Despite alleged recent refurbishment, very little has actually changed, a relocation of the coffee machine and opening up an old fire exit. Same tired old shabby venue with exact same dirty stained carpets, same rickety tables and chairs, same delapedated leaky smelly toilets. Many of the staff are clearly not happy to be there and appear to have little or no training in even the most basics. Some slam your food and drinks down without speaking or making eye contact, then scurry back to the bar area empty handed passing empty tables littered with the plates, glasses, bottles and general detritus from the last occupants. It's almost if they have been instructed not to clear and wipe down tables. Two tips I would give anyone visiting. Unless the place is very quiet, order your food and drinks via the app because you will loose the will to live waiting at the bar to do it. Also unless it is very quite, stick to the pizza because the kitchen staff can't do busy, not even mildly busy, they will mess up and send out terrible car crash food when put under the slightest of pressure. One anomaly on the menu is that the price on all of the options is relatively good value except the chips. A bowl cost a packet for what's only a handful of oven chips. Unfortunately in common with many wetherspoons, it seems to attract people who drink more than they can handle and they become very loud and extremely annoying to the point it's hard to hold a conversation with someone your with in there. With the tables and chairs being so close together, many of the customers who do over indulge bang into them all as they continually walk/stagger past going to the bar or toilet every five minutes. The real shame is that it wouldn't take much to massively improve the place. A proper refurbishment to freshen it up and train the staff to a much better standard, especially the manager's who really ought to be on top of things, ensuring tables are cleared, wiped clean and then chairs put back in place, menus set at each table, all the rubbish and food on the floor under and around tables cleared away etc. Also checking the cutlery is properly cleaned before wrapping it in a napkin and sending it out is a simple task but clearly never done. Come on Ritz wetherspoons Lincoln, get a grip.
