I visited this bar when it first opened and i have to say it's now worse. The food is still it's usual self but surprisingly not bad. I had a lovely pint of ale but the name escapes me as someone actually stole my case with my notes after i went outside to use my phone (and it was at my feet) still It what you get if you drink in this type of bar. Full of men and women who by the looks of them would look better sitting on the green with a bottle or two of mateus rose or white lightning.

Spoons + Catford = well, it's not going to equal a decent pub. Why bother go somewhere else for abeeter pub and better beer.

Typical JDW pub this one is very gloomy,beer ok most
of the staff are very friendly the food has greatly
improved over the last few weeks,although not the best place to take kids for sunday lunch due to the
language from a certain few drinkers which the managers seem to ignore.

Much like any other Wetherspoons, really. The atmosphere isn't bad and the staff are pretty friendly.
|
My lunch time local OK for a cheap pint and the odd leaving do. Agree that there is often a shortage of staff behind the bar but one superb barmaid does the work of three. Tables are often sticky and the whole pub now needs paint and refit. Not sure what the regulars will do when smoking is banned as nearly every punter seems to like a puff.

A flat supermarket type JDW conversion. Lacks character and atmosphere. Often quite busy without being too packed. Most popular tables are those near the window as the interior can be depressingly gloomy.
|
I agree that the tables are often dirty. The main problem with this pub is the lack of bar stools, meaning that you HAVE to sit at a table. However, a pint of Guinness was just £1.59 when I visited in November '04...which is not to be sniffed at.

Standard Wetherspoon's fare. Staffing can be an issue, but usually possible to get a seat during lunchtime. Very difficult to get seat at night - very busy.

Wetherspoons cheap prices and variety, gets packed to the rafters, tables often dirty (too busy?), always short of staff (anyone want a job?), real ale normally kept ok, lots of old gits, lots of young gits
