The Mardi Gras in Trafford

Very dusty and dirty surroundings although drinks glasses were nice and clean

A group of us came in here to have a drink and a mate in our group came in with a drink from the milkshake bar next door. Manager came over like a hawk and said he had to leave with the milkshake, despite the rest of us buying drinks from there and our other friend also intending on doing so. She was very rude and unreasonable, would NOT recommend this Spoons to anyone

Staff were very rude and made us feel like we should leave.

came to the venue and as it was past 9:30pm said children were not permitted which is fine so the underage person and an another adult left the premises and they responded in saying nobody of our party could be served because we had been with an underage person even though they had left the premises. Then the staff became aggresive towards us refusing adults service and even staring at my partner in an intimidating way absolutley shocking customer service and a disgrace to wetherspoons

Really bad service as we’ve entered at 9 pm they already told us that half the menu is off the list and made us aware that no children are allowed in the premises after 930 which we understand there was no welcome and made us feel very uncomfortable as they were all stood around the bar I need to felt like they were intimidating people that is my first experience being there which I have been there several times and have no complaints whatsoever. Would love to make a complaint to the manager but my kids and my wife would feel very uncomfortable, so we left.

Came in with my partner for a birthday lunch went up to the bar to order food and drinks the guy who served was nice and friendly I had Stella whitch I had to take back there was no life in it then one member of staff stormed on the bar and was quite rude to another member of staff saying its fine then food came out and my burger was dull no salad apart from 3 small slices of onion so sent it back the same meal was brought out just with more onion and was cold my partner had fish which was very over cooked so went to get refund and was told I could only have the burger refunded as that's the only meal that got sent back all I can say about this place is rubbish food and rude staff will not be going back

Sadly my experience here was not the best. Local WiFi was dodgy so the app didn’t work. Food arrived quickly but was ok. That sums up the overall experience, just OK. When there are so many other options nearby, just OK isn’t good enough.

its not the best. over priced and menu is pretty basic. not the same choice as most wetherspoons

Prices have risen, menu condensed. Couldn't find a reason to stay. I think others had the same opinion. I've never seen it so empty on a Saturday afternoon!

What a great Spoons. Everything spot on & friendly atmosphere etc etc…

Meal was awful fish dry obvious it was well overcooked peas solid chips soggy and cold will never return to this place husband had suppose to be Lincolnshire sausage tasted awful more like cheap catering sausages chips soggy

It's a Wetherspoons, foods ok, The staff behind the bar were great, the floor/ serving staff spend more time talking about what they did over the weekend, and following each other around, then doing any work, tables left with plates and glasses on for a long time

The food could have been hotter I had katsu curry and it was only warm, needed to be hotter but the Drinks were ok.

Ordered 3 different meals, all arrived in very good time and within 3 minutes of each other. Lovely tasty curry, excellent pizza and some well filled wraps. Good amount of chips and rice. Soft naan bread. Compared to other outlets, great value.

Great hot food and good service, nice and relaxed, good selection of beer/ales.

Just came here with my younger brother and his friend. I’m 23 and covered in tattoos so obviously above 18. We arrived at 2pm and sat down for lunch to then be IDd and asked to leave when none of us had any to hand. Since when do you have to be 18+ to sit in a spoons for lunch?

Cheers for staff retaining bag I left in error

Great drink and Chris behind the bar is superb

Good value for your money and the food was good

Although a wetherspoons don't expect wetherspoons, prices are more expensive than most . Especially drinks.

Food is far too overpriced than regular spoons definitely don’t go here if you want to save money.

Used the app and got a prompt and efficient service. Food (breakfast) was good.

A good place to be with a great atmosphere and classic beers,well served by the bar staff

Decent beer and cheap bitter 2.50 a pint good choice of guest beers blueberry bitter is a particular favourite

Waited over an hour for two panini's And others around us getting food quicker, had to chase staff members twice.

Fish and chips was tasteless, Gourmet butter chicken burger faired better. Adnam's beer was good, however the Stowford Press cider was flat... didn't have the time to complain but £28 for 2 very mediocre meals and unacceptable drink was not great value.

Quick service, polite friendly staff and good atmosphere.

Poor quality service and management. Draft drinks were unavailable due to maintenance. Waiter literally dropped plate of lukewarm food on table and told me if I wanted any sauces to go and get them myself. Food quality very poor.

