The Moon Under Water in City of London, Westminster

Espantosa experiencia, pedí huevos revueltos en tostadas, huevos fríos gomosos, sin opción de pan integral así que no pude comer tostadas y para colmo fui a tomar un café y un miembro del personal caminó cerca de la máquina de café diciendo “Necesito drogas” Supongo que recibes lo que pagas, no volverás

Location wise just perfect for a cheap drink and bite to eat , you know what you’re getting with a Wetherspoons and this place hits the spot . Can get very busy

In the center and very well priced

Lovely Wetherspoons pub in Leicester Square, busy with lots of tables. Female toilets only have 3 cubicles so there can be queues for the toilet.

On Leicester Square Close to all the amenities .

Me and my mate came here and he had accidentally forgotten his id, so they didn’t serve him which is understandable, and because of that, they couldn’t give my drink which is also understandable however, my issue comes from the fact that they didn’t tell me that I couldn’t be served, so I sat at my table waiting for my drink to come for a solid 10-15 minutes before asking them, that’s where they explained to me the problem, and did not offer me a refund for my drink, they wasted both my and my friends time

Since when is ID required to buy food at a restuarant? Despite both of us being adults with ID, my boyfriend and I were completely refused entry altogether at the door as they refused to accept my ID. Pretty strange considering we didn't want alcohol and were coming in for a meal at midday. Have never been ID'd at the door of a wetherspoons and relatives who work in the company have informed me this is unusual and not appropriate. Just seems utterly baffling to turn away customers who DONT WANT ALCOHOL just because you don't like their form of ID or whatever. Abysmal atmosphere with rude staff at the door and generally bad vibes. If you're desperate and gasping for cheap food/drink, make sure you bring ID for your coke and burger i guess???

Usually busy, but totally worth it. Good prices, lots of menu options, and perfect for a quick lunch or drink. Fast service even when it’s crowded.

I reviewed this Wetherspoons and accidentally given the wrong J.D.W a review. So, here's my corrected version. This particular Wetherspoons is on the edge of the gardens in Leicester Square. Not a particularly large bar as most of the pub is given over to dining. There are quite a few benches with tables outside to the front but there's no garden. It's really busy at peak times and incredibly cramped inside with all the tables pressed together. You have to really squeeze in to the tables. The coffee machines are to the rear of the bar rather than in the dining area. The food was quite expensive for a Wetherspooms and not particularly good. I think this place is used by the clientele as a cheap place to have lunch rather than a pub that does food. Still, they don't pester you to leave once you've eaten so you can spend as long as you like inside, if you can bear it. For Covent Garden or Leicester Square it's a great place to stop for cheapish food and drinks, compared with the surrounding places.

Bueno, qué puedo decir. Fui con la familia después de la media maratón de Londres. Tomamos unas copas al aire libre bajo el sol pasándolo muy bien. Cuando de repente nos negaron la entrada a todos (no solo a mi familia sino a todos los que estaban fuera) porque aparentemente estaban “incumpliendo su licencia”. No hay explicación de cómo o por qué. Entre nosotros pasamos alrededor de £ 100 y a mi esposa no se le permitió usar el inodoro. Absoluta desgracia. Si estaban incumpliendo su licencia, lo sabían, ya que el portero nos había pedido anteriormente que pusiéramos nuestras bebidas en vasos de plástico, ya que estábamos fuera del límite del pub, ya que literalmente somos un centenar de personas más.

Only there for a coffee put quite nice but as with all London venues busy

The best place in London to have beers. The price is cheaper. It was very full and we had to share a table, otherwise you can't order anything to eat. We placed the order using a QR code and they brought them to our table.

Very average, conveniently located, centre of London pub.

As always wetherspoons does not disappoint. Great place, fast service and good atmosphere. Must be why it's always so busy.

Perfect pub to eat good, nice and cheap food.

Annoying bouncer. Got accused of being drunk when i was just tired after a long day of college. I said I had zero drinks but he kept pushing it. Let in my friend, who DID in fact have a few drinks, in just fine.

