(This review written from the perspective of a Canadian)

The first Wetherspoons I fell in love with—maybe it was the company that brought me along, but there's a lot to love either way. This is where I found out about unlimited café beverages, from a self-serve machine (no waiting around to bug a waiter for a refill)—making this place, and pretty much any Spoons an instant winner. If you vape, there are plenty of tables that have easy access to a (quite) open outdoors area (it's a parking lot); this is really nice. I can always step out for a minute, and making distance isn't hard—neither is coming back in. The food is always very good—I've had some orders come missing items, but staff are always helpful, despite the restaurant almost always being busy. For food, the only area I'd like to see evolved on—some five-spice items (such as the Naga Chili Chicken Vindaloo, available at the Sir John Moore and the Crystal Palace) would be fantastic; for any fans of spiciness, it will knock your socks off—but it's not available at this location. The item rated one spice lower—the Beef Madras—is very manageable for me--that extra spice the Naga Vindaloo has is like an extra order of magnitude; it takes what one can manage confidently, and lays on nine more. Overwhelming, in the best way—I do wish it, or something similar were here. (if you're at a Wetherspoons where it's served, it's very good stuff—it will have you putting those free decaf mochas to use!)

Costs are very reasonable, considering how pricey eating out in the UK can be (in my experience). I specify the costs as ranging from £1-£10, as it's true that that is all you will often have to spend—however, I was almost always enticed to spend more; everything I've had has been very, very good in terms of texture, taste, and value for money. If it's from Wetherspoons, the chances are that it's good—so if you're in the UK and you want what's nearly guaranteed to be a good meal, Wetherspoons is a safe bet. (For anyone who drinks—a wide variety of pints are priced very reasonably, here. I can't go into too much detail, as I don't drink—but a friend who does gave me the quick rundown.)

Regarding washrooms/toilets: The bathrooms are on the main floor—and the word that comes to mind is "dignified". As a male, I appreciate that there are separating walls for all of the urinals—the only time I'm not pee shy to the point of having trouble is when I'm back in Canada, under the strong influence of cannabis. I have been to many places in the UK (and Canada) without walls separating the urinals—it's never fun. The toilets themselves are very confidential—very, very tall separators. Good for you guys—few places anywhere at all get it so right. I think the Wetherspoons at the Sir John Moore even goes so far as to have individual toilets, entirely walled-off from one-another, with a very tall door; I've literally never seen such good execution on the idea of a "dignified public restroom", or anything close. Both are winners.

Love the location, love the food, love how I never feel like I'm a prisoner or live in a barn—it really is too bad I don't live in the country, let alone the area! Great restaurant.
