Forums Forums Local News JD Wetherspoon's @ New Brighton

Basically it depends where you are. If the stuff is no good you don't go there again. Like I've said before, the Wetherspoons I've been to up to now have all been ok. Went to one of their rival chain places over at Kings Lynn and the beef ribs were still frozen near to the bone, won't bother with a Harvester again but it was probably a one off, couldn't give a toss staff member, tough on the others but they won't miss my measly few quid once in a blue moon.

I've only been to a Wetherspoons once. It was in York. I found the beer reasonable and the food was quite good. The service was fine, but shades of the stick-on smile and "have a nice day" crappola. Good value for money at the end of the day I suppose.

Hardly a representative sample agreed, but just my 2d's worth.

Agreed there Pinz. If you're with the right company though any old watering hole can turn into a good run ashore, best never to eat on an empty stomach anyway.

Had a curry in the New Ferry pub today, lovely place, clean, lovely staff and for less than a fiver a curry and a pint. good value.
They make their money by selling by volume, I have had one bad experience in the brass balance a few years, but a polite complaint and it was quickly sorted.
I will go therer again

Good service goes a long way.

I had a meal in the Brass Balance a couple of months ago; no complaints.

Unless a pub is freehold the best way for them to make money is via food and as a result I have found in my somewhat limited experience that you are going to get a good meal ( or as some would put it - what you pay for) more or less where ever you go on the wirral.

Should you ever have a problem then its usually sorted straight away. Stay away from the big chains and go to the "little pubs" some cracking food to be had
