Price of a pint of ale, Abbot/Doom Bar etc around £2.88. Place was packed, service was excellent and the food arrived quickly. For the price, around £10 on average including pint, you really can't complain. Definitely recommend!

Came into the pub as a group. A group of Dad's may I add. We meet up once every few months from the local area. We were then kicked out by the least professional manager that I have ever witnessed (name was bradley). All because a couple of us were "flipping" beer coasters in a small area (not disrupting any service). Even the door security didn't understand why we were getting kicked out! Just seemed that the team working wanted an early night rather than making money for the business. Being in senior management myself in a similar business just felt wrong letting it slide by without comment. I think that your managment of this team needs to be looked at.

I am a 57 year old women & when purchasing my meal with an alcoholic drink was asked if the drink purchased was for me. This was a first & I hope the last as the person I walked in with was also 57, so I do not understand why? The barmaid asked this question, which I found to be very inappropriate. The meal, however, came very quickly & was hot.

Visited last night with friends 12 august 7pm . We were a family of 5 spent over 100£ on food used app to order food . Food ok . A young lady blond waitress aged 18/20 speedy with big false eye lashes , thought she was off clubbing.. Very rude threw our sweets at us . She got it all wrong . Demand to see the order on my friends app. Yes we were right ??? No sorry nothing . 5 mins later she bought out the correct ice cream sweets Threw them at us , nearly all over my elderly friends and stormed off . Upset our 14 year old nephew too We won’t be going back anytime soon . Shame ruined our lovely friends Get together shame . We spend a lot of money with spoons

Cold food. Traditional breakfast. Everything must have been cooked in advanced as it was lukewarm at best and served on a cold plate. This was 8.45 am so who knows when this was actually cooked for it to be cold at this hour.

Okay, so this is the third weatherspooms I have visited and just like the other two pubs the food is aweful, I watched the pass very closely along with the cooks, and what a mess, not once did I see them wash their hands, they just rubbed them on their cloaths. The burger was cold and over cooked, it had no flavour, but that is because they cook them on a burger press, the food was left on the pass too long, the cooks used their hands to place food items on the plate and where they should use kitchen tongs, I have now come to the conclusion that all weatherspoons cater poor food, yes its not a five star restaurant but I think with proper chefs and a revamp of the menue and cooking skills it could be better. But for now I give up on coming to eat in places like this, I've been in the trade for nearly 20 years and I would never serve food like this.

Just had an unsettling encounter with the staff at this venue today My self and 2 friends were enjoying our meal when 3 drinks appeared after the use of the (Wetherspoons game) on face book as we quite commonly do not only to receive but to give back to others and with the use of the game we have drinks and more arriving at the table after we have started to enjoy the drinks we were rudely approached by a young member of staff demanding receipts of purchase to which we continue to explain the situation after this a further (older) member of staff unbelievably continues to ignore are reasoning, even though we were offering to pay (for their mistake), which was declined by her but still continuing to call all three of us thieves and committing a crime. I have never had such disrespect in a venue before and am disgusted with there behaviour and attitude towards their customers I am hoping this review will resolve there foul attitude towards there regular loyal, paying customers.

Three of us ordered wraps which were shown on menu as £4.69 including a drink when my husband went to counter they asked do you want salad or chips no mention of cost of additional things and was charged £26 in total husband returned to table and told me price he went back to counter and queried it and was told it was a large wrap (there was no mention of size of wrap as my husband pointed to order on menu) which said small wrap no mention of a large wrap! The chicken was so spicy my mouth was uncomfortable for ages afterwards the salad wasn’t fresh the lettuce had “off” bits in it - I certainly will never be eating in there again and would definitely not recommend it to anyone I know I felt it was a rip off!

