Cons:

  • "Place was big and open and seemed to loose some atmosphere."
  • "It was incredibly packed and there were some uncomfortable bouncers on the door."
  • "Like a lot of weatherspoons, ok for a cheap drink and quick if uninspired meal in the daytime. But worth avoiding at night when it descends into a pint and a fight and meat market atmosphere."
  • "Christmas eve afternoon it was very busy two people appeared to be serving found a table that was full of dirty glasses that were not removed until about two hours later when i complained thought it was really bad."
