| Packed out on a Saturday night. Sat out on the balcony. There were signs up saying no smoking on balcony, but loads of people were smoking. Not nice when you are not a smoker yourself. Drinks cheap enough. Variety of customers - young and old. SuperWoman2011 - 18 Apr 2011 16:25 |

| Pleasant building in the town. Staff busy and place tidy though ,as always, they could have been quicker to serve instead of filling up cups & bottles. Beers from Cottage/Weymouth/Wyre Piddle. Had two meals off the value list which were promptly served. Leicesterbeer - 22 Feb 2010 15:23 |
| If you've seen one Wetherspoons you've seen them all. After quite a flourish when they first opened, the brand seems to have gone slowly downhill over the years. You have to give them credit for restoring back into use some lovely old urban buildings, but most of the JDWs I have used recently looked like a good lick of paint wouldn't go amiss and maybe a re-refurb might be in order. We're now used to underpaid, but well-meaning staff struggling to cope at a crowded bar. Dirty glasses piling up on sticky tables. Lukewarm food gradually becoming less good value for money all the time. 'Spoons was always cheap and cheerful, now it's barely cheerful, though I suppose they do still offer afternoon specials like Fish & Chips with a cuppa for £2.99, presumably aimed at pensioners. On the bright side, all the beers I tried (Abbott, Summer Lightning and Pedigree) were well kept and poured and obviously incredibly cheap though I did notice that bottled beers such as Leffe were not quite so cheap. So, if it wasn't for the cheap beer would we really bother with JD Wetherspoons anymore ? keystone - 26 Jan 2010 17:03 |
