I was in here last week for the first time in ages....

...and I waited 10 minutes to get served and then walked out.

It was even that busy, but a group of 4 students all decided to order food seperately and then each paid by debit card!

Other people waiting to get served got agitated and the 2 staff couldn't cope and started to panic and served a several queue jumpers first, even though one barmaid had earlier acknowledged that she could see I was waiting.

Sort your staff out please Wetherspoons. I've been to a couple of your pubs in Chester and York and the service there is excellant.

Pretty typical 'spoons, although the beer in this one was better kept than many I've been in.

Agree with the beers that have run out still being advertised - 3 different ones that I asked for on this occasion! At least what I did get (Inveralmond Thrappledouser) was well kept and very enjoyable.

Usual complete failure to adequately staff the place (business rules dictate that I guess, shareholder profits come before punters waiting a while to be served!), but the staff that were there I found friendly on this occasion.

Convenient for Lime Street station, and cheap as you would expect - acceptable food for the prices.

Everton were playing Wolves and this place was crammed full of football fans, atmosphere bordering on ruckus but more interesting than the Welkin or Fall Well. The service was my greatest grievance, I was served politely by a blonde girl behind the bar and was then served by an obnoxious woman who more or less refused to give me 10p change or even for 5 minutes give me my half that she'd hand-pulled, leaving it on a side and refused to acknowledge me. It was only when I told her I wanted to speak to the manager that I got a response and change thrown my back in my hand. Completely disgusted I necked my half of Peerless Crystal Malt and walked out. It seems if you get the right staff, you'll enjoy it here if you like noise.

Oh dear - that same old "typical" Wetherspoons experience was in abundance this evening!

I went here to see what fine ales they had on for their Great British Beer Festival. I spotted the Wadworth "125" Stout and ordered a pint...

"Sorry, it's gone"

There was another tasty looking stout 2 pumps down (forgotten the name)

"Sorry, that's gone too, so has that, and that, so you can only have that one"

I had "that one" (a light ale with a strange name) which was very nice. But, at least I was reassured by the barman that the ones that had "gone" would be replaced "by something else soon"!

If "it's gone" then don't advertise you have it!!!

Last few visits here have been okay.

They now permanently sell Thatchers Gold, Westons Marcle Hill and Westons Organic cider.

And they still serve 5/6 ales but as other people have mentioned, you ask for a pint and get told "sorry, we've ran out of that", so you ask for another and you get the same reply!

It's handy for Lime Street station but don't come in here when it's busy or you'll miss your train. Even when it isn't busy you can wait for 5 minutes to get served by the one bar maid who conveniently disappears when it's your turn to get served!

They should have a seperate till for serving people buying food and tea and coffee - in fact all Wetherspoons should!
