  “Im afraid to say this isnt one of the best weatherspoons and we have visited quite few up and down the country. The decor was in need of refurbishment and the food was not up to standard. I had fish and chips. The fish was very thin compared to other spoons and the chips seemed as if they had been kept warm under a lamp. Needless to say. We were disappointed.”

  “Was served a few days ago by the blue haired girl at the bar. No sense of professionalism and seemed almost hostile towards myself and my girlfriend. She asked for our id 3 different times before finally getting us our drinks. My girlfriend works for a different spoons and is entitled to discount however the staff lady refused to give it saying she doesn't believe someone like her would get hired! Please talk to this member of staff about being kind and respectful towards customers as we also witnessed her sighing and rushing a man who was struggling to speak only to end up walking away and refusing to serve the man.”

  “There is one guy called Jack who is absolutely amazing. We are regulars and he is always really friendly with us. I’ve heard that he has just been promoted to manager. I’m sure he will do a fantastic job! Well done Jack and thank you for always looking after us!”

  “We visited Paignton for a four day break this week and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Each evening we went to The Talk Of The Town for a few drinks and a meal to follow. This place really needs special praise for lots of reasons, the food is gorgeous, the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and we must mention one staff member in particular ( Jack ) who served us on one particular evening and he was so friendly, so thorough, and boy did he cover some miles but kept smiling the whole time. Also the bar staff serving are very efficient and polite while remaining very aware. The atmosphere in this pub is extremely friendly and we always felt at home. As for the food the wife had bangers and mash and I had a loaded baked spud which were both out of this world so here comes the question which does bug us both ( and probably others too ) ?. If you pass a garage who’s fuel is a few pence per litre more expensive than another garage nearby you will obviously choose the cheaper one so why sit in other pubs paying through the nose when you can pop in to a Wetherspoons for super food and drink prices. The business model of this establishment is incredible.”

  “Average wether spoons with friendly hard working staff who get meals and drinks out in good time. Like to mention the young girl with long hair and glasses who was particularly good, very efficient and friendly. Unfortunately the same couldn't be said of the manageress who usually had a miserable face and wasn't particularly friendly, felt sorry for the staff having to work for her.”

  “Three of us called in for a bite to eat before the England football on Sunday evening. So a 60 year old a 57 and a 42 so not young and disrespectful, here is our honest opinion/rating of this witherspoon. Tables were not wiped down,service was slow at the bar (had 5 staff on that i could see) the food came out and the trays the onion rings were in was on top of the garlic bread with cheese, so was stuck to the pizza, the two pizza's which were ordered were doughy and under cooked. The pomperdoms had fat/grease dripping of them. So for us yes who have visited many Witherspoons this is one to give a Massive Wide Birth And for Atmosphere well we all said is our heads hanging off as we were constantly being watched looked up and down. So it's a mega no from us”

  “A good place to eat very reasonably priced. We enjoyed our meals but not much choice for gluten free.... wish the chips were gluten free but they have a coating of wheat on them. No new potatoes as a side which would help.”

  “This was a great pub for drinking, with stylish lights across the interior's design! Flamingo models are also a solid fit and counter is well-presented, staff were welcoming themselves. I had a pint of Guinness at comfortable outdoor seating, cleanliness was decent yet could be better.”

  “The venue it's nice and clean. Staff friendly and helpful, the service is good. You don't have to wait long for your orders, the food is tasty. It is close to the train station and close to the seafront and pier. Definitely recommend and will come back next time. Thank you. Regards, Andrea.”
