Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Don't think the barstaff (Freya) knows how to smile! Ordered a pint and got 3/4 had to ask for it to be topped up which she did with bad grace. Worst service I've ever had in a wetherspoons pub

The room was too cold. As usual, the air con wastoo cold. My wife’s baked beans were equally cold. I ate the mixed grill easily. Tiny portions of meat, no onion rings, about ten chips. I was still hungry so had the fish and chips...and the smallest portion of mushy peas imaginable. Surely the fish is the expensive item. Why is Wetherspoons trying to save money on cheap things like chips and peas?More

I was so disappointed this time as my plate was cold when it came and my food was very cold soon after, I didn't eat it and spoke to a waiter who just laughed, I said it's nor funny and when I write to Tim...Martin he wont be happy. He just left. Not good at all, another woman said hers was the same. You can't serve hot food on a cold plate.More

This is a Wetherspoons and so the drinks are great value for money, the staff were very friendly but no idea why someone can’t sweep the outside and generally tidy the place up. It could be so much better.

We went for a lunchtime drink, they had a good selection of drinks and we enjoyed the ones we ordered. Having seen some of the food they were serving, we decided to go back later to dine. The food we were served could have been...much better. When the food arrived at our table it wasn’t hot and the egg on my mixed grill had what can only be described as a skin. The reason for the food not being hot could partly be my fault as I originally gave the wrong table number. When I realised, I did go back and correct it and a minute later our food arrived. If the food had been stood due to the table mix up I caused, surely they should have realised and re-heated the food before serving it. We were asked if our food was alright and I did explain it was cool at best etc. We were offered a replacement egg but I declined as we were in a rush. To be honest, we should have known better, as food in Weatherspoon’s as deteriorated of late. Family and friends that have eaten at different Weatherspoon’s have all noticed the same. We assume that they are trying to keep within a price point or increase profits or both.More

Food was excellent for the price. Setting is big and maybe a little tired but hey value for money is great. Everything you would expect from a Wetherspoons. Staff were nice and friendly.

no there is no carpark, although there is a large main carpark situated off the high street, which is approx a 5 min walk away.
