Seems to be an ongoing issue when ordering fruit, something to be mindful of if ordering breakfast with fruit attached

I mainly use Thorns Farm for a cup of tea and meeting my friend on a Thursday .Occasionally I will have their delicious breakfast or , equally delicious,their ham,egg and chips .What I most love about Spoons,is that women, like me can go in there on their own,and chill out with a phone or book and a cuppa,and not feel self conscious or pressurised in any way

Had a disappointing experience at the pub. Despite ordering both drinks and food from their kitchen, they asked us to leave because we brought a Happy Meal for our child with a special condition who doesn't eat their menu items. Ridiculous policy, and the lack of understanding left a sour taste in our mouths.

The food was great, but because one of us forgot out ID (despite all the rest of us being 20 or older), one of the younger female managers was incredibly rude to us and was making it uncomfortable for us to enjoy our meals while spying on us the whole time. Our night was ruined because she couldn't help but act all authoritarian on us. However, the older lady who was primarily serving us was lovely and apologised for her behaviour, so kudos to her for picking up the pieces for us.

Been in here once before only for a coffee was very busy ... this time had some food but when we sat down the table was filled with plates and empty glasses from previous eaters ... someone came to take the plates but didn't come back to get rest of glasses and anything else left on the table ... being in there previously I had seen other customers get their own knives and forks so I grabbed some on the way back from ordering to be told by a very abrupt young chap it's not what we do here !!!!!I told him I've seen other people get their own so I thought that's how it worked ... he said to kindly not do it next time !!! I won't !!!

The food is good, but the beer is not brilliant,it is rather mainstream. I have been a member of camra for 10 years and there are better pubs. I have spoken to a bar manager and have given a few pointers in how to improve the ales. They seem to have taken my advice, they have had some interesting beers recently. There have some great beers, but the older cliental, don't stray from what they know.

Another day , another Spoons,getting to be a habit! Only a coffee run this time so no big surprise, cheap, hot and available. Not my favourite Spoons but the only one in Yate so it was fine for what it is.Outside area very clean and well laid out, the staff a little slow l opine when waiting in line ( no bad poetry intended here) but a minor issue and it's noticed that they all do their respected roles with courtesy and efficiency.l will obviously use it again as any issues are minor and l am only trying to give a balanced review here.We would be a poorer community if we didn't have a Spoons conveniently near,although my nearest one is approximately 4 miles away, my personal cross to bear.

You get what you expect. Yate has been lacking a pub close to the Shopping Centre since the White Lion closed. It's not the Ritz but in "Spoons" tradition, its affordable drinks and decent food. Also with tradition the toilets are an endless walk up two flights on stairs. Cannot fault the staff, always go out of the way to provide customer service.

I'm not going to lie, this is where I get my favourite pizza. I am in no way easy to please when it comes to food, (which is hard to believe when I say my favourite pizza is from spoons). The spicy meat pizza is on the border of perfection, the size could be a little bigger, but on my less hungry days, it's perfect. On top of that, there is a lady here who has gone above and beyond. Taking time to help us out to move to a bigger table so our baby would be more comfortable.

You know what to expect from 'Spoons but I was a little anxious about a post Xmas visit for breakfast on 27th Dec. Needn't have been. Coffee cups arrived within 3 minutes of ordering via the app, six breakfasts, including my own excellent Eggs Benedict, all arrived just 5 minutes later. Toilets and dining area all very clean. Staff busy, diligent and still with time for a smile.

Usual spoons food and drink, loud bustling atmosphere as is to be expected. Only due to being in Yate....you have the weird webbed feet locals there. Probably the best cooked steak I've had in a Wetherspoon to be honest; really tender, good griddle marks and exactly the level of rare that I enjoy at home. Usually it's one end of the scale or the other in chain pubs ....either too rare or too over. Keep it up chef

The ease of being able to order on the app is a bonus and the food is always spot on and of good standard, well cooked and what you would expect from a wetherspoons. Food is really good value for the good quality they provide. The inside is kept clean and well maintained and having the outside eating/drinking area is handy.

Great prices on the drinks. Food service could be much better. The food flys out too quick in my opinion. We were a table of 5 and three of us had issues with out meals. Wrong items / Lacking something etc. Slow it down a tab and make sure each dish is correct. Other than that . It's a Wetherspoons. You get what you pay for don't ya 😜

There are, arguably, two reasons to visit Downend. One is on a summer’s afternoon to watch Downend CC play cricket with the bar in full swing and plenty of boundaries being scored as the ground is relatively small; the other is to pay a visit to Melanie’s Kitchen. This delicatessen shop is a positive cornucopia of cheeses, bakery items, biscuits, chutneys, artisan breads etc etc. The man who serves at the cheese counter (who I assume is not Melanie!) is a fountain of knowledge on local cheeses and knows all of the local cheese producers, when their cheeses are at their best and is happy to provide advice to ensure that you will leave well satisfied having enjoyed a sensory and culinary experience second to none. It’s full marks from me.

Food was ok, not great just ok, tasted a little bland, microwaved pie, soggy overcooked fish, not very hot, quick service but the real issue is the staff having their own conversations going and customers feeling like they're in the way, 2nd time I've been in in 6 months, now I remember why. Young staff working in the "plaice" now (sorry), nothing wrong in that but they do need to converse more with their customers in a meet and greet aspect (and not leave people standing there) and not just with each other. I tried twice this year but I don't think I'll be back for a third
