    Coffee was great and free refills Breakfast was terrible ! Cold and cheap ingredients! Butter just dripped out the carton so no butter for the toast ! Sent back and wish I'd got a refund ! Will not be returning for breakfast as was so disappointing I left half the breakfast so waste of money and time

    Went for Dinner yesterday, my son wanted a quorn wrap, when he got it he moaned there was sauce on it ( he never eats any sauce) The manager (I think) asked if everything was ok I said ahh my son is just upset that’s there’s sauce on his wrap, this guy only went and got him a fresh wrap with no sauce! What a star! Thank you so much.. so thoughtful.. thanks again.

    Happy and helpful staff. Lighting levels were very low for a lunchtime. Had a lovely cuppa tea.

    I generally like Wetherspoons and having one open close to me at an out of town location was an unexpected but pleasant surprise. I read that Covid cost the business a fortune but it has hopefully turned that corner and seems to be getting back on track. Paying for a round of drinks in a more traditional pub made me realise how lucky we are to have Wetherspoons as an option and long may that continue

    Had sunday breakfast. Very nice with unlimited coffee. I actually had a pint of little John at 99p. A bit naughty of me with breakfast but very enjoyable

    Been here a couple of times, but on this occasion . Rated poor only on disabled toilet being locked was told to ask for key but no signage . No access for first floor without using steep staircase.. on the whole disappointing

    We arrived very late and I was very stressed the staff kindly arranged a nescafe coffee free on the house as the coffee machine has just been my company I've been caught in traffic from Leeds to Nottingham taking 4 hours and set up to it was very much appreciated we stayed into the end of the evening many thanks Suzette Harris

    Decent Wetherspoon pub, a bit like the Tardis. Thought we would struggle to find a big table when I saw how it looked from outside but was fine, we got a table for 10 people easily! Obviously the food was pretty standard but the wait times were a bit long.. maybe that has something to do with the Forest-Leeds match that was taking place just a few hours later at the City Ground

    This place is always busy. It has a good atmosphere and plenty of places to sit! The free man Is a good place for dinner or a drink with some friends, at a very reasonable price. They also serve breakfast in the morning which is very relaxed and tasty! They have other beverages available such as cordial and soft drinks, they also do a refillable coffee cup for around a pound that you can refill with any selection from their coffee machine all day long. It has a back beer garden for people to sit and relax in nice weather or for people who smoke or vape to use. Overall this place is a good night out and a family-friendly eatery!

  • 4/5 paul b. 1 year ago on Google
    A good spoons with friendly service. I had a margarita pizza with a London Pride ale for £8.25. The pub has an average sized beer garden and quite a few books to look at

    It's a Wetherspoons... what more can you say. Always have some decent Real Ales on tap. Staff are great.

    Lovely fish & chips, beer cheap as well, can get busy, outside spaces rear & front, close to shops

  • 3/5 Michael C. 1 year ago on Google
    The food looked good but I only went in for a Sunday dinner and unfortunately it wasn't on the menu so my family ate but I didn't

  • 4/5 Shaun M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great value as you would expect from a Wetherspoon's, but the food was nice too. Best chips I've had in a good while 👍

  • 5/5 Anne W. 1 year ago on Google
    We ate from the breakfast selection, a mixture of traditional english and American pancakes. All our food was hot and tasted great. Air conditioning was on and also needed this morning.
