The Regent

This place used to be amazing and the food was half decent but now it's really bad! The breakfast is ok but when you order other food like pizzas or steaks etc the quality has really gone downhill. At least that has been my experience. Sometimes you may get a decent meal but most of the time it's not that great. I don't mind paying higher prices if the quality of the food is still the same but unfortunately it is not. I still visit regularly just to drink the coffee in the daytime as it's really cheap (£1.05) with free refills and it's consistent. The alcohol drinks and soft drinks are very reasonably priced too. A pint of Ruddles for example can be got for £1.77 which is amazing. The staff are very helpful and when you do order food or drinks they arrive quite quickly. It's really a shame that the food is way more expensive than it used to be while sacrificing quality too. For years I have praised JD Wetherspoons as I think they have tried to keep town centres alive and offering good service and atmosphere for many of our dying town centres. They also provide a place for families and old people to go who may be lonely otherwise. Hope this review helps.

Had lunch in here Friday 29th with mum and sister. Had a really delicious food. I had lasagne chips and salad, mum had steak and kidney pudding, sister had loaded fries and chicken. Couldn't fault the food or service. However, 2 female guests, who were auditioning for the upcoming movie of 2 fat slags from the viz magazine really spoilt it. Very loud, foul language, obscene talk and generally not knowing how to behave in public. No wonder this place is closing. People like that, put off others from visiting. I wouldn't take my kids in there to listen to the filth that was spewing from these peoples mouths. Of course you wouldn't say anything to them because you'd get a nouthful of abuse back. Such a shame.
