The Pump House - JD Wetherspoon — Restaurant in Metropolitan Borough of Solihull

I visited here with 3 friends after an extremely heavy Saturday night. On arrival, I hadn't slept a wink and was flagging when my friend managed to produce half a gram out of his rather jaded wallet. This somewhat livened me up and we went straight to the bar and ordered two pints of watered down lager. The barmaid was extremely friendly but only managed to serve one of the two drinks we required - it made me wonder whether she'd been in the same club as me the previous night.

After managing to obtain the pair of drinks we ordered, we made our way to the vast amount of seating facilities the venue has to offer (funny that cos it's meant to be a pub). We secured a booth of four and supped away willingly as we enjoyed the sights and sounds of the Stratford Road.

At this point my friend, rather amusingly, suggested a game of spoof. We all roared with laughter but agreed to his hilarious proposal (we are an extremely ironic group). Slug lost spoof and bought the jagers.

After spoof, we experienced the all too familiar lull in conversation when one of my friends (I have three) suggested sampling the half gram. THE FACILITIES ARE ABSOLUTELY SUPERB! Sturdy lock, flat surface and no bouncers. I was completely euphoric.

I'm writing this review after making my way back down the staircase from the above activity and will shortly be heading to the Plume of Feathers. If you like cheap beer, friendly staff (albeit forgetful) and superb drug taking facilties, this...

Have been here quite a few times over last 18 months or so for meals with friends etc & have had fairly good experiences. This evening though was different. The table was liberally scattered with various food & sauces from previous customers which we cleaned ourselves as there appeared to only be 1 person the tables side of the bar. Being disabled I went as usual to the downstairs toilet only to find water over the floor around the toilet & basin & on the toilet. It appeared to have come from the basin where there is an open hole where a tap might normally be fitted. I attempted to get access to some toilet paper to dry the toilet seat but the whole unit itself suddenly moved, dropping down & swung off the wall on 1 side making it impossible to get at the minute amount of tissue that was left. The basin itself was dirty around the bowl & around the plughole. This was not the normal standard I've encountered there before but I was hesitant to approach the person who seemed to be in charge as he'd been incredibly rude & unprofessional when I was trying to access the toilet initially. Very...

Visited for breakfast on a weekday with a friend. Most tables were taken with people eating breakfast or waiting on breakfast & it's a big place. There was one person on the bar. I ordered a large breakfast and a traditional breakfast on seperate tabs. Ordered two coffees & had to remind them to give me the cups. We received two traditional breakfasts. When I said to the waitress that the order was wrong & she was apologetic but as I tried to explain that I had ordered them separately & I knew that I had paid two different amounts so the order had to have been correct she wouldn't let me speak & kept cutting me off saying 'it's fine I know' She left the correct breakfast but she didn't bring us any cutlery & disappeared. There were no waiting staff to be seen & I'd walked around trying to find if it was kept somewhere. About ten mins later my friend walked to the other end of the pub to the servery to ask for some cutlery which eventually came with the missing breakfast. The food was a good standard but service...
