I just loved this old timer pub. Drinks are cheaper than any pub I went to. Staff are friendly and toilets are relatively cleaner than other Wetherspoons (🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️). Can't complain much. There were some blokes going real rowdy with slot machines and glasses breaking (two times back to back) but as a guest there, I kinda enjoyed it.

Don't be fooled by the not so great presentation, this fish and chips is one of the best I've eaten in a long time.
The quality of the fish, the batter cooked to perfection, the taste and texture of the chips made this one great meal!
Only the peas let it down slightly for me as they were a bit runny, almost soup like. But that would come down to preference so don't let it put you off.
Knocked a post off the chips simply because of the quantity, could have done with a few more.
The presentation wasn't the best as you can see, but I would rather, a dish not presented perfectly with a perfectly cooked meal than the other way around.
Well done chef!
Usual spoonies food. Great value for money and quick service. Food was also very good and freshly cooked
What you come to expect from a Spoons really, good value drink and food.
Table was cleaned as soon as we sat down, generally the pub looked well, clean and friendly staff.
Only gripe was…. My crumble and custard was luke warm and took 10 minutes to arrive.
Good location on main road ...spacious seatings area and the staff is friendly and helpful
Food is freshly prepared and cooked well 😋
I can't praise Wetherspoon for this Pub, and I like what the Wetherspoon stand for. The standards of cleanliness are pretty low, the tables and menus are all sticky, you can also find various ketchups sandwiched in the menu.
I have never been in a Wetherspoon this poorly managed. Only saving grace is the fast service, for which the staff need to be commended.
Staff is good and hardworking but I guess some care towards cleanliness will make this chain better.
A good Wetherspoons. We visited on a Sunday afternoon about 4.30pm. It was fairly quiet. We ordered via their app and drinks were brought to the table almost immediately. Our food was only 10 minutes later. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meals, particularly the burgers and lemon and herb half roast chicken.
Such a nice chill vibe, awesome prices and portion sizes. if you go definitely don’t skip dessert as it’s amazing!!!
Visited this spot for breakfast before shopping in Templars Shopping Park over the road.
Couldn't get a signal to order on the app & the lady we ordered from at the bar wasn't particularly helpful.
Food was quick to arrive & okay considering how much it cost.
Other staff we encountered were fine, but we probably won't rush back.
Quite a busy pub, lots of seating. In the middle of the cowley centre, it is beneficial to go for a drink or food after/ before shopping. Prices are very reasonable considering a drink is included in most meals. Waiting time for food is good. It comes to the table quite quickly even when the pub is busy. Staff are hardworking and friendly. Only downside is plates and glasses are not cleared away as a lot of tables had not been cleared or cleaned.
