The Reeds Arms in Sedgemoor

The first member of staff who served me was clearly not having a good day. Polite, but not very cheery. The next time I ordered 1 drink, this was entered incorrectly for me ( I dont drink Thatchers!) Which i questioned. This was dealt with very curtly!! I'm sorry if they are all having a bad day, but it's not my fault. I was nothing but polite and expect some courtesy in return!

Excellent beach front pub bar hotel

Very disappointed. We had been looking forward to the steak club. It has been stopped, even though the menu still says, Tuesday is steak club. The female behind the bar, was quite abrupt and didn't have the patience to deal with us, it wasn't busy at the time and she couldn't be bothered really. We have been given a gift card to celebrate our Diamond Wedding (60 years). The 'meal' we ended up with was really mediocre, the beer was good! We have money left on our gift card and how we are going to use it, we are scratching our heads, the food being offered is poor.. we feel cheated and had to return home for cheese and wine to try and make the best of a bad so called meal. .

Very large pub with a good amount of outdoor seating, I found it a clean and welcoming place to visit. The food was excellent and the service was quick and the food was hot, We were asked 3 times if our food was Ok. (And yes it was). Great service JD the Reed's a jewel in your crown.

Food was very tasty but not what I wanted. Apparently they no longer serve steaks anymore nationwide. Yet they sell burgers?

Called for a couple of pintsvif old rosie. Great staff .nice friendly customers

The Reeds Arms is your average spoons. We had breakfast twice here when visiting Burnham. Food came out really quick and was hot. Staff were friendly.

We were. Served by the manager outside. We had our disabled dog in pushchair. He came out. Took one look at our dog reluctantly. Gave us. Our food but rudely. Said. No dog policy. Didn't give us chance. To say sorry. Just eate you're meal and go no sign aboutnodogs outside. Not what he. Said but manager needs. To look at his attitude in customer care. Will not go back and. Will not. Be recommend. People to go there. So weatherspoons. Your. Manager. Of weatherspoons. Needs. Course. In customer care. Unhappy. Customer.

Excellent value. Great food & drink

Update 09.04.25 Visited with family again, 8 of us in total. Difficult to find somewhere to sit where the tables weren't full of dirty plates or glasses as staff hadn't cleared them. We ordered our food simultaneously and yet again it arrived at different times with items missing like the included side salad. Staff were friendly but lacking in numbers. Update 14.11.24 We live very close to the Reeds Arms. We visited here today for the first time in a few months and were disappointed. Since our last visit in the Summer, the quality and portion size of meals has deteriorated badly. Our party consisted of 4 and despite ordering together, all our food arrived at different times. It was very gloomy inside as most of the lights were turned off which made it quite unpleasant to eat and chat. The staff were friendly though. Update 26.05.2022 We now avoid using the Reeds Arms unless absolutely necessary. Many items on the menu aren't available, tables are cluttered with empty glasses & plates which are left uncleared for ages and staffing levels appear low which is probably why the venue appears so messy and staff seem unhappy & overworked. My husband and I have moved nearby and decided to try here. Reservations aren't necessary and the social distancing protocols in place are excellent. We couldn't get the app to work for some reason to order but a member of staff came to our table within minutes and took it instead. The food was presented well on hot plates and tasted lovely. We had a meal deal with a drink which was good value for money. We'll definitely be returning.

Great place to go for some food and drinks. Great selection and friendly staff.

Decent food and plenty of beer choices good breakfast but please make them hotter when you get to the end it's col6

Just a spoons, can’t go wrong. Great prices, alright food and drink. The beer doesn’t seem watered down. Service quick :) Quiz was going on while we were here which was great to take part.

Visited this establishment on Tuesday night for a drink. One person serving and three performing other duties. Made the time at bar a little excessive. Went there again on Wednesday evening. Three of us had food for £38 . Ordered on the app. Meals keep getting worst. Later on there was a q whilst I was waiting to be served at the bar. After 6 min , its my turn. Bar staff asked who is next and I tried to place my order, only to be informed he is serving the gentleman who has just aproached the bar. I mentioned my disatisfaction. Worst spoons ever, and I have done a lot.

