Food was cold. Manager walks round with no passion for her job. I've been coming to this place for years she used to work in the workingtin branch she never smiled there and doesn't smile at the Whitehaven branch either and creates an uncomfortable environment I would hate to work for her. Food was cold as usual I had the new Korean chilli chicken which was actually very tasty but cold. I did complain about the beer as it was very cloudy I said it's not meant to be like that the bar person said it was fine it did taste ok to be fair I went back for one more pint and there was none left he said I'd had the last pint. I said that's why it was cloudy he just smiled and wasn't bothered. The beer should not be served when it looks like cloudy apple cider it should be clear.

Wnet here yesterday. Tried the curry day meals. Ordered samosas as a side dish. These were deep fried but still frozen inside. Took these back and was just told ok will get some more. No sorry etc. New ones came piping hot so all good. Shame they tasted crap. The chicken tikka was very poor and tasteless. Pint of Doombar tasted like it was diluted and lacking taste. Overall the waitress and the place were dirty and scruffy. Will never go back to this place again. Go there at your peril YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED ⚠️

Always get a good brekky at Spoons, was my comment when deciding to eat here. Well,,,,,,, I was wrong! Traditional breakfast ordered, arrived cold and was quickly taken away and warmed up. Or so I thought, the plate was hot but the beans were still cold, egg was like rubber from what I presume was the microwave, the bacon was hardly cooked and the sausage had no taste. Ate the toast and left the rest. Eggs benedict was good though. Staff were freindly

Typical Wetherspoons, clean and busy most of the time. Large toilet area which is of the cleanliness level you would expect for a busy place such as this. Good location in town near other bars/pubs. Main drawbacks are there is no outside seating (but do have large glass fronted doors they can open) and no car park if coming for just a meal.

A decent selection of drinks and beverages on offer with special deals on cocktails and spirits. They have different theme nights such as curry night and steak night, which offer deals on the selection of the night. They are a bit unreliable with the consistency of their menu as popular favourites and dietary alternatives are constantly added and then removed quite frequently.

We were in there Thursday night, June 6th, we ordered food and sat eating it, I finished mine n went outside to have a cigarette, my partner hadn't finished his food, he has cancer n felt sick, so he left our drinks, my bag and his half finished food on the table, when we both returned to our table all the food had been taken away and the table wiped, our drinks were still there and my bag, I spoke to a member of staff and was told I should have informed them we hadn't finished, surely they should have waited until we had actually left the table, bearing in mind our drinks and my bag were still on the table, this is the 3rd bad experience in there, won't be going bck ever

My niece and I came here for a "date day" and had an amazing time. We came at one of the busiest times (Saturday afternoon of a bank holiday weekend) but everything was very smooth sailing. We ordered on the app, my niece got the chicken strip burger kids meal with chips and beans, and a glass of orange juice. I got the pasta Alfredo with a glass of white wine and added some halloumi slices on so that she could try some. Everything came quickly and was delicious, and the staff member who checked on us throughout our meal was so pleasant. My niece can't wait to go back with me at some point, it was lovely!

The most northernmost spoons point for me (guessing Whitehaven is further north than Newcastle?). Interesting history of the location on a fairly bleak, windswept, rainy day. San Miguel was off, the bar changed the barrel, better but had a strange after taste. Must have been the weather.. 😉

This is such a well positioned pub right on the front at Whitehaven. It is nicefully decorated with a good range of seating depending on group size 2 seater tables, 4 seater or large settee effects. Staff are very nice and front of house staff kept busy tidying and clearing tables. The toilets are on ground level so that is always a bonus to any spooners. Would recommend this pub and indeed a trip to Whitehaven for a grand day out.

Fish and chips afternoon special was very good value but the herb half chicken was very odd. I have had it in other venues but this was served on a plate absolutely swimming with watery stuff and with the chicken , obviously just heated in it's bag and still crushed and misshapen as it had been plopped out looking like a foetus. No grilling/ barbequing had been attempted. Perhaps the staff ( who were very pleasant) need some instruction on correct presentation. We all know that wetherspoons fare is largely microwaved but it's not usually this obvious.

Only reason I’m giving 1 star is for the barman that tried to sort out my order. Chicken arrived frozen in the middle & mash potato was solid on the bottom. Complain & got a replacement which I’m guess the (so called) chef tried to cook to charcoal to make a point as what I could describe as a shrivelled pigeon breast arrive and was solid like the mash potato. Everyone know Wetherspoons has low standards but this place even fails to reach them.

Very hit and miss with food, we've had occasions where we have gone in with a company for a works meeting and we have ordered, and the food comes out okay ( burgers/chips) but the team has become unwell after. I myself have gone in with friends / family and some of the meals would be exactly as ordered or not at all. One friend had ordered a burger with no salad and it came back with no other filling than burger meat which baffled us. Was resolved with a free drink but didn't fix the food issue. On a good day, the food can be perfect and not a single thing wrong with the entire meal and everyone leaves happy and full. Can never fault the staff there, all of them do everything they can and are always pleasant and welcoming. Happy to accommodate and happy to fix orders as much as they are allowed too. So for the bar and serving staff you can never really complain. As said definitely a hit and miss here. But I'm sure every place is like that.

Want to be able to give it more stars :/ Nice to have a chip shop in such a small village. Easy to find, nice young woman behind the counter. As she was cooking the fish, I thought - hmm- should be now.... or now... or now. Well, so probably was, so a bit overcooked. Chips were good (glad I saw her salt/vinegar an order or 2 before mine so I could say 'no, thank you' to waaaay too much salt. Got an order of cold slaw. Ok - was a serving of mayo with some cabbage in it. Hope they consider some adjustments! Then would recommend.

Shockingly dirty for a place serving food. Chairs an absolute disgrace. Dirty, stained, marked. I'm amazed environmental health hasn't been in and told them to get them cleaned. If it was only one I could have attempted to make some sort of excuse. But it wasn't. A group of us had gone for lunch but we all decided to find somewhere else. I'm honest baffled how Dixons are getting away with it? The Terrace cafe in Workington put this place to shame. I'm amazed people were eating there. We wouldn't go back. Pictures enclosed. Zoom in guys. Truly mehhhh 🙈🤮

This place is unreal! Honestly you could not write how bad it is, it’s that bad you just have to laugh. There is absolutely no organisation at all. There were 3 waiting on members of staff, none of which had a clue. They wandered around aimlessly with food & drinks with absolutely no idea what table they were for. They were in & out of the kitchen with the same plates of food, it was just bizarre. One table, while we were there, were given their mains at the same time as their starters! We had to ask for our table to be cleared, if you asked for anything it took them at least 20 minutes. I have never seen such poor service. Food was ok, nothing special. The only reason to return would be the comedy value, you cannot believe your eyes!
