3.7 / 5 (7167 reviews)

Description

Located in an old theater with a modern twist, this Wetherspoons offers a lively atmosphere popular among students. While the drinks and food are commendably priced, the service often leaves much to be desired. Complaints about rude staff and inconsistent service overshadow the venue's potential. On the positive side, the spacious layout and outdoor seating make it an inviting spot for casual gatherings. Although some managers are praised for their professionalism, lapses in customer care from certain staff members can detract from the experience. Overall, it remains a favored choice for affordable dining and drinks, albeit with reservations.

Usual great range of beers and cheap satisfying food. Lovely venue, an old chapel and theatre. Well worth a visit if in the area.

I wish to state I started drinking in this pub before this individual was born!! The problem was simple but became a battle of wills. A member of staff served me a hazy and undrinkable pint of Real Ale. When I complained, he said he didn 't understand, so passed it to a colleague. This colleague involved the rottweiler (aka Duty Manager) who was rude and aggressive telling me the pint was meant to be hazy. Incorrect, she then changed her tack, saying it was checked that morning, obviously not very well!! In the end, after I told her to just refund it, she patronised me by saying if I ask her nicely(her exact words), she would give me another one. She then stopped halfway through pouring it and sarcastically said, are we going to have a problem with this one too?? Rude and unnecessary but just by our previous exchange, not surprising. This young lady is well out of depth on many fronts and thinks she would be best suited to something, not in the public eye. Love Wetherspoons but only the good ones!!

Cheap beer and grub with a good selection. Very good, hard working and professional managers in Lola and Sophie let down by some of the blokes who are lazy and more into chatting and high fiving each other than customer service...manager needs to get a grip!

The customer service at this restaurant is extremely poor. Some of the staff are incredibly rude and seem unwilling to serve us, displaying very moody behavior.
