The New Cross Turnpike - J D Wetherspoon in Bexley

Great place 2 drink good choice of beer friendly staff

Unfortunately we visited with our Disabled son, we sat very close to the Disabled toilet, I really don't understand why the staff went out of their way to let able bodied people use the Disabled toilet who then left the door open so every single person used the toilet one after the other, none of which washed their hands and used the hand dryer, every time my son went to use the toilet some able bodied person was in there keeping him waiting which is very hard to see and even harder to not say anything but had I done so I would have been surrounded by probably 12 or more drunks who were all taking it in turns to use the Disabled toilet, I'm sure this happens every single day/night.

Fella was nice to my kids and clear on what to do. No changing shoes required!!

Everything is lovely it's just that the food takes quite long even when it's not busy in comparison to other wetherspoons I go to.

My local, always a good atmosphere, plenty of seating, steak was great, drink were cold, service was good, staff are friendly ✌️

Good service friendly staff reasonable prices

Very strange layout with lots of stairs. Choice of upstairs or downstairs seating. Large bar. Able to see cellar (located upstairs strangely) which I thought was interesting. Very nice staff and overall nice experience.

Beth is the number 1 there ,great staff ,great quality and a fantastic service, highly recommended

Food arrived quickly and the staff were so friendly

A busy Wetherspoon's pub in Welling, Kent. Their prices are even lower than similar pubs in the same London borough, and far below those charged in central London. Update: another pleasant visit, for a steak and kidney pudding lunch for two. Including two pints of Leffe Blonde, it came to £19.70. Thank you, Sir Tim.

Standard spoons. Toilets are ridiculously far away, even for a spoons.

Get what you expect. Actually never disappointed and if I was every now and then I would expect it. One of the better ones

Great quick meal. Staff is very helpful.

Well worth a visit, great prices and atmosphere, only parking is on the main street or back roads, disabled access from street level, as all weatherspoons disabled toilet ground floor and standard toilets on first floor with steps up and down, needed a map to find my seat from the toilets 🙂. Table service was good and fast. We went at 4pm and it was very busy, roof top seating area and an extra set of stair to another seating area even higher up, well worth a visit

Nice atmosphere, quick friendly service. Table service is good and nice to not have to go to the bar. We visit regularly. Good prices for food and drink. Free wifi.

Wide space but limited screens. If visit is to watch games then not super convenient.

Probably the worse steak I've ever had.. The chef needs to learn how to cook a rare steak...its nit the first time at this spoons. Go to Margate or Ramsgate, they'll show you how to cook it .Lovely front of house staff,it's a shame.

It's not a bad place but choice of ales in this Spoons hasn't been brilliant for ages now - you're better off in the Wrong Un or Furze Wren down the road in Bexleyheath.

It's a 'spoons' with everything that you expect from a 'spoons. Its cheap. Its cheerfull

Me and my husband came in early Saturday evening for some food and a drink.. It was packed we were lucky to get a table! We ordered through the app.. our drinks arrived very quickly… they were brought to us by a smiley member of staff with blue hair… it looked like she was run off her feet… she also brought out our food, which arrived very quickly and piping hot.. again with a smile and a enjoy your meal! It was so busy but the service was speedy and with a smile! To the young lady with the blue hair (I wish I had asked her name!!) Thank you

Was nice and chilled experience and food was good and quick

Surprisingly not quite as run down as you might expect from a down run area such as Welling.

A nice welcoming local plenty of space and choice on we're to sit over 3 levels with outside seating great choice of drinks and food. Facilities are clean and well maintained, staff friendly, and happy to help, any issues can be resolved and any special dietary requirements looked after by staff and chief.

The customer service is very good, polite, friendly and attentive to details. The food is good as well, it took around 15 to 20 minutes for the order to come. Great place to eat out. Highly recommended 👍

This is our go-to breakfast spot; the balance between price and quality is just right.

Just went for a quick drink with myself as you do! Self care baby 🤣 ordered a cocktail x

Loved it! Clean, comfortable, plenty of room and great service!

Found the place dirty Plates left on the table for ages that long we had to asked them to be cleared Service very slow

Didn’t have food only a coffee but people here pretty friendly, much bigger than you think inside

We were in here last night great pub. Also want to mention Victor he is a machine cleaned our table straight away sorted our drinks really quickly such a friendly guy nothing was too much trouble for him.

Main problem with the Turnpike is the staffing levels, they never get it right. Glasses piled high high waiting to be washed on the shelf were customers sit. One member of staff serving behind the bar one doing the app and food. Been in the other Wetherspoons in the area and they all put the Turnpike to shame. Customers taken for granted.

I am adding a further review regarding a meal last night. A great member of staff called Victor (16/04/24) was helpful ad courteous. He deserves a mention. The rest of this review is about a lunch visit! Lovely, clean and friendly. We had lunch today and there was plenty of spaces to sit so we chose the upper outside area near the roof terrace. A member of staff was very kind and helpful....he was a great asset to the team. The food and drinks were excellent and well priced.

Great staff. Ale is always consistently good.

