Very nice vibe to this place. Lots of young people out enjoying life. Love it. Town has the xmas market on. ST Peters across the road. I did look properly into the history. Mary was born in London. She had started a relationship with her soon to be whilst he was married with a child at 16? More than likely she lost her viginity on her mothers grave stone. Her sister fled with them, fell for Percy and commited susicid when he chose Mary over her.Percy's wife had comited suicied a couple of weeks away from giving birth. He was only 21. They had children but only one survived to adulthood. Did the book come about from an idea from a party in Swiz because people robbed graves to operate on. Who knows. Mary died from a brain tumor, age 54, in London. It was her son who moved her body to a town she never visited. Anyway, great friendly pub. Plenty of parking in town. Loved it, back soon.

After I ordered pint on the App a waiting time for it was 17 minutes. Attempt to serve me was apparently made in minute 18 when in the Gentlemen room. In the minute 20 I politely asked very young waitress who rather fill the mayo, ketchup and vinegar baskets then made another attempt to deliver my prepaid paint. She even tried to avoid me. Her pathetic reaction was that I was not in my chair and due not spiking drinks policy. She couldn't leave it there. Basically I could wait 17 minutes, but she would not wait 1 minute. It was obvious where I was, as all my personal staff at the table, with my jacket over the chair. Finally my pint was delivered at minute 24 by the same worker, but that was not end of the story. A duty manager in her 40's turned up swiftly and asked me to finish my pint and leave the pub. She didn't give me the reason why I have to leave, neither her name. I told her that rather then bullying a regular customer she should clean my table and table next to me, as it wasn't cleaned for 45 minutes. After plates taken away and me finishing the pint it wasn't still done and table unfinished with cleaning staff on the chair. It was minute 65 since I entered the pub. Shocking experience!

I have been in many Wetherspoons but this one is not one of the best. Popped in today at 8 a.m. as my wife and I were in the area but we were disappointed overall. Firstly it may be that they were short staffed as service taking our order was slow with no one there for several minutes with a queue building. Then it took about 20 mins for our breakfasts to arrive which is the slowest I have ever encountered. It was not very hot when it was delivered and the tomatoes were missing, so there was trouble in't kitchen!! Otherwise it is a good size with a small open air seating area and a good choice of tables. There are ladies and gents loos downstairs and a disabled loo on the same floor as the restaurant.

We decided to come in for dinner as we have always had a positive experience in here, and to be honest all witherspoons we go to, however ordering 2 pizzas and garlic bread , the pizza was blackened around the edge and the cheese was solid not as if it had just been cooked it was more like it had been put under the grill and reheated ,the garlic bread was anemic and very little cheese, the glass we had drinks in had lipstick marks and water/salt marks as if the dishwasher had not been cleaned or filled with detergent, as it being very quiet on the food front I would expect better ,I will continue to visit witherspoon but not this one ☹

Worst spoons I've been to so far. Service was subpar at best and drink orders weren't carried out correctly. Crockery and cutlery was handed out dirty with a lipstick like substance on a fork and napkin, as well as a stained and chipped plate and glass which arrived at our table. The burger I ordered had a burnt bun which was quite disappointing. All of these issues were brought up to a member of staff who shrugged it off, not really caring that our experience was unpleasant. If I return to Bournemouth and want to go to a wetherspoons, next time I'd try the one up the road...

The food was terrible. We didn't expect anything special as it's microwave meals but I still expect it cooked properly! In the picture you will see 4 onion bargis which the bottom ones were the first we received burnt to a crisp so we asked for some new ones and waited 20mins for them to be just as burnt as the first ( which are the top two). The samosas were stone cold in the middle and when replaced were over cooked. The rice was stone cold and the jalfrezi was really watery. Was not impressed that a manager think it is ok to bring us burnt food.
