Was so disappointed with The Picture House in Sutton In Ashfield that we went to The Regent instead. Go to The Picture House, say no more. Tired and dated with very little in the way of customer service. Frankly, we couldn't wait to leave.

Without doubt the worst breakfast we have ever had, absolutely disgusting. Ordered 4 full English breakfasts and the beans where stone cold along with the hash browns. Sent it back and waited another 15 minutes and out come the replacements. Burnt bacon, fried eggs that where black underneath and so over cooked you could but your fork in the yolk and pick the whole fried egg up. There was a pool of grease on the plate that I tipped onto a side plate and just gave up and left it. A while back it was ok in here but on this mornings experience we definitely won’t be back.

We have used this Spoons on-and-off for a good while now and have never been disappointed. Today (Sat. 21/05/22) we thought we'd pop in for lunch around 13.00. The place was reasonably busy, not rammed just plenty of punters. Not sure what had happened, but all the empty tables seemed to be piled high with used plates and cutlery. The few tables that were empty and could have been used were actually really quite grubby and needed a good clean. Plenty of food remains scattered over the floor too. Were the staff just too rushed off their feet to actually clear up? The place looked pretty unappetizing, so sorry, we turned round and left.

The quality of the food isn't any problem for me, typical Spoons. However, the tables were dirty all over the place. We politely asked a girl to clean the table, explaining when she had time as she seemed to be on her own. She said yes but over 30 minutes later the table had not been cleaned and the food arrived on a dirty table. She was chit chatting to her family or friends constantly instead. When the food came I asked for Vinegar, and despite it being on the opposite table (which i hadn't seen) the guy just said "it's there" and walked off. All he had to do was be hospitable and pass the vinegar when our meals were on the table.

Usually love Wetherspoons but this place is awful & management well below usual standards (perhaps James area manager ought to step in ) my brother on friday 3rd Jan 2020 ordered 2x fish & chips meals inc drinks @ £7.25 each which is an excellent price of course but when paying for it was charged an extra 49p for his Fosters & an extra 35p for the house red (standard measure not large) when he questioned this the manager who will lose customer satisfaction told him that "the deal is at the time & not always correct " ???? what was he on about ? £6.25 or £7.25 with drink & my brother just had Fosters lager & 1x house red (not large) so this is quite clearly a charge that should not have been made. The food was fine but the principal stinks & James the area manager should address this as my brother has sent an Email to head office on the advice of the duty manager on Sat 4th Jan 2020 so i thank her for her advice although she could not over ride the manager but did suggest sending an Email to Tim Martin @ wetherspoons head office so thank you Carla as you were very friendly. The amount of money is trivial but the principal remains so check you receipt when going here.

Every town needs a Spoons. We've been using our local at least t twice per week since it opened. It's exactly as you'd expect it to be. Always there for a quick breakfast, a decent evening meal on the hop, a great Thursday curry, or pre-drinks prior to a night out. Staff are universally helpful and friendly, and they do their best to keep the place clean. However, choose your times carefully. It's often full of families who can't or won't control their kids, and acoustically the pub is really noisy. Go early to avoid the rush and noise. But, a great handy pub to have in the town.

I have been there in the past where it was pretty nice but this week the service was pretty inadequate. I am not normally one for snotty reviews but to be honest there isn't much to say about this place as we had such a poor experience and there was no excuse for this.Service was unbelievably slow, and by the time we did get served we got que cutted by a young woman and as we told the lad our order he focused his attention to her despite being mid-sentence! Absolutely shocking and very rude from both of them!!!! No apology or anything!I cant say much about the food as due to the waiting times for the drinks it was stone cold by the time we got back to the table! We should not have to wait this long to get served.Also that was the third time my parents asked for a specific meal and failed to have it in stock! They didn't sell the beer I wanted despite it being on the menu.We have since been to other places that gave use not only quick service but also had what we wanted food wise. Unless the above changes we have no reason to come back anytime soon I am afraid.

we use this wetherspoons often with living local and have never had any problems in the past but for the last 2 weeks we've had poor service from a young guy who works here he doesn't seem happy at all and wasn't very polite when approaching us - a smile doesn't hurt! also took pots and cutlery away when people hadn't finished eating and said "have you done?' while taking it away which I find very rude! we wont stop eating here but think you need to train some of your staff.