One of the better Wetherspoons. Staff always friendly and helpful. Food always up standard. Was brought to our table really quickly after ordering. Also both Thatchers Gold and Haze on draught.

Usual JD food and service ,always seek out a Wetherspoons. Mi

The food is always really nice, great prices, and served quickly although giving a lower star rating as more often than not the tables are filthy and never cleaned. Other than that, not a bad pub.

Nice atmosphere. Staff really friendly. Great choice of ale, which is kept very well. Food also very good. And fantastic value. Would definitely visit again.

Nice place, out of season in March it's very quiet, staff friendly, food is good value and beer cheap. Would recommend

Incredibly rude waitress, coffee machines not turned on. As I attempted to use the machine - waitress removed my cup and slammed it to the side! Without and help or explanation - the queue was 10 people long and she made no attempt to assist! Breakfast arrived- burnt muffin - poached eggs solid, bread cut after asking for it to be left whole - forgot half the order! Waitress also rude to another customer who clearly had learning difficulties, tutting and huffing at him! Not impressed - oh and the internet wouldn’t work

Lovely pub. Just had a drink there, too early for lunch. It's a great building, toilets upstairs, many stairs. Good job I have a disabled key, still need to be strong to open the door.

Good food quickly delivered even though busy

Lady who took our order needs customer service slice skills. Very miserable, no please, no thank you no enjoy your meal. Dreadful other customer experiences by the end of of the day.

The food was really good and the drinks are affordable. Overall excellent place

Very good...the only thing that let them down...is obviously up stairs toilets.

Ordered on app said drinks waiting time would be two minutes , after 15 mins went to bar to ask where our drinks were and was told they knew about them but were very busy and didn't have time to do them . i said i could have sat at my table for half an hour then and still be waiting the bar lady said yes but i will pour it for you now if you wait. The place was only about half full and while i was at the bar there was only 1 other person being served . There was also quite alot of staff walking arounfd not doing very much. Me and my wife very often go nto wetherspoons for drinks and food and generally find them good . but the Reeds in burnham is definitly one to avoid. staff just dont seem to care. Contacted wetherspoons customer service but was fobbed off with what sounded like a stock email apology with a request not to be put off in future , but we will never go in this wetherspoons again and would advise the same to anyone else.

Lovely old pub, usual weatherspoons fare, quick service and friendly staff, handy location right on the prom. Always visit when in Burnham

Was unusually quiet. Even though it was kids half term in Wales. Good service. Didn't eat this time. Only real issue is that it can be draughty near the doors as the prevailing wind comes in off the Bristol Channel. Many customers do not close the doors. Not Spoons problem.

Review of The Burnham-on-Sea Wetherspoons Right, well, let’s get into it. I find myself in Burnham-on-Sea, no real plans for the day, and I think to myself, “Why not pop into the local Wetherspoons for a bite?” It’s reliable, inexpensive, and a chance to indulge in a cheeky pint. All good, right? Now, let’s start with the food. I’m not expecting a five-star dining experience, but I’ve got to say, for microwaved fare, it’s pretty decent. I ordered the classic breakfast, and I’ll tell you this — the eggs, oh the eggs. Now, they’ve been microwaved into a firm, no-nonsense state, shall we say. I’d describe them as “robust.” They’re hard, maybe a touch overcooked, but that’s not always a bad thing. Some people prefer their eggs with a bit of structure, something you can really sink your teeth into. These eggs were resilient, unyielding, and they stood their ground like a true egg should. Solid, dependable, and not a hint of runniness. No surprises here — just a satisfying, eggy bite. For microwaved eggs, that’s a victory in itself. The rest of the breakfast? Well, the bacon was crisp, the sausages had a certain charm about them — a bit greasy, but that’s what we’re here for, isn’t it? It was filling and, considering the circumstances, better than I expected. But now, let’s talk about the true crime in this establishment: the carpet. The carpet, folks, is a disaster. I don’t know if it’s been there since the ‘90s or if it’s just perpetually sticky from the vast array of spilled drinks over the years, but good lord. Every step felt like I was wading through treacle. It was so sticky that by the end of my meal, I was genuinely worried I might need to check my shoes for residue. It’s like trying to walk on a public toilet floor, except it’s not clean enough to be a public toilet. I mean, this carpet has seen better days, and by better days, I mean any days prior to today. And the drink? Oh, the drink. I ordered a pint of Directors Bitter — classic choice. But what arrived was a flat, stale pint that could’ve doubled as the base for a science experiment. It was barely drinkable, honestly. It tasted like it had been sitting in the pipes since the last World Cup. One sip and I thought, “I can’t believe I’m doing this,” but I pushed through, as you do. I’ll be honest, it wasn’t the pint of ambition I was hoping for. So, to sum up: the food, surprisingly good for microwaved fare, especially those eggs — a real triumph of firmness. But, the carpet situation is enough to make you question your life choices, and the stale beer was a bit of a letdown. 3/5 stars. I’ll come back for the eggs, but next time, I’ll bring a mop and a fresh pint of something that hasn’t been hanging around since the dawn of time.

