At The Captain James Lang, experiences vary significantly, reflecting the dual nature of this popular Wetherspoons venue. While many patrons praise the excellent service and friendly staff, particularly during busy hours, others express frustration over long wait times for drinks, inadequate cleanliness, and inconsistent food quality. Issues with coffee machine reliability and beer cleanliness have been noted, alongside complaints about missing meal components. However, highlights include quick food service, particularly for breakfast, and commendable staff efforts. Overall, while the atmosphere and value are appreciated, potential diners are advised to manage expectations regarding service consistency and cleanliness.

Fantastic service Great friendly staff But having to cue for a coffee, only one machine working very slowly, lots of people complaining staff trying their best. Wetherspoons seem to be running down these aged coffee machines, but whilst you do, you are loosing customers. I recommend this place highly if coffee machine works, if not head for your breakfast somewhere else

Awful. We know it's a Wetherspoons,and therefore an atmosphere vacuum already,but you would think that it'd be possible to get a pint that doesn't either taste of soap,metal,or some other horrible thing. I ook one back and the fella immediately offered me something else.so that's good. However, I disnt expect the second pint ro also taste off. Tennents is almost always reliable everywhere. Not in here. We had avoided Wetherspoons pubs all through covid on principle,ad rhe owener is a horrible man.we only went back in as the Counting House is obviously more expensive. We shouldn't have. If we do go back itl be bottles,cans or spirits only as the beer lines are not cleaned or looked after properly. Clearing the used plates from their beer garden is also far too rare,and massive seagulls are prowling and swooping for grub constantly. We have had food many times.decent,bad and indifferent. We know it's cheaper,but it should still be eatable/drinkable. Avoid. Unless you are desperate. Back in the beer garden along the street with a proper pint now.chesrs

Something has changed here, now on our 4th visit and each time food has been great but staff have also been amazing. Won’t lie over time it hasn’t been great here but keep doing what you’re doing guys as you are nailing it and beating your competition hands down. We will be coming back as not only do we know what we’re getting but we can afford you!! Recent local other restaurants are not matching the current financial crisis but their standards have dropped see you soon!!