Hit or miss at this place, sometimes reasonable, other times can be shocking and last night 12th Feb it was shocking. We ordered 4 steaks and only one was cooked as requested. Our two friends requested side salads with their steaks but didn't get any at all. One was overcooked but our friend decided to persevere with it. Our own two steaks were supposed to be medium and medium rare - both were black and well overcooked. The half tomato was also charred black and inedible. We sent our steaks back so our friends had nearly finished their meals by the time we got ours back. We still weren't happy, very dark appearance, not quite medium or medium rare, three of the steaks, 14oz, were tough, mine was very tough, and only one 8oz sirloin was tender. Not good enough. As we left we saw a chef out at the back smoking. The steaks have not been as good as they used to be since they had to change supplier when that company was changing use by dates on the meat. Another pet hate is the way tables are pre-booked at Wetherspoons now and empty round tables (the favourites) are left empty for 2 hours for a reserved booking whilst others have to sit on smaller tables, and could have had their meal within that 2 hour period. Ridiculous. No one asked if our meals were satisfactory either. Unfortunately I didn't take a photo of the meals.

Been to many Wetherspoons but this was by far the worst. Place was pretty grubby. Sat at the only available table which was still dirty. Asked waitress if she could wipe it down. Felt like I'd asked for the world. She half heartedly wiped the table (missing all the sticky stains).

Had my best friend's birthday meal here and the Regent did a fantastic job of making her night as special as possible, especially when managing 20 people around a table isn't the easiest job in the world! The food on all sides seemed to get a unanimous thumbs-up and my BBQ chicken pizza was absolutely divine! Though it isn't obviously the cheapest place in the world, picking up a decent sized pizza for just over £6 seemed like a pretty good deal to me, and the quality of food made it truly feel worth it! Staff were attentive, but also rather casual and did make a fuss of my mate on her birthday -which was really nice. Overall, we had a great night! Lovely Spoons, and unmissable in Kirkby.

Have been going to the REGENT Wetherspoons since it first opened in Kirkby-in-Ashfield a few years ago, when it first opened I was lucky enough to go to the opening night with a special invitation from the manager, It was lovely and thought it was going to be a good thing for our Town, but as all things it has been going slowly down hill, the particular night in question was Halloween 2016 my wife and I called in to have a meal at about 7.30pm there are a number of booths around 5 I believe we said we would go in one as they are a bit more private, as we looked at the booths they were all empty and the reason why was soon evident, there was food on the seats, on the floor under the table, dirty plates and glasses on the tables and menus with food stuck to them, we looked around for staff to ask them to clean them up but none could be found, only one bar staff at back of the bar, we looked around and there was only 20-25 people in so it's not as if they were rushed off there feet. Needless to say we didn't get a meal, but the biggest mistake I made was nipping to the mens loo before heading out, they were disgusting floors wet and the place smelling terrible, what a shame wont be bothering with that place or any other spoons again, wonder if it's the same in the kitchens OMG....DOESN'T BARE THINKING ABOUT.

My husband and I have had really nice meals here, good breakfasts, steaks, curries and fish. We have always found the staff to be attentive even when they are under pressure. Always a good selection of ales, wine, cocktails,soft drinks and lovely coffee.

Visited for a family 18th lunch. Food came quickly and was hot and tasty. Efficient service, pub full but room felt spacious and not noisy. Clean, pleasant surroundings and toilets well serviced.

First of all, it's a wetherspoons, so don't expect too much.In actual fact it's (by far) the best pub in Kirkby and certainly far better than the offerings in Sutton & Hucknall.Some of the food offerings are better quality than what you'd find at the overpriced Hutt & Larch Farm and the value is excellent by comparison.Lovely quiet table in the corner by the front too is where we usually choose to eat.By night the pub is thriving and has certainly made good use of the building which prior to this was neglected.Overall the general standard of food is satisfactory, service is good and value is very good.

Reserved a table for rog's 50th for him and family guest. Food came quick to say it was a busy Saturday night. Food was lovely and service was good..just a shame we had to leave at 9 pm because we had one child and the lady bouncer said it in a lovely (not) manner..nice food and good service.

Went at lunchtime with the wife, I had the gammon and she had the pie and neither of us could complain about the food and drink(the theakstons mild is beautiful). The staff were all very friendly. We chose a table in the window which was bright and cheerful however further into the pub it was dark and dismal and the table were not being cleaned as quick as they probably should.

