What Men U doesn't like about The Spirit Merchant:
We ordered two 8oz gourmet steak meals - one rare and one medium. Both steaks were tough and chewy, with most of the meat left on the plate. The jacket potatoes were acceptable, but the tomato barely saw the grill and was not cooked. The salad was average, but the salad dressing was not good. There was no olive oil dressing available as an alternative. We usually visit Wetherspoons for food, but we will not be orderi... View all feedback. What User likes about The Spirit Merchant:
this place is a good value for money, although prices have risen a bit. eating is super fast. no longer than ten minutes have to wait! very friendly and beautiful staff. they have an outside area for smoker and non-smoking. they have exterior and on the back outside is a covered area when it rains. the best value for coffee and its really good coffee machine. pay £1,20 for a cup and fill their boots with it all day.

I ordered a burger and fries, and paid almost £2 extra for a dipping sauce. The bun was stale and the patty was small. I would not purchase it again as it barel...

Great value, enjoyed our lunch, prompt and efficient service.

Wetherspoons offers an intriguing dining experience marked by both delightful and disappointing elements. Patrons have reported inconsistencies in food quality, particularly with gourmet steaks and burgers, often highlighting toughness and inadequate flavors. On a brighter note, many commend the establishment for its excellent value, friendly service, and quick meal preparation, especially during themed nights like curry and fish and chips. The recently expanded breakfast menu also receives positive mentions. While some meals may disappoint, the affordability and ambiance, coupled with friendly staff, make Wetherspoons a go-to for casual dining with friends and family.
