Very disappointing visit. I tried to order the burrito salad, was told there was none, so I opted for 8oz gammon steak with baked potato and veg, (as there was no salad)then there was no baked potato left, the guy suggested rice with it as I didn't want chips, sat back down, the server came to the table to say there was only enough gammon for half a portion, I asked if they could put something else on the pleat, like a 4oz rump or pork (similar to the mixed grill) she returned to say the managed won't allow that, so I ended up having to choose pizza. I was trying to stick to a slimming world diet at the time and there was literally no time to sit and look at the menu again to see what else I could have that wouldn't ruin my diet. Pizza came, and it was half the size it should be. The description is 11" pizza, which almost fills the plate, as I've had it before. I had to take my pizza up to the bar area and speak to the duty manager. He agreed it was far smaller than it should be and offered to make me another pizza. My partner was already served his burger and chips, so I didn't want to then have to wait again for a pizza, so I asked if there was anything he could do to the price, as I didn't want to waste this pizza. He was very good and refunded me the whole price of the pizza. It was a better outcome thanks to him. Ridiculous how they had ran out of almost everything half way through a Saturday afternoon though! It...
Read moreI like Wetherspoons but I love this one. Lovely, spacious, clean dining area. You can order from your table using the app or at the bar and there is plenty of room at the bar for ordering. The menu is brilliant , breakfast is served till 12 with a huge choice including American and Scottish breakfasts as well as hot filled rolls, pancakes and many other choices. The cooked breakfasts are offered in a small and larger size which is great , if like me you can't eat a lot. The choices throughout the day are lovely too, pub classics, pizzas, salads burgers and more and again offered in two sizes. Everything I have tried has been lovely and hot and cooked really well. The puddings are amazing too. All main meals come with a choice of drinks and tea and coffee have free refills after your first purchase. The staff are amazing, very friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble for them. The only downside for me is that the disabled toilet hasn't had a lock on the door for over a week now, as the other toilets are up three flights of stairs which, if like me, you have mobility problems Is not great. But even that wouldn't put me off going. Great restaurant, great food and amazing staff. I would...
Read moreRealised tonight, after a day in Helensburgh that Dumbarton, Alexandria and Renton really is the Wild West in every negative way possible. After 3 strikes out in Helensburgh searching for a sunday Roast lunch,running out of options we ended up in this sprawling Wetherspoons on Dumbarton high st. It really is huge. Usual spoons,down at heel, crowded with locals seeking cheap food. Noisy kids everywhere. Hey-Ho, when yer in yer in. First problem was unclean Sticky dried up spillage on our table which my friend leaned the sleeve of his jacket on. Staff who were very friendly and attentive did come and clean the table. Menus have been changed in all branches. No more steaks or mixed grills??? We had Halloumi fries, Korean chicken with coconut rice and BBQ Chicken melt with mash. All were surprisingly good. Spoons is its own enigma. It does supply good food at cheap prices and because of this attracts many patrons from the dark end of the street. The spoons toilet jokes are told for a reason, this branch is no different . A long climb...
