Watchmakers in Knowsley

We regularly call in for a drink or two when passing through Prescot of a weekend. There is generally a lot of families, a good atmosphere and the staff are very friendly. The beers are kept well and the bottles in the fridge are always cold.

We go there most Thursday’s and Luke who works there is so friendly. He always makes us feel welcome. He’s a blessing to your pub.

Really busy at 5.30pm. Disappointed that they had no Abbot Ale and no Doom Bar, surely their signature low-cost pints. Had a decent curry and fish n Chips with ultra fast service. Couples were using downstairs disabled loo rather openly.

Regular here and on the whole food ok and value for money! However this night I ordered the katsu chicken and it was vile! Just an overcooked breast of chicken horrible chippy curry and boiled rice ugh

Great breakfast as always. Staff friendly and always make you feel welcome App is easy to use aswell and food was sent quickly and hot and fresh

Wetherspoons is what it is. A standard blueprint. This place however is constantly behind in cleaning tables, and for a large facility always has one of only two drinks machines playing up, so we spend most of our family time with someone stood waiting in a line.

After a long wait, grilled chicken was served cold. It was returned and replaced and this time the chips were scaldingly hot but the grilled chicken still only warm. This branch clearly has little understanding of how to properly heat food even when it is pointed out to them. Best avoided.

Friday early evening and it was a bear pit but we needed sustenance before the theatre and there were few places open so we ordered a bottle of Sauvignon and two burgers with Brie and pigs in blankets. The wine arrived and we were asked if we wanted glasses - Sherlock Holmes had nothing on this guy!! The burgers arrived with cutlery wrapped in one napkin and we had to ask where the condiments were. The salt came in in one large plastic dispenser that you would find in a kitchen. The second burger had salad hiding under it, three small pieces of onion and a couple of wilted leaves, the Brie was on the top burger but never melted, the bun was stale but we did get two pigs in blankets that were hot. Never again!!

Ordered the new lemon chicken meal ith spicy rice coleslaw chips andside salad and i was given just chicken and chips, there was no coleslaw left and no side salad, just plain old chicken and chips with a spicy salt on chips. I have been here lots of times and was shocked after not been this year, dirty filthy place, slovenly waitress who left dishes on table and walked past many times, flies wer flying around the table, meal was vile and disgusting and told them and was offered a fre dessert....no thnk you i dont eat dessert, i wasnt complaining for a freebie, full of drunken old men smoking, ill never come here again and would not recommend it for anyone either, revamp is needed and new caring staff need to be employed.

Visiting family in Prescot, and suggested to meet up at the watch maker. Arrived just after 4.30pm Thursday 26th. Plenty of tables, available.Table we sat as was clean. Ordered drinks via the app, which arrived quickly. Just after 5pm, pub started to get busy, and we decided to order food. However the wifi failed to connect, so had to go to the bar to place my order. A lot of other people having to do the same. Staff admitted wifi a bit hit and miss around the building. Food was delivered again quickly to our table and we had no complaints about our food or service provided. Please Tim, get the wifi sorted, so we can continue to use this excellent app.

Sat down, table had been cleared but not cleaned. Ordered on the app, drinks and food all delivered at the same time. 1.5 pints ordered, both as flat as each other, terrible taste. Food was okay but definitely ruined by the smokers who stood at the front door in the no smoking area smoking. You could see the smoke wafting in but none of the staff did anything about it. The whole pub was like a big clock had been turned back 40 years, on par with a working mans club from the 1980’s. Not a very family friendly pub which we have come to expect of JD Wetherspoons.

I was visiting a friend that's moved to the area, we came here for breakfast as Wetherspoons is our usual go to place at home but this breakfast was such a let down. We checked in and ordered on the app. Drinks and cutlery arrived which the server took back as she noticed they were dirty. She replaced them with another set of dirty cutlery which we ended up cleaning ourselves with antibacterial wipes I had in my handbag. Breakfast arrived and the standard were terrible, my toast was burnt but my friends was pale, my beans were cold, sausages inedible. I left a lot of it. We won't be back.

Awful food, scruffy dirty restaurant & gangs of drunks outside & inside mostly middle aged men using foul language.

Can you give me feed back please on when The Watchmaker will have a refurb. With The Shakepeare Theatre opening next year, it could really do with one.

