Place your order on the Wetherspoons app and receive a short measure of beer delivered to your table. Disappointing. ..

It’s not often I write reviews as I prefer to leave my feedback with the staff that are working but on this occasion I felt it was an exception. I’m in the area for the Stevenage town regeneration project and popped down to the cheapest pub I could find. After googling what pubs are in the area I was skeptical about going to this one due to its 3 star reviews but for the price of the beer and the service I received, I think this place deserves a good review. I ordered in the Wetherspoons app that you can download on your phone and they brought my carlsberg over before I could lock my phone! I’ve never been too keen on Wetherspoons but I’ll be returning to this one over the next 4 months I’m in the area

Visited tonight, no food, no kitchen, visited 2 weeks ago, stood at bar waiting to be served 20 minutes, ordered food took 45 minutes to come and on 4th attempt nearly got it right. Awful service! After tonight definitely won’t be going back again, the barmaid seemed quite proud with a smirk on her face telling people there’s no food, suppose it halves her workload. Management really needs to have a serious look at this pub, the tables are always full of glasses and plates (When the chef turns up). Staff seem very lazy and really slow behind the bar, more concerned getting app orders out.

Excellent service one of the best breakfasts that i had on bank Holiday Monday. The food was delicious, but greasy, great hash browns, bacon, sausage, egg and beans, for the price it was delicious, well done to the chef and staff 😀 👍 😋

Had a family afternoon here and after visiting back in October last year I’m very glad to say that it has improved. Friendly staff and the food eat good for pub grub. It’s nice to see staff smiling and being helpful. The general cleanliness of the bun is okay and could do with a refresh but all in all it’s a good pub. I will be back.

Love coming here as its great value for money. The food is good. Staff friendly. The place is always clean to a high standard, I notice one particular cleaner named Tony Parker, he's very persistent in his cleaning methods and very thorough in all he cleans. I see him each time I'm here which is on a regular basis and he works extremely hard to keep the restaurant looking its best and takes pride in all he does. Very hardworking and always on time, very nice person in general. Thankyou Tony for keeping up the good work x

Went to bar and asked for a bottle of Prosecco and 3 glasses, all 3 were stained and one had lipstick on it. I pointed this out to the young lady staff member and was shocked to hear her say”what do you expect, this is Wetherspoon “. This is a dreadful attitude to have, needless to say we won’t be going again! !

I only gave this utter sh*hole 1 because Trip Advisor doesn't allow 0. Once again the useless ineptitude of the staff didn't fail to disappoint... if, that is, what you are after is utter disappointment, with filthy tables, empty food plates and stacks of dirty glasses everywhere. Needless to say, we walked in amd walked out. I can't even be bothered to elaborate more on the above, as clearly, no-one is listening.

Utterly awful experience. Every time we come here, the staff are rude, obnoxious, lazy, ignorant and more interested in chatting to each other in the entrance to the kitchen than doing such things as, clearing glasses (both from the tables and from the never ending smashathon at the end of the bar), serving customers (let alone actually knowing who was next!), or cleaning tables. This afternoon's visit was made particularly unpleasant by the sheer volume and outright aggressiveness of the male staff members towards each other and any member of the public who dared to question why there was only one person serving, whilst 4 more proceeded to break kore glasses than they cleaned and find it highly amusing! Sadly, it's no better when the 'management' are here, in fact, it seems to then just become a disorganised hive of people doing their best to look busy whilst doing absolutely nothing. We drink in many Wetherspoons, both within the county and further afield, and don't have this problem anywhere else. How can 1 pub consistently get it so very wrong? I have worked in hospitality and am pretty sure, given the whole Wetherspoons ethos, that absolutely nothing will be done to correct this. Sad really because, as our local Wetherpsoons, if we want the cheap drinks, this is the only option, and it used to be a nice place to come.

Full disclosure, I didn't want to go here in the first place due to their political stance, but we did. Food was as youd expect, drinks were recently price too but the whole night was marred by a frankly confusing exchange where staff accused us not once but twice of throwing up in a cup, even though it was the table next to us being unruly. We even had a very weird exchange where the waitress comes over and said that her and her colleagues felt it was best that our table was cut off, even though - having been a pub GM and the designated driver - there was absolutely no reason to. Upon asking what the reason was, we were again accused of throwing up in cups which is honestly such a bizarre accusation you'd hope the person saying it was 100% sure before they threw that out. Utterly wrong, utterly embarrassing and another marker why Wetherspoons has the bad reputation it does. Similar to many other reviews, will not be returning.

Went to this pub today for a meal with friends, the bar was busy, VERY understaffed, people queuing up for ages to get served. Staff not friendly, with a couldn’t care less attitude. Food was cooked and left under a light to go cold before it was taken out to customers. Staff standing to chat to each other whilst delivering food. So food going cold till they deigned to deliver it. Feel this place needs a new decent Manager who knows what they are doing, and motivating their staff to do a better proper job. Staff certainly need retraining in customer relations, and Manager also needs replacing if that’s the best service they can offer.

