Dreadful security and bar staff I'm afraid. Was having a very normal conversation with some friends and a few strangers near the bar, when two people around me said "I can smell weed" before a guy said "that'll be me" before walking off. I was approached by security (short, squat, 45ish, blondey brown hair) and asked to leave the premises because a barmaid (dark hair, ponytail, cream jumper) thought it was me, based purely on the fact it was a male voice coming from roughly that area of the bar.
Despite several friends, acquaintances, and also complete strangers who weren't even involved in our conversation all pointing them in the direction of the man who actually said it, and me offering a full search etc and the security staff admitting I did not smell of anything like that at all (I've never done it in my life) I was still asked to leave. There must have been 14 people all pointing them in the direction of the actual culprit, so it's a real shame. Bar lady simply said "of course that's what youd all say if you'd done it" or something to that effect, which simply doesn't make sense considering the amount of people who I didn't even know who were trying to explain what had actually happened. What a strange level of service.
Very poor form from the one bar lady and the two security staff. I of course politely left without kicking up a fuss, but it was completely ridiculous and perplexing for everyone involved.
It's a shame as me and my wife come here to eat lunch roughly once every week or two, and me and my co workers meet here every so often for a couple of drinks, but we won't be coming back.
Felt pretty humiliating to just be picked out seemingly at random, completely falsely accused with so many people pointing out who actually said it, and being asked to leave. I've never been "kicked out" of anywhere before and it felt very...
Read moreCame here yesterday evening around 7:20pm after a long day of exploring getting my bearings around Penzance I settled for a wetherspoons for food as I was too tired to properly check out the other pubs The place was packed for a Friday night I guess I should have known better the staff are friendly enough but seemed exhausted at the bar, ordered burger, chips and drink for £7.16 can't moan about the price as the other pubs or restaurants in Cornwall have prices that are eye watering or don't have food that I want on their menu What I will moan about though is the quality my food arrived in it suspiciously took less than 10 mins to arrive to my table after I moved seats to a cleaner table and quieter area of the pub, my chips were well over cooked and the burger was drier than the Sahara desert and bun was like eating a rock I should have sent it back there and then but didn't want to make a scene or be seen as a demanding tourist in this local I think it was either put aside and reheated or shoved into a flame thrower for 10 mins and that why it came to me so burnt and tasted bad Won't be returning or recommending I am only giving this place 3 stars as the toilets were clean, cold lemonade was just what I needed and staff were OK Food quality and quantity was pitiful and a sight for sore eyes and taste buds! Regret not taking a pic of the inside of my burger as proof for how inedible it was and regret...
Read moreAbsolutely shocking food, I know its not the Ritz but come on, it's like the person doing the food has never used a microwave before (I didn't call him/her a chef or cook for a reason). The eggs were undercooked on the peoples meals that ordered them, ahen they said about it, they took them back and when they came back out, they may aswell have given them a packet of chewing gum they were that overcooked and chewy! My meal wasn't too bad although they could've put more than 8 chips on my plate! Drinks were left out of the order aswell, which I had to go back up and ask for. One of my kids southern fried chicken was do dry he'd have got more moisture from eating sand. The kids scampi was overly fishy smelling, as though it has been sat in warm kitchen all day, rather than being stored in a fridge/freezer. I obviously told my child not eat it and it didn't bother complaining as it wasn't gonna get any better. Definitely one of the worst Wetherspoons I've been to, I'd give 0 stars if I could, which I don't think I've ever said in a review! It was like we were eating at Faulty Towers! Just don't mention the war! If you know, you know,...