Staff are like police, made to feel awkward and uncomfortable, forced to hurry up and buy a meal (meal was crap). Husband could not order chips (not a substantial meal), who are they to say what constitutes a meal. Awful experience do not go there.

Visited this pub with the wife. All I can say is awful place , staff are abrupt ,surly and seem to want to empty the place. Asked if I could have a drink before picking food was told in no uncertain terms that this was not allowed. When asked why could give no explanation and refused to bring me a drink without a food order. Awful place, staff,food can't fault it enough . Avoid at all costs, more fun at home. Staffs interpretation of current legislation is pathetic.

I'll be brief. I accept these are strange days and certain precautions need to be taken but this is the worst wetherspoons I have ever been in! Slow service, abrupt and discourteous staff, table we were at was dirty. No excuse for this as the pub was virtually empty. Draconian interpretation of covid guidelines. Other wetherspoons I frequent are under same guidelines but are far more accommodating and welcoming. Staff member blamed manager. We felt unwelcome and i wont be goin back there! The food was good tho !

As we came, in times dominated by COVID 19, I have never felt a more safe, welcoming atmosphere. Our host, Tom, explained each COVID regulation, and set us at ease. I fully believe Tom is one of the best employee’s, and he is a very good team leader. Thanks, :)

No background music, people talking over them selves, cold throughout the pub, Poor customer service and the food come out warm. No atmosphere what so ever. Staff gave the impression they didn't want to be there Everything was to much trouble. Moved us from the door entrance to a table near the radiator as i said my grandma was freezing, she said she will put the radiator on but never did. Dirty table sticky floor and when the meal came out dirty cutlery I even felt dirty sitting there. Wanted to leave but as it was my grandmas suggestion to go i couldn't. Never ever will i be taken my grandma and mum there again. The gammon was fatty and cold and my mums steak was raw and not well done. Only nice thing i enjoyed was the coffee.

Boss people! Some great staff behind the bar loved our night. Me and my girlfriend went for a drink tonight and want to make a comment especially for Tom we had a problem with our drink and he went out of his way to fix the problem. just want to say a big thank you he’s great went beyond! Things like these make people come back!

Went for breakfast - service was pretty quick. Scrambled eggs and bacon on the side seemed freshly cooked. Coffee machines were adequate. Loos seemed clean.

Me and my wife have been in several times for a quick drink over the last few months. Unfortunately every single we have been there in during this time frame, there has always been groups of lads snorting coke in the toilets. It seems to have become the local hotspot for drugs to be tolerated. On our last visit the problem appears to have got even worse than ever, with a group of six lads rotating through one toilet cubicle. Definitely a place to avoid and let's hope this issue doesn't filter into other bars in prescot that have opened up. The management and police need to get a handle on this issue ASAP before it get worse or one of these coked up scallies hurts someone.

Cheap food and beer, good quality and quantity of food, very good for families as well. Good selection of alcohol, definitely worth a visit.

Extremely rude staff....who could do with lessons in customer service Struggled to find a table not full with dirty glasses, plates or food Floors and toilets not much cleaner

Went to this pub for a quiet drink when the girl behind the bar was very rude when I left the bar area she was talking about me to other member of staff never felt so uncomfortable in my life they need to get there act together before more ppl don't come back, the tables are full of dirty food and the cutlery weren't clean never going back there again,

Called in for breakfast. Toilets dirty, no paper, not even a paper dispenser. If this management is reflected in the kitchen we won’t be eating here again.

Very reasonable prices. Service pretty quick. Can use their app to order from your table. Helpful if Q at bar.

Welcome good, beer exelent. food few problem, had the mixt grill it felt like that it has been microwave re heated it did not felt like that it was freshly cook and no freid egg! Did not made a coment at the time. I was invited by some one, I felt it would have been incorrect to comment infront of them.

Had breakfast here, wanted to try the local Wetherspoon. Have tried many Wetherspoons pubs around the country as you know what to expect and we never feel let down. Breakfast was good and freshly cooked. Staff were friendly and the pub was quite busy. However, tables could do with a wipe down, as most of the free tables in the area we were at, had bits of food on them and were sticky with drink stains visible. To be fair, we only noticed two members of staff present in this rather large pub which was busy at the time.

