burger. Besides this, the taste and value for money of the meal were good. I'll be returning with fingers crossed in the future.

Me and my partner visited the Lord John whilst at stroud fringe as we were walking around a lot and I needed a glass of water and a sit down, I'm 5 months pregnant and was very tired. On entry the bouncer Rob let my partner through (and he didn't stop as he guessed I would be right behind him) but the bouncer stepped in front of me and asked for ID, I laughed as I know him and have been visiting this pub for the past 5 years. As I laughed I was getting my ID out of my purse to show him but then he went red in the face and refused me entry.

While visiting Stroud for the annual fringe festival each August bank holiday, we decided that a quick and easy bite to eat in the local Weatherspoon's would keep us going, and we were not disappointed with the food. We each picked something we had had had before, I had the chicken wrap, it says cold on the menu, but actually came out warm, which probably makes it taste nicer, as the chicken is still soft. The wife had the chicken skewers with rice, which was very tasty, and very filling. We both enjoyed our meals, and it will be interesting to visit another Wetherspoon's just to make the comparison against this one. I was a little disappointed with the lack of local real ales, not much of a choice, and as the Fringe Festival was on, with an increase in trade, it would seem ideal opportunity to have some local ales available.

Visitamos este Wetherspoons pub con dos amigos que no habían sido antes, elegimos el especial directores - cadera, patatas fritas y guisantes - fue una oferta de £4. 99!

Compré una parrillada mixta y era enormemente decepcionados cuando 1 salchichas era, literalmente, la carne que era comestible y el resto de la carne era peligrosamente poco hecha y literalmente roja cruda por dentro. Me tomó fotos como evidencia. El "director de socorro" básicamente dijeron que están permitidos para servir la carne cruda y que no le importaba como todo el personal eran normales en una noche y él estaba cubriendo. Cuando más tarde examinó la cuestión por teléfono con un "normal" (llamado gerente Blaine) no tenía ni idea sobre la resolución, flameantes básicamente dijo "quizás va a hacer algo para solucionar este problema "si yo conocido a la gestión de la próxima vez que vaya. Me tomó esta sugerencia y me dijeron otra vez que el Director sabía sobre ellos nothingh son sólo una dirección. Al llamar hoy el personal simplemente creo que está bien mentir y reír, me alegro de que tomé una foto y graban todas las llamadas, que ahora uso en una reclamación contra ellos! Literalmente. No advertirles varias veces que puede recurrir a efectuar este problema conocido, pensaban que no lo haría. Bien ahora tengo.

Cheap and you can tell. Food not great and slow service. Always find a drunk person (s) in there at any time of the day.

We called to have lunch on St. Patricks Day- even though we were there by 12.30 we got the last table- lots of people in the pub- possibly because it was Gold Cup Day at Cheltenham Races. Excellent Fish & Chips with a pint of beer- such good value.

Another good 'Spoons pub, great beer and decent food at a far better price than anywhere else, and an interesting building.

Good value for money. Staff attentive. Recommend Fridays with good fish and chips plus drink offer. Always busy and atmosphere is welcoming. Some refurbishment would not go amiss, especially in the toilets.

Not outstanding, not bad, just ok. Only had a drink , have it out of bottles now, even though a little pricier, as far better than the tap. Would visit again.

This Wetherspoons is located fairly centrally and blends in with the other shops in the street well. Inside it is L-shaped and has a red interior and an unusual but effective glass roof which allows light to flood in to the central area. There are some interesting photos and prints adorning the walls and a rather loud painting high up- on a wall. In all it is a louder interior than one usually finds in this chain. The folk inside can diplomatically be called "characters", although perhaps others would entitle them as odd/quirky. As for the meal, well, the all-day breakfast was as expected, well-cooked, quickly served. Worth a visit, although it is a fair bit different to other Wetherspoons pubs.

I have dropped into the Lord John on various occasions for casual meals. Of all the Weatherspoons pubs this is probably the least solubricious but having said that it is good value for money and the prices of their beers is very competitive and the ales always seem to be fresh. In comparison to most pubs the Lord Lord as with many Weatherspoon pubs has a wide selection of ales.The food at the Lord John is very reasonably priced and the size of the meals is good. The food is quite basic but very acceptable and there is a reasonable atmosphere in the place. The Lord John does attract a fair number of Stroud town local drinkers.The fare is average but good value for money and I would not hesitate to drop in again for a casual feed.

Food was fine. Served very quickly and tasted only okay (little greasey). It was fine for a quick bite before heading on the train

I don't usually review Wetherspoons pubs as they are generally much of a muchness. I make an exception here because of the excellence of the bar staff. Staying round the corner at the Imperial Hotel, I ate and drank here on the three days of my stay in Stroud. Instead of the usual lazy 'who's next?', the bar staff on duty made it their business to know who was next, and served them quickly too. I am old enough to remember when this was once standard practice, but I'd thought it was a lost art. Well done and keep it up!

Worst bar staff I've seen anywhere, will serve whoever is close to them not the next person, waited 15 minutes to get served then left, such a shame for a pub to have staff who all need better training.

Fab food and value for money Tasty hot and well presented My self and a freind had a jacket potato with beens and salad looked fantastic when it came out will recommend food and will go for lunch again

What an absolute hell hole, service was atrocious, ordered 2 starters and they arrived alongside our mains, to which they were threw on the table, food was awful, chips were dry and onion rings had been fried for allot longer than they should of been, although cheap it's not worth it, avoid by all costs!!

Very friendly bar and waiting staff. Unfortunately the food let us down.My chicken in chicken & rib combo was half cold , felt like it had been defrosted and then warmed up in a microwave. 3 of us had chips and these appeared as though they had been refried . Only thing that made it pleasant was the nice lady serving.

