The Coronet — Restaurant in London

INTERIOR: 4 stars! Really Nice grand open interior at the back with lots of seating. Looks quite posh like a casino. One of the nicest Wetherspoons I have been too. The mass of seating in front of the bar made it quite difficult to get to the bar though having to weave between tables and chairs.

PRICE: 4 stars. Its good and cheap in here with prices similar to the ones I'm used to in Brighton. Around £3.30 a pint (as of May 2018)

STAFF: 1 star! Some very lazy grumpy staff with the majority not even wearing uniforms or name badges! There was football on when we went in at about 9:10pm and it was busy. Managed to get a table from somebody leaving (which was full of plates and glasses). No one was clearing tables even after the football ended. 30 minutes later a staff member finally walked by which we asked to clear the table. She informed us she was on her break and would send someone. 5 minutes later a girl came over and cleared several pint glasses away leaving several bottles and plates. She never returned to clear the rest and after 15 minutes we had to dump them on a ledge round the corner where they stayed for over an hour. Bar staff were very slow to serve, talking with each other and seemed to be caught up in their own thoughts not keeping track of who was next to be served.

FOOD: 2 stars. Table didnt have a number and took ages to find a staff member to ask which number it was. I ordered a BBQ Pulled Beef Burger off the Gormet Burger section and my girlfriend ordered a hotdog with cheese and bacon. My burger had literally a small dessert spoon of pulled beef of top and it smelt horrible and cheap like Princes Stewed Beef or catfood (photo uploaded). Couldnt find any staff to complain to and none asked how our food was. My girlfriends hotdog looked very good and she said it was nice. Both of our chips were only warm though and were soon cold. Also had to go looking for condiments off other tables as they all seemed to be empty.

Toilets. 3 stars. The Mens Toilets were right at the back and were not that great. Could be cleaner.

I'd probably go back again but i wouldn't be ordering anything off the gormet burger section as their portioning is worse than post...

Unfortunately last night, closing down night, the usual great staff were not all working, another manager with nil sense of the occassion, with her pathetic smiling colleague, who looked 14 yes old, were convinced I was upset because I couldn't get a free drink, which is funny, because they had no Guinness, or the shot I drink, or the craft beer I drink no nothing, and obviously this manager had no opologies, as she was so far up her self she needed to come up for air, along with her side kick colleague who thought they were somthing lol, the bar was trashed, and looked a complete mess bottles were strewn across the back and just looked untidy as were the fridges, this is at 9pm, nowhere near the usual bar staff standard, obviously no last minute kegs were bought in not even for guinness drinkers, which is pretty disgusting when there are a lot of us and it was closing down day, shows the respect and care from mr spoon for his buying punters over the years nasty man nasty company, and the manager that night certainly did not give a toss,I always take my glass back, and my plate, which the usual staff could tell you, so im not a person who has no respect on the contrary, but the terrible manager shouted at the security who I actually have a good relationship with...... in her words, get him out of here like she's judge and jury nasty piece of work these two little girls were, I shall be writing to head office and I'm sure a few members of staff will jump in on the band wagon who are as useless as the two staff I have mentioned, not an issue place is closed, fact I have been drinking in the pub longer than the age, of the two children behind the bar and have 16 years bar experience I can categorically say she was by far the worse manager I have ever come across in a spoons, as for her colleague who just stood there laughing you both should work in a youth club for 10yr olds serving orange juice, not a pub...

Popped into The Coronet for an impromptu meal and drink, excited to see what this once frequented local had to offer under new ownership. We should not have bothered.

The pub was virtually empty, yet we stood at the bar to be ignored by a girl who could not have missed us, but did not approach us (we were the only people at that end of the bar), she walked forward and backward for a bit, looking around (without making eye contact) but doing nothing, except stop and go near a wall to use her phone at one point. Another girl walked down to our end of the bar, but she also ignored us, and even more insulting was the way she looked straight through me as she walked back - she wasn't serving anyone either. Eventually, the third girl, who was the only one actually serving customers, came to us and, when asked, directed us to one menu on the bar. We left without ordering anything.

There was nothing displayed outside to indicate they served food and no menus on the tables. The bar display was unenticing. The lovely raised seating area at the rear of the pub has gone, and the space is dominated by a large pull-down screen (even though nothing was showing).

The only positive I can report from this visit was the security guard who confirmed they did food when he welcomed us in.

This is the first negative review I have ever written, but felt compelled to do so because I am so disappointed to see such a large and beautiful space where we once struggled to find a seat on Sundays or match days, looking so sad and empty. I can not see it surviving under current management, particularly if they do not address the calibre of...
