| This is one wetherspoons where you will not get a good pint of ale. The beer is usually stale and badly kept. I suspect this is because it is mainly a lager drinkers' pub. The staff are a bunch of useless spiky haired wombats and there has been no obvious sign of an adult there to manage them whenever I have visited. General atmosphere of squalor and barely supressed violence. Jay28 - 10 Apr 2008 11:00 |
| was wondering if it was ok for a male bouncer and male manager to follow my girlfriend and her friend into the tiolet wen the club was empty? after saying i want a piece of that wen i we were stood together. then started getting violent wen they saw me stood outside the tiolet waiting for them to come out safely. is there a law against it because if i was not there what could have happened?? stevens02 - 6 Nov 2007 22:48 |
| As a plymouth lad,ive called in this place on a few occasions,if your a real ale man/woman,dont go in here,the duty manager is never around,if they have a cellarman they dont know their job,it a truely awful experience going in here,the main stay of the staff are students,who generally serve their mates from the uni before you.As a member of CAMRA ive had run ins with the staff in here on more than 1 occasion.The ale festivals that wetherspoons run in here are a waste of time,in the in-house magazine,wetherspoon pubs state the ale of their pubs should be served at between 11-13 cent,a glass of real ale in the union rooms comes out at the same temperature as the lager thet sell between 2.0-2.5cent. I strongly recommend ale drinkers to call in the mannamead or brittania if they want to go to a wetherspoons for a drink and something to eat,both of which serve real ale at the correct temperature and they change their ales very regularly.I just wish the staff at union rooms payed attention to their jobs and deliver to paying customers a service that they deserve,instead of clowning around,serve you when they see fit,serve luke warm food and have attitude problems,oh yes,and get the ale sorted out,i cant understand for the life of me how it gains a cask marque certificate.very very poor!! avoid this place if you can. mattchapman - 21 Sep 2007 08:35 |
| I was a visitor for the Plymouth beer festival and called in on the Thursday when looking for the festival venue. This is a poor Wetherspoons. The tables were disgusting. I had to move plates and glasses, then found the table itself was so sticky and grubby a cloth must not have been over it for days. There was a poor beer choice for a Wetherspoons, considering the town would be full of beer tickers for the festival. We were going to have a breakfast on the Friday there, but considered it too dirty a pub on the customer side to take a risk with the meals from the kitchen. gillhalfpint - 15 Aug 2007 09:04 |
| I think by now that most people who walk through the doors of a Wetherspoons establishment can safely predict what will ensue. I admit that I like many aspects of their formula, despite it being the absolute antithesis of genuine, individual pubs of character and atmosphere. On previous returns to my home city, I always found a trip here to be enjoyable - the service quick (and notably friendly), the place itself capacious and remarkably clean. Sadly my visit last Thursday dispelled all previous experiences. From the moment I entered, that patented Wetherspoons 'stale vomit' air freshner was apparant throughout the pub. Most tables were strewn with empty glasses or plates. And this was midday. Upon reaching the bar I was ignored for several minutes, despite it being quite obvious that I was next in turn. As is the apparent Wetherspoons principle, there were far too few staff. I was only served by virtue of another customer telling the young lady on the bar that I had been there before her. Having eventually been served, I repaired to a stool on the second level to enjoy my beer which was, in fairness, a very good pint of Directors. I was then glowered at by an obviously upset local, who seemed intent on inflicting Bodily Harm on me. We stared each other out for a while, and then he threw up on his stool and left. Nice. I made haste towards The Bank, a few minutes walk away, which was a far more enjoyable experience. pccmp17 - 17 Feb 2007 15:27 |
