The Central Bar - JD Wetherspoon — Restaurant in Carrickfergus

I went there last night and had no problems with food or drink, on that note it was absolutely fine. But there's a massive downside to this bar currently. This is to do with Covid. While there were hand sanitizer stations and a table for test and trace, there were other areas which were lacking. No face masks or shields for staff members, no table service (having to stand at the bar is really not good from a hygiene point of view) and the staff showed little regard for making sure the customers stuck to the rules. There were people from separate households who appeared quite elderly hugging and chatting with virtually no distancing, the stickers on the floor were not adhered to, and despite the staff telling people to separate, she was not listened to. At that point, you really should refuse service. People deliberately not following the rules are not being punished (maybe not the right word, but they shouldn't be served, especially when someone only ordered alcohol without food). With such little regard for the rules, I would advise people to avoid this bar or really think twice about going there for a meal. It's not safe and it's not good enough. The duty of care towards staff and customers is not good. At all. And there are no...

Clean, bright, and a pleasent atmosphere in the middle of a lovely sunny afternoon, BAD beer, I had 3 rale ales. First was Whitewater's Maggie's leap. So cloudy I could not see through the glass at all, and after I demurred, I was asked "what was wrong with it?" Tried another Whitewater ale, I drank it, it was just ok but cloudy with yeasty bits in. Then I risked the Abbot, proper disgustingly poor. Then another whitewater ale, stupid frothy and endless jibbling and topping up from other glasses of froth etc etc. But it was actually Ok. Just the shambles of the pouring and presentation put me off. This was yesterday afternoon, a Saturday. So I would have hoped they should have had the beers sorted for a big night. I will not bother going back to the central bar. P.S. A lovely young woman called Molly behind the bar did cheer me up just with her warm and cheerful nature. The view out the window upstairs was also...

First time at weatherspoons Carrick and have to say it has scarred me for life. We ordered 2 dishes .. one at £14.50(3 small plates) and one at £5.60. Yet she insisted in charging us £24.30 ????. We replied with "No sorry its £20.10" yet she continued the argument . There was a free drink included and she insisted in charging us for that too. She then re calculated and brought the price down to £23.10 when it should have been £20.10 from the start ? After arguing for the next 10 minutes we had to put our order through separately. When our order arrived the nachos where cold , the cheese was hard and the chips where not loaded, I also wouldn't consider the meat feast pizza as a meat feast because there was 3 pieces of meat on it and whst looked like a field of spinach . On the plus side the jug of...