Must have been to a different place than some of these reviews. Wife and I popped in for breakfast this morning . It was clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and helpful . We both had the large breakfast with black pudding as an extra and unlimited coffee. Tasty food and good coffee for under £15 total. Can't complain at that.

Unfortunately not impressed, tables full of empty plates and glasses, floor full of food, the place was filthy. I asked for a table to be cleaned which someone did come and do by flicking, with a cloth, the food all over the already dirty floor. When I asked for the food, mainly fish, chips and peas, to be cleaned off the floor I was told "you will have to wait, I will get told off if I don't get the food out". Really disappointed, don't think we'll be returning!

Just been this place on the way home from the hospital.The place is not the cleanest food and rubbish empty glasses on tables, coupled with what clearly is predominantley a place for drunks.we orderd 4 meals which included 2 large mixed grills, the server didint know the difference between rare or well done added to the fact that what should be a pre requisite a fried egg was a mangled mess rock hard and busted..the steak was shocking, tiny and burnt the manager explained that it was a smaller steak , and not a large despite me paying £ 3 extra for 2 large mixed grills.he offered a drink as an apology we declined and he never came back to discuss it.in my opinion stay clear, this is the most unkept sub standard wetherspoons i have been to.the picture shows the steak to the far left of the picture.

Went for breakfast (wont do that again). My food came out after waiting half hour (only a breakfast) and everything completely burnt. The waitress just slammed it on our table and walked away. Wondering where my wife's food was we had to ask. They gave it to someone else. No apology they almost seemed to hint it was our fault that they gave it to another table. We asked for a refund that took 15 minutes and got out of there. Dont waste your time. Go somewhere else we did. Did notice a lot of people drinking beer at 10 am so if that's what you want you'll be fine. Wont be back...

Went here when home late from airport and wanted quick snack. A local pub on town's main pedestrianised street and next door to a betting shop.Typical of all Wetherspoons in so far as has large selection of beers, wines and spirits. Special deals on drinks and food with daily specials and breakfasts so good value. Very busy place with indoor seating and a few tables outside on the street. On downside at weekends it is very busy & very noisy and has bouncers to control the often raucous drinkers who seem to go here to meet up before moving on elsewhere. Causes problem for local residents both day & night with rubbish, noise and general undesirables. Will not be using again. This is not a criticism of Wetherspoons pubs in general as we have used many of them in the past. Some are great, some good and some not so good like this one, Watchmaker

waited all morning for my pancakes got here an there was none left absolute joke i will never be returning

Food is always great, service is good, always up for a laugh, very accommodating. Toilets are always clean. All ages feel comfortable, from new borns to pensioners! Everyone is accepting in here xxxxx

Come here quite often and to be fair it's not bad at all. Service is fine and has always been accommodating to us so can't really fault anything. One of the better Wetherspoons.

I've been a regular visitor to this pub over the last few years, but no more. Went for a family meal on Tuesday 11/12/18. Ordered 4 steaks on the App, when the meals arrived all were stone cold, meals were returned and returned lukewarm. Foolishly my wife and i returned Saturday 15/12/18 for our normal breakfasts, again both meals arrived cold, they were sent back and new hot breakfasts arrived. Never again, this place has been on the decline for a couple of years with lack of stock for certain items, shabby decor and cleaning standards way below what is required as a minimum standard (fish & chip menus on table and floor from previous night). In some ways I should stopped coming here a while ago but through lack of alternatives in the area i've soldiered on. I'm a big fan of the Wetherspoon chain and have visited and review many around the country, but never again will i return to my local Wethersoon's without some drastic changes in management, staff and decor. Disappointed !

Food excellent not long to wait. Had the scampi and coffee refill with a shot of baileys. Staff always very polite.

Came here for breakfast the place was filthy dirty sauce bottles being left on table. Empty tables full off dirty dishes not being cleared away by staff. Our food came and it was freezing cold we sent it back and demanded another one. Staff where rude didn’t seem to be bothered or apologise for the cold food. After we got the second meal they didn’t once come over to check everything was ok. As we left no good bye or any kind of friendliness at all. Staff where very young like they just came out of school.