Mesas muy estrechas, pero el servicio era eficiente. La comida no era la mejor Wetherspoons que había experimentado y parecía mucho más caro que otras Wetherspoons. Esperaba pagar una prima por Londres, pero parecía bastante caro para lo que era - promedio. Personal agradable a pesar de trabajar en un ambiente tan apretado y ocupado, ruidoso.

Beautiful pub in the heart of the city

The Moon Under Water - JD Wetherspoon is an excellent option for good, cheap food in the heart of London. We tried the menu with a pint of beer included, and the value for money was fantastic. The service is very fast and the atmosphere is very lively, ideal to enjoy with friends. Wetherspoon is always a safe bet if you're looking for good food and beer without spending too much. Be careful, this place does not offer the Pub Classics deals, so it is worth checking the menu first. Unbeatable location!

Typical English food in a very well located pub. Orders must be made with a QR code.

The staff here are great. They were really enthusiastic and accommodated our large party of 40. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend.

Not a great Wetherspoons. Some of the staff is pretty miserable. The stars go to the French lad that served the food though, helpful and friendly, unlike behind the bar. The biggest burger on the menu is fairly small, quite disappointing despite quite a nice flavour.

The best thing about the restaurant is the option to order online. This way you can avoid the unfriendly staff. The employees don't even say hello or smile. The food was nothing special. I don't recommend this restaurant.

We could not find a place on Saturday evening as it was packed but had breakfast on Monday morning and the atmosphere was totally different. It was calm. We were served quickly. Portions were good and the hit chocolate was divine.

Great service from the staff. As soon as someone left, a staff member would come along and wipe it down. The manager was very friendly and fast in the service. Good atmosphere. Cleanest weatherspoons I've ever been in. Excellent staff and management. I only had lots of cocktails, no food, but I saw others enjoying their grub. A+++ for who ever runs it

Can't go wrong with a weather spoons

Visited for lunch on a very busy Thursday afternoon. Pub was packed, although it isn't an easy issue to fix the pub is too small for purpose, in the middle of London's West End a 'spoons needs to be multiple floors not one narrow level. Service was quick and friendly, drinks were great. Food was not so good, I had fish and chips and whereas the fish was brilliant the chips were solid, either still frozen or had been left out for far too long.

Visité este pub el viernes peor experiencia alguna vez consiguió una mesa ok entonces salió mal el pescado y patatas fritas era incomible y el café era como agua de plato no me malinterpretes la cerveza estaba bien, pero querido para un pub Wetherspoons y si te gusta ser como una sardina las mesas están para cerrar no volvería a visitar.

Staff so helpful even keeping food warm waiting for a last person in party to arrive. So friendly with children

Waiters could be a bit friendlier. Food is ok for this price! Would come again

The food was good value for money. But the treatment of one of the waiters in particular was fatal. We had a coffee thinking it was part of lunch and without any explanation he rudely took it away from the table.

Nice staff, lively atmosphere. It was warm inside which was a bonus as it was freezing out. Hard to get a seat as it was popular

Siempre ven aquí James y Jess muy educado y justo! Personal servicial Tuve que reconocer el servicio brillante y rápido. Gracias

Was a Saturday and very busy. Seems like a nice atmosphere early on in the day as well. Went there for birthday drinks. Not a bad place to pop in and get a few rounds in before a meal.

Great place for an early breakfast before the world wakes up in the centre of leicster square.

Ate well and enjoyed but I have to me mention that they refused to warm the food that we brought for our 1 year old kid...i guess it is too much help to ask...

The wonderful and Spanish waiter, I hope he does well

Lovely door staff. Charlie was inviting and the asst mgr Sammy was a lovely guy. Thanks gents

Excellent spoons in the centre of London

A combination of one of the worst but also most expensive wetherspoons in the country

Buena comida, servicio rápido y muy asequible para la ubicación. El personal era amable y estaba limpiando mientras estábamos allí, su "ocupado" y las mesas están cerca uno del otro, pero vale la pena soportar esto para la comida y el servicio.

Cheap beer. Standi g room only on a Friday night.

Ubicación céntrica que siempre está ocupado, pero requiere más personal. Vasos no recogidos y mesas pegajosas. Los baños tampoco se limpian y no hay rollo de papel higiénico disponible.

