Customer Review Summary
Reviewers are split, and most complaints center on slow, cold food. Two describe long waits for wings, pizza and breakfasts, with orders reported as not coming through, cold plates, and only half the wings arriving. One reports dirty bowls and glasses. One diner enjoyed a plentiful Ulster Fry with polite staff, though the American breakfast had run out. Another calls it a standard Wetherspoon.

“Called in for breakfast with my daughter. Nice atmosphere and reasonably busy for a Wednesday morning. Staff very polite and helpful. Food was good and plentiful, both had Ulster Fry's. Daughter wanted American breakfast but was told none left. Will try again”

“I have done 140+ spoons now and this one ranks amongst one of the worst .. food .. don’t eat here if the rest of the food is like mine .. ! I will be making my views heard but have learned by previous experience .. to have to complain to the duty manager of the bar “Wetherspoon” simply don’t want to know ..”

“Great food and service, only fault table wasn't wiped down,”

“Appalling service, not even worth 1 star. Originally sat upstairs, though we were asked to move back downstairs as it wasn't open yet, which is fair. However, our food had already been ordered to the upstairs table and we were assured that it would be brought to our new one; after over an hour of waiting we enquired about our food only to be told it was already made and brought out, but they didn't see us so they took it away again. We were sat directly in view of the bar and at the place where the waitress said she'd bring it to us, even walking past us multiple times. The food itself was overcooked, in dirty bowls and dirty pint glasses. The coleslaw was a bright greenish yellow, definitely didn't look fit for human consumption. Considering we had been there over 2 hours at this point, we asked for takeaway boxes and were told they'd bring the boxes over to us. Another 15 minutes goes by, still waiting for the containers, we ask again only to be told that they are waiting for the delivery which even they were unsure of what time it would arrive. Monday mornings aren't particularly busy, so there was no excuse for such slow and pathetic service. Because of this we spent way longer in there than we had originally planned and ended up missing not 1 but 2 trains home as it took so long.”