Having read some of the reviews on here, some of which are obviously malicious, probably been barred, I thought as a regular I'd leave a balanced honest review. It's neither "scruffy" or "falling down" as one person stated. The staff are pleasant and professional, even when some of the customers aren't, and work hard. The food is also good. It's a wetherspoons which is value for money honest fayre at a good price and i can honestly say that I have never had a bad meal in there. Phil the manager is a really nice guy and goes out of his way to help in any way he can. I would recommend it to anyone without hesitation, give it a try.

Being a big fan of the Wetherspoon brand and have eaten, drank and even slept in many of the companies establishments I have more often than not enjoyed. There are some fantastic spoons pubs in this country, the best I find, being in the north west.

Been here quite a few times. Food is usually really nice. I ordered the meat feast pizza and a cheesy garlic bread. When I got it, the peperoni was burnt on top and was a bit black in places, so I asked for another one. The garlic bread didn't taste like garlic bread, it just tasted like cheese. I sent that back too. The food didn't seem like the wetherpoons food I'm used to. The second pizza I got was even worse. The bacon on top was almost all black and the middle of the pizza was soggy and unapetising. I don't know how the pizza was underdone when the bacon was black. In the end the manager said I could get a refund. He was really friendly and so were all the staff. Couldn't ask for better customer service. I felt awful complaining but I didn't want to waste the money I spent. I'm not sure if there was a stand in chef or someone new that didn't have a lot of experience but the food poor. It's put me off from going to that Wetherspoons again.

As Wetherspoon’s go, this is one of the better ones and we always look forward to visiting it when we are in Prescott. The meal options are always improving along with the nutritional information - that most mainstream restaurants do not provide. Healthy eating options are increasing too which is another plus. However, by far the biggest attraction is the no-nonsense pricing strategy which offers the customer great value for money. Well done Wetherspoons and, in particular, The Watch Maker!

The steak was massive. Excellent value for money. Loads of choice. Very quick service. Staff friendly. Yummy

Lovely and friendly atmosphere as you walk in.Excellent service friendly staff.Definitely recommend for a nice relaxing atmosphere.

Always make an effort to stop here for some sustenance while down to Liverpool on business and we are never disappointed, place is always spotlessly clean including toilets, food is always served piping hot and very tasty especially the home made pizza and you get a great cup of coffee here,staff are always polite and nothing is too much trouble.I cannot recommend this establishment enough to fellow travellers

Doors opened wide at 10.45 pm to encourage customers to leave as last orders are at 11.50!! Staff more concerned with leaving early than customer service. Bottling up is more important than serving.

Popped in for Tea with my wife and daughter, ordered off the app, unbelievably fast service and excellent value for money. Two British Chilli 2 4 £8.29 and a Childs HotDog plus drinks for well under £20!!! Spoons doesn’t disappoint again

Me and my son who is 27 called in here after an early morning hospital appointment.we was both hungry as we had missed breakfast. I had a small cooked breakfast (sausage,bacon,egg,hash brown and beans) and it was delicious.hot and quick.my son had bacon rolls and he said he could have eaten it again.really enjoyed it and cant wait to go again.

Sat with family having a quiet drink. Son and partner went to the toilet whilst I rocked my baby daughter to sleep. Whilst I was still sat at the table it was cleared, including my sons drink which wasn’t finished! I was annoyed but didn’t think anything of it. Moments later I realised that my betting slips had been taken, I went to the bar and pointed this out to the member of staff who took them. There were however unable to locate the slips in the bin... Were they in his pocket? I have since contacted weatherspoons but no one has had the decency to reply!

Like all WSP this offers good value food and drink. What it doesn't offer is an interesting venue (old cinema, theatre etc) as it is housed in an old retail unit but its a good space with lots of places to sit.

Been a few times in the past this visit was much improved thanks to Phil and the team I will visit again nice to see someone is trying thanks again Phil

We popped in for a drink and a snack after a sunny afternoon. The place was fairly empty. The service was great and food nice and served quick. We were just finishing our food when to our horror a huge rat was on a table opposite. My girlfriend spotted it and shouted out. I went across the room to investigate and to my surprise i spotted it twice running around between the tables. I ran over to the bar to tell the staff and they did not seem surprised. People started leaving and a man said he was not surprised as a chinese restaurant across the road has a rat infestation problem. Five minutes later a young staff member came to see me and we filled out an incident report. We are worried now in case the rat had been on our table or wether they are in the kitchen in case we catch anything. I am going to contact the health inspector today.

