V-Shed - JD Wetherspoon — Restaurant in Bristol

It's open throughout the week so the environment will be different depending on the time. Friday and Saturday nights are very busy with dancing club goer type customers starting their night out or rolling in throughout the night. There's a party atmosphere at these times. A younger clientele though not exclusively. At other times it's quieter. If you're a real Ale drinker then it's the cheapest in the City and probably for miles around although the selection of Ale is not as extensive as the Wetherspoons in Corn Street. You pays your money you take your choice. They challenge 25, meaning that ID is checked of customers who are suspected or appear to be under 25 years of age. Door staff work the doors at certain times such as Friday and Saturday nights. I've never had any food there but imagine that it's Wetherspoons level. The staff are largely businesslike and busy. The pub is on the shady side of the harbour so won't be getting any afternoon sun anytime soon. If it was on the other side then you probably couldn't get a pint of beer on a Monday for £1.79. The toilets are located on the top floor, you've got a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor. There's bars on the ground and second floor and a disabled toilet on the ground floor but you may have to ask for a key to use it. Go figure. I suppose that they don't want hobos coming in and washing themselves down. Who would want that? Once bitten twice shy, give em an inch they'll take a mile. There's outside seating with a smoking area as well as non smoking. Homeless dudes sometimes approach customers and ask for just a pound, yeah, just a pound they want. Seagulls will squark happily along the harbourside, waiting for diners to abandon their plates of food giving them an opportunity to fly over and gobble down any leftover poppadoms or naan bread. I'd like to see more seagulls actually entering the premises proper and taking food from the inside but sadly I've never seen this happen. That's...

Share my experience. Cold friday in Bristol working at the'Cube' on anchor rd. As it is Friday and I am old and over weight decided to go wethers for the end of week breakfast with the man I'm working with. Who also! Is old and over weight. Anyhoo. Having walked past the big ferris wheel through the rapidly erected Christmas stalls we eventually arrived at Wethers. Despite my Co worker repeatedly asking " Is it near". Declaring "its cold". Then reminiscing " I went for a night out here years ago , it's changed, all of this wasn't here then". "I went to a place called the V Shed" ? . We arrived at the V-Shed(wethers). Two breakfasts one large one traditional extra toast and black pudding. Coffee. Although my co-worker wanted tea. But because the coffee/ hot water machines were invented by a super alien with way to many functions, my co-worker had coffee. Breakfast came minus the extra warm bread which was described as toast. ( wow! Electric must be super expensive for wethers if they can't toast bread) No! They always give you warm white stale bread. With a char mark. Ate breakfast. Drank coffee. Listened to noise. Had an epiphany. Thankgod for Wetherspoons. For making life easy for working people. For providing warm food cheaply. For providing a pleasant environment. Seeing how wethers was a guiding hand throught brexit maybe they should be welcoming more striking workers. Those workers who can't afford light warmth food drink. At a very discounted price they could also have a free Friday breakfast. Not for me though. I'll pay my way. Unlike the politicians subsidised meals drink...

This has got to be the worst service I've had. Took my son in after graduation for a quick drink and snack to recharge. We used the app to order drinks which took over 15 minutes to arrive at our table and they also needed a reminder that we had ordered. When the drinks arrived the bar person spilt a whole pint of lager all over my son! I was shocked by the bar persons response. She didn't really move with any real urgency after the event. She said I'll just get some roll to clean up, still at this point there was no apology. I said it's a good job he wasn't wearing his gown 😞 she replied with 'well I could get you another drink and a free meal if you like' Approximately 20 minutes later the same bar person dropped a tray of empty glasses. Her lack of customer service or even giving a damn made me very angry. I was behaved and didn't cause a scene. Our light bites were reimbursed but not the drinks. No offer of paying the dry cleaning bill for my son's suit either. I didn't want to make a bad situation worse for my son, so we ate our snacks, drunk our drinks and left. On exiting the bar, the female bar tender who was also duty manager that shift gave me one hell of a dirty look. Shocking service, I recommend the young lady look for another sector to work in.
