Fantastic well kept real ale. Food good, service was spot on, better then almost all wetherspoons i've been into, friendly staff well kept place, clean toilets. a nice family pub.....shame it's in Thornton Heath!

A hideous, nasty hole of a boozer. Inattentive staff, poorly kept beer and a strange smell. Clearly a "local pub for local people". Best avoided - go to the Telegraph up the road if you want a beer in the area.

Having used this pub on occaisons over the years, I was utterley bemused about a change of policy form family dining. At 7.30 in the evening it is now unacceptable for anyone under 18 to eat. I was yold that this is now national policy - no mention on the JDW website. Iwas told that tthere was a notice on the door - this only refered to the childrens menu 'suitable for up to 10 years old'. The youngest of our party was 16. The duty manager tried to fob me off with changes to the law, children certificates etc. This does not explain how most proper pubs serving food manage to be far more welcoming to all.

Ugly looking building, and a whole platoon of smokers lurking outside the front door. However, once inside, it turned out to be a perfectly serviceable (if unexceptional) 'spoons. Bar staff were efficient, the tables were clear and the real ale festival beers were a bargain £1.69. The Port Grumpy's Pale Ale was fine. Really not too bad.

I'm no weatherspoons fan, but this palce seemed to be better than most. Initial impressions weren't great, with the pub stuck in the ground floor of some concrete monstrosity of a building and the bar was filled of the standard array of drunks wasting away their days.
However, the staff were incredibly friendly, the Abbot was as good as any I've tried before and the food, which I was told would take 10-15 minutes, was with me in less than 5.
I don't doubt that it would be a different story on a match day (Plastic glasses. Eugh!!), but today I had an enjoyable weatherspoons experience for a change.
