If Wetherspoons was just the toilets, I would undoubtedly visit more frequently- A* quality. The beer garden is also definitely above par, especially for Walkden. However, the hot sauce could be 100x hotter and the pint glasses should be a better, more creative shape. The ratio of salt to ketchup was too high for my taste and the tall back of some of the chairs is just ridiculous. If Wetherspoons got shut down and the building demolished, I would not build a Wetherspoons in its place. Despite this, I am overwhelmed with pride to be a citizen in Walkden with the knowledge that this Wetherspoons has won Loo of the Year award. This makes me very proud and I am honored to be sat here appreciating that the amount of holes in the salt and pepper shakers are the same, which is very rare nowadays. Although, I am very disheartened that most of the condiments in the tray are lid-side up which makes for a more strenuous excrement of sauce onto the plate since it resides at the bottom of the bottle.
In conclusion, the dented watering can hanging in the beer garden is a deal breaker for me so I shall not be returning.

Read moreIt went wrong today.Been coming to Bulls Head for breakfast for the last few years.Always friendly and £3:14 for traditional breakfast you cannot go wrong.Well it did today.Ordered breakfast as usual and a couple of filter coffees.Kids decided they wanted to come along so order included theirs.When we were served items where missing so spoke to staff member and pointed out toast was missing.At same time my wife went to the bar to get an extra drink and overheard staff talking on walkie talkies that I had a bad attitude?At same time started to eat breakfast and black pudding that was an option was rock hard so asked for it to be replaced.I was sat with my kids so seriously was polite and place is usually great.After nearly finishing breakfast staff member turned up with replacement black pudding but decided not to eat it as customer with a bad attitude could now be eating something kicked around the kitchen.Its such a shame all the staff behind the bar and serving where new.Ive been going for years and didn’t recognise them. Think I’ll leave it from now on and try...
Read moreWent in my local on Sunday 15th May at around 21:30pm & was disappointed to see a fairly quiet pub with not a great deal of punters. My neighbour and I started talking to a couple on a table who were arm wrestling a table away from the bar. The grey haired male in his mid to late 50's seemed quite merry. The female seemed to have a more athletic build than the male and seemed to be winning. Ended up having some banter with the couple & their friends and had a plesant evening chatting with them. The staff were also quite chatty & friendly. Also went into the beer garden in the rear which had one guy at a table on his own & also a table with four or five girls 20's to 30's. The drinks were reasonable prices as it's a Wetherspoons & I have sampled the cooked breakfast there a few times before...
