    Great menu, food was lovely. Little concerned about the camera that overlooks the first cubicle in the Ladies toilets though! Surely this is illegally positioned. Photo attached.

    Location of the place is very well, many bus routes interlinks here. The size is very big but still not adequate enough for the amount of it gets busy. The environment is average and like most of other weatherspoons. Decoration is not very eye catching, average. Cleanliness is appreciable as it can be hard to maintain because of its busyness. Sitting arrangement is average and available both inside and outside. Customer service is between good to great. Ordering was easy. Time to serve food was decent. Food was tasty but a little over fried and serve quality was perfect.

    Nice big pub with great menu which was delivered incredibly quick! Love the refilled tea option too! Especially as I've given up drinking! My only complaint is the 3 mile hike to the ladies! (Loss of 1 star!) But I guess that's in every weatherspoon's! Staff are great and I can't believe that I didn't use the app! Must remember to try it next time!

    I came here for breakfast. Ordering is convenient through the app and the food arrived quickly. However, the sausages, hash browns and bacon were all rather dry. This was surprising considering I was among the first customers of the day.

    It's a great place to have a drink with friends, or Sunday breakfast with the family.

    What is not to like about the furze? The food served is high quality and over expected. The staff are friendly and everytime i have gone there , the toilets are as sanitary as can be. I love the “ask for Angela” system, and the toilets are spacious. The drinks are pretty lush with the juices and coke 😍 with a lime right on top! The outside seats are good too.

    Been to this spoons for ages for meet ups, pre drinks & family lunch. Sometimes il go alone after work, find a table & use the app. I usually avoid weekends as it can be busy & full of noisy lightweights nearly knocking your back seat at the table. I more go for food rather than getting drunk. They used to do the Aberdeen Angus 12oz steak but isn’t available on the menu anymore, so I order my chipotle crispy chicken wrap so I don’t have to go Nando’s across the road. :D

    Always a good night. Good food and drink at pretty much unbeatable prices, with helpful and friendly staff.

    What to say.... Food was tasty but presentation was pretty poor. Egg slapped on top of other wasn't a good look mushroom bit underwhelming. Large breakfast £5.90. lavazza coffee £1.35 free refills. Waiting staff get 5⭐ very polite and prompt ✌️

    What's not to like (other than some of the customers). You can have a beer festival without moving. Great beer, great prices, good food

    Spacious and comfortable place to sit, weather you're out with some friends or wanting to focus into your laptop while charging your phone. Like all Weatherspoon, the place has a strong Wi-fi provided by 'The_Cloud'. Get a large coffee for only 95p, and I highly recommend purchasing an Ale for less than 3 quid, and a nice cold glass of pinot for less than 4.

    This is a long, skinny branch of Wetherspoons, located in the centre of Bexleyheath, near the marketplace. Personally, I prefer nearby Welling's Wetherspoons, namely 'The New Cross Turnpike', because the layout is nicer and it has more of a historical ambience. The service is OK, ditto the food - typical 'Spoons fare. The toilets are clean enough. My mum likes going there with her mates for the bottomless refills!

    Nice lunch with my son, service was very good, bar staff were, good, nice and welcoming. Food was ok, it could have been better, but it filled a hole.

  • 5/5 Sandra P. 4 months ago on Google • 84 reviews
    Had fish and chips, fish had too much batter. Peas were cold. But it was nice to catch up with friends. Was great as toilets were on the same level, no walking up stairs.

    This is definitely the best meal I have had at Wetherspoons. The staff were really friendly and the food came out quick! It was delicious and very good value for money !!

  • 3/5 Sienna F. 7 months ago on Google • 21 reviews
    Very busy today wow! The server was amazing and the food was fast however we were given a children's burger instead of the adult one that we ordered. Everything was fine, but the food was slightly disappointing. The pasta was drowned in tomato sauce and of course the burger wasn't the one we ordered. But all in all I still would recommend it as cheap, easy and fast.

    Great place to have a traditional breakfast with the family on Sunday morning. Perfect perfect portions and prices. Helpful staff and lovely atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Toni H. 5 months ago on Google • 19 reviews
    This Wetherspoons is in the heart of the town in Bexleyheath. It was great to a hear a trumpet player as we pass to get to the pub. It was so busy at approximately 2pm. We were not sure we would get a table. However, we did. Food was great, served promptly and in perfect condition. Tasted great too. The drinks were served on a tray by staff who were more than polite. Great day overall. I reckon it was busy because there isn't any negatives about it. Can get loud but started to tone down around 3pm. Toilets were clean. There is a fire in the middle of the place. Makes it feel all warm and cozy. Was distracted by the alarm going off without any direction on what we should do. Other than that great.

    Had a medium gourmet steak. The only good bit was the peas. The steak was too tough to cut, and my food went cold by the time I did. Chips were soggy, onion rings were overcooked. The service was quick however so good place to come for drinks. Unfortunately, there were insects flying around where we were sitting as the table hadn't been cleaned.

    Popular at weekends, large spoons pub with two small outside areas to sit in. Friendly helpfully staff, great choice of drinks and cocktails at a very reasonable price. Food is what you would expect from a spoons, decent size portions served in 10 minutes to your table buy friendly and happy to help staff. Pub was very busy when we visited with our hevily disabled friend and children, the door staff opened the doors and helped our disabled mate in while being patient and respectful of there independance, bar and waiting staff were very patient and attentive despite his speech issues and taking a small eternity to get his order out (pretty much deaf as a post and struggles to talk when in loud and crowded places with a very strong stutter) Left happy after several of hours, food, deserts and many many drinks. Staff 10/10 good kind and polite Cleanliness 10/10 toilets were clean and tables were cleared, mess was picked up periodically when noticed and bar was not sticky. Atmosphere 10/10 Mix of young and old, family's and groups of friends. No sign of drunks, beer fued stupidness or gobby teenage turnips. Well worth a visit with the family if in the area, parking is not so great around the pub for low mobility or elderly people as we had to park in asda 300m away (were not from the area so there may be closer places to park but pub had no parking that we saw but that is expected in a high street pub. Keep up the good work. See you all soon.

