| Had quite a pleasant night in here with chums - until I ventured to the lav. I usually brace myself for the 12-inch thick waft of stale Monday club wee, but what I encountered was far worse. A gent from overseas origin was hogging the sinks with his array of “pour homme” fragrances. I thought this poor homo (me) has to now avoid washing his postpiss hands or be subjected to a base exchange about targeting the wetness between women’s thighs with a new found “get jiggy with it” whiskey courage. My whole night was ruined, knowing that the khazi was now out of bounds thanks to the shudder inducing presence of a lecherous bog troll. Hang your heads in shame Wetherspoons, take this middle-leg cut-eyeing upstart off the payroll and let punters arc their Fosters in peace. badgerballs - 10 Feb 2012 17:29 |
| The service is very poor, slow and reluctant although some staff are better than others. The attitude of some of the staff is really appalling and as someone who used to run pubs and bars, based upon my experience here I would never employ anyone who'd worked at Wetherspoons - it would be quicker to train someone from scratch than change so many bad habits. By early evening the toilets are stinking, often blocked or just not working at all. The little garden at the back is a lovely mature garden and gets plenty of sun. I considered it a haven (being a smoker) until, the other day, when over a period of a few hours I saw a huge rat making several journeys along the wall towards the kitchen. The garden doesn't seem so heavenly now and I won't be eating there again, not that I'm a fan of their food anyway. This Wetherspoons has the usual advantage of cheap beer but all the disadvantages of the chain (impersonal, sloppy service, poor quality food etc.) seem to be magnified in this particular bar. jandango - 18 Oct 2011 18:07 |
| certainly serves a purporse, but always feels a bit grubby (bit like most of the clientele) not one of the best wetherspoons, breakfast has been below standards of others solihullmaniac - 10 Apr 2011 17:18 |
| Another visit yesterday and had a pint of Brentwood Gold 4.3 % and another pint of Charlie Pecks at 5.2% which makes 3 ales brewed by the Brentwood Brewing co. Last year I remember they had Clockwork Orange by BBC at 8 % but have not sen it since. hogshead - 23 Feb 2010 20:34 |
| Beers on Sunday today included Winter warmer by Brentwood Brewing co an another dedicated to a local guy at 5.2% it is nice to see local beers on sale. Service is quick and a pint is full so no complaints. hogshead - 21 Feb 2010 20:38 |
