  “It was a busy Wednesday lunchtime here whilst other local pubs looked empty. The wouldhave seems to have got it right. We sat outside for a lovely scampi and chips with a cold beer 🍺 fancy glasses! Then retired inside for a couple of unlimited hot beverages. Great experience agyer a wander around Arbeia. Oh, and I laughed at the queues at the bar!! Why not use the App. Much easier and quicker!!”

  “Great food, generous portions, all well cooked and well presented, AND served nice and hot. Very impressed with this Wetherspoons- it’s gotta be one of their best!”

  “A bit rough and ready. Meals were basic pub ones. Desserts were a bit better. My husband had roast Mediterranean with jacket potato very uninspiring. I had sticky Korean chicken with rice. That was it no vegetable with it. Very lacking.”

  “Lovely place. Very affordable and they have lovely staff. The outside seating has just been updated and is very comfortable. There is no music but there is still an atmosphere.”

  “Nice enough Spoons off the main drag. Not an historic building but done nicely with a good friendly atmosphere. Had my benchmark fish and chips. Everything piping hot but the batter was a tad overdone. Service was excellent with staff regularly clearing tables (one of the faults at many Spoons).”

  “9.30am and already a few people in having a pint, no bother, just sat quietly discussing horse racing. I went for a coffee (£1.85!!! And I think its refillable 😀). Cute outdoor area. Service was perfect, admittedly hard not to be when there was no one else to serve and all I asked for was a coffee which I had to fill myself. But for £1.85 no complaints!”

  “I really like this spoons! Breakfast was hot and good value and the unlimited coffee warms my ice cold heart! No huge queues and served quickly by the lovely bar person. Service was top notch, they are very nice in here, the team work hard but they are chill and down to earth and are easily approachable. The place is clean and has a good atmosphere especially in the morning/daytime. I don't make a habit of frequenting spoons nowadays, and never at night but the last couple of times I've been in here for food it's been lovely.”

  “It's a spoons and polished at what they do. There is food for literally everybody. The prices are great and the service was quick. The location is great and just off the high street. We were lucky to catch a sunny day and the outside area was awesome.”

  “Overall good value with friendly staff. Does the job for a quick drink and bite to eat. Food - chicken salad was ok, a decent amount of chicken however had a weird texture you get from it being reheated. Kids sausage and chips were a good size and no complaints. Ice cream and brownies for desert were ok. Service - ordering through the app always seems to work well at Wetherspoons, this time was no exception. Drinks arrived very quickly with food not too far behind. Staff all friendly. Atmosphere - Sunday afternoon so a varying mix of people (families, couples etc). Plenty of staff cleaning tables and serving. Good value - looks better on the inside than outside. Good size (paved) beer garden to the back.”

  “This is the largest Wetherspoons I have visited. It's a very large open plan old building where you can see the food being prepared as well as having huge outdoor space which enables them to split it into a smoking and non smoking area. Bravo, as a non smoker this was brilliant to find on a very warm and sunny day and made my visit far more pleasurable. We used the App to order food and I was pleased to see several new choices on the menu as I am not able to eat the burgers due to something in the mix (possibly cooking oil or spread but it tastes really funky). I went with a chicken shawarma wrap with chips. It was fine. The chicken pieces were very small compared to a 'real' shawarma but it was definitely spicy and tasty enough. Staff and service was excellent, nothing I could fault there, they were polite and helpful. For a random Tuesday lunchtime it was fairly busy. I can imagine this place heaving on an evening and would be far too busy for me, but I would happily visit again for lunch.”