    Walked in and found it busy but found a table. Used the Wetherspoons app to order. Drink and food came quickly. It was well cooked and hot. Polite and friendly staff. The toilets were clean.

  • 4/5 Angie L. 1 year ago on Google
    My husband and I are regulars at the Furze Wren, the food and drinks are always fantastic value, the staff are friendly, and the toilets are even on the ground floor! BUT, we do have one minor issue... Every time we eat there, which is quite often, the staff appear out of nowhere and attempt to clear the plates away - whilst we are still eating, still chewing, still holding cutlery, still food left! Seriously, this doesn't happen sometimes, or even most of the time, this is EVERY SINGLE TIME! They launch themselves at you, reach out to pick stuff up whilst uttering "Can I take/clear the plates?", "Errr, no, we're still eating!!!" Talk about eager! Back off, you're doing a great job, the tables are cleared and cleaned very well, but please wait for the customers to finish eating before pouncing!!

  • 4/5 Julia C. 1 year ago on Google
    Was busy, the tables didn't seem very clean. The food was okay but the baked beans were cheap ones, aldi beans are better. The food has been better before and the same with the drinks.

  • 5/5 Cani S. 5 months ago on Google
    This occasion, I went for the American Style Breakfast which was 4 pancakes with bacon, 2 poached eggs, 2 hash browns and 2 sausages. That was a good combination. Also, not forgetting unlimited refill coffee all for under £8.50. Good breakfast at the Weatherspoon Bexleyheath.

  • 5/5 Scott P. 5 months ago on Google
    I recently visited this pub and had a very nice experience, food and drink very good and affordable prices. We sat in a booth area away from the main bar. Very nice, I would definitely recommend a visit.

  • 1/5 John C. 1 year ago on Google
    steak was dry, watery and oily. jacket potato was dry and small. got a refund beer tasted watered down, filthy tables and floor a place for drunks only

  • 3/5 steve A. 1 year ago on Google
    It's not bad the young Staff are pleasant and try hard to please its the older experienced staff that need to loosen up a bit and smile occasionally would make it more welcoming Could be a lot cleaner It's seriously in need of new flooring the carpets & chairs are minging

  • 5/5 tracey B. 11 months ago on Google
    I wanted to try this new Spoons. I wasn't disappointed. Great new venue. Great staff. The usual food. Had the fish & chips which is always good. I wish they would add a few new items. That's the only criticism.

  • 5/5 Paul 6S G. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff are pleasant, beer is good price. Food is adequate and well priced. Always enjoy it here

  • 2/5 vladamir c. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a wetherspoons. The food is ok but the building is in need of a clean and for tables to be wiped down between people or to provide wiping spray and tissue. If things are coming in parts that should be communicated.

  • 3/5 Fox `. 1 year ago on Google
    Any spoons pub is functional that is all. Furze is a cavernous pub, the family seating is to the left as you enter, right are booths next to the wall down a couple of steps. The long bar can be chaotic use the *app* to order and be patient. *Beer* quality is OK even as a real ale person I refuse to drink the bitters, ales and crafts usually poor compared to what I am used to lets say its passable if you have to - I choose a merlot instead just bias to higher spec beer and that support local breweries making sure they are paid. *Food* - come on it is jazzed up ready meals again it is just convenient / functional nothing special I tried the vegan curry once and a pizza very much ready meal quality barely passable but I ate to keep the peace. *Toilets* gents are usually clean, yes guys miss the urinal it happens stand closer please! Soap, yes, hot water yes, hand driers, yes. However!! Use sanitiser after as a few exit the stalls without washing their hands phew! *Essential* Stop here for a quick refresher while shopping or if your missus is spending three hours choosing a pair of shoes! You know guys it happens and what a perfect excuse to duck out of that hellishness! Cheers and good health!

    It's cheap and cheerful. Quick service. There is plenty of seating. An extensive menu.

  • 5/5 Arun S. 1 year ago on Google
    As spoons pubs go. This would definately be in my top 10. I had the empire burger. It was freshly cooked very hot. The chips were also fresh. It was the best meal I have had in a spoons for years. Value for money too. The drinks are half the price of those in Central locations. The pub is always packed. Yet it never appears to slow the speed in which orders are prepared and delivered. The staff are friendly also running around. None of them ever look stressed or unhappy. This is fast becoming my favorite pub. Which is high praise considering I've been going to the Knights Templar for almost 20 years.

  • 5/5 John W. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a 'spoons, what can you say? It was BIG and pretty much full when we were there. Staff were nice and efficient. The Guinness was good and the Doom Bar was as well.

  • 3/5 Eron R. 1 year ago on Google
    Cheap and cheerful. Big pub. Usual Wetherspoons menu. Mixed bunch of clientele from the all-day regulars to the "nipped out for a cheeky wine" lunchbreak ladies. Not bad as a Wetherspoons goes. Never managed to get a clean glass whenever I come here though!

  • 5/5 Gordon B. 2 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    There is a reason I am a regular here. It's a great place with lovely staff. Only gripe is cleaning the tables. I very often sit down at a table and it's sticky from the previous customer's beer.