Good range of usual ales but also three guest bitters that were excellent. Staff were friendly and efficient. Curry Club Thursday was good

Large and multi level J D Wetherspoon's. Very good selection of real ales and the two I tried were in top condition. We were there on a Thursday or in "spoon speak" curry day so we all had curry for lunch. A couple of complaints about soggy onion bhajees but otherwise all of the party happy with their meals. A very satisfactory visit.

Friendly staff and very helpful

food has gone up a lot this year had the gourmet steak not great table service was ok considering lack of staff

Foods okay, ordering drinks or food on the app straight to the table and friendly staff

My local wetherspoons. best service, friendly staff and great atmosphere. best thing about this place is that it’s always affordable and the food is always great.

Excellent value for money food and a great range of beers, etc. My only downer are the customers that are unable to keep the conversations at a tolerable level and think the F-Word goes between every other word they utter. Very friendly staff tpp

It's always clean in here, and the toilets are spotless as well. The staff are just super friendly. Food is brought out quickly and without problems. This has to be my favourtie Spoons!

Great place to come to with cheap drinks and food, came here with a friend was served by josh and Jake, class lads had a laugh and was served quick , give em a pay rise for holding down the pub on a busy Thursday, the rest of the team we class aswell🙌🏼

Nice evening, not too busy. Quick app service for drinks which is handy. Wine nice and cold. Would visit again, good value for money.

🤮🤮 food came cold they even sent a new one and had the same again witch was uncooked

Bit of a stale atmosphere toilets a long teck typical weatherproons service was fast and polite.

Food is cooked and I base this on my last visit for breakfast (3/3/24). I usually buy the large English breakfast and change the 3 hash brown to 2 slices of black pudding. Never had an issue ordering this at the bar in Bexleyheath nor welling until today when the bar lady said I couldn’t do it. I assured that I’d done plenty of times but then I only received one slice of black pudding instead of two. Hopefully next time I’ll receive two slices like many times before.

Lovely pub, plenty of space. Always enjoy what the bup has to offer,The toilets are 3 sets of stairs not a good point, ant the person that went off with my friends bottle of raspberry vodka shame on you, that was her Christmas present.

Met up with friends for drinks. Took age's to get served at the bar, they need more bar staff rather than one or two when it's busy. Good atmosphere, everyone in there was friendly.

Lovely breakfast. Friendly staff and customers.

Nice place to grab breakfast and a beer.

Arrived with friends and ordered drinks using the app. After 30 minutes were told there was no order even though we had order confirmation. Ordered again at the bar and after 45 minutes our original drinks arrived. Each order we made took 40-45 minutes to arrive so we ordered them when we received the previous order. No glasses collected so I had wine out of a brandy glass, beer glass and water tumbler. They had no wine glasses as they were not clearing tables, it looked a terrible state. When we ordered out meals, they arrived in a timely fashion but not the drinks that were ordered with them. There was no salt to put on our chips, I asked for them and they said that they should get them the following day. The service was totally unacceptable. The staff told us that there was no Manager present to complain to. We suggested they turned off the app to help to solve the problem so that customers could go to the bar but was advised they were unable to do that.

Finally, they did start putting beans into a separate bowl.

Fantastic pub food beer and staff are first class

If you like peace and quiet, then go in the morning as it gets quite lively and loud from late afternoon onwards, definitely not kid friendly. Good food, good choice of beers, and all at an unbeatable Wetherspoons price.

You get what you get from a weatherspoons but for the price you pay, it’s excellent value

Nice pub friendly staff and very quick service and very friendly locals all in all glad that we visited this establishment

Nice place for breakfast very reasonable

Good food, cheerful service and a nice place to be

Great for all. Nice outside space upstairs.

Very loud on a Friday night but it's cheap food and drink

Very loud long wait for food not impressed

Good pub. Great value for money.

I recently visited this bar and had a great experience.food and drinks were very good at affordable prices.the bar has 3 levels and 3 terraces one of which is a rooftop terrace. We sat on the first level at a very comfortable table.we will definitely return.

Very nice place. Good meal and drink.

Always good value for money. Loved views from terrace bar.

Terrible terrible waitress. NOT ONLY DID she got us the wrong order. She did NOT apologise rather made us wait for another 35 minutes. When we asked about our dessert she SHOUTED out saying, oh are you ready for your order NOW then made us wait little longer by this time we had been the pub for nearly two hours!!!!!! Finally we gave up and went to the till to cancel our order which was nothing fancy just American pancake !!!!!!! I couldn’t understand how it can take nearly a hour !!!!!!! The waitress had an awful body odour as well. NEVER EVER EVER go to this pub if you want to have a good time with family …. The waitress with the green top shouldn’t be in service industry.end of!! Thank you for the gentleman with long hair for listening and cancelling our order at the end as requested.

£7.30 for 2 pints. A Guinness and a brewdog punk ipa. What's not to like?

Disgusting service 2 people behind bar lied to me saying certain food is not in stock even was in stock as a rang and who I talked to on the phone said it is in stock but then when I turned up and asked to order behind bar 2 others lied to me and said it isn't so then asked manager and she said it is in stock.

