I am writing to express my profound disappointment with the behavior of the manager (bold guy in the video) at Wetherspoons. We have been loyal customers for many years and visited on two occasions on Saturday, December 16, 2023. During our second visit, we moved a table with the express permission of security staff to accommodate our group of seven. However, the manager's response to moving a table was nothing short of appalling. The manager approached us in a rude and aggressive manner, shouting and treating the security staff with utter disrespect. This behavior was deeply shocking and completely unacceptable. It not only marred our evening but also created an uncomfortable and intimidating atmosphere for everyone involved. The manager's demeaning attitude towards employees, including potential racial undertones, was particularly disturbing. We were particularly disturbed and saddened for the security personnel who were subjected to this unwarranted abuse. They were simply doing their job and trying to ensure a pleasant experience for all of us. Yet, they were met with hostility and disrespect from someone who is supposed to be their superior. It is unacceptable that they should be treated in this manner, and we hope that they will not be discouraged from continuing to do their best to serve the Wetherspoons community. I believe that such behavior is completely incompatible with the expectations of a manager, especially at a well-respected establishment like Wetherspoons. It is essential that the company takes appropriate action to address this issue. Whether it be through proper training or a reconsideration of the manager's role, it is crucial to ensure that such unprofessional and offensive behavior is not tolerated. We cannot, in good conscience, continue to patronize an establishment where managers abuse their power and mistreat their employees. Such behavior is antithetical to our values and principles, and we will not support businesses that condone it. We urge Wetherspoons to take heed of our concerns and address this matter urgently.

Food is Whetherspoon standard, so nothing to say about it. The management is substandard and rude. We sat at the tables at the entrance with my family. At some point one of the waitress decides that these tables weren't ok and we had to move because according to her we were occupying the entrance where they placed the table to begin with. Needless to say that we already ordered food and in the meantime it was getting cold. The table were moved a nudge closer to the entrance, with no gain I'm what the purpose of the move was. They crammed us against another table tha I'm the menatime got angry at us and not to the waiter that was moving the table. We finally changed location because another table became free. To add insult to injury, they moved the tables back where they were, other customers sat there and nothing was said to them. This place is not family friendly with this management, they just prefer to cater for the drunks of the area that get angry at you for no reason. I've been coming to this place for years, nothing like this never happened before. Won't come here anymore, will just check in future only if this management changes.

I ordered grey goose , the same combination like I got in Victoria Station wetherspoon, but it taste like soda without alcohol in this shepherd's bush weatherspoon, I talked to the manager, young and handsome that one, he smelled it admit is not smelled very alcohol, he asked the bar staff , said they confirmed this is grey goose inside ( who would admit they forgot ?). But I can smell nothing taste nothing like grey goose at all. The attitude of the manager is friendly and nice , kept asking my how do I feel the drink after , despite I always answered it was like soda only, he didn't want to replace a new one for me , he did say if I ordered another drink, he can put a little more alcohol for me , it's kind but not solving the problem I got for the first cup of drink , went home super sober, not my expectation. I thank him for being nice keep asking me how I feel about the drink , but without putting alcohol in the first drink I paid or change a new one , (I can't spend more money for today) , the promise for making another drink stronger is not that helpful though😅😅. I basically pay alcohol rate for a soft drink .

Update: very unprofessional service, I won’t be coming there any longer very disappointed. We two men came at 23:30 and waited to be served till 23:46 at the bar, it wasn’t that busy and quite manageable I will update with pictures , there were two people serving drinks but no one bothered to acknowledge us or even have the eye contact, we tried to ask staff to serve us, but the staff kept serving people jumping the queue, after 15 minutes we decided leave… This central bar became my favourite place for convenience and prices and quality of food, we usually go for a meal deal which provides the best value, food taste ok and it comes in generous portions, also they have a wide selection of drinks, my favourite is laffe beer, which is the most expensive but tastes great. Staff always kind, every time always someone’s asks me about the food and if I enjoyed, service is quite fast as well, it also feels secure and friendly.

Micro portion of food as normal price. Yesterday 03/12/2020, my friends and I decided to go to this local because, the information on Google maps was that it will be open till 12am, around 9:35pm we ordered a "Small Plates" 3 portions of food for £10.75. First it took more than 30 minutes to arrive, and just came after we ask whats happen with our order. when the order came to the table it was a really small portion of everything, when I asked to the staff whats happens, the blond girls that the kitchen was closed and they didn't have many food left, she quickly turn back and gone..... Excuse me, how it's possible, if you haven't the food just cancel the order and give the money back. I'm will also make a complaint about this to their company.