This is a fairly average Wetherspoons on Stevenage Old Town High Street. Have had a couple of meals here over the years and it is average, food is ok, beer is ok, prices were ok but are now going up. Plenty of parking out the front or rear in a small car park opposite. Clientele vary from the drunk and drugged to older folk reading the paper and everything in between. Have been to both better and worse Wetherspoons, would probably return for a cheap beer and meal.

My husband and I like to treat ourselves to a breakfast on a Friday morning before starting work. Weatherspoon pubs are known as being cheap and cheerful so a little dubious of what the quality would be like. We were pleasantly surprised. The price was very reasonable, a varied range of choices on the menu, service was quick and most importantly the food was great. There were lots of clean tables with menu’s newspapers and even a Weatherspoons magazine (which was very interesting!) I would definitely recommend The Standing Order, in Stevenage Old Town for breakfast.

Been here many times with the ladies, up to 12 of us, only 7 on this visit 13th September, was surprised how empty it was, ordered food & drink no problem, 1st glass of wine was cloudy, told by staff that’s because it’s cold & out the pump 😏, had a few sips but left most of it. Ordered chicken burger, chicken was tough & overcooked, eventually when staff came to check all was ok I mentioned this but staff member replied with ( oh ), next mentioned it much later when table was being cleared, a staff member took it to kitchen, I was told they couldn’t do anything about it as I’d eaten to much ( of course I’d eaten the chips, I was hungry) see pics. Needless to say our ladies won’t be revisiting. We now know why the place was empty 🤨

I haven’t been for a few years but it’s certainly gone down hill. Although cheap, the food was awful. Dry, cheap products. They were short of condiments and the tables weren’t being cleaned between customers. Considering we’re just out of a pandemic, this is pretty poor. This was a Saturday lunch time. On a plus side, the food did come out fairly fast.

Was out for a friend's birthday and came here as they advertise closing at 12. We were there from just after 11 having been for a curry and had already been drinking there & yet yet trying to get another drink at 11.45 were told they were closed despite the fact they had just served a table with drinks and in some instances these people had doubled up on their drinks ... when talking to Sophie (manageress) she said that despite what time it says on the door and the fact they had just served others ... she could shut whenever she liked for the mental health of her staff .... Seriously .... trying to play that card in those circumstances when it was clear she just wanted to clear the pub .... Don't advertise 12 if you want to shut earlier, and if it affects you or your staffs mental health serving for another 15 minutes, then maybe you should consider a change of job.

Attended weatherspoons today with friends. When we arrived we found out today the ordering app didnt work. We then found out when trying to order food that the kitchen was closed due to lack of electricity. There was no signs anywhere telling us this and whole point was to come to eat food. Staff didn't seem to care and felt like talking to them was like getting blood out of a stone..

Ordered from the app, 2 Pepsis arrive first pretty quick, one is from a nearly empty machine so tastes more like water. Waited 40 minutes for the meal, husband had to go down and ask when it would arrive and get a replacement drink as we hadn't had anyone come towards us while we waited. Seemed as if only one waitress was working the while time we were there. I ordered gammon with eggs, eggs were cold and over cooked. Gammon was tough and overcooked, could barely get through it with a steak knife and tasted as if someone had spilt a box of salt on it (I know gammon is normally quite salty, this was more than it should have been). Grilled mushroom was soggy and cold, grilled tomato was burned on the outside and cold inside. I couldn't finish the meal, left most it.

We visit this pub on a regular basis but have always sat at the front of the pub, especially in the winter when the lovely fire is burning. Always thought that this pub being in the Olld Town was something special. Well, after visiting Lister Hospital in June 2018 for an appointment, being late afternoon, couldn’t decide whether to have pie and mash or something to eat at The Standing Order. Well we both decided on the pub choice, it was a very hot day, didn’t want to sit outside so we sat in one of the booths, closest one to the bar. My husband ordered our meal and a coffee each and we sat there waiting for our meal. On looking down at the seating it was covered in ground in food, grease etc etc. bearing in mind I was wearing white trousers at the time. I couldn’t eat my meal because of the condition of the seats, so we left. When I got home I complained to John Hutson at Head Office who then passed it to Nicola Eyres, Customer Services who then passed it on to Bradley P1031 at The Standing Order. I received from Bradley a very nice letter, apologising for the condition of the upholstery and if I sent him my address etc he would reimburse myself and my husband a free meal. I sent him the details but did not hear anything. I telephoned him after the Cup Final and he said I haven’t forgotten you, still waiting three weeks later. I know the meals are cheap, but I feel that it’s the principle of the matter.