It's not a one off as we have now been several times over the past year. Only becouse it's close.

I have been there a good few time with my Family and Friend an reading some of these review was really shocked, i will admit i am a moaner over food an trust me as my family would tell you,, this is the first thing they say to me is QUOTE..... mum be good no complaining please lol .... well as i said i cannot find a fault in there... Good Food, Lovely Staff they cannot do enough for you

Food can be good on some days and awful on others.. prefer to go to this wetherspoons for a drink than to eat always a lovely atmosphere and great service

It's a lovely pub right next too a busy shopping very hard too find parking space around excellent for disabled people and family's drinks very cheap food not the best had a few things off the menu average it's what u pay for if your on a cheap budget it for that but my self just go for a drink with family very clean pub staff helfull if u need anything

Firstly I never use TripAdvisor for a review or use this as a tool.

Called in for a breakfast to the Watchmaker in Prescot as a weekend treat. Eggs were rock hard and well overcooked. Pointed this out to the waitress who said "sorry about that......" So where does the complaint go ? Tried the mushrooms and nearly choked!!! Bitter, rubbery, unable to chew them.... They were clearly off and past their use by date. No receipt was given which is what Wetherspoons require when you make a complaint. I told the manager this before leaving and he told me a receipt is only given when asked for. Very disappointing. Would not recommend or visit again.

To start I made a complaint last year around September over how awful this pub had become. Many of my friends and family have visited over Christmas and said how things are very different and how it is such a nice place now but I...

Earlier this year I wrote a quite blunt but factual review. I can honestly say on my recent visit this...

Plenty of people criticise Wetherspoons but it us what it is. Decent burger and chips with a drink for £6 odd. Can't go wrong with that. Friendly staff to go with it. Fine dining it isn't but great value it is.

6 of us visited last Wednesday , first time we have eaten there and was pleasantly

We always pop in when visiting family in the Merseyside area and can honestly say we have never had cause to complain about anything,food is always spot on and the staff are always cheerful and helpful especially Phil who always goes out of his way to make each visit as good as the last,can highly recommend the curry and the children really enjoy the burgers,can't recommend this establishment enough to fellow travellers

I have visited the watch maker several times over the past few months with friends for lunch and dinner. I have recently seen some really negative reviews regarding the watch maker and feel these are really undeserved. We have always enjoyed our visits and always found our food to be hot and satisfactory and always found a friendly comfortable atmosphere. We have noticed over the past few months that standards have got a lot better and any small issues there might have been have improved a great deal. all the staff seem to be working really hard and this is obvious in the improvements I have seen during my visits.

Easiest to write a simple list of recent experiences on a Friday and Saturday night. 1, Drugs there is always...

Visited the watchmaker on quite a few occasions, It always seems busy with the staff a bit overstretched. The décor is a little tired. However, the meals have always been to standard, it seems a more lively weatherspoons than most I have frequented, I think it would improve probably with more hands on deck, to cope with clearing of tables following a busy trade, wouldn't stop me visiting again, like the way it is set out, very inviting.

Has quite a miserable atmosphere, bar staff never look too happy, tables dirty and not cleared, the table I went too had spilt liquid on it and dirty plates which is the case for most of the pub as the tables are tacky and most left uncleared, the smell of sewage near the bar is getting worse and toilets seem to have loose toilet paper left in the toilet pan, the disabled toilet is used by everyone including the staff, disabled toilet door always left open and is a mess at times, its probably the worst Wetherspoon's I've visited, needs a major shake up which should start with the bar staff. The management seems extremely poor, I've visited a few Wetherspoon's up and down the country and The Watchmaker is by far the dirtiest and worse pub I've been in, I can only assume that the staff and vast majority of the regulars live like this themselfs, quite a disgusting pub.

Mixed grill...yeh..nothing wrong with it..good value for money pub grub. It's Wetherspoons..it depends which one you eat in, but I've always found the "Watchmaker" to be okay.

I like wethies but this one falls short in ways of service and standards set by Wetherspoons in general. always 3 or 4 ales waiting to be put on service at the bar not good management lot of staff talking amongst themselves rather than looking after customers I hate the who's next question when wether busy or not they should know by just concentrating on there job. and table clearance ie empty glasses and plates is a joke

This pub gets worse every time I visit this time frozen hash browns it’s not hard to use a temperature probe good job it’s not raw chicken

All in all a shocking place to visit! Very short staffed, very slow service, and the place looked really dirty and messy! Wont be coming again!!

