Local to us and been many times , bar service is usually poor and have to ask to be served or they fail to spot 'who's next' , some evenings it's pleasant in there but it only takes a few local loud chavs to change that as has happened numerous times , Carlsberg currently at £2.09 is the only reason we still persist with this one .

Very nice Wetherspoons. Extremely pleasant and helpful staff. Plentiful range of beer including all the Ringwoods. Local drinkers were also friendly.

The staff spend more time moaning about the clients and partners than they do serving. Who's next? im the only one at the bar without a beer!!!

After eighteen months or so my review of this pub is due for updating. Very little has changed in that time. The beer, surely the 'raison d'etre' of any Wetherspoon pub, remains good. The choice is good, the quality remains as high, if not higher, than most pubs in the country. Yes, you'll get the odd duff pint, with up to 9 real ales on and lager vanishing like water in the desert, you should expect nothing less.
It's a Wetherspoon, a good one. The place is clean, the beer's plentiful and drinkable, the foods cheap but cheerful, kids run about, blokes get drunk, coffee clogs up the bar and there are never enough staff. What do you expect. Me? I love the place..........
My rating? 8

The real ale selection is confusing.
You see a wide selection of excellent ales only to find out that they are not on sale yet.
What's going on.
Surley if the beer is on display it should be for sale.
If the beer is good it gets drunk.
If it is indifferent or bad it shouldnt be there in the first place.

biggest selection of ringwood(marstons)ales i've ever seen on at one time in a spoons, nice enough pub but nothin to write home about, 7/10

Re my last review, the real ale has returned to something like it's former standard
|
As I have said before this is a regular haunt of mine and it truly goes against the grain to knock it. The quality of the ales served here is generally excellant.
But, over the last week or so that quality has dropped off. Not sure why, selling right to the very bottom of the barrel is my guess.
I don't suppose, or is it hope, this glitch won't last..........

This pub is one of my regular drinking haunts. I'm not a teenager, I miss out on that modern pleasure by some 50 years. I drink 'real ale', not to get drunk but to enjoy the beer, and in this area there is nowhere consistantly better, let alone less expensive. The present staff are excellent, friendly and helpful. I think isolated comments from 2006 should be ignored as out of date, and just that, isolated. After all, this can be a very busy pub and staffing problems are not the responsibility of those remaining to man the walls. By the way, 'bmth123' I was there.

Another Cheap weatherspoons, Except at night this one is FULL of youngsters all drinking for the sole purpose of getting drunk. Would not recomend this pub in the evenings

may have changed manager by now but we had a nightmare of a visit back in march. About ten of us went in for lunch, very little on the menu was available, the food took over an hour and fifteen mins to arrive and when we asked to speak to the manager the staff couldn't decide who the manager was --apparently three members of staff were sharing the responsibility!! Bizarre!
When one of the three came over (which took at least 15 mins because "they were busy") they refused to listen to our complaint. She refused to accept how long we had been waiting even though the time was printed on our receipt and was incredibly rude.
When the food finally arrived it was almost inedible.
In the end we walked out having paid for but barely eaten our meals and put the whole episode down to experience. The only reason we waited so long was because we were in a group and noone wanted to upset everyone else by being the one to complain. Never again!

this is a really good friendly pub with excellent staff and management. food for familys and social drinking on fridays and wkends. would deffinately reccomend go their above any pub in the area

If you having visiting friends or relatives this isnt as good as it could be.the doorstaff ask my grandmother to put out her cigerette as she stood by the bar or be asked to leave and when the staff called time we were asked to moved from the raised area at exactly 11pm to finish our drinks by the bar,but not smoke a ciggerette.we were reminded to drink up every minute.i could tolerate it for that night but wouldn't want my family or friends to experience the pub again.whilst we were there a middle aged man with his family was ask to take his austrailian outback style hat of as they do not allow hat wearers onto the premises.enter at your peril

The night jar is good to visit at lunchtimes, we often spend our lunch break there. The service is quick, the coffee is good and inexpensive, food reasonable for lunch. The sort of place a girl could walk in on her own and not be bothered.It needs a larger no smoking area though.

All that's poor about Wetherspoons pubs. No atmosphere and the local feral youth knocking back cheap pints of Fosters as quickly as possible. Worst spoons in the area.
