Facilities

Pros:

  • "Clean, nice environment, fancy toilets (though they didn't all flush)."
  • "The facilities are well kept as in most 'spoons."
  • "Plenty of space, cheap drinks, friendly staff, very busy, space for wheelchair users."
  • "The bathrooms are very clean."
  • "The usual seating options available but with probably more high tables than anything else - except there is another room around the back."
  • "It's facilities are good."
  • "Nice clean venue, children friendly, cheap deals on food and drink."

Cons:

  • "If a fire officer inspected it they would find a hook on the inside to lock the door, this means that there’s no quick access from the outside if needed."
  • "The only downside is the toilet is rather a lot of stairs up, not sure if they have a disabled toilet anywhere."
  • "It's facilities are good but no wheel chair access to the toilets."
  • "No toilet paper in the disabled toilet at 10am."
  • "The place can be cleaner though, as things can get really chaotic during a special game."
  • "Only negative is that people let their children run around like it's a playground not a restaurant area."
  • "Finding a seat that is not near someone who smells like they have not showered in a week is more difficult."

  • "We just had to walk out of the restaurant as we were made to wait 20-25 mins just to take our order."
  • "The service was very poor."

Food & Drink

Pros:

  • "Delicious cheap food as always."
  • "Food was basic but good."
  • "Beer range is good but tastes like the lines are never cleaned."
  • "Good food and beer, prices very good."

  • "I have been served pink chicken on two occasions. Found hair in my pizza."
  • "Food was okay didn't feel like much care went into it though."
  • "Food was absolutely disappointing. Asked for mushrooms, bacon and beans. Only received 2 tiny, barely there mushrooms."
  • "After my order I received my day breakfast about 3 mins later with a very dried up sausage and egg and dried stuck to the plate beans."
  • "Was enjoying my food until I found a hair in the food went up and complained to see that nobody was wearing a hair net and the waitress was playing with her hair while holding someone's plate of food very off putting."

Ambiance & Location

Pros:

  • "Good night out good prices only let down by not enough tables but I guess this is due to size of building."
  • "A VERY GOOD PLACE TO EAT AND DRINK."
  • "Good seating and great ambiance."
  • "A nice hang out in the area with Wi-Fi."
  • "Excellent ambience."
  • "Leave Woolwich Arsenal DLR station, turn left, cross the road, there is a square about 50 yards ahead, take the diagonal path, across the pedestrian crossing is the pub, less than 3 minutes walk from the DLR station."
  • "Great Harry is my local public place where friends and family often go to meet, eat and drink and have fun...this place brings wonderful touch to Woolwich Town Centre..."

Cons:

  • "On a weekend evening has that Feel that everything is about to kick-off, so can be a little uneasy place to be in."
  • "Some of the crowd this pub attracts is quite rough."
  • "It was a fraction more expensive than my local Wetherspoons but I was told that's due to it being a franchise and its location."
  • "It's a tad more expensive than other Spoons. Two TVs with news on and one with Sky Sports."
  • "For a family place not very welcoming crowd seems rough throughout the whole week."
  • "Sadly, it attracts a lot of middle aged (or older) men who drink way too much, become aggressive, harass women and cause fights outside."
  • "The pub seems a little rough on the edges, but least it had proper pub feel."

Value

Pros:

  • "Good place too visit for great value as always in a Wetherspoons."
  • "QUICK SNACKS OR EVENING MEAL ALL ARE THERE JUST ASK."
  • "FRIENDLY STAFF AND A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE WHAT EVER THE OCCASION."
  • "It has pretty good east London prices."
  • "The price in this place is so low it's staggering."
  • "All tasted good and really affordable."
  • "For the money I still feel this is the best."

Cons:

  • "Cannot believe that immediately following England's win the bar stopped serving because people were being to loud."
  • "When major games are on they change from glass to plastic cups and the plastic glasses used are not full pints but you still have to pay full pint prices this is all without warning plus if you already have a glass they will just come to your table and switch your drink into a plastic one."
  • "I ordered a Stella Artois, but got palmed off with some other lager."
  • "What was very annoying was a very high pitched loud sound made behind the bar every time someone place an order from their phone."
  • "We ordered fish and chips and we got 2 dark oiled small fish."
  • "Food came out within 5 mins of ordering, that's how long it took to reheat the dried chicken in the 'Gourmet' burger without a brioche bun."
  • "Have been going here for years and it just keeps declining further and further. Had to leave today as the eating area smelt like a toilet."
