The Moon Under Water - JD Wetherspoon — Restaurant in Sandwell

For a Spoons this is alright - it's the only public house left on the high street and as such such it's busy all hours of the day- which at least guarantees an atmosphere. Service is surprisingly friendly and efficient- beer actually seems quite well looked after lines seem cleaned regularly- and they certainly pour enough to keep it moving. Clientele is the usual mix of the aged and retired, the state sponsored professional loafers, single mothers that can't cook and manual labourers that sneak in for their daily Carling's in between shifts at the foundry / pushing 'barrows of tarmac and ripping doors of cars ( possibly me... ). Food is poor but cheap and filling as usual.... in the winter they put a real fire on. Named after a line in a Orwell essay but don't worry you won't find many literary pretentions here - the local library next door closed...

We eat here almost every Thursday for the Curry night. We are a group of 6 people. The food is pretty good and it is cheap. Half of us have the curry and sometimes the rice is cold or the chicken has weird bits in it but it still gets ordered. Two of us have the lasagne with chips and it comes with a small salad, it is really nice. One time I found a sticker with a date on it in my salad but again we still order it Their chicken, bacon and avocado salad is super nice. I was going to give it a 2 but a 2 states "I disliked it". We don't dislike it but most times the table is dirty, the menus are dirty and every now and again you get a dirty glass with your drink. We go there to socialize with a friend and family. You can't beat the quality of food...

usually come here with friends but went here Friday night and staff were really rude. I had the salmon bagel and it tasted off and smelt funny and the blonde woman which served me told me it was fine and that they wouldn't do another one. I asked if I could speak to the manger and she said that they were busy so they can't do anything. Really disrespectful she was and I heard others complaining about her in the bar. I think I'll go to the merry hill wetherspoons or black Heath one in future....
