| I would have too agree with the last poster This place has certainly gone down hill since last time where I give it 8/10 now I would struggle to give it 2/10. Ive been here at least Three times in recent weeks and every time Ive had too return at least one Pint of Ale and consistently ask for other pints to be toped up after getting short measures I would not mind if it was only trainee staff but this was by the Duty Managers & Team Leaders according too there name badges. I also found the staff are very rude and arrogant with no manors or Please or Thank You at all as they seem too busy talking to the drunk regulars propping up the bar rather than want inconvenience of serving customers. The last time I was in only Three guest Ales were available and Two out of the Three Pints I tried were undrinkable and cloudy. It now Seems to be full of customers just coming in to eat the cheap food or buy soft drinks whilst other regulars stand near the bar getting well Oiled on Lager. There was not much Ale being sold when I was in again a few times over the last week probably why it not in the best condition. Lets hope it picks up again soon but I doubt it until theres a change of management as its been like this for well over a year now. Alesonly - 4 Feb 2012 09:54 |

| Not too bad for decent Ales as there was some excellent Guest beers on Tap when I went in Early on two previous times but thats the only good point. It was too full of screeching Kids running around whists the parents just sat there stuffing there Guts with cheap food and other idiots were shouting into the mobiles on my first visit in the afternoon. Then on the evening visit it was full of 18 to 21s drinking Alcopops Its even worse on Friday & Saturday Nights I'm told. One girl even Pissed herself as he sat there she was so far gone. Staff seem to treat & think Customers are a inconvenience and have that bad habit of asking who's next even though there was only three people waiting at bar?. I would not bother retuning just too go in there again even if I'm passing I think it needs a Older more experienced Management and Staff as it seems too be staffed by far too many youngsters working there and thats attracting all the kids.

| Don’t stand more than two feet from the till when you want to be served as the barmaids are on some sort of invisible tether that doesn’t allow them to work the whole bar. I’d also not bother if you are employed as both times I have been here it has been mobbed with students and the work shy. I’ll not be visiting this Wetherspoons again. Strongers - 5 Sep 2009 14:45 |
