Great Spoons now. Good turnaround from what was a distinctly average Spoons.
Beer selection and keeping now good.
Food quality massively improved.
Staff now seem happy and attentive.
Incredible difference to what used to be.
August 2023 update all still good.
October 2023 update. First beer end of barrel and pizza slightly not as well cooked as normal. Staff offered replacement but had to leave. Overall still OK.
I can imagine this Spoons gets busy over a weekend.
I had a chicken schwarama and a Ghost Ship low alcohol beer for a little over a fiver - the usual excellent value for money from the brand.
There are plenty of other pubs and bars nearby if you want to explore the town.
Good breakfast and service was good too.
Just had curry as it was curry night .
Good value with a drink too.
Have been here many times over the years.
One of the better Wetherspoons in terms of building, service and quality of food served.
Cannot fault the breakfast for the price of £4.99.
Lively 'Spoons' in a former swish hotel in town. Good atmosphere with a great selection of drinks of all kind at exceptionally good prices. Food is not to everyone's taste, but it hits the spot with all the favourites of comfort food and is very popular. Most of it is very good and sometimes dishes can be average. Good service with friendly and helpful staff
Good Witherspoon's food was alright not that busy when I was in.
A spoons pub that looks and feels anything but. Approaching the pub it looks like any pseudo historic pub along the High Street- and then you notice the Wetherspoon brand. Almost takes you by surprise. The staff, well at least 3 of the men, were amazing. They were constantly serving, cleaning, restocking, etc, always talking to each other to see if any one needed help of any kind. Excellent team work and service provision - if only everyone's staff behaved this way. Anyway, the pub had a nice historic feel to it with ceiling beams on either side as you enter looking directly at the bar. There is a circular staircase on your right to the upper level. The fish and chips was excellent as was the Guinness
Always pour the perfect pint of Guinness. Good things come to those who wait.
Unfortunately Google will not allow me to submit a second review with my account.
However just one review does not do this establishment justice. I append further pictures of another perfectly poured Guinness and tonic.
A good pub, I went with friends, work colleagues and even for a small date during lockdown when things started opening up again. The service is good, the tables always sticky and the smell of old typical of a pub. There are tables outside which is really nice especially on a sunny day. The pub is located in the centre so I'd say it's a good place to stop for a quick lunch. The burgers were good and so were the wraps me and my friend always had. It's a well priced pub, but they could improve on the beer and drinks in general. An overall good experience and would be happy to go back.
Very nice. Chatty and helpful staff. Kat who was behind the bar was lovely. Ordered burgers and chips which were nicely presented and hot. Quaint olde worlde settings and quick food service. Look for the special offers too!
Food good standard and very reasonable. Very dark inside, found a window table. Slow service but very busy. Great value
Great atmosphere, nice place to bring kids. Great service too but food was disappointing. Felt like heated on the premises rather than cooked. However kids margheritta pizza was very tasty.
Pretty decent food for the price. Good range of drinks with some beer and cider festivals some times. The Beyond burger with added halloumi and fried egg is delicious!. New menu with more veggie options now.
Amazing options if you are a gin lover. They also have good vegan and veg options. Ordering from the app to get table service is a pretty good option here. The service is slow if you sit on the top section
