Cons:

• "Like most wetherspoons understaffed and dirty table sticky food on the floor, menus dirty and stained not a good sign gives you an idea of overall cleanliness."
• "Oh dear, what can I say... Well the smell is the first thing you notice when you walk in. Smells like drains/toilets which isn't nice when you're eating."

• "Be warned. The downstairs coffee machine has been out of order for at least two weeks, so you have to traipse upstairs. Great for those who can't do stairs."