Typical good choice of a Wetherspoons menu. Service was good using the app and even tempted me to try something different which turned out to be very tasty. As we are on a weight loss diet, it is really helpful having the calorific values for each item including any additions. This looks fairly small from the outside by when you go in you soon realise it’s very big and so there are plenty of tables available. The food we had today was: Ramen Noodles with added chicken breast, peri roast chicken, apple crumble (really delicious!) with custard and another with ice cream. All of it was very tasty.

Horrendous! Recommended if you like cold food but I don't but after waiting a whole 45 minutes thats what I got. Staff were uninterested and could only offer a new plate which lets be honest after the 45 minute wait for some cold food, I wasn't willing to. And then the cheek I should have asked to speak to a duty manager when that was never offered and the team couldn't give a hoot. I will not be visiting a Wetherspoons again.

Thought we would pop in for breakfast, arrived just after opening and it was quiet, ordered one full breakfast and an egg benedict. Food arrived at our table fairly quickly and started eating , the food was almost stone cold it also looked like it had been left hanging around for some considerable time. The one star is for the coffee which was good especially for the price for unlimited cups but that's all the positive I can give really.

This is a large and busy Wetherspoons. It is always bustling with people whatever time of day but is often so busy around mealtimes that it is hard to find a table. This is testament to it's popularity. The food is good value for money and always hot. The drinks are great too. We especially like the free refills on the hot drinks.

We ordered a couple of mixed grills . When it turned up we were both shocked . The so called "rump steak " looked like an old bit of shoe leather . Over cooked . It was hard to tell what the other meats were . One sad looking tomato . And one sad looking mushroom. Cold chips . Whole meal looked dreadful . Looking at it it was hard to believe it was "cooked" on the day . Very disappointing. 2 other people sent meals back while we were waiting .

Came in late evening for a drink and some food. Ordered the triple pattie burger with bacon and cheese. Burgers themselves and chips were ok, as would expect from a pub chain, however, the bacon looked raw and under cooked and the bun was stone cold, not even warmed, straight from fridge to plate. There was no table check, only ate as was late evening and hungry after a busy day at work.

Lovely branch of Weatherspoons very clean with calm and friendly atmosphere. My only criticism today is the very meagre portions on today's vegetarian breakfast which is usually very generous. Tiny tomato and minute mushroom, very tasty, but not worth putting on plate and only a very small spoonful of beans. Disappointing and can only assume there was a problem with supply issues.

The food always comes fresh and hot... Update 17/2/19: Sunday morning we saw the kitchen was putting out breakfasts which sat there for 10 minutes. Not a good idea for Eggs Benedict. I asked for my breakfast wrap to be done again which it was . Update 27/10/23: Breakfast muffins perfectly cooked and delivered quickly! See picture 🙂 Update 17/1/24 Awful microwaved warmish fish and chips, with mushy peas that looked like solidified algae, which we were told was standard. We were referred to the manager. Luckily she identified the problem and personally brought us some hot, FRESH plates of fish chips and garden peas (we decided against the mushy option!)

Lovely clean rooms but let down by small detail.. Room and breakfast were included in the £112 price per night. At breakfast I was told that a cappuccino would be extra.. To me that was a complete management greedy mistake to spoil was was otherwise a decent stay. Molly did her job with great enthusiasm but ultimately that experience left me with a bad taste in my mouth. The Customer is always King, and to me the asking at breakfast for more money on top of an already paid breakfast for a cappuccino was petty and greedy by the company.. Rooms and cleanliness was 1st class but ultimately that tiny issue was the difference between first class and last class..

Nice fish and chips, but best to avoid on a Friday evening, as despite pre ordering online for a specific time I still ended up waiting for half an hour after that time passed. Lots of unhappy customers in the same position.

Ate here as was staying at the local premier inn. Staff seemed friendly enough. Very basic menu (pretty much all fried). Food appeared to be plonked on the plate/bowl and served with no attention to presentation; no garnish of any kind. Child’s pasta dish was tiny; probably ok for a 3 or 4 year old; served in very small enamel dish. Overall, food was ok and it was convenient for our stay.
