The John Francis Basset - JD Wetherspoon — Restaurant in England

The John Francis Basset in Camborne offers the classic Wetherspoons experience but with a local touch that makes it stand out. The building is spacious, and the ambiance is warm, with a nice balance between traditional pub decor and a modern vibe. The staff are generally friendly, attentive, and quick to serve, even during busy times.

The food is standard Wetherspoons fare, offering good value for money. The menu has plenty of options, from hearty pub classics to lighter bites. While it may not be gourmet, it’s always satisfying, and the portions are generous. The breakfast options are particularly good if you're looking for a solid start to your day.

The pub also has an excellent selection of reasonably priced drinks, with a great variety of beers, ales, and spirits. Their coffee is surprisingly decent for a pub chain too.

The staff that are collecting plates and cleaning also seem totally unable to "see" either. Shame, as some of the staff are truly excellent. I do love the place though hahaha and the hotel. All I can think of is...

Drinks are a lot cheaper than anywhere else in town. Good atmosphere and plenty of door staff so if there is a problem it's sorted quickly. If you're too drunk they will not serve you more alcoholic drinks which is a good thing for those of us out for a meal or a drink without being hassled. There is a small smoking area out the back which is secluded and safe with tables and benches etc so I don't understand why they let smokers who are drunk smoke out the front. It's always a hassle walking past drunk smokers outside a pub at night. I say this as a smoker. Food is pretty good and the prices are very fair so all in all a cheaper night out and a safe...
