Pros:
"Prices are low."

"Food had been kept hot or microwaved for too long."
"I settled for giving him a J20 instead which is very slightly cheaper meaning I was technically overcharged albeit only by 22p."
"Staff weren't able to cater for the table orders, had to request drinks we had ordered as staff were very busy."
"Food stone cold no excuse as they were not busy some tables still dirty parts of floor had bottles of sauces under the table and went to sit at tables to find they had no number would never go back there."

"What an absolute dive. The most drab depressing weatherspoons I have ever been in."

"It arrived eventually but the gammon was so salty, and they explained that it was ‘salted gammon’, it didn’t say that on the menu but it was obviously overly salted."

"The darkest of the Spoons...I think it needs different lighting to make a better experience."
