A busier version of almost any other Wetherspoon in the UK! Can get absolutely rammed and take ages to get a drink. Have to be lucky to find seating too! Or enough chairs at the tables sometimes. Cheapest bar prices in Bath, cheap £6 cocktail pitchers, and seemingly the only place that serves Tuborg beer! (my favourite!) You can use the app to pay and they take it to your table, can sometimes best the queues too so I recommend it. They accept PayPal aswell as card on the app. Bar accepts Apple and Android Pay. Little to no charm as expected, to me it's a trusty place to get some drinks or some small bites before heading out to a real pub! The food is fine too, very well priced and particularly good value if you get a drink with it. Fish Fridays is my favourite (although not with my peers so maybe my opinion is not the same as yours!) Curry Club is apparently very good although I haven't yet tried it. Kid friendly and family oriented all day until 9pm! Then it's only for grown-ups! ;)

I understand it's a weatherspoons and the quality nationwide is generally is pretty average to poor. This weatherspoons was unfortunately poor quality in the food department. I will all the servers and bar staff were very helpful and friendly and this is not their fault. We ordered breakfast and used the intent order from table (my mistake). The problem was there was no eggs but you are not informed online so until it comes you are unaware. They stuck an extra hash brown on but eggs are pretty vital. It came with small portion of cold beans, cold sad mushroom and a cold tomato, no butter for the toast either but the server sorted that out for me. I have uploaded pictures to show I'm not exaggerating. I want to say I don't blame the staff for any of this, it's a very popular mainstream pub/restaurant so has large volumes to deal with. They always seem understaffed and under a lot of pressure. I blame Timothy Martin for his poorly run chain and think he should pay his staff more or at least employ enough for each pub he owns. I will return again one day and update this review if improved.

Another Wetherspoons another good value meal.. Visited Bath on a rainy cold day and hoped to warm up in Spoons with a meal and drink. Unfortunately it was very cold inside, possibly had air con on. Being Thursday we ordered Kormas, and we were not disappointed, lovely, tasty and great value for money. The toilets are located on the same floor to the rear and these were lovely and clean. The staff were all friendly and pleasant. One particular manager was amazing, she had apparently been conducting interviews before coming onto the floor, she was like a whirlwind, cleaning and tidying.

This is the best pub in the world. We went on curry night which cost £7 for a curry and a pint of excellent ale. We made the mistake of ordering additional poppadums, which weren't strictly necessary because the main course arrived with non only 2 poppadums, but also a Naan. This was unexpected, and the cause of much delight. One of the poppadums was slightly undercooked but given that 7 we're perfect, we accepted this as proof of the high standards we had come to expect. Top notch nosh. Love it! 😘

Como todos los wheterspoon en Inglaterra, son una opción barata para comer y beber. Los platos son grandes y están ricos. Los baños estaban limpios. La atención fue rápida. El local tiene muchas mesas. En nuestra visita fuimos dos veces y no tuvimos problemas en encontrar sitio. 100% recomendado!
