Breakfasts are lovely. Vegetarian breakfast is particularly good. Baked beans are not always very hot, but other than that, it is fine. Traditional breakfast and vegetarian breakfasts are very affordable. Refillable hot drinks make it very cost-effective. Good service and staff very friendly and helpful. It is kept very clean both inside and out.

We had a reasonable experience. Our table was dirty when we arrived and a member of staff said they would clean it but never did, I ended up removing empty glasses and cleaning up a spillage. Food is fairly priced and decent, as per Wetherspons

One of the more unusual spoons, despite the fact that most are in buildings with interesting histories. The food and drink is standard spoons fare. Mostly very good and all good value. This particular building is a great place to visit due to the interior - it used to be a Methodist church. It has retained much of the church feel, minus the pews. They've even kept some organ pipes. A great place to visit for the unique interior for a spoons.

Can be hit and miss here in terms of atmosphere, service and quality. Sometimes it's pleasant and buzzing - next it's a dive, grubby, rammed with antisocial behaviour resulting with police visiting to escort people out. Patrons all smoke outside by the steps so you get a good old waft when walking in or out of the building. Probably the cheapest drinks in town as you would expect from many spoons.

Was in Folkestone for the weekend and visited Spoons. OMG what a lovely venue, big church converted into Spoons. It's located in the city centre. Building front is like a museum or art gallery. Very nice stain glass windows and beautiful ceiling art work and like a paint hall. Staff were very friendly. Not a bad serve. A lot of local ales on tap. Every corner of this building was classy. Plenty of seats in main hall and upper in gallery. Must visit place to enjoy a pint and interior.

No disabled access, toilets are downstairs also. Came here with my family for our dinner and almost every dish was wrong apart from the pizza, missing sausages, missing mushrooms, missing paid sauces from two meals and there was chicken in with the scampi! Thank goodness she's not a pescetarian. 3 requests to wait staff for missing items. The food was still enjoyable and after we finished we went and spoke with a manager who was the saving grace, offering a round of drinks or partial refund for all of the missing items. They were helpful and apologetic so I think 4 stars is fair solely due to the managers handling of the situation.

Staff are the usual overworked and underpaid mostly very happy people. Greeted with smiles all round but you could tell even with the building on half full they were very busy between them. Nice to see the boss mucking in as they should and the guys are the bar we're lovely. Building is insane, old, pretty, and absolutely bursting with character. Place was well laid out and going upstairs wasn't too much of a hassle with the nice shallow big steps. Really nice to sit up top and organised into booths. Food was as you'd expect, cheap and tasty. Could do with a bit more effort from the kitchen though, didn't look like the effort appeared on the place. Admittedly steak and mash on their own are harder to present, but it did look like it'd be thrown and caught from across the room. Usual 'Spoons report, but defo the higher end of the multi chain Again , A+ to the staff 👍

Interesting interior that looked like an old church. We wanted to grab a light dinner after a day visiting the beach. We had the chicken curry and some wings. Price was unbeatable. Helpful servers. Clean washrooms. The only thing that bothered me was the table. It was sticky and seemed like it was not cleaned properly. But with that price in mind, I was not expecting much.

the food was edible (just) but dreadful. presentation was poor (especially the kids menu food) and the menu did not match (burger just completely missed the mark) - tasted awful. It was also the most filthy place I’ve ever eaten, it needs a jolly good clean. Why would you not clean it? It’s a lovely building, but it’s obviously run by a complete crack head.

Lovely day was there from lunch time apart from manager who was very rude when my girlfriend went down stairs to use the facilities. I went to order some food the she said she could not serve my girlfriend who she claimed she was wobbly while she watched her go down the stairs to the toilet which was opposite the toilet. I spoke to the manager that she was okay and had vertigo and clearly doesn't understand that was a medical condition terrible service and customer service and we had been there for the day and repeat customer would expect better treatment.

This is one of the prettiest Wetherspoons I’ve visited. As a Londoner, unfortunately, Wetherspoons don’t have a good reputation. But I feel like it can't always be applied to the branches outside London. The place was a church in the past and they turned into a pub. The decor is absolutely beautiful and I could see that it is loved by locals. Obviously you won’t be able to expect any special food or services, but it is worth popping in and have a pint, if you are visiting Folkestone.

I popped in today with my 5 year old son who was desperate to use the toilet, as well as being heavily pregnant myself. As I was approaching the toilets, the bloke instantly spoke to me rudely and said where are you going, I replied saying my son desperately needed a wee, he replied - ain't you going to ask first in such a bad manner! His whole attitude to the situation was a disgrace! I will not be spending my money in this place ever again!
