The Bobbing John is a standard Wetherspoons pub with a beer garden. The staff a generally friendly but as with most pubs their are one or two less friendly staff. The food is usually fine but I have noticed that some of the food is returned by some clientele. They have an open fire which is a nice touch for the winter. There is a single TV next to the bar but as with most Wetherspoons no music is played. It is a very busy place at the weekends and at this point it can be difficult to get served at the bar because of the number of customers and limited staff numbers. Overall one of the better Wetherspoons but still room for improvement. Last time we were in it took 35 minutes from ordering food until we got it.

Obviously likes to show power from a distance, ridiculous I am taking my custom elsewhere. Clearly a pub where if...
Read moreHad lunch , was terrible from start to finish . Think the server was high she tried to explain track and trace , signing in , downloading app, ordering process , in about 20 seconds , sat down after downloading app and came over straight away to ask what out order was ? Eh you told me to download app ?! Hadn’t even looked at menu ! She was very loud , no mask on , shouting to other staff members , she needs to learn to be a bit more discreet . What we did order we were told there were none left , so tried to order other things , came very poorly put together . Chicken wrap came exactly like that , no lettuce nothing ! Cheese tuna wrap came with no cheese ? Oh and table wasn’t cleaned when we sat down ?! It was covered in crumbs , food...
