Food was disgusting and staff service was crap

Decent scampi, chips and peas. Order came with garden, not mushy peas, apart from that, brilliant.Only got 4 stars, as not really my kind of place.Food was hot, and proper scampi, not mushed up fishy bits.Drinks and 2 scampi and chips for just over £21, can't really grumble.Parking: No parking nearby.Wheelchair accessibility: Bouncers fetched out a ramp for the 4 steps, bit steep but manageable.

Visited post and telegraph for lunch, was very busy and we went up stairs as downstairs tables were either occupied or piled high with uncollected crockery. Tried to order on app but it wouldn't work so went and ordered at bar. Food arrived fairly quickly and was ok, naan bread with curry was a tad burnt on bottom and rice could of been warmer. The place needs a good clean and more staff clearing tables no tables were cleared away the whole time we were there which put people off. Toilets were clean though

Don?t bother!!! Called in for a quick cheap family meal as we were hitting ?danger zone? (if you know, you know!) which would have been great if the whole family?s meals were put through the till! Instead, I got the pleasure of watching my family eat as my meal was ?forgotten to be put through the till? clearly four meals at once was too big of an ask! As it took so long to find out why mine was missing my family had finished their meals by the time I was told this wasn?t out through but I can just go reorder at the bar (with no apology!) ??

Very busy which was to be expected. Some items from the menu were unavailable. Two of our three meals were great, however the BBQ chicken pizza was incredible. Just like someone had poured BBQ sauce all over it and chucked on a load of cheese chunks! Really odd.The staff were really great. They must have been stressed as there were people and small children everywhere but they were smiling and giving great service to everyone.

Cold food, missing items, dreadful service and unapologetic staff. It's understandable that mistakes happen but when they do you expect staff to at least own it and make more of an effort, not just drop the missing items on your table 15 mins later without a word. And you expect that food to be at least warm not stone cold. So much went wrong on this visit that I most definitely would not eat here again.

Normal spoons. It's only good for a cheap beer like others I've been to better. No atmosphere, boring, but I have given it 4 stars instead of the normal 3 because of the chicken wings I had. They were probably the best wings I've ever had. Even better than wing stop.

Usually busy, tables are not cleared quickly so creates a backlog of people unable to sit down . Nowhere to have a smoke under cover. Food and drinks usual spoons stuff. Ren used to busk outside, cool to see where that happened.

Decent food and drink for a Spoons. A little on the busy and rowdy side but that's to be expected

I've been to the Post and Telegraph many times, mainly because it's near to an old friend, who can easily toddle to it from her flat. But also because - as most of its faithful clientele knows - it serves a good range of wine, beer, and spirits at very, very reasonable prices! So, if you fancy a bottle of beer (but wine by glass only), why pay more?The P&T offers you a cheerful, no-frills, cheap drink and food experience. My chum and l ate medium rare steaks with Mediterranean salad, a third pal had the Katsu chicken with rice, and we had a total of 4 White Zinfandel rosè, and one Heineken (no Peroni available that day). It was all perfectly good, and the whole lot around £35, although we added a gratuity for our cheerful server - one of the many truly helpful staff.It's also fine to bring kids, although they won't be able to see outside much, unlike a lot of family-oriented places, and yes, it is usually pretty loud and noisy! Once you accept that's how it is, l can say l've never had anything but very nicely-cooked food, served efficiently.

My favourite of the 2 spoons in the city centre, it is spacious and never as busy as The Bright Helm. Service is speedy even when on the app. However, if you're ordering for yourself, you might as well go the bar as it's always quicker. Furniture is dated, and the room gets dark in some spots, so it can sometimes feel dingy at times, but this shouldn't deter you from visiting.

By far the worst Wetherspoons experience for me nationwide. I ordered Ham, Egg & Chips. The egg had two pieces of shell stuck inside it, the ham had a piece of blue plastic on it and the chips were severely underdone. To drink I had a pint of Guiness which was terrible. Afterwards I decided to wash it down with a raspberry vodka and lemonade which was served with a slice of lemon which I didn?t want or ask for, in a chipped glass. Full of scummy football supporters throughout.

I recently had the opportunity to visit Wetherspoon, and overall, I had a pleasant experience. Wetherspoon is a popular chain of pubs in the United Kingdom, known for its affordable prices and relaxed atmosphere. Here is my review of my visit to Wetherspoon.First and foremost, the atmosphere at Wetherspoon was welcoming and laid-back. The pub had a casual vibe, making it an excellent place to unwind with friends or enjoy a quiet drink alone. The interior was clean and well-maintained, with comfortable seating arrangements and ample space to move around. Whether you prefer a cozy booth or a spot at the bar, Wetherspoon provides a suitable setting for everyone.One of the standout features of Wetherspoon is its extensive drinks menu. They offer a wide variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages to cater to different preferences. From ales and lagers to spirits and cocktails, the selection is impressive. Additionally, they have a commendable range of non-alcoholic options, including soft drinks, mocktails, and even non-alcoholic beers. Whatever your beverage of choice, Wetherspoon has something to satisfy your thirst.When it comes to the food, Wetherspoon offers a diverse menu with something for everyone. Whether you're in the mood for a classic pub dish like fish and chips or a hearty burger, or even a vegetarian or vegan option, you're likely to find it here. The prices are affordable, especially considering the generous portion sizes. The quality of the food was decent, although it may not be gourmet dining, it's more than satisfactory for a casual pub experience.One of the standout aspects of Wetherspoon is its value for money. The prices are reasonable, especially considering the central locations of many of their pubs. It's an excellent option if you're looking for a budget-friendly place to socialize, especially in areas where other establishments can be quite expensive.The staff at Wetherspoon were friendly and attentive. They promptly took our orders and were helpful in answering any questions we had. Despite the pub being relatively busy, the service was efficient, and we didn't have to wait too long to receive our food and drinks.However, one downside worth mentioning is that Wetherspoon can get quite crowded during peak hours, especially on weekends. This can lead to longer wait times and a higher noise level, which may not be ideal if you're seeking a quieter atmosphere. It's best to plan your visit accordingly or consider visiting during off-peak hours if you prefer a more relaxed environment.In conclusion, Wetherspoon offers a pleasant pub experience with its welcoming atmosphere, extensive drinks menu, and diverse food options. It's an excellent choice for those looking for an affordable and enjoyable place to socialize with friends or grab a drink after work. Despite some potential crowding during busy times, I would highly recommend Wetherspoon for its overall value and relaxed ambiance.