Been here a few times now with the family and Husband. I never knew there was a Weatherspoons in Trafford centre so was very happy to know there was. Great service. Plenty of space to sit and the food is quick an easy to fill a hole.

Staff were quite rude, even for a weathespoons also the food was just horrible, I had the ultimate burger and was just really chewy meat unfortunately

Great service happy staff and toilets on the ground floor Great place to people watch Pannini needs more time in the griddle Menu has been reduced and prices increased

Food ordered and served quickly - great value for money and friendly staff and atmosphere

One of the better Wetherspoons, staff were nice too and quick to serve too

I love weatherspoons and always go to my local pub so I thought I'd try this one while me and my friend were shopping. The menu was half the size of the one I usually go to and the food X10 worse to be honest. I have a gluten allergy and the food on the allergen chart didn't match the food on the manu making it much harder to find something suitable for me. I am aware due to laws that food places cannot tell you ingredients and advise you, however the staff were extremely rude and dismissive making me feel bad for something I cannot control. I hope they become more organised with menus and up their game on service because my experience made me not want to come back here ever again.

I spent £15 on a Wetherspoon chicken jalfriezie. Which was exactly the same in quality as a £2.00 Aldi or Lidl curry. In fact it was the same rubbery processed chicken that is found in an Aldi curry. Not much rice, a couple of cheap poppadoms a dried up nann with a small glass of tap cola. Basic Wetherspoons rubbish. How does Wetherspoons keep getting away with this sorry offering of rubbish food?

Provided a well earned rest from retail shopping. Nice place, good food and good service.

I was going to have lunch here but instead just having a pint this must be one of the most expensive spoons for food I've ever been in and I'm from London all day brunch with drink £15.22 in my local spoons it's about £6.40 for exactly the same meal

Nice lively atmosphere. Polite attentive staff.

Our "go to" for a full English breakfast in the Trafford centre before a walk around the shops. Can't beat it

This applies as much to any Wetherspoon pub as it does to the Mardis Gras specifically. Food varies from half decent (namely the pizzas), to average (burgers and full English breakfast, breakfast wrap etc) to sub average/barely edible (the bacon butty, any steak). The bacon can occasionally be excellent from Wetherspoons, in that it's not fatty, and has the grill marks on, taste, texture and even smell very nice. Unfortunately, more often than not these days, it's become barley edible. Often overburdened with amply amounts of rubbery fat, and sometimes it looks really pale, and no grill marks, like it's been microwave cooked. Pretty nasty. And their bread bloomer is invariably dry, despite being buttered, like it's a few days past it's best, verging on stale but a smidgen within the rules of FSA. And the coffee.... something you'd think even Spoons couldn't get wrong. There's a good reason why it's refillable, and that's because the machine serves up the bitterest, foul smelling and tasting coffee available. You'd be a warrior for getting through one whole mug, let alone more than that. Oh and one working hot drinks machine, causing a very king queue this morning. Great.

Hate the concept of chain pub/restaurants being more expensive because it's in a busy spot - drinks and snacks were fine just hate paying more than I would one mile away

I came here with my family and the food was less then satisfactory I would not waste my money here. my daughter had left her retainer on the table and when we phoned up to ask an hour it later they had “thrown it in the bin” because they “didn’t know what to do with it” though I do understand it’s me and my daughters responsibility to not forget the retainer, accidents do happen. What was unprofessional is that if someone has left a personal item on the table at your restaurant you should keep it to one side and not bin it!!! It is worth £100 as I have paid for and they have treated it like it was nothing.

I ordered the bbq chicken, bacon & cheese panini with rice for lunch. The rice was stone cold and very dry, the panini was slightly warmer but still very dry. It was like the chef couldn't be bothered, worst meal there ever. So disappointing & uninspiring.

£3.41 for a 0% alcohol beer. How can they justify that price.

Don’t eat the lemon and herb chicken, it comes undercooked, very pink in the middle, if you complain to the staff about the under cooked food, they will tell you that chicken is always pink 🤷‍♂️, witch I was shocked at, Poor food poor service avoid at all cost

Dont get chicken i ordered a lemon and herb chicken and it came raw i then reported this and they didnt give a apology and when the manager came she said it was natural for your chicken to be pink she then gave me a refund and it will be back for 3 days. Guys watch out coming bad service bad food bad place i have cancer and i am in an out of hospital for check ups if i had eaten this it could have made me ill for a long time dont come here

We were playing bowling and lost track of time other places were closing so we asked here and it was open later than the others so we ordered and the food was nice and quick and to be fair the food was nice enough we all enjoyed it and we're were very surprised.

