Wetherspoons
Well what an interesting name for a pub this is indeed and it feels about as imaginative inside as it does by name. The place is a rather large room with a semi-circular bar at the end, set out in an open-plan style with booths accross the right hand side and non-smoking tables on the left. The bar is well stocked and although the staff are friendly it often gets overcrowded with older familys and top notch chavs. There is an odd tin sculpture of an alien poet mounted at the front by the windows but the most eye-catching feature is the compass-like stain-glass display on the ceiling. The place felt a little untidy and common with no air of character at all and with outdoor seating in the middle of a pedestrian walkway i wouldn’t say this was the most thought-out layout of all time.
Ok its cheap as hell but it only deserves a 4/10.

Hi Greg
Last week I was on a course in Woking. My Hotel was across the road so I went there for dinner on the first night and found the service quick, friendly and it was ok if you like warmed up food.
The next day my friends wanted to go for breakfast, so when we went to Wetherspoons again and I asked for an egg and mushroom roll the lady who served me asked me for ID, so I said I am only ordering breakfast so why should I need ID, well she would not take that for an answer and kept asking. In the end another staff member came over and took my order. He then said that they do not do egg and mushroom together so I had to have another look. He finally agreed that I can have an egg roll and pay for extra mushrooms to be added on.
When the food came I got a roll unbuttered, the egg was just like rubber and I got one mushroom on the side of my plate! 79p I paid for that half cooked mushroom! when I went to complain there was no one around and we didn’t have time to wait.
That evening my friends had gone back in and was just ordering food, I suggested to go somewhere else but they insisted that there meals were nothing like there breakfast, so again I went to order my food. I asked for the vegetarian sausages which they then said they didn’t have enough and suggested the Quorn ones instead so I agreed to have them. Once I had order my dinner I told them about my breakfast and asked if that was the usual case in which you pay 79p for one mushroom. His reply was “what time did you come in, was it late”, and when I answered saying it was 9am one of the first orders he replied with he would not know then because he only works evenings, so I asked to speak to someone who would and he just said they are really busy they didn’t have time.
When my food arrived, which was fairly quick the sausages were rock solid the mash potato was swimming in water which should have been gravy.
I would never return to that place again the service was appalling and the food was dreadful. It was not just me who was not happy with the food my friends were the same but they do not like complaining. Now I am back home I shall be writing a letter to the manager.

@Natalie. Next time try a real restaurant and in future, only visit pubs for alcoholic beverages.
