Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The actual burger tasted great and I really enjoyed it."
  • "Breakfast was very nice and hot."
  • "Good traditional breakfast, very good coffee."
  • "Kids pizzas were great and the fried buttermilk burger as well."
  • "The BBQ burger was delicious too, nice onion rings and good chunky chips."
  • "Fish and chips was great."
  • "The food is tasty and familiar. I have had pizza, burgers, and the fish & chips and none disappoint."

Cons:

  • "Be warned: Burger is the size of a kids meal, and cheese is not even remotely melted. For 12.95."
  • "The fish had too much oil at a moment I could feel the taste of oil on my tongue."
  • "The american double burger definitely looked like a child has tried to draw basic food shapes with an unsharpened pencil on a recycled paper sheet."
  • "Very little size of burger - almost like the ones you get at McD for a fraction of price."
  • "The burger was pretty cold and the onion rings were tasteless and gross."
  • "Chips were good, mushy peas lukewarm, battered fish just fell apart into nasty little bits when cutting it."
  • "Ordered the Mediterranean salad to be healthy but it was underwhelming."

Service

Pros:

  • "One of the better places in the airport. Prices are good compared to others and staff are very friendly."
  • "The staff here are very quick. 10 minutes maximum wait for food and they bring your drinks straight over after ordering on the app."
  • "There is a nice service to the tables if you use the scan code."
  • "Would like to mention a waitress Ashley. Our table no. was incorrect and she found us."
  • "Service was quick and friendly."
  • "Service at Weatherspoons was prompt and friendly."
  • "The staff were all very polite and helpful."

Cons:

  • "Restaurant is half full and it took an hour to get a breakfast sandwich."
  • "Staff hard to find to ask how long things will be."
  • "We are in a global pandemic and..... They don't clean tables."
  • "Staff were rude from seating."
  • "Rude and snippy when asked questions, left to clean the tables ourselves and generally really slow service."
  • "Very slow service, took well over half an hour for the food to come."
  • "The staff reserved my table, but it was occupied when I returned."

Ordering System

Pros:

  • "Easy system for ordering, quick service and great wifi."
  • "Used app to order and get table service. My beer arrived in a few minutes and my food in ten minutes."
  • "The Wetherspoons App is far and away the best way to order as it allows you to stay at your table and avoid the queues."
  • "Nice to be able to order from the app and not have to queue at the bar."
  • "You can order your meal by scanning a QR-Code at your table which is really neat."
  • "Our meals came out quickly and all together."
  • "Find a seat, install the app, grab table number and order they’ll do the rest."

Cons:

  • "You have to order by your mobile phone. It works, but it‘s not everyones choice."
  • "Bar code ordering didn’t work."
  • "I have an allergy (celiac), the menu on the app did not allow me to filter and the hard copy menu did not have a code to help filter out options."
  • "None of the QR codes worked for me so I had to order at the bar."
  • "App wasn't working, as a solo traveller it's hard to reserve a table and go to the bar to order."
  • "The app at the airport doesnt work, it shows error message that the payment didnt go through."
  • "Wasn’t told by any staff that you had to download the menu or order at the bar."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "Coffee, tea and hot chocolate, with unlimited refills for £3:25, a bargain!"
  • "Free refill for coffee."
  • "Food is not too pricey."
  • "Very well ran establishment and very friendly staff. I have been to 6 airports in the last month and unfortunately everyone of them is severely over priced. I would like to especially thank this establishment for keeping all the prices very reasonable."
  • "It's surprisingly quite reasonably priced for being in an airport."
  • "Very reasonable pricing considering it's within an airport."
  • "Prices are fair for being in Heathrow."

Cons:

  • "It is slightly on the pricier side especially for their drinks."
  • "Well over priced had the smallest portion of chips you have ever seen."
  • "Very overpriced for what you get. Charged a 20% gratuity to literally only drop the food off."
  • "Just a shame you have to pay airport prices for such mediocrity."
  • "Prices are really expensive but that's what you can expect at the airport."
  • "The prices are sky high as it’s in the airport."
  • "Prices are massively inflated due to the Heathrow captive market surcharge."

Ambiance

Pros:

  • "The atmosphere and decor is lovely."
  • "Although really busy we had no problem with getting a table and food was really quick, hot and nice."
  • "Close proximity to gates and shops along with an information board for departures ensures you can get your maximum amount of beer time."
  • "Good News: you can see one of the flight monitor, if you have a good table."
  • "In The Crown Rivers I felt almost detached from the various noises of the airport."
  • "Wonderful atmosphere of a softly lit pub."
  • "Great place to stop for a familiar bite to eat and a drink during a layover after a long haul flight."

Cons:

  • "Minus one star for the ropes between each till, corralling the customer into queuing in file at a pub, which has never been acceptable and never will be."
  • "They have a captive audience. Very busy. Very slow. Odd set up."
  • "Tables are a bit cramped together, but I guess needs must in a busy location."
  • "I appreciate it’s an airport Whetherspoons so atmosphere will score low but the effort in presentation was rubbish."
  • "A crowded and busy layout with not much room between tables."
  • "This place is a bit sad if you are there for more than a drink."
  • "Just your usual Wetherspoons, perhaps a little more cramped than usual."