Amazing service. Had six baked beans with my breakfast. Asked for another baked bean and the staff were friendly and obliging.

The best weatherspoons i have been. Food is perfect and hot. The staff are helpful and friendly. Good selection of drinks. Nice view of the sea. What more can you ask. Easy 5 stars from me.

Getting expensive now and cheaper to eat elsewhere.

Spoons as usual. More than happy to revisit when we go that way

We ( family of five grandparents , parents and young adult ) visited tonight 7/2/2025 our order was taken quickly and our food arrived promptly and was really good Fish and chips, steak and chips , mixed grill, burger and chips abd steak and kidney pie , the staff are very efficient and the duty manager was polite and very professional and real asset to the Establishment along with the tiger member of staff tending tables . Well done fellas a good job done tonight

February. Arrived 08.15 so one of the first in, Ordered 2 traditional breakfasts (just gone up in price apparently...could have had the small ones which are £2 cheaper but wouldn't have got the one slice of toast)....service was fast, the breakfast arrived quicker than you could make it....but cold. I mean proper cold, everything was cold...the beans, bacon, hash browns and the toast. Sausage Luke warm...egg cold, but runny, bonus lol. Never again!! My local Weatherspoons seem to manage a decent, hot breakfast? What went wrong here?

Usually busy especially summertime. What you dxpect from a Wetherspoons pub

Brayden was brilliant, best bartender in all of Somerset woohooo !!!

What can you say about a place which has such fast food service that it makes you wonder how they managed to get it cooked in that time.... well the answer is quite possibly that they cooked the burgers in advance and warmed them up as needed. That becomes particularly more likely when you spend the night and the morning afterwards ( edit ... and still not recovered by the following Monday) on the toilet with what appears to be food poisoning! The servers there were lovely, but the food was frankly rubbish. A gourmet burger was just a couple of dry burgers with some dry bacon in a brioche bun, oh yes with oven chips and some old recycled dip. They should expect a visit from a health inspector soon and whatever it is they are doing to cut corners, they need to pack it in and do things right. Friendly staff, Great atmosphere, and a lovely place to sit and chat with friends.... just don't order the food is my advice. Update on Monday 23rd. A family member pointed out that I really should have spoken to the venue to give them a chance to rectify the problem before giving a poor review. So, being a fair minded chap, I called them on Saturday - the day after my visit. I was told that Nick, the Bar manager would call me back to discuss it when he arrived between 5 and 6pm that evening. Its now Monday night and he never did bother to call. Says it all I reckon. So my view remains... don't eat there. The food isn't brilliant anyway and it probably isn't worth the risk.

It's a spoons, it's the same as every other spoons. Just with different carpet.

I had the Turkey Christmas Special. It was delicious and arrived quickly, more than can be said for my drink (ordered at the same time). Unfortunately the drink only arrived when I was more than half way eating my delicious dinner. It's a shame really, I had to deduct a star

Just spent 36 hours feeling like I’ve been food poisoned after eating fish and chips here. The food arrived a minute after the drinks arrived! Obviously undercooked! I’ve just spent the last 36 hours on the toilet!! I will never return here!

I was very Impressed with the food at weatherspoons in Burnham every time I go there with my partner it's always clean the staff comes around checking on you I will be definitely back thankyou very much

Clean quick service.Spotless toilets.Excellant breakfast very reasonable.

