Went into Wetherspoons in Kilmarnock today with my son for breakfast. My son has learning difficulties and I am trying to promote his independence and self esteem so I sent to the bar to order breakfast. He returned to the table a couple of moments later visibly upset. He told me the man behind the bar refused to serve him and told him he had too much to drink. My son was 100% sober. I went to the bar to confront the barman and got a muted apology, Wetherspoons need to train their employees properly as this is not only detrimental to vulnerable peoples self esteem but verges on discrimination. Needless to say myself, friends and family will not be back

Absolutley shocking service. Most of the staff avoid giving you eye contact. Waited 40 mins for a glass of iced water, my mum bad to go to the bar to ask for it and was ignored multiple times. She then shouted to the young blonde barmaid who we first asked for the water from. She grabbed a glass filled it, sat it down and walked away. No smile, no apology, nothing!! She needs some serious customer service training her face was tripping her. My daughter ordered kids pasta, it was so dry and rock hard, not even edible. I went to the bar with it and again wasn't even given eye contact. I ended up shouting one of the food servers who replaced it. Multiple members of staff were walking around the floor and not one cleared our table when the food was finished, they just looked away and kept walking. A waiter then proceeded to bring out the 2 desserts that were ordered for my kids and tried to squeeze them on to an already full table. I did say to him maybe clear the plates first. The only time I have had a positive experience here is when it's quiet. They cannot cope with it being busy. And seriously get some friendlier front of house staff. If that's the face of your establishment this won't be the only bad review yous receive.

Visited my local spoons today for lunch with a colleague. Got three small pizzas on the £14.95 small plate deal. Excellent value for money. We took advantage of the lovely weather and sat outside in the beer garden. Could have been easily mistaken for a lovely European city in summer. Great atmosphere. The staff were lovely and chatty. Even cracked a few jokes. It was quite busy on Monday lunchtime. Great to see the town busy z The food was great value for money. The pizzas are full of flavour.

One of the best Wetherspoons to visit around this area. They have a larger menu than other sites such as Ayr, with new food and drink menu items. Even when busy on a Friday night service is always quick. Food tastes great here, you always know you can expect excellent service. Drinks come quick too. Great atmosphere, a great place to come for drinks or food. Will visit here again.

I am saddened to say that I am embarrassed for the manager, he has created a harmful environment. Threatened to kick us out while we weren’t doing anything and were waiting on the main menu to start.

It’s got to be one of the most run down places in the area. Tables, seats carpet toilets are disgusting. Bar service is awful. My wife and I visit several Wetherspoons throughout the country.

I agree with previous comment, Mr. Hill; my experience at wetherspoons could have been better if I didnt have to sit all wrapped up. Even more annoying was the fact that where I was seated had an air conditioning unit above us blowing cool air. We did mention this to a staff member who said she would look into this but it remained on, therefore we had no option but to move to another seat. We noticed that the other customers in this area also having taken their outdoor jackets off, soon were putting them back on and some of them also moved to other seats and some even left the pub with their drinks unfinished. Surely, this issue could be rectified to maintain your existing customers and attract new customers.

You know what you're getting with Wetherspoons. Beers are great value, breakfasts too. Tim Martin was a big voice on Brexit, so he must take his share of the blame for the damage to the country......but everyone should be able to go for a beer that doesn't cost them £6.50.

Visited with wife for breakfast today. It was reasonably busy, and we struggled to find a clean table to sit at. Order through the App which was reasonably simple & painless. Food came out within 10 minutes which was pleasing. Small Scottish breakfast for me with added haggis. Beans had been heated more times than the earth. Tattie scone overcooked, haggis lukewarm as was the egg. Bacon was okay and the black pudding could have smashed windows. Ordered a coffee/hot chocolate on App, which when hot chocolate was dispensed from the machine was hot milk with sprinkles on top. Took it to the bar to ask for another mug so I could try another machine. Server was abrupt and rude, stating both machines weren’t working right so I couldn’t have one. ‘What ye wantin’ instead?” With a torn faced look wasn’t the best response either. I politely declined an alternative as I had also ordered an apple juice. No refund offered. Might it have been an idea for the other server to tell people when dropping mugs at the table that the hot chocolate wasn’t working? They were clearly aware of it. Wetherspoons usually do a much better job as a chain but this was really below par.

Was in Weatherspoons on wednesdayand had the small fish and chips with peas. The fish was ok taste wise but if it was much smaller it would be a fish finger. The tea was so weak you would have to put more than one tea bag in the cup. Had seen a review on weatherspoons pubs in england and the small fish that was ordered was a lot bigger than mine. Perhaps you get a better deal in england. aFor much the same price (£7) Morrisons supermarket diner would give you a better meal and i hate saying that. I did have a free drink with the fish meal but indirectly i paid for my pint. Morrisons give you a larger supper but no pint.

A group of 7 went to Wetherspoons Kilmarnock for dinner on a Sunday evening. The food was good, everyone enjoyed their meal, extremely unusual for 7 people to enjoy their meal and no complaints! There is a good selection of vegetarian food, very rare in any eateries! I suggest the macaroni cheese and chips for vegetarians as it’s always good. Although the Mediterranean salad is good as well and I think it’s also suitable for Vegans. You don’t have to wait ages for the food to arrive, unlike some places, where It takes so long you just feel like going home and getting a takeaway! The staff are always pleasant. The tables are not squashed up to each other , a big bonus. The prices are very good as well, what’s not to like? I go in for lunch quite often and I can recommend wholeheartedly.

Have eaten a few times here over the last year. Visited again this week and was disappointed at the portion sizes that have clearly shrunk. We overheard the table beside us comment too. I’d rather be charged a couple of quid extra for the same portion size rather than see them shrink and keep the prices. The chicken Caesar salad look like a starter portion and the Tablet Sundae comes a with a really long spoon but a very shallow dish. Strange decisions have been made by management! Staff were very friendly, though.

We were there as a birthday treat for afternoon tea. Lovely welcome on arrival and straight to our table in the glasshouse. Waitress brought water and asked for our order. We had to ask if this was for tea choice. Food arrived then our tea. We were advised what the sandwiches were. The Glasshouse was stifling hot and very very uncomfortable. Ate our sandwiches and sausage roll and they were lovely. I had to put my pocket fan on the table as I was dripping with sweat due to the heat and felt fatigued and very uncomfortable. One coronation chicken sandwich had one piece of chicken in it. Ate our scones and they were lovely. Went for the cakes and the fillings in the meringue and panna cotta were liquid. We didn't try the other two cakes as the liquid panna cotta had made us feel a bit queasy. No one checked if we were OK or wanted more drinks. We left as we were being invaded by two wasps plus I was soaked through with sweat from the heat and had had enough. No fans or air conditioning just the back door was open where we were seated. Two other tables of guests were also complaining about the heat to us when we were there but staff were nowhere to be seen. Went to pay and had to hunt someone down to do so. We weren't asked about or experience so let the lady know about the melted food, inability to eat the remaining cakes and wasps, plus the stifling heat. She never apologised or offered to resolve the issue - we are very very disappointed. Still waiting on a reply from the Glasshouse after 8 days after contacting them, but nothing has been issued yet.