One of the less inspired Wetherspoons and can feel a bit rough at times but one we use occasionally for breakfast and is normally fine. Popped in for a coffee on Sunday afternoon only to be told by rather surly young woman behind bar that 'we don't do decaf anymore'. Oh dear :-( I'm sure she meant 'we've run out' but her apparent attitude seemed to suggest 'I can't be bothered'.

My friends and I came here for lunch. I wasn't expecting anything special, but everyone enjoyed their food and I found mine to be particularly tasty. This was all the more impressive given that I had a vegetarian option, which pubs often neglect.

We decided we needed a lunch out as a treat, and settled on the Lord John, which we'd not tried before. The pub is one of the J D Wetherspoons chain, so the menu is presumably the same as others, but in any case the food was well cooked, good value and tasty.

Run-of-the-mill Wetherspoon pub, good value for both drinks and food. However, it does appear to attract single local men of a certain age whose main pleasure in life seems to be cursing, and staring at 'strangers' as they walk past them. Toilets down a flight of stairs - OK if you're fit.

A nice smaller Wetherspoons. Friendly and efficient service. Meals arrived quickly and together despite three seperate orders. My chicken wrap was delicious and no problem asking for the unspicy mayo. Nice chips too.

For a chain as familiar to everyone as Weatherspoon's, one needs not detail the menu, drinks choices, or anything like that. The Lord John is a typical Weatherspoon's, the staff are friendly, and the clientele are generally not as rowdy as they would be in branches in larger towns.

Conosciamo da tempo la catena in oggetto caratterizzata da un ottimo rapporto prezzo qualità, abbiamo mangiato e bevuto in due con 13 £ , bistecca e coste di maiale bbq con due pinta di birra ... cosa dire di più ... aprofittare delle offerte e vai che c'è ne sono dappertutto

we just arrived in Stroud and after a walk along the channell path we arrived in town center . The place is very nice and clean . We have mondays specials, sirleon steack and BBK rib steack with two beers . also took corn , sweetie .

Typical Wetherspoon offer in terms of pricing but leaves you feeling a little dirty to be honest. Not at all pleasant and very grubby generally.

We were driving through the Cotswolds, parked at Stroud (never been before) to find breakfast... streets looked deserted early Sunday morning - until I smelled bacon then spotted Wetherspoons!Warm welcome, traditional breakfast for two with as much filter coffee as we could drink, all for £8.70. Will definitely use again if in the area...

This pub is a must if you are in Stroud. It offers great food in terms of variety and quality! It's also cheap! We ate there twice in two days and both times food came out in less than 10 minutes from the time we ordered!

Excellent breakfast at a good price. Promt and friendly service in particular the manager on shift , Janine

Some people are a bit wary about spoons and the quality, but not me, I love it! Cheap drinks, cheap food and never too bad a service!

Have not eaten at the Lord John yet, but when visiting friends in Stroud this is our destination pub. Friendly service, clean and tidy pub with the best selection of beers we've found in Stroud at great prices make this our1# watering hole .Try it!!!!

As usual a clean and tidy Wetherspoon pub, a good selection of real ale on offer.We just called in for a soft drink but was welcomed by friendly staff.

What can you say it's a bog standard spoons pub. Staff aren't exactly welcoming bit food is always edible and drinks are reasonable.

I called into this fine establishment on the 14/04/16 and order the buttermilk chicken and a pint of Pepsi with lots of lemons. 3 lemons to be exact, I downed this Pepsi very quickly because I was really thirsty because i had to run from camp Hudson to the base of operations in under 10 mins to proceed in my army training.. Anyways back to the pub, I ordered the chicken because I fancied something chickeny. The staff was very pleasant and the manager on shift was very swaggy with her dolla dolla chains. My food came out in 6 mins and 37 seconds and I ate in 5 mins and 17 seconds, I then went to the bar and ordered a choccy choccy fudge cake with Custard. This was very nice. I wanted another one but I had to say no because I knew it would be too cheeky for my liking. Will be back in soon for sure :) Kind regards Trevor

The Lord John is your typical Weatherspoon's offering good food at a good price the staff cant do enough to help although when its busy you have to wait for your food to arrive

Called in for breakfast today 8.00am as soon as they opened, ordered breakfast and a tea, seven miniutes later it arrived, looked good but butter was rock hard impossible to spread and breakfast was luke warm at best, not impressed!!

Good cheap quality ales and other drinks but the food is a bit hit and miss, - It does a great job for pensioners and is always warm and friendly

Brilliant food....breakfast is definitley the best in Stroud. Exceptional service from the bar staff. Floor service very attentive and friendly. Most recommended.Even toated our own gluten free bread without any hastle. Fantastic

Four of us went to this Restaurant before going to the theatre. We arrived at The Lord John at around 6.30 pm.We selected our order for food, went to the bar to be told that there was no steak left. Back to the drawing board. We then selected fish and chips, only to be told there was no more fish.Another selection, we are down to ham egg and chips now, great they had it. My husband wanted the Lamb Curry (as it was curry night), but guess what they had run out of it.This is very poor for a Restaurant as it was only 6.30pm.Service was reasonable and the Manager seemed very nice.Come on Weatherspoons get your act together

I visited the Lord John late on a saturday night and as you can expect from a wetherspoons, it was busy.. Seemed to be a lot of young kids in there though, and quite a few looked liked they'd been taking some substance or other..

Nice Spoons that starts off small and just gets bigger and bigger. A widescreen TV at the front showing football allows a quieter restaurant at the rear, which is where we sat. Had the Steak & Onion baguette each and the kitchen was very accommodating around requests with sauces, salads etc. More than happy to eat there again.
