Decent enough pub, my only critisism is that the barstaff tend not to notice who has been waiting to be served, the beer [I had Robinson's 'Iron Maiden Trooper' ] was kept well. Smoking area at front of pub.

This is a Wetherspoons, so I needn’t go into great detail about what it’s like, it’s not much different from all the others. However, this is one of the better ones.
A few step at the entrance lead you up to the level of the bar. There are some high tables with stools on that level, but most of the seating is at tables back down at the entrance level, and under a canopy outside.
There are 12 handpumps, in 2 banks of 6. On my visit there were 7 guest ales available, plus a “US craft ale” and one more “coming soon”. I had a very nice pint of Coach House Gunpowder Mild. Pricing was reasonable at £2.20. IO didn’t eat there, but noticed that the menu was (for Wetherspoons) rather pricy.

A decent Wetherspoons on the main road through Southport town centre. Crowded late last Saturday afternoon. Many diners and shoppers and a large group of loud girls some sporting hair curlers. A good number of ales available. Worth a visit.

Interesting building with an equally interesting history. Standard Wetherspoons fare but a nice range of guest ales - I stopped for a couple. Has a CAMRA Corner for all the local news and the staff were prompt and efficient. Didn't mind it at all.

Nice building on Southport's main street and containing a better than average Wetherspoons. Beartown Brown Bear & Bearly Literate, Coach House Post Horn & Cheshire Gold, Greene King Abbot & Ruddles Best, Thwaites Wainwright, Saltaire Blackberry Cascade & Phoenix Wobby Bob were the ales on offer, with Saltaire Blonde & Titanic Iceberg coming soon. Broadoak Perry was also on tap. Not the biggest of Wetherspoons inside. But the usual characters were present. A reasonable choice in Southport.

Not a bad weatherspoons - staff friendly if slow and beer kept well. Food is OK.
|
Not the best W'spoons in the world. I'd avoid eating here. Good beer range though and good location for going on a sesh. Interesting pictures charting local history make for good reading if there's no breaking news on SSN.

Quite small for a Wetherspoons. Was delighted that they had Cheeky Pheasant from the George Wright Brewery which they kindly let me have as a drink choice with my curry. I have noticed some of the negative comments by previous posters but I found the staff friendly, efficient & the place was reasonably clean.

Amazing lookin exterior but not that big inside so a bit deceptive.A nice relaxing atmosphere though with top notch well kept pint of guest ale,and the service was fast and friendly, 8/10

Both beers I had in this Spoons and one I had in the other (Lloyds No.1) were in really poor condition. The place is filthy too.
Almost as bad as the Spoons in Banbury.
|
Excellent selection of guest beers (although served a little too cold). Good service. I don't very often make positive comments about Wetherspoons pubs but this is one I'll definitely visit again.

Dirtiest pub in southport. The floor is always covered in discarded food and the quality of the food itself is quite poor. It is cheap though and known locally as Sup'n'save. No smoking policy is good, but a no chavs policy would be better

Now named "The Sir Thomas Seagrove",has been "done up",now none smoking (after conversion all wetherspoons become none smoking)
|
Deteriorated over the last 12-18 months, I feel the menu and the quality of the food is based on the location and the fact that during the season they will be busy come what may, Many meals are obseverved to be returned, the presentation is slapdash, A great shame as was at one time a great town centre pub....
