The Brass Balance - JD Wetherspoon — Restaurant in Wirral

The Brass Balance is one of the chain of Wetherspoons. The size of Wetherspoons allows lower prices for food and drink. The pub has a steady flow of customers during the day without being crowded. A strange mix of early morning all day drinkers and workers from the business and court sections of Birkenhead nearby. A pleasant atmosphere despite the disparity in customers. with an outdoor smoking/vaping area with tables and chairs best used when the weather is good. A brilliant good value menu - particularly for different types of breakfasts. The toilets were clean - as was the whole indoors area. An amazing US style coffee top-up machine with different types of coffee for just over a £1 for as many cups of coffee you want - which is excellent value (given that coffee houses in Birkenhead charge approximately £4 per cup of coffee of your choice. Different evenings during the week such as Curry Night - suitable for group evenings out. Parking is not free. Main road (Argyle Street) and County Court car park have fee paying parking bays as expected in the centre of town. Happy to recommend...

I think this is a fair , review , was their today , long wait for food , some staff stated technical problems in kitchen , others stated only one staff member in the kitchen , so going off that all was ok really half way due to service and contradictory staff, the atmosphere was brilliant tho all seemed to be enjoying themselves , the hotness had the doors open at the front allowing a cool breeze , throughout , which also added to the friendly atmosphere within the place , as for the food tho , we had return the first cup back due to having lipstick marks on , bit crazy as it only like 9:30 ish 10am but yer relates to the one member of staff , and they forgot the extra black pudding , but all other extras where added, but the food was to the typical Wetherspoon standard for its breakfast , , however I will be going again none of this criticism, has put me off visiting the place again. I do hope they resolve the kitchen staff issue during the course of the day , as it was only early and the weather is a typical beer day , so I can only presume it should get better , but that’s down to...

Empty tables not cleared, cleared tables not wiped down. The best table we could get was one that a drink had been spilt on and not cleaned. You could tell it had been a while since it happened because it had tide marks. Couldn't take advantage of the refillable tea or coffee because no staff would come down to the side of the bar where you are supposed to get a clean cup despite staff seeing that you were standing there. When someone eventually did come they informed me that they "don't really use that part of the bar" there is no sign stating this or redirecting you to anywhere else. Even though they have to go there in order to get a cup/mug anyway! How is the customer supposed to know? The steak that was cooked medium to well done was abit tasteless. On the plus side though my steak cooked medium was fine. The onion rings were cooked to perfection and very tasty, not too thick. Chips were also to a high standard as was the ham...
