Wow lovely fish and chips. At an excellent price. Our friend's had steak it was fabulous. I will definitely be going back. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Well done.

Food was very quick out of the kitchen and boiling hot. There was no atmosphere in the dining room. It was cheap and cheerful. The dining room needs updating and maybe new chairs.

Ordered by the app because I was by myself service was quick. No pouring cream for the dessert or no pizzas so couldn't use my discounts. Wifi is goo. Food came out warm but brownie was hot. Felt like the gammon, egg and chips were lacking in authenticity and didn't come with pineapple. Sounded like they were using a microwave in the kitchen as you could hear the beeping every few seconds. Disappointed in the gammon because it was sliced too thin and looked like it was just reheated. The app didn't give me the a option to change the ice cream to cream so I had to ask and what she said was my response in the first sentence. Also, didn't get a straw with my drink even thought there was I had pressed yes and the drink came after the food.

I normally love it here, safe bet for some good food at decent prices but it was very the furniture and decor were looking really worse for wear, tables felt dirty and the food wasn't very nice. Great staff though and I will try again another day.

This place shouldn't be high on anyone's expectations after all the head chef is a microwave. Is it good for a quick bite and a drink? Yeah sure. However its not very good if you plan to have above average food and don't want watered down pints. Recently they have been reducing their meal sizes and portions hoping no one would catch on but see my attached picture and look at the amount of rice served with a curry and the picture is after we sent it back to the kitchen to have more rice added, so you can imagine what the portion was like before. They also forgot one of our meals and it was only after everyone started eating that we realised they weren't coming with our other meal . So we had to go to the bar to notify someone however there was no one there so we had to wander around to try find a member of staff who could locate our food. Also if you're arriving here by car MAKE SURE you input your registration to the machine at the bar, as the car park is monitored by a scam parking company who will send you a ticket in the post if you forget to input your registration, and there's no point calling the pub for help as they say its nothing to do with them as the car park is monitored by a separate company. All in all pretty average Wetherspoons.

Rude. Very poor service and when I questioned it I was called abusive.

What is charging people money and not actually delivering the food ordered? And when it is delivered, ¼ of it missing and the rest cold? Promised hot replacement never appeared.

Saying you feel abused when you fail to deliver isn’t good enough. How should the paying customer feel?

Came here for lunch recently (early Jan 23) as part of a large party (about 17 of us). We walked over from UHW after lectures. It was easy to get to on foot and there is also parking and an outdoor seating area with pretty lights which we ignored (it's winter ❄️😅). The inside reminded me of an old man's working club with its high ceilings and old fashioned decor, and it was clear that some of the customers there were regulars. Some of them were giving us dirty looks as though we had sat in their seats which made the atmosphere a little prickly!

We ordered food but were told there would be a 45 minute wait. Not ideal but we weren't really going to lose sleep over it. 55 minutes later and while some of our group had received their food, it seemed as though smaller parties who had come in after us were receiving their orders quicker. We asked the waitress/server who assured us this was not the case. It was an hour and ten before I received my food and one of the girls (one of the first to place her order) didn't receive her burger until 15 minutes after that. By that time, some of our group had finished their meals and demolished a pud!

I ordered a tuna melt panini with chips. My food was piping hot and I have to say the chips were some of the best I have ever tasted. Very unexpected from a 'Spoons! The panini was tasty too but a little salad garnish might have cheered the plate up a bit - so 4 stars for the meal. Though that's obviously personal preference.

The bar itself had a good range of drinks including Thatchers on tap which is what I opted for. I wish I had clocked the name of the guy behind the bar as he was awesome and definitely made the experience better than it would otherwise have been. He was very friendly, chatty, knowledgeable and helpful and clearly born for a customer facing role (about 5ft 8" or 9", slim build, mousey, wavy hair, about 26 years old - if you read this, thank you 🙏). If I could base my review on him alone, I'd have given 5 stars ✨.

I feel bad giving 3 stars as we hadn't booked and things might have been different if we had, and the food was lovely. The only thing that let it down, apart from the wait were the evils we were getting from the regulars. Its a public house people. You don't own it!

Overall I would recommend. But if you are a large party, book first. 🤘

Really busy only 1 staff member taking orders, no cups for the hot drinks had to wait for them to bring over clean cups. Ordered 4 large breakfast with black pudding all brought our different times two were given to wrong table, asked for the black pudding that was ordered and was brought out to us literally as we were finishing out food, understaffed no idea of what was going on and didn't seem to be any member of staff raking charge of the situation had to speak to different staff everytime to see what was going on.
