  “You can’t really go wrong with a Spoons to be fair. You know what you’re getting. It’s good quality with no frills. The Mary Shelley has great decor and a good community feel: my daughter and I went for breakfast while on holiday and saw the publicity for a Thursday night quiz night there so we went and it was a lot of fun! Toilets are not too labyrinthine either 😜😜😜 Also wanted to add that the eggs in the muffin were absolutely cracking (no pun intended!). Actually reminded me of what an egg should actually taste like! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼”

  “"Absolutely disgusting — this Spoons has hit rock bottom. Table was sticky with old drink, had to wipe it myself with a napkin that was already damp. Floor by the bar was literally swimming in spilled beer — nobody mopped it the whole hour we were there. Toilets? No toilet paper, no soap, puddles on the floor, smelled like sewage. And don't get me started on the glasses — mine had dried lipstick on the rim, swapped it and the next one had a smear of food on the side. Spoons are meant to be basic, not filthy. Never again." ⭐”

  “Visited The Mary Shelley Wetherspoons while in Bournemouth and had a great experience. The food is exactly what you'd expect from Wetherspoons, great quality for the price and excellent value for money. But what really made this branch stand out was the staff. Everyone I interacted with was genuinely friendly, welcoming and attentive, It's always nice to be greeted with a smile and made to feel welcome. Credit to the whole team for their fantastic customer service. Thank you! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Bournemouth!”

  “It's a wetherspoons so you have the wetherspoons menu both drinks and food. You also have the standard Spoons experience where they don't hire enough staff so if it's busy you have to wait a while for anything. Inside it's quite a large pub with several different sections so you have the option of sitting where it's busy or sitting where it's more private. The toilets are clean but the tables are dirty. Again there simply is not enough staff to clean the tables between customers. You are quite likely to find the previous customers glasses and plates on your table and you are almost certain to stick to that table because of several customers drinks and food being spilt on it. The prices are very standard for a wetherspoons in a city centre. Ale and beer will cost £2 to £4 depending on what you want and it's alcohol content. Food hovers around the £10 mark for a meal and drink with some being a few pounds less and some being a few pounds more. There is a kid menu so families can go however most of the clientele seem to be older men with the occasional students dotted around. Trivia the locals know, The pub is named after the author of the book Frankenstein and it is opposite the church she is buried.”

  “Dreadful! First time here as we normally visit the other Spoons in town. Thought we'd try this one. What a mistake that was. Firstly the cutlery was dirty. Then when the food came the wrong sauce was brought over. Instead of fixing the issues, the male "manager" argued with us saying the sauce wasn't wrong. He went away and got the correct sauce but he still had to make a point that the sauce wasn't wrong. Then the onion rings were overcooked and black. See photo. Never again would we come in this Spoons. Bad attitude from male "manager" and poor food quality and cleanliness. Avoid!”

  “I absolutely love the restaurant chain Wetherspoon. I always enjoy coming here. The food is delicious, the portions are good, and everything is served quite quickly. It’s especially nice that the quality stays high no matter which location you visit. The service is also excellent — the staff are polite, attentive, and always ready to help. I also really like the atmosphere: it’s cozy and relaxed, perfect for spending time with friends or just having dinner after a long day. For me, Wetherspoon is a place where you can always count on good food, great prices, and excellent service. ⭐️”

  “I had such a lovely experience at The Mary Shelley Wetherspoon. As always, the food was amazing fresh, well-prepared, and absolutely delicious. The toilets were exceptionally clean and very well maintained. The hourly checks were up to date, which really shows how much care they put into hygiene. There’s honestly nothing to complain about. Everything was spot on, from the food to the cleanliness. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great food in a clean and well-managed environment.”

  “Great price at spoons. Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein. Buried at St Peter Church across the road. You know you get and what you pay for. Meal with a drink (soft) for £8. Taking a family of 5 for under £50 is excellent value for money. Service very good and meals come out fast. Always pop in for a quick breakfast.”