Didn't dine but busy as always ,good selection of beers etc .Polite bar staff

Nice curry deal and delicious food. App seemed more money than paper menu. Always worth a visit.

We had a two night stay in Burnham this past week and of course, you have to check out the local weatherspoons. Thursday is curry special night. I was disappointed the price was more on the app than the menu on the table. I enjoyed my curry anyway. I like the 660ml brewdog hazy jane. I also noticed the breakfast menu was a pound more than my local in Tewkesbury.

Edit November 24 Sadly the pub has slipped downhill again. After 18 months the food is now poorly prepared and mostly burnt, burgers like ice hockey pucks, fish dry, flat and with inedible batter. the beer is indifferently kept and the waiting service hopelessly slow. Another 20 minute wait for my drinks to arrive, on the third visit in succession. One can only hope this is a an issue with the staff being overworked as there does seem to be fewer about. Edit, Feb 23 Went back to this pub last night and it was transformed. After more than a decade of being the worst Wetherspoons in the country, a pub that caused me to judge all Wetherspoons poorly, it was clean, warm, comfortable, the beer was excellent and the food also. Staff were happy, and polite, looked after the place and the whole atmosphere so much better. Interestingly, the customers who previously treated the place like a dump, controlled their children and general behaviour was much improved. I don't know what you did here, Wetherspoons, but whatever it was, well done.

If I could give no stars then I would I waited ten minutes but still wasnt served even though I was the only one waiting Totally ignorant staff I will never ever go there again !

Same Wetherspoons value, great location for car parking.

Frequent visitors overall good service great atmosphere however being disabled I noted when very busy (football) all the makes disabled or not would use the disabled loo. A bit of a pain as gentlemen often miss thus a wet floor. One visit went to go in and someone has literally covered walls floor with excrement was like & explosion was everywhere. Spoke to I think was bar manager who just didn't know what to say or do before he could say something a very large male came barging through pushed past me my sister and bar man to use it! I was forced to go up stairs to use the ladiesabd being disabled using a crutch was extremely painful took so long ! Finally made it but my sister started being sick after the disgusting state of disabled loo. It was had enough for me what would someone do if had to change a baby?. I appreciate some disability are not obvious but I don't think that extends to a good proportion of males being too lazy to use the gents.

You get what you pay for, as a regular user of spoons you know what to expect.

A very busy pub,very well organised staff seemed happy ,and always clearing table

Atypical Spoons. Extremely busy due to Firework display bringing in the punters but service and food quality still to a very high standard.

Crazy busy and noisy but staff were doing their best to serve us quickly

Noisy noisy with uncontrolled kids shouting everyone down spoilt the otherwise good service and great value grub that Wetherspoon always presents

Excellent pub great staff food very good quality for the price a real local pub feel to the place

Wetherspoons, so exactly what you would expect. Staff don't seem very friendly here though.

Vary good. Service, quick, clean and enjoyed visit.

Not the best (food always cold)

Local pub good affordable drinks. Needs more booths.

Prompt service and friendly staff

Very nice pub Understaffed and tables dirty and full of glasses But would visit again lovely sea view

Excellent value and food was fabulous

It is a very nice destination for vacation. It's right on the water...coffees and busy shops invite you to linger.

As expected. Service was exceptionally good . 😁

Dark and dingy. Steak really chewy, probably the worst I've ever had. Service quick and professional.

Brilliant service, and a lovely spot right on the corner at Burnham on sea. 🥰

can be busy at peak times but usual Wetherspoon level

The usual excellent wetherspoons value for money. Not the most beautiful pub, but comfy enough and cheap as chips.

Staff were all friendly and attentive. Food was about what you'd expect from a spoons - cheap n cheerful

Nice enough pub, but there are some serious attitude problems among some of the staff there. Perhaps they're in the wrong job. The nice ones (and there are a few) are carrying them - sadly the good ones never stick around. Don't blame them

proper job this spoons great all round

We came in as it was Steak night. Customer service was uninviting they acted like robots.. No interaction. We were served up a chewy steak and 12 chips. We actually couldn't speak to the waiter as was in shock.. We spent £25 on that.. Brent Knoll carvery from now on!!