Great atmosphere. Very good value for money. There are plenty of tables.

Probably the cleanest Wetherspoons I've been in but the food was appaling. My cooked breakfast was out before I'd sat down with my coffee. Overdone eggs, might as well have been hard boiled, cold toast, bacon was an odd green colour. Coffee was ok though.

One of the best spoons we've used, poached eggs were off the scale !

Extremely clean and great service in my recent visit. My only complaint is it’s very expensive for a Wetherspoons, pints costing just under £5 was quite a shock. Apart from the pricing however it was a great experience

It's spoons ,basically .had a breakfast there ,wasn't the greatest ,cold ba on butty .

Food was okay. Not to its best standard it could be. Restaurant was kept clean. Staff didn't seem to happy.

On visiting the Trafford Centre,dropped in for lunch & a sit down 🙌I can honestly say its 1 of the best wetherspoons I've been to 🙌food,staff,atmosphere great 👍🏻Thank you

Of course being a wetherspoons it is bound to be busy. The drinks and food were fast.

I would certainly rate this spoons as one of my favourites in Manchester. Quick and pleasant service from Pav and Abi. In fact, all the staff that I spoke to were very friendly. I struggled to get internet on my laptop inside, and the shift manager told me about the Wi-Fi which is easily accessible when sitting outside the restaurant. I found that the Trafford Centre Wi-Fi was better than the Cloud. I enjoyed the coffee with free refills, and also a couple of very good real ales. I would definitely recommend.

Had a small breakfast and the whole thing was freezing - the table was filthy too.

Just went in for a quick drink. First time here, it's quite cosy inside

Standard food and drink you know what to expect but when you ask if they have anything to take half your burger home in, and the girl goes "no we don't have stuff like that just a pizza box" I saod even a little but of cling film or tin foil will do. She says again "no we don't have that kinda stuff" I was then handed a 12inch pizza box. I then asked a different member of staff that gave me a clear wrap to put it in. This was much better service. Just a shame that I had that experience first time around.

Just been in today and the women was very rude not sure If she’s a manager but she definitely shouldn’t be spoke rude towards my kid not letting him in as he was sat in a a trolley when he’s 2 years old it was a blonde women late 50s just a very rude person

A very busy, smaller Wetherspoons located inside the Trafford Centre. We stumbled upon it after sampling some retail therapy great little place.

food was what you would expect from a spoons but service was lovely. girl who brought our drinks over was very polite and professional. i think her name was abby she was wonderful

Breakfast was awful, bacon and sausage had a funny taste, scruffy environment. Not been in a weatherspoons for a while noticed bud light is now £3.60!!!!! Probably a year ago it was £1.99. I'm done ✔️

Always know what you are getting at a weather spoons

Three of us had food here today couldn't believe how cold the food was. I had scampi the mushy peas were horrible and a solid blob and chips were cold food must have been under the salamander for ever really poor and not acceptable

Yeah, typical weather spoons, but as it set in the Trafford Center. The menu is quite small and limited its nice and clean quick food Nice place to catch up with friends

I have been here a few times and it has been great. It wasn’t quite as good today though but that was my own fault for coming on a Saturday. The Wetherspoons was really busy today which did give the pub a great atmosphere but it was a little difficult to find a table today and the one I found had not been cleaned. Not the staff’s fault really, it was very busy. Anyway I had the fish and chips with a pint of Corona lager. Really tasty and cooked well. The food arrived relatively quickly too. I would recommend this restaurant but if you want to be sure of a table without a wait it’s better to come during the week. That said, I have had the breakfast here in a Saturday morning in the past and had no problem finding a table and the breakfast was great value.

Had the special hagis dish. Ordered from table and was easy. Staff nice its a wethers! Cheap and cheerful

The app was down, but the staff were very helpful. It's not the cheapest Wetherspoons but it is in the Trafford centre so rents are high. A very small burger for over £6. The layout isn't great or comfortable for the elderly and it needs a makeover.

Friendly staff, clean and tidy, food pretty rank wouldn't eat there again

Food was luke warm no staff to tell

Quiet weekday visit, food is as good as wetherspoons food can be. Staff are great though and clearly hard working keeping on top of turning tables and keeping the place clean. Tommy's margarita is lovely! One of the few cocktails that isn't super sweet and the price is cheap and cheerful

Most overpriced spoons in the country, don't bother
