Cons:

  • "Very busy tonight and again had to clear away our table. Food as always good, fairly fast service but staff could of been alittle more pleasant."

  • "The food took 55 minutes to arrive. When it did it was hot and delicious. At busy times don't think you can pop in for a quick meal."
  • "Very busy when we arrived at 1820 hrs. Usual system of ordering food from the bar after selecting your table. There didn't seem to be any staff to clean and clear our table, but a waiter did it straight away when we asked."
  • "Been four times for lunch and have not been disappointed, only downside is that the tables are not cleaned and made ready for the next customer when cleared away, have had to ask for the table to be cleaned."

  • "Very friendly and keen staff. Food is excellent and the beer. Well worth a visit if you're hungry."
  • "Amazing space, the downstairs is probably the largest area of any of Liskeard's pubs. Unlimited coffee refills make it a good place to wait for people."

Cons:

  • "Food came very quick even though it was busy but my steak was over cooked and the peppercorn sauce was disgusting."
  • "Normally really pleased with Wetherspoons meals, but we were a bit disappointed with our meals on Sunday 13th March 2022."
  • "The burger was awful! Dry and very overcooked! The chips also need changing, not very appetising at all! Now at home with severe stomach ache!!!! Very disappointing!!"
  • "Food was pretty bad....the burger tasted only of charcoal and was burnt and dry....were on way to funeral and not local to area so didn't have time to stop and complain only time to quickly get food down and then locate where we needed to go."
  • "Food recently had been awful, some items overcooked and others not cooked enough, not sure what's going on with this place atm as it used to be quite nice."
  • "The food is dreadful, I have given this place a few chances to eat out local to my home, I have ended up with jippy stomach on 3x occasions."
  • "Had a steak, the pepper sauce was disgusting not many chips but saying that I complained & bought me a fresh plate...rate for flavour 4 out 10 don't think I will be going back for a while. Disappointed."
  • "Food always comes out different or wrong. Today the garlic nans didn't taste of garlic at all but just nan breads dripping with oil. But the desserts were nice."

Atmosphere and Location

Pros:

  • "It's conveniently located at the town centre and it's beautifully decorated!"
  • "Great outdoor seating areas for sunny days. And last but not least a good pint at a very reasonable price. Well worth a visit."
  • "Got a roof terrace that's good in the summer. Car park is close."
  • "Boiling hot when we visited Liskeard, so air con was a blessing. Good outdoor space with a lower and upper terrace and plenty of room inside."
  • "This is a beautiful pub that appears to have had a recent refurbishment - huge seating areas and a lovely little suntrap outside garden area."
  • "Saying that this one has a roof terrace and a small beer garden, which give it some more plus points."
  • "Amazing space, the downstairs is probably the largest area of any of Liskeard's pubs. The booths have sockets complete with USB ports for charging your devices, and dimmer switches for the lights."
  • "A good looking Wetherspoons with a rooftop garden. Not the most scenic view but definitely different. Fast service with the app, better than most recently."

Cons:

  • "It was a fairly busy time of day and grey out so the roof terrace was unused, unfortunately."
  • "Normally a good pub but this visit was shocking. Most clients had to clear the tables before use as dirty plates left on all available tables."
  • "Rude management, reduced menu due to the heat.. informed this is national. Believe me it isn't because I phoned and checked other establishments in the wetherspoons brand."
  • "Staff are friendly. The food was ok. It's wetherspoons, so don't expect gourmet. Very loud man holding court whilst we were in. Spoiled the chilled vibe of the place."
  • "Door men are ridiculous. Staff are so so depending on the weather. Food average. But you are limited in Liskeard so its more about liking or lumping it."
  • "Awfull gangs of rough looking guys congregating in groups of 20 no social distancing and staff not saying anything to them, we had to move away as we were being crowded and intimidated, the place should be shut down, plus the food was rough even by spons standards."
  • "Staff not helpful at all says not to help yourself to condiments but we’re told it’s over there so had to get it our selves, meal came to table didn’t get asked if we would like any condiments so had to wave over another member of staff."
  • "Very busy, good food, be prepared to help yourself to sauces, etc. Table was dirty, as was the floor beneath but that was due to very busy staff and the previous customers trashing the table and leaving a huge mess."