I was pleased with the waiter polite service, but the bar staff "dark blonde hair" male with moustache rudeness was a concern.

Putin has boasted that Russia is planning to build a base on the moon The idea is that astronauts will live there permanently. When they were asked if they really wanted to spend the rest of their lives in a barren, lifeless, empty landscape, the Russians said... "No. That's why we want to go to the moon."

Gran servicio al cliente de la señora encantadora con la blusa rosa y cola de caballo. Buena comida y bebida, muy asequible para la familia de cuatro en descanso de medio término con adolescentes hambrientos. Vendría de nuevo. ¡Gracias!

Reliable food that you get from spoons but far too many tables for the size of the pub ( uncomfortably rammed)

A very nice place to go to ,staff was very friendly and checked two times. To make sure we had everything that we ordered and anything else they could help us with, i was very happy with the service

Absolute scam. Bought 2 drinks for £25 anticipating them being pitchers however, they brought back 2 small glasses of cocktails with the waiter adding a « you got scammed » remark. The worst Wetherspoons I’ve been to. Would never go again.

Typical spoons decent food, good table service and an endless supply of hot drinks You get what you pay for but the breakfast is hard to beat

Slightly more expensive than your average Wetherspoons which is understandable being in a tourist area. The pub is very small so you might struggle to find a table during peak times. We came in for breakfast and you can’t fault it for £6.99, the bacon actually had some colour for a change!

Nice pub good atmosphere in the middle of Leister Square

Unsurprisingly due to the location the prices are more expensive than your average Spoons. What is surprising is that it is absolutely rammed when it isn't a particularly great Spoons and the prices are expensive, why not go to a more historic or fun pub?

Pretty good choice of meals for you to enjoy, usual options available plus cater for vegetarians as well as those that like a burger. Plenty of choice for drinks, ale's, lager and wine plus a variety of spirits and mixer's, and soft drinks. Outdoor seating as well as indoor, always pretty busy due to price and location... Worth a visit when in London to enjoy the sights as so central to a lot of things going on.

The staff is super friendly!!! I forgot to tell him that his earrings r amazing but I will do next time :)

No complaints, fabulous fry up.

It's a pub and it sells alcohol cheaper than all the other pubs in London....... Sweet!!

Due to the large flow of people, the door was constantly open and there was a strong draft inside

The spoons is relatively small compared to other since it only has one floor

Where can you get a great meal plus an alcoholic drink for under £15 in Leicester Square? Wetherspoons of course! I had a huge portion of chicken ramen that was better than Wagamama plus a G&T. Fast friendly service.

Cheap location and fast service for central London

Really liked it in here, spotless, not at all intimidating & the bouncer on the door was lovely really polite beautiful smile. The food cod & chips did not disappoint very reasonable prices on bottled beer will be returning

A big thank you to Dorian who is French and welcomes you with great kindness

A well located Wetherspoon's pub close to Leicester Square. Always very busy and difficult to get seated. Contrary to almost all other Wetherspoons, this one, because of its location, has meals and drinks at normal London prices. Well, what would you expect! It's still good if you're there.

Waitress in general were rude throwing stuff on the table and making faces when my friends asked for something

Smow space, to long waiting dor table

The bar was packed, got to the back and found a table, the one thing with a wetherspoons pub no matter where it is the Abbott is always really good -often better than in a Green King pub. We eat the food was fine and the beer free with the meal you can’t beat this prices even in the west end, they are reasonable.

The bouncer tonight was super unfriendly and over bearing towards us I’d say because we ain’t locals I don’t really know. I would not return as a tourist. Staff have zero customers service

The food here is good. Bar service is also prompt. However, the young woman serving the tables was sullen toward me for reasons unknown.

Pretty good spoons in a convenient location

The worst beer I have ever had in my life. Take Greene King Ipa

The waiter with braids doesn't know how to treat people, he yells at anyone, he has no education and he breaks the atmosphere, it's not worth going.It doesn't have good ranges of armed drinks and the menu is poorly indicated.one of the worst drinks I have ever had in my life and I am drinking in more than 26 countries, the drinks are confused with water because they are so diluted.

