Great value for food and drinks But annoying that I asked for a double absolute and received a vanilla absolute which I didn't ask for So I spoke to the server who intern spoke to the manageress who refused to replace the drink or offer a refund as they had no absolute vodka left only vanilla So I'm a mind reader as well I meant to know u only had vanilla Shocking customer service

I went in today and got my table ready to order food, I was waiting at the bar and next to be served as there was only 1 other at the bar... 1 person was serving, 1 was putting glasses away, it was around 2.30pm, the lady that was putting away glasses then served a lady who appeared, even though I was next, the lady then starts taking orders for everyone else behind her, pint after pint... I tune around and now my table gas been taken as me being served was taking far too long.. . I worked for spoons for 4 years, and never does anyone I worked with ignore people at the bar, no acknowledgement or anything, just blatantly ignore me and serve your regulars it's OK, because you just lost a customer... goto the peacock, food is better and you get served whether regulars or not

What’s up with the servers here? Their attitude is disgraceful lately. Feels like they’re having a bad day and they’re taking it out on the customer. I don’t expect to be given attitude when I’m not being out of line. You need to step up your game Wetherspoon.

Young Benjamin and the seasoned Jackaran delivered impeccable service on this day, today, which is known as Monday the 11th of December (in the Gregorian calendar). These virile young men helped both me and my life partner navigate the proverbial trenches of the wetherspoons experience, truly a shining beacon of light in these dark dark times. A conversation on the goat economy after a long day, simsideous tales that titilate the essence of our very being. These are but a few of the many experiences you will experience at the bar of Roboto Pocketcock 6/9 would recommend for furries and enbys alike, alongside classic bitter drinkers. Love you guys <3 sub

paid for drinks, sat down, had some food that was placed on the table that wasnt ours. before we could let the staff know, my mate had touched one of the chicken wings. knowing it couldnt be served after that, we ate some to prevent food waste. a lady in a blue dress came and took them off us, speaking to us in a very rude manner. I stood up to start going toilet when it feels like she intentionally tried to get in my way and even pushed a plate into my back walking past.

We were served by Sam this past Saturday (26/08/23) and after accidentally putting the wrong table number on our order via the app, he searched the whole pub to find us and then delivered our food. He was very attentive, friendly and the food was spot on. Second time here and we have been very pleased both times.

Used to love the pocock but now it's getting really shabby. Gammon steak is more like bacon (thin), only sauce they have is pretty much ketchup, don't bother to cut your pizza and the normal steak is that tough it asked me for a fight outside. Will not be coming here for food anymore unless some serious changes are made

RIP wetherspoons. Going with your family now stopping warming up your baby food. Fair enough "company policy". Then go and grab some crayons none, fair enough no one orde in. Then the food comes and you can count 12 chips as a side of a burger lol similar in you fish and chips!! You tell your waiter to call the manager TWICE to show your plate, no one ever comes and when you realise the guy is in is brake having dinner! 🤣🤣 amateur service! Poor costumer service not family friendly under trained staff! But not all is bad, as a regular if you want to go on a piss I recommend! They can take good care of pissed heads! That's easy pint full pint empty! So just do that close the kitchen and handle the piss heads, just don't take the piss... REST IN PEACE

Spoons is cheap and cheerful and you get what you pay for. BUT this Spoons is grim. Dirty from top to bottom. Everything is sticky, the tables are dirty and I don’t think the carpet has been cleaned since 1971. The pictures on the wall have food spattered on them and the toilets are grim. The best thing about this place is the door on the way out.

Terrible service and food I’ve been to the pocock for food a few times over the years and it’s always been ok. Yesterday we visited as a family and I’ve got to say the food was awful. Badly presented. I ordered lasagna and got a massive plate with a small unappealing microwaved piece of lasagna on the side of the plate!!! Nothing else!!! I engaged with 2 members of staff who were both quite unfriendly and unwelcoming. The service was shocking. Some basic health and safety issues need to be addressed. The gormless waiter even passed a boiling hot plate to a child. He must have known it was hot as he had an oven glove on!!!! No warning. I mentioned it to him and he just stared at me with no response. Completely shocked me. Most of the many tables were sticky and full of empty plates. I was given the wrong order and told, quite abruptly, by the other rude member of staff that’s what I’d ordered! The table behind said it was theirs and she just took it back and gave it to them with no acknowledgment of her rudeness. The whole place looked very messy and tired. I probably will find myself a new establishment. Such a shame coz it’s used to be a lovely place to get a cheap decent meal.

A lovely pub just a short walk from the station. There are a number of levels throughout including an upstairs level around a hanging artwork. This pub has entrances off two streets: Stone Street and Windmill Street. The decor is very much the usual dark wood and with the usual spoons seating options. The staff were lovely and the pub was clean and tidy when we were there. The Guinness was excellent as was the Doom Bar - although we did have a bit of a wait for them.

This place is busy on the bottom floor all the time. The drinks are cheap and the service is fast. If you get your laptop out it is faster still. It is a place for family meals, people catching up, single women to feel safe. The food is still adorable which is great. I like the stain glass windows. It is an old building that has turn into a pub . It has kept the fetchers which is respectful and cool. The staff are lovely and the loos are clean.
