"On a quiet Thursday evening, my boyfriend and I decided to share a couple of beers and a meal to say goodbye for a while. This seemed completely reasonable, especially in an airport setting. Both in our early thirties, we were behaving perfectly normally—it's never easy to say goodbye. However, after our second pint (the last one, as I needed to catch my flight), a tall woman with brown hair, wearing a yellow name badge, approached our table and put us in a humiliating situation. She loudly scolded us, saying, "Come on guys, this is a restaurant, not a hotel room." It was shocking enough that we were left speechless. In a proper restaurant, when food is being served, you'd expect to receive cutlery, even if it accidentally falls to the floor. But instead, we were made to feel embarrassed at a vulnerable moment—something I wouldn't wish on anyone. I strongly urge the management to have a serious conversation with this staff member about what customer service truly means, especially in an airport environment. Thank you."

Wetherspoon should face bankruptcy due to its terrible treatment of employees. It's no surprise that people are vandalizing their windows across the country.

The team here does an excellent job! They offer local beers that complement the design perfectly. The steak was a great value, and it was cooked exactly as requested—rare, just like I asked. The staff is very friendly, and the service is quick.

The service was outstanding, and the food and cocktails were fantastic and arrived promptly, even though the restaurant was extremely busy. All the staff were very attentive and friendly. A special shoutout to Lewis, who helped us keep an eye on the time so we didn't miss our flight!

nikola was my hostess to welcome me from the long waiting queue to the restaurant and although it was extremely busy, she always had a friendly smile and helped me to choose the best available netzen and made me comfortable to make sure that the food and drinks came in the time for my flight. thanks for the great service, I'll be back!

I had a wonderful experience at All Bar One, thanks to the friendly greetings from the staff and the manager. However, it was Anna, the hardworking server, who truly stood out during my visit. Most airports tend to have standard bistro-style food and drink options, which often results in an average dining experience. It's the floor staff that really sets a place apart, and Anna certainly made my brief stay enjoyable.

I stopped by for a pint before my flight to Dublin with my son. He had a bag of chips from Burger King, but we were told he could only eat food purchased on the premises. I advised him not to go outside, but he politely did anyway. I noticed a woman at another table eating her own sandwiches, and when I pointed this out, the staff member simply shrugged it off. To make my point, I took out my apple and started eating it, and surprisingly, the staff member didn't say a word. Overall, I was not impressed and won't be returning.
