What dawnie g dislikes about The Gatekeeper:
The service at the restaurant was excellent. However, I personally felt that the establishment was not very clean. The bathrooms were dirty, and the staff did not clear our table of the previous diners' leftovers. Additionally, the prices listed on the app were cheaper than the prices on the menu at the tables. Despite ordering through the app, we ended up paying the same amount as the menu prices. I believe that the... View all feedback.

I enjoyed my experience at Weatherspoon. It's what I expected. Puts other restaurants away with their curry Thursday meals. Tops I'll come back for dinner and also the next time I'm here in Cardiff. Way to go guys. Top notch

Great Wetherspoons pub with 2 outdoor areas, which are handy if you want to sit outdoors. Love using the app to order drinks and food. I didn't eat on this occasion, but those with me said it was hot and tasty. Good atmosphere with reasonable prices.

Extremely busy, low staff numbers, waited 40 minutes for our drinks (2 x pints of coke), waited an hour and 15 minutes for food! Extremely hot inside, no air conditioning. Tables hadn't been cleared at all during our 2 hour visit. Staffing levels needs to be better, especially when events are happening! Food: 4 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3

We had our yearly veteran's meet up here yesterday as we have been doing for many years. At least 200 plus of us. One of your doormen was bang out of order, he literally pushed one of our disabled veteran's out and told him he was not allowed back into the premises all because the doorman was physically moving people back behind the barrier you have outside. Now i understand the barrier is there for a purpose and it was extremely busy. All the disabled veteran said to him was do you mind not pushing me to which the doorman became more physical shoving him outside. This is bang out of order and doesn't look good on the weatherspoons image. The doorman in question was mouthing off I'm ex 3 Parachute regiment so it won't be difficult to work out which one. He then proceeded to keep staring at the disabled veterans in an intimidating manor. This will be taken further up the chain. Absolutely appalling treatment.