Should be named Turnaround and carry on walking!!!! Just looking at the people sitting outside!!!! Not for me!!! Go down the road and you will find nicer pubs! Just saying!

This 'spoons benefitted from a refit after a major fire a few years ago. It is the better for it with a garden area out back and a roof terrace. As usual the beer selection is good and reasonably well kept. The staff are friendly and tend to all, but keep an eye on the regulars. Some newer staff seem to have issues listening or using the tills as on my last visit (4/10/23) several customers had problems with missing food items. Avoid the new Boa buns as they arrive rock hard and no one seems to know they should be steamed and soft. It has a proper local pub feel. A bit of a trek to the toilets, but the lift helps.

This place is a tardis. There are lots of different areas to sit. When we were here the weather had risen to 31 degrees. However, it was cool with the windows opened like balcony doors. The staff were polite and friendly. The dishes we ordered were chicken tikka masala and katsu curry. They were really nice. If you have time take a moment to check out the old photos on the way to the toilets. The toilets were also clean. All in all a great experience.

Dirty glasses piled up. Short staffed and too long to wait for a drink. Trays of drinks left on the bar that had been ordered via the app and not being taken to tables.

Given the hot weather, no draft cider last week, nor this week. Only a Strongbow fizz dispensed from a Stowells "pump" .Local stocktake cockup?

Amazing staff food piping hot,excellent customer service

The food was very nice and delicious. Friendly and polite staff everywhere.

The most friendliest Wetherspoon iv been too. Staff so warm, smiley and helpful. Let me reserve a table on a busy Saturday afternoon. Staff were so busy as bar was packed so we had to wait slightly later for food and drinks but hot when it arrived and very tasty for the amazing price. Big shout out to male waiter he just didn't stop for a good few hours worked off his feet but still had a smile on his face. Will definitely visit again and recommend thank you

The most friendliest wetherspoons iv been too. So very helpful staff. Shout out to male waiter rushed off his feet all afternoon but still had a smile on his face. Staff very apologetic to us as we had to wait longer for food and drinks but we didn't mind as fully understandable as packed bar. Would highly recommend I will definitely visit again

Great pub friendly and professional staff, food is great!

The service was atrocious; the waitress kept badgering me of whether I had finished my food. On top of it all, I had to wait 45min for my plate to be delivered. Avoid

Been to a few franchises this was not the best Inside looked new. Refreshing. The beer garden was small Food was small portions compared to other pubs The price is more expensive than other franchises

We loved drinking on the terrace!

I was unexpectedly in Welling and found this pub in the famous chain of such. I ordered an all day breakfast and my order was taken efficiently. The meal arrived in a short space of time and was well cooked and tasted fine.

Fajny klimat angielskiego pubu. Happy to be there :-)

Had beer with my day, no guniesss so went on to doom bar. 2 pints under a fiver can't complain friendly staff

Nice rooftop seating area, I feel sorry for the staff who have to deliver the food and drinks.

Great place to meet friends or go for a quiet lunch. Normally go lunchtime, lovely place

It's a Wetherspoons, so you have this eclectic mix of old winos and families and groups of lads. It's good honest grub and well priced beers

A modern looking weatherspoons in and outside, good atmosphere and friendly staff

Oneof the better Spoons ive been in very clean and good food

First time at this spoons and it was great. Food and service was really timely and I liked the fact it looked newer than some other pubs. I come up that once a month or so, so will definitely be back.

Great pub - good grub with an excellent selection of drinks.

Was there with a big group, we all ordered food separately and people were moving tables a lot, I sat at the table for ages but my food didn’t turn up, I eventually went down and asked where my order was? They had already brought it up and shouted out about the order, I was not sitting on the table I ordered it from but the near table over so I was waiting for them to bring it, so it was taken back down stairs, they gave me the food I had ordered that had been sitting for approximately 45 minutes possibly under a heat lamp was still mostly edible garlic bread had gone rock solid in parts though but I did manage to fill up on the other stuffs

Food was regular weatherspoons quality, not bad but not gourmet. The staff were helpful but a bit slow which was unusual as they are normally quite quick. Great atmosphere the whole night!

Very nice to meet up with my friends and have a chat and drink

Usual Weatherspoons really except that there are 2 floors and an out seating space and roof garden. Staff really pleasant and helpful. My only moan is that it is a trek to the toilets if sat on ground floor. There is a lift though. Odd control means you have to keep it pressed for it to move.

My favourite Wetherspoons in the Bexley area & love the upstairs Terrance. Good old spoons as always :p

Decent spoons. Only issue is if you order drinks on the app they seem to take about 10 minutes, while others are just at the bar getting served straight away

Sadly the weather was quite wet today, but that didn't detract from what was a wonderful visit to a lovely pub. The building is quite modern and stands out on the street and this continues inside. The usual array of seating available over a number of levels with some very comfortable options. The staff were lovely but using the app, I didn't have a lot of interaction with them - although they definitely seemed to enjoy themselves chatting with the locals during the coronation. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. There are a few tables out the front and a couple of outdoor areas on different levels out the back. The Guinness was excellent.

Lovely staff and delicious food
