The Union Rooms is clearly a flagship Pub in the Weatherspoon chain. It’s an excellent venue with ample space inside on 3 levels overlooking the City Centre plus a great outdoor space. The staff were all very helpful and efficient, even when stressed by the high numbers to be served! Food as always was good, but it is the food that held back the 5th Star. It’s most times, cooked to perfection, but as at ALL Weatherspoons, only “just hot enough”. There must be a common problem here. How can you cook perfect poached eggs like this and they arrive “warm”. I don’t get it. Come on Tim, sort it out and then it’ll be 5*

Never get any food from here, it's a scam. Look at the photo below - this is how many chips I got when I ordered. Then it was impossible to get the attention of a waitress because even though I called out she kept ignoring me, so I ate the food before it got cold and finally a waiter was nearby who was nice enough to speak to me said there was nothing he could do about it. I decided to give the benefit of the doubt, and ordered a dessert and a guiness - the dessert was tiny compared to what it was like before and to add insult to injury the guiness was far too bitter. This has been several times in a row now where I have either had my order served too late, the drink has tasted bad, the order went to the wrong table (which happened this time) or I got a small portion of something. I recommend training your staff properly and making sure they do a good job. This is the last time I will be coming here for a while. To be honest everybody shouldn't come here considering who runs this chain of pubs and how badly he treats his staff and how he helped realise Brexit.

My family and I go to this Wetherspoon pub regularly, usually a couple times a week. Consistently the measure of the pints (so called) have been reduced week on week; today, every single one of our five pints were centimetres below a full measure. Having garnered the attention of a staff member, after chasing up a meal which was not sent out, I informed them of the situation. This was not met with understanding, nor apology for the consistent error: just “ask for a top up when they bring it out”. I had accepted the laconic measure and only wanted the issue noted and passed on to the requisite bar staff, to avoid such poor practice in future. Henceforth, I will always correct the staff on first receipt of the pint; I will not consider it a momentary lapse due to human error.

I have visited here a few times over a period of a few years. It can be hit & miss. There have been some positive experiences and they have a great beer garden but there have been times when the food hasnt been so great e.g. they ask you how well you'd like your steak cooked and its unlikely to reflect what you ordered or there have been times tthey'verun out of popular dishes even on a theme night. There are worse places though and the wetherspoons app has made it so much better as you dont have to deal with some rowdy punters at the bar (usually during weekend evenings) or long queues
