Miniature Steak and Ale Pie

Was looking forward to a cheap and cheerful meal at Weatherspoons in Stowmarket. I ordered "New Steak and Ale Pie" with chips and peas from their "Pub Classics".
What arrived was a decent quantity of chips, too many peas (as usual), half a small tanker of gravy and a tiny "pie". I have never seen one so small, and I certainly can't buy one that tiny from anywhere that I know of!
Yes, there were a few pieces of beef in it, but no gravy or juice, and it was well over 50% pastry (by weight and/or volume).
Flavour of the filling (what there was of it) was OK, but nothing special. The pastry of course tasted of pastry. No evidence of any "Ale" whatsoever.
Chips were fine, although I had to go and get some ketchup to go with them, as there was hardly any gravy (none at all in the pie).
These meals are dictated by head office. The local Weatherspoons has no choice about the size or quality of the pie, which is the only reason I didn't complain to the manager - it's not their fault.
Head office - pull your head out of the sand (or wherever you've put it at the moment) or you will permanently lose your reputation for cheap, reasonable meals. This one (that you have designed) is poor and nowhere near a reasonable size.
Next time, I'll go to the chinese next door, or maybe the local chip shop.

Ashford county hotel Kent only 1 coffee…

Ashford county hotel Kent only 1 coffee machine working, Ryde Isle of Wight only 1 coffee machine working, Man in the moon Isle of Wight only 1 coffee machine working. Problem here is when your eating your food, you go up to get another drink there’s a long queue, so your food is going cold, obviously it’s done for a reason

CEO Freddie fox International .

The three fishers Worthing is absolutely appalling the men’s toilets are disgraceful filthy i cannot understand why this company haven’t given it a truly good upgrade Tim Martin was there last year unless he’s completely inept he must have seen the decline put you money into this pub and restore what potentially could be a very profitable business . 👎👎👎

Tanya, The Port Jackson

Tanya,
Saved the day, I have a brain injury amongst other injuries and ordered the wrong drinks with my meal, I ordered alcoholic instead of non alcoholic and she replaced them without fuss and refunded the difference, being disabled is a challenge for me, so Tanya was a breathe of fresh air, so kind and courteous, Thank you Tanya

Dog unfriendly

The Queen of Iceni Norwich. I arrived with my sister in a wheelchair for breakfast. She has a cute small dog that sat on her lap. We went to sit outside at a table, which most cafe and restaurants allow. A you man came out and asked us politely to move on. Dogs are not welcome he said. I have been a regular visitor to Spoons over the years. Not anymore

Going downhill

What has happened to Wetherspoons in Exeter? Went in there today for the first time in awhile and the place is filthy, tables are not wiped down, three of the four coffee machine machines are not working properly, and the staff are rude and very unhelpful. Not impressed at all would give it zero stars if I could.

Icy cold at Lytham St Anns

I am in the pub in Lytham St Ann’s they have the air conditioning set to really cold, to help empty the pub. They do not need the air conditioning on as they have the door open. The air conditioning was blowing on me making it really uncomfortable, tried to speak to one of the staff but was ignored. I often go to the railway at Lytham and this never happens. . It’s been a hot day and people are wearing thick clothing as if the middle of winter. It’s a bout the people who use the pub not the staff. I am a quality auditor so it’s about customer satisfaction. If customers are unhappy they go elsewhere and once gone they don’t come back, so think about what you are doing. Too many people leave and the pub shuts.

WEATHERSPOONS BROMLEY SOUTH

Ordered food from a local Weatherspoons in house and the app just did not work. The order went to a totally different Branch miles away

After calling them and explaining requesting a refund they REFUSED stating food was being cooked. The Staff member was rude and ignorant and I did not receive my food which I paid 21 pound for. Despite writing to them they STILL refused to refund me for goods I did not receive. You would not be allowed to not pay so why is it any different in this instance?

BEWARE THEY SCAM YOU FIRST OPPORTUNITY DO NOT USE THEIR SERVICES ENCOURAGING THESE LOWLIFE ORGANISATIONS

IF I COULD GIVE A ZERO RATING I WOULD

I am currently sitting in J.J.Moons

I am currently sitting in J.J.Moons. Ruislip Manor, first time I have been here, well I did come for breakfast earlier, besides the point.
The breakfast was one of the best I've had in any weatherspoons.
As I am staying in the area overnight and the breakfast being so good, I thought I would pop down or an evening meal too, which is not something I normally do.
Thursday night, curry night, just enjoyed a SirLankan prawn & fish curry, personally, I think anyone wishing to complain about this curry should have a rethink, it's not massive but it is very flavoursome for the price. This particular place has had the most welcoming staff, I had breakfast this morning, went away for a few hours, came back to mostly new staff from this morning. Hands up, they are all so good, you don't get this friendly service from my local weatherspoons.
Thank you too all the staff at JJ,Moons, Ruislip Manor.

Wetherspoons Oban is disgusting

Wetherspoons Oban is a dirty unkempt mess. No tables cleared up, food waste everywhere, dog mess around the perimeter where seating is provided. Appreciate the pricing for food and drink but where is the management? Disgusting.

The Bull & Stirrup in Chester

I stayed at The Bull & Stirrup in Chester, the room was spotless and very large. All the staff from cleaning ladies, bar staff and managers were very pleasant and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend a stay there.
