"We come here a lot so I have based this review on our overall experience over recent years but also to make people aware of a ridiculous policy we encountered this week. I don 't know if this particular staff member was having a bad day or if this is genuinely a new thing but it was very poor. We came for a family meal due to celebrating a grandchild birthday so were ordering a lot of food for everyone. We got confused and forgot to stipulate what drink we wanted for a couple of the meals. We realised just after we had paid and asked for the drinks before we had left the bar, just to be told No. You should have asked for them and now it 's too late These meals come with a drink so should not involve anything other than pouring the missing drinks surely? In the past we have always been asked what drink we would like when ordering a meal with a drink so this just seemed utterly ridiculous. The woman was borderline rude and just shrugged when we questioned this saying it was our fault and now it 's too late. I have still given this a 4 star review as we have always had good service before from most members of staff (including the one in question), the food is generally consistent and we usually enjoy ourselves when we come but this new policy (if it is indeed a policy) is terrible customer service. A polite reminder is all that is needed if people forget to stipulate a drink surely?"

My in-laws took my wife and me out for dinner here, and we had a lovely experience. I ordered the katsu chicken breast curry; while I found the chicken to be a bit dry, I’ve heard that the other dishes were quite delicious.

Once again another good visit to a spoons. Visited late Monday afternoon it wasn't busy. I had the ultimate burger which came with onion rings and chips. My wife had scampi and chips with onion rings. Both very good and represent excellent value for money. The scampi is as good as anywhere else. Will visit again.

It was Thursday afternoon and wasn't too busy. My wife had bbq chicken melt which she said was good. I had 3 small plates of a pizza, loaded chips and Southern fried chicken strips. They were nice but there was just too much. But at £14+ it was a bargain. Nice pub to eat. One thing I noticed was the cleanliness. It wasn't like your typical spoons with mess everywhere.

We dined here for lunch on Saturday and had a pleasant experience. I ordered the half chicken, which I always enjoy, while my husband opted for a burger. The meals at Wetherspoons provide excellent value; they aren't gourmet but are satisfying and flavorful. The pub was bustling, yet there were plenty of tables available, and, as always, the customer service was excellent.

Was quite hungry after doing a weight cut for a boxing match I had traveled from Ireland for. Didn't take time to look at the breakfast menu and ordered the traditional breakfast. When it came down there were 8 slices of bacon and 3 eggs as well as the normal hash brown beans etc...... Couldn't fault the portion sizes. Service was great too if a little judgemental. But will definitely be back x

Staff are very friendly and quite attentive but the security team have 'power ' issues, I was asked to leave after 2 pints for apparently being sick, honestly I was well etc but was spoken to like I was causing trouble and made to feel if they want to free up space they will bully you into leaving while ignoring any of the actual problem customers making noise etc, food is all from a freezer warmed up in microwave and burgers are normal cremated or black , eat elsewhere but drinking is fine if you 're allowed to that is

I stopped by The Gardens for breakfast as I was passing through on my way to another destination. It's a Wetherspoons, so that checks out. The traditional breakfast? Yes, that's right. The cutlery had that vaguely worn feel? Check. The fried egg was so hard it could double as a frisbee? Absolutely. The bacon was warm? Check. The toast was lightly toasted, but the butter was tougher than a brick? Definitely. The baked beans had a bit of skin? Check. The sausage was on the cheaper side? Yes. The hash browns were soft? Check. The coffee was strong enough to give you a headache? You bet. Same old routine? Check. And the men's restroom was a mess, with liquids everywhere but in the toilets? Tripl...
