The Pump House

Last time I was here was 2015,popped in for some lunch with my partner as we were in Shirley High Street. Had our usual tikka curry,it was a bit watery which is very unusual for there chicken tikka curry. Also I went to use disabled toilet but someone missed the toilet so there was alot of urine on the floor,you could smell it,hence that I informed staff who just said its water from the sink without even checking,ok,so that's why not full stars given.

What is there to say, great selection of beer (guiness for me) and spirits at excellent prices. The locations quite good too in the middle of shirley. The food for what it is is good value for money, we go to lots of pubs and you csn easily pay twice what we pay here. And they have the ordering from your table sewn up, they had this working before covid. Others could learn a lot from Wetherspoons!!! And to top it off the beer is great. Alls I can say is thankyou wetherspoons !!!

So my free refillable tea/coffee was very reasonable and very nice latte! I saw the picture of the muffin and I even prepared the napkins for the beautiful juicy egg mess that was undoubtedly gonna happen . . . But my egg was rock hard, and even had a bit of shell :-( so even at the good price and did granted taste very good it's not quite the juicy egg pictured that I wanted.

Enjoyed my veggie breakfast this morning, instead of tomatoes I had an extra piece of toast, like the the fact they were totally flexible and said I could change any item with another so long it was on that particular meal. Very reasonable priced at just £4.50. Like the fact that tea or coffee is only £1,20 and you can have as many refills as you like, also you can do some shopping and come back say an hour latter and continue having free refills. I had Tea, Latte then finished off with a double decaf expresso. Nice outside seating area where you can watch the world go by. Plenty of indoor seats and it wasn't too overcrowded when I was their at 11.15am, Tuesday. There's plenty of parking available, I use the shoppers carpark which gives you free parking for up to 3 hours.

Half decent sized Weatherspoons on the Shirley main road. Generous seating and well designed for flow, some of the tables are rickety, so be careful when putting down your drinks. If you want it light and airy, then sit near the front, the back is quite dark. Waiting times are 15 mins on average for food and up to about 45 mins during peak times. Food is the usual Weatherspoons stuff, this one does Pizza as well. They are the average Weatherspoons sized portions and the chip amount tends to be on the higher count. They are quite stingy on the beans though, at times can be just two tablespoons.