If you like undersized overcooked steak, loud and obnoxious diners, dirty tables and food all over the floor, this might be exactly what you're looking for.

Tried 5 times in 3 days to book a table for a special occasion and every time I was asked to phone back because they were too busy. None of people I spoke could be bothered. I dont understand where the problem is to make a 2 minute reservation.

This is a JD Wetherspoons pub so you know exactly what to expect, having said that the food is good, and the service is good. It can get very busy between 5pm & 6pm so you might have a bit of a wait, have a drink and chill

I went on a friday night for fish and chips. The bar staff were polite and helpful, there is a real fire producing a warm homely atmosphere.There are several seats and you can also reserve tables.The toilets were clean and hygienic.

I have been to the Regent multiple times over the last few years. The food is reasonable (a bit more garnish on the burgers would be nice- they feel a bit flat) considering it was a busy Saturday night. One lady at one table got upset with some folk on two other tables that she seemed to know and smashed a glass and a bottle. The staff were very slow to intervene. One young server said to me "It makes my job more interesting" which I thought lacked all compassion. It's good value, easily the best pub in the centre of Kirkby.

When this place first opened i was sceptical about it. As it happens I'm very open minded and i like this place. Ive dined here a few times and had a few drinks in the evening. The food here is fairly good and the prices are well matched. As with most Wetherspoon establishments it has a good range of drinks available. The room/bar is huge without music which gives it a good chatting ambience (it gives me the impression of what the Moulin Rouge must have been like in its heyday, obviouly without the CanCan girls and the rooms at the back.!!) The overall impression i get that it is well run and i hope it remains so.

This is your typical Wetherspoons, very cheap food and drink. The décor is to a very good standard, the staff are friendly enough and the food and drink is very cheap. Some of the food is a bit too cheap and not good quality but if you are careful what you order then you can get excellent value for money. Well worth a visit.

We go here once a week for breakfast, always quick service and decent cheap wetherspoons food. Tables don't seem to be cleared and cleaned very quick though but none the less we'll be back today!

Myself, my wife and another couple met up at The Regent for Steak Night. It was very busy but we managed to get a table. Took ages to place our food and drink order at the bar and then a very long time for the food to be served. This didn't matter to us as we were there for a chat but people on other tables were grumbling. When the food came it was very nice and for the price you pay you cannot complain. This is a typical Wetherspoons, you get what you pay for.

As with all "spoons" a lot depends on the time of day and which staff happen to be on duty.Myself and two friends had three different dishes today at around 2 in the afternoon. The food was better that the Hutt or Larch and a lot cheaper. With a bottle of wine and other drinks the total bill for surf and turf, lasagne and steak and kidney pie was £32. I think that has to be a bargain - and the service was excellent!!!

Where on earth do you start with such an establishment? We have had a number of bad experiences in this pub now and have realised that the apathy of the venue is far too overwhelming to ever go back again!The staff are indifferent, slow and lazy. They are more content to sit at the end of the bar doing what looks like folding napkins than serving waiting customers. They make absolutely no effort to serve waiting customers in turn and the entire pub is often in a massive state as tables are not being cleared. Servers were often returning to the kitchen without even bothering to collect plates on the way.God only knows what's going on in this establishment; however, in the meantime, while we all wait for them to get their act together, I would very strongly recommend that you give this place a very wide berth! There are plenty of other Wetherspoons in close proximity that will offer you at least an unacceptable level of customer service.

Nice veggie breakfast, service is ok as expected at a spoons. They missed out 1 item on both breakfasts. Which is poor. But nice filter coffee and Tropicana OJ. Price is reasonable. Could do with more beans. More than half a Tomato and 1 mushroom. Room for improvement...

This was my first visit to The Regent. It's quite a new pub and inside was really nice. It seemed quite relaxed inside.I wasn't drinking, but noticed how cheap the beer prices were. They had a real ale on called Stone Cutter which was only £1.29 a pint!We had food while we were there. Again the prices were pretty good. I had a Philly Steak Sandwich and it was alright.It's definitely one of the nicer Wetherspoons pubs. I think I will probably go again. I am looking forward to trying some those real ales.

One of the best Wetherspoons & doesn't feel like you are in a chain pub. Food is decent and the staff are happy to customised an order, eg no cucumber, which make a nice change.Been a few times for lunch & service speed is variable but always friendly. Filter coffee top ups are much appreciated.
