Nice place for a weatherspoons, great location. Had a small issue with the food being slightly raw but when I informed a member of staff they were more than happy to take it back and send out a brand new meal for us

The amazing staff were so nice and friendly, I wish I could replace my family and friends with them. The venue was tasteful, classy, and had lots of individual toilets, as well as an elevator to bypass the stairs. The beer was exquisite, I drank lots (but not too much). Friendly atmosphere, great entertainment, and a big car park.