I visit this establishment on a fairly regular basis, mainly for breakfast with my wife. I'm a big fan of the Wetherspoons chain, decent beer, decent food for a decent price and most are quite tidy inside, where ever I am in the country I know they can be relied on. However The Watch Maker is now looking a bit tired and tatty, cleaning not the best, breakfast Saturday morning with Fridays fish n chip menu and crayons still on the tables. The breakfasts are hit and miss temperature wise and there is always something unavailable, black pudding, honey, salmon to name a few. You may ask why I return ? It's convenient and cheap and there's nothing else close by. Not the best Wetherspoons I'm afraid.

Absolute disgrace reported to food investigations after illness after eating here manager disinterested when reported have a look at picture tell me what u think of the chicken

Have recently moved to the area so though I would give the place a go. Have used Wetherspoon pubs all over the UK, this one is nicely done out, bar service was good and the staff friendly. Only thing that spoilt our visit was people who looked like they had been their all day and then had seemingly picked up their small children from school to let them run round and round the pub screaming. I am all for kids and families having meals in pubs but unruly kids who are not even eating spoiling everyone elses visit. Several other pubs in the area are more restaurant based so will give them a go next time.

Came here for daughters 16th, with a group of 15, we made a cheers and my daughter picked up her nans wine glass to do so with, at which point a member of staff spotted my daughter with it in her hand and completely misread the situation and then reported it to the manager resulting in the wine glass getting took away and the whole group getting discriminated from ordering even with a non alcoholic beverage. Contrary to common law therefore this surely is unacceptable!

Weathers is ok for a cheap ok dinner however all the prices have gone up so u can get this ok pub grub at most pubs cheaper !!

Visit here most Thursdays with my parents and their friends. Always friendly service, the quality of the food is consistent and its great value for money, makes you think twice before going elsewhere!The owl and the pussycat theme is quirky too!

Our second visit to the watch Maker and again we were not disappointed. It was Wednesday and quite busy but still tables available. We shared a starter, the Chicken breast bites Battered chicken, sticky soy sauce and it arrived hot and on a hot plate, that's important to us, the chicken and sauce was excellent so don't be put off by the description of the sauce as it is a lot better than it sounds, for the mains I went for the 14oz Aberdeen Angus rump steak with chips , peas, tomato, mushroom and Mrs Titan had the mixed grill, a drink was included in the deal so we had a pint of lager each......................and then a bottle of the Wolf Bass Chardonnay which was very good value . both the steak and the mixed grill were excellent. after we had eaten the Duty Manager, Charles, came over to check our meals were satisfactory and also just to have a chat, he has a passion for what he does and that shows in the service and quality. The wafch maker is a bit off the beaten track for us but I'm sure we will return before too long.

as nearly always with spoons the ales were on top form and the food good value --on this occasion only had drinks ---pub very busy and the staff efficient and friendly--maybe time for a revamp on the décor.

It is almost impossible for Wetherspoons breakfast to be beaten on value and service tends to be very slick. Inside is rather gloomy unless you sit by the window. It's very popular in the evenings and so getting a seat can be difficult. My recommendation would be pick your time of day. It seems to attract people who struggle to speaking without swearing and so I would not dine with family or children. Smokers generally hog the doorway despite the signs.

Excellent values meal and drink for under £7, good atmosphere and service, downside was tables were left with dirty dishes on for some time, I had to ask for our table to be wiped before we ate, it was a warm day and looked like they'd been busy. Would return as food was good and good value, bottle of wine under £9,

Most of the tables were occupied ,the one we sat at was very sticky, we. Ordered mixed grill and bruschetta , the meat on the mixed grill was dry but the lamb was gone of, the bruschetta was just garlic bread with balsamic glaze ,service was friendly enough. Food disappointing .

Went to meet a group of husbands workmates. Great meeting place, clean so cheap for premium brands. I actually enjoyed that no loud music so you could socialise without shouting.

