The Buck Inn - JD Wetherspoon

Started out pub crawl down along the high street here on Saturday Afternoon. It didn't start well when my partner who asked for a Pinot and soda water received a Chardonnay bit confused as to how such a simple request can be gotten wrong. Relatively busy, and would have been plenty of seating if the staff would clear the tables of food, there must have been around 15 tables with leftover food which members of staff continually walked past and ignored, even the tables that were free from plates had not been sprayed and wiped down so unfortunately as far as cleanliness goes it's one of the worst we've visited. Not quite sure what the manager is getting his staff to do but hey ho.

A decent venue overall. Bright and modern on one side, where the bar is located, and standard Wetherspoons with carpets on the other. A huge venue, extremely popular and packed out on a Saturday afternoon. Decent food and a quick turnaround. Had the BBQ Chicken Melt, which didn't look great, but tasted good. Would certainly recommend.

Always sticky tables, even after wiping. Service can be hit and miss. A smile from the server extremely rare. Food might be considered good value, but no modern, healthy options, just low calorie, low protein, which is poor. I appreciate they are working to a budget, but given their sales volume, the menu is due an overhaul. UPDATE: Got a smile from the charming young lady behind the bar today. That’s a first! Tables and other bar furniture still super sticky and they can’t be bothered to clean even when you ask. Time go an environmental health inspection. If it’s like this out front, what’s it like in the back of house? Sticky unwashed bar tables can harbor a variety of germs, including E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus, which can cause infections. These germs thrive in environments where food and drinks are served, especially if the surfaces are not regularly cleaned. END. Wetherspoons generally a great brand, providing a good value place for people to meet. This one is average. Needs more cheerful and dynamic leadership, perhaps; or, allow tipping for good service?

Good pub. Great beers and excellent prices. Nice seating area and booths. Outside seating, suitable for disabled. Food is generally pub grub quality, I like the fish and chips, chips are OK, the fish is lovely, fresh cooked. Well worth a visit,

This Wetherspoons has a bit of everything, lots of kerb appeal,lovely outside area,friendly staff ,but best of all a cold cheap pint!!! Parking outside is pay and display .Didn't eat at this one but saw lots of meals coming out of the kitchen that looked and smelled gr8.Would highly recommend if your in the area!!!!
