I decided on a relatively early pre-10am large breakfast, with extras of bacon, black pudding, tomato, and two pints of beer - because at 99p a pint for Worthington's why not? Food was very tasty, arrived hot - even the beans - which friends advise may not be, service was friendly, quick and convenient via the app, beer well looked after, prices very reasonable. Tempted to try lunch here sometime - but I really dislike it it in here when it's noisy, which it is when busy, so I tend to avoid it here. This breakfast on the other hand is something I will definitely do again. Earlier in the day rather than later. As I write this it has just turned 10:15am, is getting busier and has reached the point I find the noise difficult. Some basic acoustic treatment on the multiple flat surfaces such as areas of ceiling and walls wouldn't go amiss to help those similarly afflicted as me. (I can't cope with the noise in here when it's busy). Only one other minor negative, the gents slightly pongy, but they did look clean. In summary: Would I do breakfast here again? When it's quiet, definitely, it's excellent value and great service.

This weatherspoons it would seem to me is short-staffed everytime I visit for food as tables do not get cleared. Happy to get you in and spend but I feel my experience is left wanting as soon as I sit down with my food.

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.

Dependable normal type menu available, reasonable service and standard. However, it had been busier when I first went past and the staff were slow to tidy the tables and especially the untidy floor. If I hadn't been determined to visit I might have walked straight back out, slowly the tables at least were being cleaned whilst I was there..

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.

This is a Wetherspoons. It is clean, well run, and affordable for all. The food is a good standard and will fill your belly. The drinks selection is excellent, and the proximity to both the harbour and town centre is superb. If you know Wetherspoons, then you know what to expect. If you don't, try it.

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.

Pool table still not working. It was broken last December! Asked staff for assistance with pool balls - absolutely miserable young lady, never spoke, rude! Two days later went back (bad idea!) and man behind bar was most unhelpful and resentful when I asked for change to use their pub pool table. Summary - made to feel very unwelcome at this pub. Why are the staff so unhappy here?? Somethings not right at this place - this lot need to sort themselves out. P.S. We had a lovely experience at the Bower House Inn up the road - lovely staff, made to feel welcome - advice go there instead.

Was a resident for three nights in the first week of January '25. Excellent time throughout though quiet at this time of year, which is to be expected. Nice public bar area especially by the roaring fire. Lots of snow overnight Saturday (4th) so a white wonderland to awaken to in the morning; you can't beat that in these surroundings! Decided on an evening meal for the final night, fish & chips and it was 'delish' as they say. Will definitely be going back again at this time of year when time permits.
