No longer a Spoons.
Is now much worse, if that is possible.
|
Its a Spoons and its in Mitcham ...... so not good. Having said that its where I go for a beer cos there's nothing better in the area. Moving out soon .......
|
walked in and walked out,poor selection of guest beers.dont like pubs where the locals eye you up.
|
Good wetherspoons pub.Beer was good and one of the cheapest spoons around.
|
Wetherspoons in Mitcham that initially looks quite small. Although there is a larger drinking area to the right hand side, where I took up residence whilst viewing a comical game of darts that nearly ended prematurely when the partially sited competitor lost his dart after it conveniently lodged itself in the carpet some distance from the board. At least it provided some entertainment. Beers on were Bath Hefeweizen Hare, Moorhouses Ruby Witch, Butcombe Adam Henson's Rare Breed, JW Lees Moonraker, Svyturys Baltijos Red Ale, Tree Thirsty Bear, Cambridge Heather Ale, Wadworth Blunder Buss & Theakston Double Cross IPA. The real cider was Sandford Orchards Strawberry Lane. All in all a good ale selection and probably the best choice in Mitcham.

Has now been redecorated.

havin a big revamp... good pub to drink in no trouble, but very quite, some fit bar maids too
|
Grim. Been twice. St Patricks day 2010 one of the bar staff stopped a black girl coming in the door and shouted 'this is our pub' at her. Very nasty, and looking round I realised, a bit late, that yes, everyone in the bar was white (downright weird in this area). Place clearly has a reputation and people steer clear.
Only other time I went in was when we had the snow day and I walked into Mitcham for groceries. Popped in here to get something to warm me up and use the loo. Waited so long for service (bar staff on their mobile) I just used the loo and left.
Could do with a coat of paint too. Doubt I'll go back.
|
just like the McDonalds next door it manages to be the worst example in the chain for miles around. Fond memories for me from when I lived in Mitcham but this one has always been a bad one
|
this pub is a shit whole!!!! the ugly bar maid nicky is the most ugliest woman i have ever seen! watch it ladies she will have ur man she aint fussy!!!
|
Could do with a refit,(decorate) both inside and out. Change the manageress as she (Carol) is so rude.
|
Full of pikey tosser who have been barred from other boozers. Rat-faced barwomen has a hooter the size of the hubble telescope!!!.
|
Did I mention the bar staff are flipping ugly!!!!
|
This place is dire. The barwomen? lets call them rat-face, square-face, and back-of-a-bus-face spend more time chewing lemons than pulling pints. Rat-face had chefs trousers on yesterday so avoid the food.I've seen her fella; he spends most of his time in plaster so god knows what living with her is like! I don't think John Terry would even touch her, size of her hooter. The beer is woefull too, but lets face it look at the sour pusses who are pouring it! Fugly is not descriptive enough!!. Rat-face gets in the poppy for a moan....whoever dyes her hair should be shot. although is was probably her...the five pound an hour wages cant take her too far. specially with that layabout she's shacked up with.Tim Martin should hang his head in shame..how blind is he employing those ugly sisters...DISGRACE.

this pubs needs to be given a second chance. its still a JDW but now has pleasent staff, a good menu smaller than the normal /jdw but still good. The real ales available are excellent today there were 2 guest ales and one mild as well as pedigree abbot and ruddles at 99p. its clean and tidy but could do with a bit of money spending on it. so give it another go!
|
a tad better than the kings arms opposite, opens at nine in the morning for those with a real thirst on.cheap eats and drink, allright with a couple of friends in tow but for a night out take a newspaper.
|
VERY nice barmen, lots of great nights in this pub! could do with a bit of music but I agree with flirty!
|
top pub, top barmen, cheap drinks, much merry making... love it!!
|
Nothing spectacular. Popped in while passing. Bit of a small establishment. Typical Spoons atmosphere, old men and gents with massive beer bellies escaping the wives on a Monday eve...
The area outside is a court and is quite dark and dodgy. Would have to keep your wits about you
However, some nice guest ales.
|
Visited this crazy "Stripey" pub on a sunday lunchtime. Service was good with friendly guy behind the bar.We had a nice lemony guest ale each, and lunch in the small back courtyard.Food was fine 4 spoons, and once again the girl who bought it out was friendly too.
Usual old blokes Spoons clientele, but other than that not a bad offering from JDW at all.
My Rating 8/10
|
Actually, when this pub was called the Buck's Head its only attraction was the stripper on a Sunday lunchtime....
Now it's a large, uncomfortable, awful place with bad service and full of drunks who've been in there since opening time.
Avoid.
|
This pub is a dump.
|
I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. The family area is okay but sparce. There are no extractors to talk about so you have to walk through a smog when entering most times. The gents toilets smell and invariably run out of toilet paper. Not a good advert for JDW. I will let you know if it improves. I reported this to JDW just over a week ago.
