    The staff in this Wetherspoons are without a doubt the best 'spoons employees that I have been served by. Attentive, polite and very good at their job. The customer experience is extremely impressive. People are too quick to belittle this chain rather than praise it.

    I have now tried seven different Weatherspoons. First time in 2020 in Southampton. As a danish tourist, I have turned visiting Weatherspoon into a tradition. Food is not high quality in any of their restaurants. But the service was polite and effective. Food and coffee tasted just like I knew it would. The restaurant seemed to have a nice atmosphere, though not the best of what I've tried before. Let's see what the next one brings.

    Another classic Wetherspoons pub. Great to come in for a quick cheap drink or relax with friends. This is a classic location conveniently located near Victoria Station. Standard beer and spirit offering. Have to comment on how clean the tables were, better than the norm. Can't go wrong

    A really good spoons. Nice staff, including the bouncers who speak to you as you enter (doesn’t cost a thing but gives a nice impression!). Food was hot, decent quality and out in good time. No complaints at all.

    Good brunch. Busy for mid morning. Expensive for Wetherspoons but cheap for central London.

    Whenever we visit London, which is every few months we pop in here for either breakfast or drinks/food before coming home. It is a Spoons, but very different from so many. Staff have always been fantastic and genuinely look like a team and that they enjoy working together. Service is quick at bar or on the app and other spoons could look at this place as example of how. Clean tidy friendly etc. Well done all concerned.

    They don't clean the tables at all and my beer glass was dirty. I cleaned the table with my own wet napkin, the waitress saw it and did nothing. Just a public mass money making network with slightly lower prices than elsewhere in London.

    Busy pub just across from Victoria Station down from the Apollo. Great range of beers at keen prices with lots of food offers with drinks included. Not the place for a quiet drink but good for groups to meet and chat.

    LOOKING FOR A NICE/CHEAP PUB? I really liked this pub. It is located in a very chill and quiet place and the service was very polite, nice and efficient. The prices are very affordable and the food is okay. I would recommend this place specially for people who are in a hurry but still want to enjoy some time drinking and eating nice food. TAKE CARE!!! This wheterspoon has a limited menu and is not offering steaks nor fish and chips.

    Only gf food available is apple crumble with ice cream, not even got custard. The vegan pizza ordered by my friend was covered in unwanted veg n mushrooms. Why not just do a simple margarita? No hooch and ordering the 3 for 6.50 on smirnoff wanted to charge me 10+. Quite possibly the worst spoons I've been to and I've been to some really poor ones

    I've been here before a few times, however on my recent visit I wasn't overly impressed. It is a rather expensive Wetherspoons compared to others, a guest beer is £4.88. My local Wetherspoons (not that far from London) is around the £2.50 mark! Also the food quality wasn't great. The chips tasted like they were cooked in an oven - not fried - and were overdone. Plus what has happened to the Beyond Meat burger patty? It has halved in size! It is now more like the wafer thin McPlant served in McDonald's. Luckily this was ordered through the Student Deals offer on the app. I certainly would not of paid full price for it If you are going to charge premium prices, then you need to ensure that the quality, standard and presentation is up to scratch. By keep increasing prices on already premium pricing of standard Wetherspoons food, that is served up everywhere else in the country, really won't do you any favours in the longer term.

  • 2/5 the kenny f. 1 year ago on Google
    Whilst I appreciate this is a cheap eats and drink place the food was still of a poor standard Visited for late breakfast. All food was cold, hash browns not cooked enough, beans were stone cold and Eggs had clearly been sat waiting on hot plate. Bottom of eggs were like plastic and burnt. Asked for 2 fresh eggs which were fine. Bill was about 15 quid. Wish I spent another tenner and got better food elsewhere. Wont be heading back anytime soon.

    This is where I first ate on my first visit to the UK. They were very friendly and it was a great start to my trip to the UK. The food and beer were very good.