Called wednesday last week for food . Food not bad at all and very good value.Male staff all polite and attentive.However , the young female bar maid , could do with a course in customer care . Very rude and likes to serve her friends first , no matter how long you have waited .Had the displeasure of being in her way on previous visits , so its not a one off ! .On my last visit here a few weeks earlier , a fat drunk couple were in the disabled toilet for an eternity - doing what ? Makin bacon ?There is always plenty of security about . Do your job !!Why spend all that money refurbishing the place and then let it go down the pan ?Shame !

Probably one of the scruffiest Wetherspoons that I have visited - not many people in which speaks volumes. However, the curry I had was quite good and there was the usual decent selection of ales.

Came in quite late in the evening for a drink and snack. Got Nachos and wings. The Nachos came and we're dry? Although they had guacamole and salsa there was no cheese sauce or melted cheese? With no check back either how is this expected to be rectified? Doubt we'll be back

Place has not impressed me again still untidy place required a good face lift as well as the manager staff more worried over cleaning than looking to service you

Been on many occasions. Steak night on Tuesday & Curry Club on Thursdays are my favourite nights. Good selection of beers

Great beers, friendly staff. Food is always served quickly, good value and always great taste. Such good value for money you can not go wrong here

We decided to take a bus ride and visit somewhere where we had not been to, a couple of workmates live near the Watch maker and recommended it so off we went. It was quite busy when we got there but it is a large place so we had no trouble finding a nice table, we fancied a bottle of wine but the meals we wanted came with a drink so we ordered a bottle of Chardonnay, Chicken wings for starters, a rump steak with a pint of Ruddles for me and a mixed grill and a Carling for Mrs Titan, who says " don't mix the grape with the hop" !, we didn't have to wait long for the wings, 10 pieces in total with two dipping sauces, hot and tasty !. We had a bit of a wait for the mains to arrive but that's the way we like it, time to sit and chat, again the food was hot and cooked just right, adding my bus-fare to the bill the whole night cost less than £40, I call that a bargain !. We shall return !.

I visit hear a lot. Always enjoyable. Nice ale and food in great location.Comfortable and nice decor. Worth a visit just for cask ales.

Like all these brand pubs the food is cheap and cheerful, we take the children for Saturday breakfast and enjoy it. During the day it is a drinkers pub !

Ate at The Watch Maker with family had a lovely lunch with beer and steak at a very reasonable price.

We have visited many Weatherspoons in many parts of the country.We find this one our local in Prescot is by far the best. We go quite often at tea time myself and my husband. We have also taken the family. Staff are always curteous. Food nicely cooked a good variety and good value.

went here on 7th February, again they cudnt fry eggs, wasn't offered an alternative until I asked for scrambled which was brought to me after my meal was finished, 2 beers that were advertised as on weren't. When home I emailed them and they did apologise and send me a voucher for 2 free meals and drinks. We went there on Wednesday 8th march again 2 beers that were advertised as on weren't, I ordered scampi and chips, my husband had rump steak with chips, the steak was chewy and we both had cold chips and cold peas, there was only one member of staff serving behind the bar and again the tables weren't cleared of left over food. We did tell the mamanger we weren't happy and he did offer us a free desert which we declined, we wont be going back there in a hurry.

This is a typical Wetherspoons establishment, which I think is fine. They offer good pub food and ales at a decent price.However, most of the staff at this place are appalling. No smiles, no friendly welcome, they are always miserable and are never courteous, regardless of how pleasant you are.The tables are overflowing with the last customers leftovers. We are sat here now, looking at tables that haven't been emptied for over an hour.Such a shame, as this could be fantastic.

Went here to sample the chicken Wednesday deal. We have tried it a few times and each has been enjoyable.This time was no exception - as with all Wetherspoons - you know what you are getting.I got the chicken wings and my wife got the skewers - both of us enjoyed our meal and at the price (including a drink) could not be faulted.Staff were attentive enough.Think the place itself is starting to show how many people "come through the door" but what can you expect from such a busy place.My only gripe (which is probably due to my own time behind a bar) was that there were too many glasses hanging around at the end of the bar for too long - which made the place look a bit grubby.

Visited 5th Feb 2017 after a great day at knowsley safari park. We decided to call in and eat at the watch makers ,no burgers, they were unable to fry eggs, obviously they had misplaced the frying pan.When we asked for our money back, even though we had paid cash we were told we would have to get it back on our card.Staff were rude and approached by shoplifters to buy there goods.Real upmarket establishment