This is a very busy place on a Saturday and Sunday lunch time, if you wish to have a meal, its advisable to book, the food is good, you order your food at the bar and pay, then its brought to your table.

Decent little pub to take friends to. I've been in here at weekends usually, but it's always a good call for a nice gin & tonic.

Fantastic price for a standard breakfast but the meal was hardly cooked. The tomato was freezing cold and the rest was only warm and not very tasty. The egg was the tiniest I have seen in a long time. There were no sweeteners available in the whole pub (so I was told). I suppose it wasn't too bad for the price though. No fixed slice available, either!! Come on, Tim Martin you are my Brexit hero, you can do better. Why don't you charge an extra pound and use decent ingredients?

The meal was cold, they forgot the vegetables. There was a very big difference between the photo and meal but I'm not Michael Douglas and not started shooting... The fork and knife was VERY dirty. I asked for a change and got a much more cleaner but it was still dirty. Huge problem of hygiene. The was very friendly.

We've been to many Wetherspoons pubs and this is only just average. Nobody seems to be clearing used plates from tables so the impression is a bit scruffy. I had a steak and kidney pudding which did not have much meat and was overcooked.

First time visiting here and initial impression was good. Ordered an adult meal and child’s chicken breast burger meal. Asked for the fruit pack that comes with the children’s meal but told they had run out! When the meal came out it was on the tiniest plate with the food right on the edge and told “sorry we’ve run out of children’s plates”, so I suggested putting it on an adults plate which she agreed and went and changed. Second time the meal came then realised it was the chicken breast but with no burger bun, so again mentioned this.

Being a Wetherspoons there are few surprises here but this pub in Old Stevenage is head and shoulders over the one in the main town. Worth the walk as you actually get hot food here and service is friendly and quick. Worth a stop.

We popped in here for a few drinks after a lovely meal near bye. Cheap rounds and pleasant sitting outside in the lovely sun which made an appearance. Vast selection of drinks and ales, and generally staff are competent. Although serving bottles of tonic water that where hot (not luke warm) is a big no no and when questioning this, it seemed to be acceptable. As I say some staff where great and on the ball, but others seem to be in a world of their own and fixated on preening themselves and getting the cash across the bar.

Often pop in to catch up with friends after work for one drink. It's cheap, fairly clean but always busy. It's a whetherspoons pub, so most people know what to expect, no music, sports channels etc. Toilets always appear dirty or do not flush though

Reasonably priced food and drink several menu Items frequently unavailable. The poor organisation let's this establishment down. Better run and good customer focused in the old town

Good points first - the food and drink prices are very reasonable. Food deals which include a drink are excellent. I had a really lovely burger with added pastrami which came with lovely fries, onion rings etc etc., plus a glass of wine all at less than £8 - brilliant. Food was fast to arrive and very very nicely cooked. Couldn't fault it. Not so good - terrible disorganised bar - no queueing system when busy so its a case of who waves or shouts loudest and reliant on the bar staff even noticing you to be able to get served. Food orders have to be placed at the bar so it's just a question of if you can get noticed and get someone to take your order. The last time we went there it wasn't hugely busy but it took me a full 10 mins to catch the attention of a member of bar staff - hopeless system. When it's really busy it's a real fight to catch their eye even if waving a £20 note in their faces. Customers get served without any order so some get served quick if their face fits and others wait and wait and wait. Might be better if food orders could be taken at a different till. Having said that, once the order was placed the food arrived quickly. They have an app which you could download to order from your table - couldn't get it to work as the wifi kept dropping!Such a shame - the location is good, the décor and garden are good, the food is good and the drinks reasonably priced but the service is SO disorganised!

The food was reasonable, the staff very friendly although not that attentive. Disappointed with vegetarian options very limited and then two of them were unavailable. We were two couples, grandparents and grandchildren, eating before a show. The food no better than ‘pub-grub’, chicken burger very dry, other food passable, drinks ordinary. Would possibly go again, if going to a show, but their are many other eateries within walking distance or short drive, so it would be dependant on the weather. We booked and were surprised how few people were in there, further: trying to book a table is very difficult, so I certainly would not bother going through that drama again.

The free monkey nuts were nice. The food tasted okay but when I unwrapped my burger it looked like it had been run over. The fries were nice but nothing exciting. All in all, very poor value for money.

Have been to TGI’s many times in the past but not for a number of years. Was shocked when I saw the price of the dishes on the menu, very expensive compared to other restaurants. Was even more shocked when the dishes arrived & saw the portion sizes. They certainly do not justify the prices! Service - apart from being shown to our seat & delivered food, there wasn’t any. Food - was in all honesty terrible. Luke warm & lacked any real flavour. To top it all off my son was sick later that evening so I now question if his chicken was actually cooked!! Perhaps someone from TGI’s should take a moment to read the reviews as they are not good. I will never be returning.