    One of my favorite breakfast places in the UK. This quality of food you can only experience in Weatherspoon and polish trains (WARS). Everyone should try the traditional breakfast here at least once. 4 stars for service bacause it should be a faster so the food comes hot not warm/cold. Free coffee refill. Ice cold beer.

    Burger is shockingly worse than McDonald's. I know it is cheap but really it is really bad. If you wondering why, look at the picture. I thought it was a kids meal to start with. It is a disgrace to American burgers.

    A good wetherspoons experience. The beer is kept well, it's near the station and near some very decent restaurants, good staff and the place is maintained nicely. The only downside is that it's a little small and could really do with an upstairs. Perfect to use up some time if waiting at Victoria and you want to get a drink or some food. Cheap and cheerful.

    Decent little Wetherspoons. Quite busy with it being close to Victoria, but usually manage to find a table to sit at when we visit. Usually has a decent range of craft beers and real ales on too.

  • 5/5 Steven J. 2 months ago on Google • 62 reviews New
    Decent pub for a meet-up, drink or something to eat. Very close to Victoria Station. Quite busy when I visited, as it was Friday and near end of working day, but was able to find a seat. Drinks prices very good for central London. Would recommend

    Good food for the price! I had a small burger with sparkling water for less than 8 pounds. Served quickly. Nice carpet!

  • 5/5 Lou R. 2 months ago on Google • 5 reviews New
    Fast, friendly service Good food. Visited Sunday evening, was nice to have somewhere familiar close to the coach station as I had a departure at midnight. Staff were all friendly. First time having a pizza at any spoons and it was really good and filling. Can't fault it for the price!

  • 5/5 Jl S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great pub in Victoria, in my opinion one of the best in the area, charging London Wetherspoons prices but not as much as some inner London pubs that make you bankrupt! The quality of food and drinks is good with no faults by from me, the staff were happy and friendly and very polite, the cleanliness was good for a Wetherspoons as some lack cleanliness, the tables weren’t sticky like most pubs haha. Treated myself to some pancakes with ice cream before I left and it was a great dessert not something I’d usually expect in a pub but I was very happy with it.

  • 4/5 Sarah C. 2 years ago on Google
    Kind staff, and a decent selection of drinks. Some of the ales on tap had run out before I could try some, but the selection of ales was good enough to find something I liked. It also was not too pricey, which can sometimes be a big issue in London.

  • 4/5 Vanessa Q. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice food as in every Wetherspoon. The menu is slightly reduced but food quality is good for the money. Nice people and service. Good atmosphere

  • 5/5 Detty van der W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for breakfast! ( and lunch, diner and drinks😊) Friendly staff. Food is perfect(lots of vegetarian and vegan options) and the coffee is great! Opposite of Citizens M Victoria and near Victoria Station.

  • 3/5 Ant P. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfectly handy spot to wet the whistle and just over the road from Victoria station. Discovered Abbott ale, which slipped down nicely. Cheers.

  • 5/5 PETER H. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice clean pub with friendly helpful staff. Kitchen area open to public view do could see what was happening..... Didn't eat but food l see being served looked good. Also good small selection of non alcoholic beers wine and spirits.

  • 5/5 Anna S. 9 months ago on Google
    Great place to hang out with friends and grab a snack. I wouldn’t expect that but this place offers tasty breakfast options for relatively low price. You get also free refills of black coffee and tap water. Of course some things could be improved but for this price there is no need to complain.

  • 5/5 david j. 1 year ago on Google
    Given its location (outside of Victoria station) this place was so so busy. A lot of the rugby supporters was here as well. Yet 17 of us ordered breakfast and their wasn't any delays in getting our food to us without any issues. Great friendly service !!!

  • 5/5 MATT K. 1 year ago on Google
    Popped in on the way to the Royal Albert Hall, with my daughter. Had the Freedom Breakfast and a coffee. My daughter had a Pepsi. The staff were very polite and helpful, the food bordering on delicious, and the toilets fully functioning and clean. As far as Wetherspoons go it's top echelon. If ever in the area again I would certainly pop in. Well done!!
