after waiting an hour an a half for no food at another restaurant we came to spoons knowing we'd still get food late evening. Sat down and was eating and drinking within 10 minutes. Service was amazing, food was pretty good (above par for a spoons). Should have come here in the first place!Shout out to the other tables who joined in singing happy birthday to my mate!

Very busy for a Sunday. Entrance on a one way street which makes it safer to access. Big and deep building set on multi levels. Bonus for seniors, there is a lift to the toilets. Real fire in the lounge bar where you can watch the trains going by. Terrace for sunny day drinking. A very enjoyable visit.

Enjoyable Wetherspoons pub, housed in a historical, beautifully restored old cinema picture house. Comfortable and clean, served by pleasant and hard working staff.Great value food and fair priced drinks, enjoyed a very nice curry, rice, naan and poppadoms, with a pint for just £10What's not to like!

We regretted eating here the last time, today was the final nail in the coffin.The cod and chips( full size) was pathetic, the cod was tiny and I do mean tiny, probably a quarter of the size of a normal piece of cod from the chip shop and cooked rock solid.The peas were cold on both my meal and my wife pie and mash.My wife lucked out though because her pie came with luke warm instant mash, yummy.This wetherspoons was always a decent place to go, decent food served quick but since the prices have gone up the quality has gone down the toilet.We will never visit again.

Really nice pub, large seating area and well furnished for a Weatherspoons. The food was quickly served and was hot and tasty, the waiting staff were polite and friendly, However what really spoiled our evening was the service from the girls behind the bar who were rude, impolite with no manners, it appeared that they obviously did not enjoy their job and did not really want to be there, such a shame.

Love this place! Yes, it's rowdy. And yes, it attracts a 'certain element' with their horrid kids screaming their heads off, leaving an apocalyptic mess on the floor when they leave. But you just can't beat the incredible prices, speedy service, beautiful interior and tasty food.

Always happy to eat here. Good quality food for a very reasonable price. Like the idea of being able to order from your phone rather than trying to get the attention of a staff member or going to the bar. App could be easier to navigate but just being picky. Staff are friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.

Yesturday we decided to visit bexhill, we live in eastbourne. Popped in for a cold drink after our bus ride and before we went for a wander along front. On return we ordered all day brunch, gourmet steak, large vodka /lemonade and large glass of rose wine. Bill came to £24.15 which was very reasonable. The steak was perfectly cooked rare . Egg with brunch was lovely and runny as it should be. Service was very quick and the staff are exceptionally polite and hard working. The place is spotlessly clean. The roof top garden is beautiful , we felt so chilled out we stayed for another drink and soaked up the sunshine. We have visited approx 30 different Wetherspoon's ( I am always I interested in the history of their buildings) and this one is the best by far .

I walked over from Hastings to have breakfast here, because I'd heard this is a special Wetherspoon. It didn't disappoint. Not only is this a beautiful art deco building, but its beauties are clearly being cared for by the company. So the interior is a feast for the eyes. It still has a theatrical feel to it. A bonus for me was that in the sunken area you can sit within sight of an open kitchen and watch the chefs at work. You do read about exploitation of staff by Spoon's and examples of questionable cooking practices. But this kitchen looked vibrant to me, with everyone working as a busy team and laughing and joking. The proof of that was in my Full English Breakfast, because I was served a perfectly runny egg, something I don't expect at a Spoon's. In theory, all Spoon's breakfasts are the same from pub to pub; but this was the best I've had. It was all hot! And the waiting staff were excellent too. With a Pepsi, I had all that for about £8.

The pub was busy, even for a Tuesday afternoon. Nonetheless the food came out quickly and was well cooked. Family of four ate with drinks for £28 so bargain.The pub itself was well set, tables crammed in a little bit, but the facilities were clean and usable.Would use again. Recommended for a cheap dinner.

We always enjoy visiting this Wetherspoons as it is a nice atmosphere and the food is always good. Most of the staff are friendly and the service is quick and helpful. The choice of beers is extensive and the staff are happy to give advice on those available. We've never had a bad meal here, and always enjoy the buzz of the atmosphere.

The Picture Playhouse is a lovely building, and as the name suggests used to be a cinema. The food is tasty, although some dishes are on the smaller portion size. The staff are always helpful. I just find it too noisy in there to properly enjoy myself.

Having not eaten in Wetherspoons before I was at a loss to know how to order and avoid my allergies, an extremely helpful barman called Kyle helped me and showed me the information allowing me the time and space to make my choices, very good serviceDietary restrictions: Very good selections for vegans

Wetherspoons Facilities, Bars, Good Food and Outside Terrace Eating. Food very reasonable in these difficult times with rising prices with all sectors of food and drink. ??? ? Toilets on 1st Floor. Disabled Toilet on ground floor, easy access. ? Very polite bar and waiting staff. ?Lift from ground floor to the first floor, for the toilets. Prices reasonable despite inflation.

A very nice Wetherspoon! I?m not usually a fan, but this is a great place. Lovely building and interior. The carpet is amazing! The food was good and great value as always. Such a nice change from the gritty Spoons in Hastings. I?d love to come back.