Despite the place is crowded with customers, once you are seated the service is quick and nice. The cousine is nothing fancy, but is of a good quality and so are the beers. Cheers!

Good pub. Highly recommended. Prices have increased and portions are smaller. Find Wetherspoon in Lewisham much better. But in the city center this is the best. Not so loud and sits well.

Very poor bouncers, wrong judgment on the doors, whoever is a survivor please change that. They do not give you favours.

Turned up sober and was accused by the doorman of being too drunk to go inside? Other than that it's ok

Weatherspoons in Leicester square. Good food and a good place to take a break for food and a drink. Can get very busy and noisy.

Very busy and small spoons. Toilets small had to queue for them every time. Was walking around for 45 minutes trying to get a seat, but it was london at xmas, everywhere was rammed. Food was as expected with spoons. Staff were incredibly busy but still helpful.

Nice pub with sensible prices. Ideal meeting place.

Me and my wife looking for food got turned away at 5pm on a Thursday for being "drunk". Neither of us had been drinking

It's a really busy place, it doesn't sell alcohol until 12, so it's a nice place to go for breakfast, after that it's chocker, very small but still cheap for a drink.

We've never eaten here so can't say anything about the food. But it's a good pub, always has good beers as Wetherspoons always do. The staff are friendly and it's good on prices too

This is great place in city centre for drinks and quick bites. Affordable prices, food was prepared very quickly, not the best quality but it was OK. The best from the menu is curry, or veggie burger. The place is non stop full so grab the first table you see 😁

Nice local pub with very reasonable prices.

Had a good experience at JD Wetherspoon in Leicester Square! The place is a quite busy place. Well, it's a good place to grab a casual drink or meal. The menu had a great variety of options, and the food was tasty. The staff were good. It was a busy spot, especially being in Leicester Square, but the service was quick. Overall, it’s a great spot if you’re looking for food and drinks in a central location. I’d definitely recommend it for anyone in the area – good value for money and a pleasant experience all around!

What is expected at Wetherspoons: acceptable food, at an acceptable price. All day brunch with a pint for approx £15. Personally, this chain is a safe bet throughout the United Kingdom despite the bad reputation it sometimes gets.

Great breakfast, it was very busy and you had to sit at a dirty table waiting for someone to clear it.

Great wetherspoons. Gets busy. Perfect meet up point.

Normally nobody will come to take order at the table

It was one of the most disgusting and infuriating experiences of my life, all because of a drunk, racist girl. 🤗 When we arrived at the pub, we couldn’t find any seats. Someone kindly offered us theirs, but then this girl came over and demanded that we share the table with a couple. While we were perfectly fine with sharing, what happened next was beyond insulting. She had the audacity to talk to the couple as if my friend and I couldn’t understand English, using a blatantly disrespectful and condescending tone. It was a clear act of racism, and her attitude was absolutely disgusting. What made the situation even worse was the sad reality that no one around us stepped in to help or say anything. It felt incredibly isolating and disappointing to see people just stand by and do nothing. Although the manager was decent and we usually enjoy Wetherspoons, this experience completely ruined our night. I’ve never been more disappointed. Thanks for giving us that experience.🫶

Really good Wetherspoon pub next to the busy area manger was fantastic service was great and great atmosphere but would recommend some music

The establishment was clean and busy from a mixture of locals and tourists. Great prices on alcohol and non alcoholic beverages. They do offer food but I will didn't order anything on this occasion so I could not make any comments on this.

City centre Wetherspoons tucked in the corner of Leicester Square.Always busy. Long and narrow so not easy to move about. Handy for cinemas, theatres etc.

Everything works with an app. Which is horrible to order. It lacks service and the food is nothing to write home about.....get by. The best location.

A bit laud but love their fish and chips

Did a fine job of filling the gap with food and drink .

Always visit here when in London for a show, always busy and hard to find a seat but if you wait a seat will become available

Not disabled friendly, the tables are way too close to eachother so you can't get out to go to the toilet or refill your hot drink or go to the bar. It gets super busy and it is usually so noisy too. The staff are kind and the place is clean food is good

Good pub . On Leicester Square.

It's a Spoons. Enough said. Great customer service and waiter service though. Fast and friendly.
