"A red haired member of staff was kinda rude."
"Waited at the bar for 3 or 4 minutes, was not even busy, staff stood around chatting."
"Shocking customer service where it seems OK to ignore customers patiently waiting and serve people who have just arrived at the bar."
"Food was cold when it arrived at the waitresses were too busy chatting to notice, no check back was done."
"The usual standard of Aberystwyth Wetherspoons, staff behind the bar more interested in chatting with each other than serving the customers."

"The steak was amazing!"
"Food was hot and beer/wine good."
"The food is fab, staff friendly and they can handle a full house easily."
Cons:
"Ordered a veggie breakfast and my friend ordered eggs Benedict, they didn't have ham so she changed her order to a normal breakfast both came without hash browns and mushrooms which they didnt inform us they didn't have and it was cold."
"The traditional breakfast was served barely luke warm and horror of horrors the plate was stone cold."
"Had what they called scrambled egg on toast. Two rounds of flannel bread, no butter and what looked like one egg beaten to death with a stick."
"bought the American cheese burger, outside of the top-bun was burnt, meat tastes like plastic and the chips tasted like Asda oven chips."
"The bottom of the chicken was really tough that it couldn't be cut or chewed, it was like rubber."
"Sadly the food isn't worth much applause. The meat was fatty or dry and the chicken burger was disappointing with a measly serving of chips."
"The burger was dry and there was a fruity farts worth of chips on my plate."
Cleanliness and Atmosphere

Location and Accessibility
Pros:
"The location is perfect but mobility access isn't great."
"This is my favourite weather spoons pub. It's got so much character been in the railway station and platform under traditional glass covered seating."
"A quite spectacular building in a very convenient location next to the railway station."
"It's a great meeting place so close to the train station...it's literally on the platform."
"The unique ambiance afforded by the railway station setting (you can see the trains and platform from the eating area) makes this a great pace to take families or meet up with friends for food and drink."
"Located next to both bus and train station, and across the road from the shops, you couldn't be more centrally located."
"Great wetherspoons in a great location."
Cons:
"The mobility toilet was filthy and its seat was covered in God only knows what."
"We saw no dogs allowed signs by the front door, so we thought we would go round to the station seating area, yet another no dogs allowed."
"It's a little cramped for stick users so wheelchairs would struggle."
"Was followed upstairs by a member of staff who watched me struggle with my walking stick until I reached the floor the toilets was on."
"One bad point is the main entrance has a step which isn't great for wheel chair users."
"Disabled entrance to the rear through the back seating area inside the train station."
"Told at 8.45 PM no children after 9.30 PM as we had my 16 year old son with us on family night out."