You have to go here just for the view from the mens toilet amazing my husband took pics for me

Rather disappointed with the staffs attitude. We returned to the Reed Arms after being in there earlier in the day for lunch and an evening meal as we were visiting Burnham. My husband ordered 2 double Bells and 2 mixers on the app. They were bought to our table and I noticed one was a single and one a double. My husband took them straight back to the bar and was told we'd put mixer in one (2 full bottles of mixer were on our table) then there was more ice in one. He was made to feel he was telling lies. They eventually put it right but the attitude of the staff was dreadful. I don't think they like anyone to be in the pub after 10 at night. Dreadful customer service.

Typical Wetherspoons pub, very busy but still room. Staff were fine and food was good.

Great little pub. Right on the sea front.

Had a lovely meal and drinks friendly staff.

One of my favourite spoons good food and service

Great location with excellant food. Brilliant staff

Very popular and very busy. Struggled to find a table but food was decent and served quickly. It was very noisy but you have to accept that given how busy it was.

It's Spoons, you know the score.

Typical Spoons, decent enough food and cheap beer. Service was good via the app, exactly as we wanted.

Only issue was I couldn't get the app working. Think the walls are to thick🤣

Original interesting building on seafront.

We came on holiday to this area and found this Weatherspoons. The food was always quickly serviced and the very small quibbles we had were dealt with by the staff well. Food was hot and tasty and the pub was clean with friendly staff

Good service from the friendly staff. Food was good too would recommend 😋

Usual Wetherspoon value and good food. Excellent public parking over the road, loads of space and only 1.90p for two hours.

Good atmosphere, food was above JD average.

Used to eat regularly there but very doubtful if weal be back food was cold and table was filthy which waiter got irritated about when shown the wipe I used to clean the table standers have drastically dropped great deal

Very crowded and not much outside space. Food was very good.As expected from a Wetherspoons.

This was a mixed bag. 5 of us between us we ordered 2 different burgers (both were good) chicken basket (not bad) and 2 mixed grills, these were very poor and could barely tell the difference between the over cooked types of meat. The only saving grace was that you got a drink to wash it down with.

Been here many times. Their cider and beer is really great and very well priced and their food is really good with their cod and chips being some of the best to come out of the cheaper end of British pubs, although saying that, their pizza isn’t that great and borderline awful. The service is also brilliant and a lot of the staff are very welcoming. On average if u want just a main meal, one alchoholic drink and a soft drink you can do this for around £15 and sometimes you may even be able to fit in a dessert too without going above £20 for your total spending per person. Parking is located opposite at B&M or about 5 minutes up the road down Old Station Approach, but unfortunately you will need to pay for parking. If those car parks are full, which they usually aren’t, you can always park in the car park opposite Lidl down Oxford Street, which is about a 10 minute walk away through the high street. You can also try for road side parking down the High Street or Seafront as well, but do keep in mind that the high street is a one way system.

Very busy but staff did their upmost best to deliver fast service with a smile! Very clean considering the amount of people coming in from the beach. Food was hot and yummy

It's a Wetherspoons , it is cheap and cheerful. Our meal was good value as it included a drink so the price was good. Food was OK and acceptable for the price , freshly cooked and hot. Drinks were good with some good offers . Large choice of the usual pub classics , grills and steaks, plus some pizzas and pastas. Burgers looked good, too. Service was good , we ordered by the app from our table outside and our drinks and food arrived quickly. Staff were smiling , polite, and helpful. All in all, as it is a Wetherspoon, it is cheap and cheerful, not high end, but if you visit this chain, you can guarantee good value. This one in Burnham on sea and could do with some tlc, but our meal and drinks were OK with no complaints.

Could not serviced at bar walk out

Its a disgrace dirty tables some staff ok others not did not like being told the truth won't be going back

Breakfast wasn't great I'm afraid. Bacon was super dry to a rancid crisp. Very small portion of beans . Sausage was tasteless. Toast wasn't fantastic but edible. The coffee machines were great with the free refill. Overall your typical Spoons. Building was nice and I liked the cleanliness of toilets.

Changed from 1 of our regulars to wont be back Can't believe how it's detereated cold food filthy tables and some staff who are ignorant and couldn't care less

Felt claustrophobic, tables too close to each other and really low ceilings. Food was passable l, what you'd expect in Spoons nowadays.
