Reviews
Odd crowd in here but we liked it. Quite a small quiet Spoons but it was Tuesday at 4pm when we arrived. Food was better than a lot of other Wetherspoons. Plates were hot which made a pleasant change. We both had burgers & we both said you could tell that whoever prepared them actually cared. I was hoping to learn a bit more about the history of the building but the food menu cover gave minimal info. Service, location & general appeal were all good. Spoke to 3 members of staff during our visit & they were all friendly, helpful & polite. Take note about your staff members Tim. No parking on site but public car park is a 4 minute walk costing £2.60 for 2 hours. Wetherspoons number 34 ticked off our list.
Wandered in on the way from train to the bus. Lovely old decor in an airy kind of way with lots of beers on tap. Friendly service at the bar. Nice atmosphere with a goodly number of patrons.
One of the most grim Wetherspoons/pubs in general I’ve ever been in.nSat down with full view of the men’s toilet door maybe turn the tables to face the other way as women don’t tend to exit the toilet still putting themselves away? Place looked like it hadn’t been cleaned properly in months. Carpet was covered in crumbs, flakes of I don’t know what, dirt, mud, you name it. Dropped something, bent down to pick it up and saw the state of the table legs with added banana slice. That’s been there a while.nDread to think what the areas you can’t see the kitchen and behind the bar look like if this is what the places you can see looks like! Horrible atmosphere in there. Unwelcoming.
I’ve always said that you know what you get with spoons, but today completely changed my opinion. Walked through a door in which the windows had been removed and a man was aggressively smashing it with a hammer on a sticky carpet, sat on sticky chairs to eat at sticky tables. My feet actually got stuck to the table leg. There was thick dust and dirt literally everywhere.nWe asked one of the waitresses for a cloth to clean the table, but she just came and ‘wiped’ a dry cloth over it - even this got stuck nnWe tried to pick up the menus, but these were stuck in the sticky remnants of the pints that had been spilled the night before and were stuck to the table.nnThere was limescale on the hot water dispenser, leading to a scummy cuppa tea- at least the tea bags were Tetley…nnHighlight was when I went back to the bar to ask for a hot drink, and after paying was told that the barman couldn’t find a clean cup. He came back after wandering around with his head in the air and said “this one’s been used, is that alright?” When I replied and said it was not, he said “do you want me to wash it?” He went and rinsed it under a tap - I could not bring myself to argue with such a deluded person so just sat back down without my coffee, despite paying for it.nnThe food tasted fine, but I’m now sat at home awaiting an inevitable bout of food poisoning, as I’m sure the kitchens are just as filthy as the rest of the place.nnMy Dad said he can only imagine we had a similar dining experience as to what we would have had in Beirut. Safe to say we won’t be returning.
Wasn't good unfortunately. They had run out of at least 4 items we asked for. There is nothing more disappointing than piercing your eggs on a benedict dish and being greeted with a stiff chalky yoke nnThe food was also stone cold and I think the staff knew it was bad because they didn't come near us after dropping the dishes and running away nnIt is cheap and you can bring your kids. BUT think I'd prefer to leave the kids at home, skip the food and enjoy the £2 lager in the garden next time
