The Edward Wylie

I've been to this pub many times, but this review is for a weekday lunch visit where I was part of a group of seven. The Edward G can get busy and that was certainly the case on the day I visited and so getting a table for seven of us was tricky and in the end we ended up on a low sofa and stools, which isn't ideal for dining. Despite that, this is one of the better fitted Wetherspoons pubs that I have been in - I like the dark interior of the place. The queue to order food and drinks becomes a bit of a hassle when the bar is packed and so overall the service experience is saved by the speed with which the food arrives. The food is just what you'd expect from a Wetherspoons - plenty of choice, all of it okay, and decent portions too. It's the price that wins the day for this pub - lunch including drinks came out at around £7.50 a head - incredible value for money.

I have been here a number of times. And I prefer it midweek as it is quiet. The pros. It's pretty cheap. And they have a good supply of ales on tap, as well as some decent bottles. The staff are generally pretty pleasant, helpful and friendly. The food is good. The cons. It's always loud. On each and e ery Friday I have been in it has been total chaos. Hard to get served at the bar difficult to move around and a number of the ales have been off. All in all it is a decent bar, but I would avoid Fridays.
